Wars of Warcraft: Month 13
Quel'thalas' Prince Returned. - After months of absence, the rebel prince has been sent back to Quel'thalas by the hands of Sylvannas Windrunner. Thalressar Sunstrider had been behind the kidnapping of Varian Wyrnn, the prince of Stormwind, and various other pirate type attacks throughout the past year. However with his defeat at the hands of Kul Tiras and his capture by Stormwind his time of pirating seems to be finished. His father, Anasterian Sunstrider has since thrown him in a prison on the island where the Sunwell is located as to keep him as far away from the mainland as possible.
Witherbark Tribe Joins Vilebranch. - A month after aiding the Vilebranch in the defense of Stromgarde Keep the weakend troll faction of the Witherbark tribe has agreed to join the more powerful tribe of the Vilebranch. The joining of these two tribes brings two of the most powerful shaman in all of Azeroth together in the same tribe now as Hexx and Mai'jin are now working together.
(Vilebranch Tribe: +12 shaman, +30 axe-throwers, +76 warriors, Mai'jin, +50 gold per turn.)
Trolls Best Humans in Port of Stromgarde! - Just one month after the Vilebranch were able to resist the attacks of Dalaran and Lordaeron they did it once more, this time the forces of Gilneas where involved as well however. The majority of the month was spent with the humans looking for fortified areas around the keep in the Arathi Highlands, but this was a waste of time as the trolls had not ventured from the keep to build such defenses. Hexx hadn't ordered any more patrols either this month limiting the death toll for the force. While the humans were searching on land for defenses, they were striking the bay of Stromgarde by sea with ships and mages. The humans were successful in sinking one of the troll ships, but it was empty as the trolls had all taken shelter within the walls of Stromgarde. Annoyed with the cannon fire and spells being flung by the mages Hexx and Mai'jin combined their efforts sending a massive tidal wave towards the Gilnean and Lordaeron ships sinking a good amount and sending the rest retreating. Once the humans retreated the Vilebranch made quick work of capturing the frigates scattered in the sea that once belonged to Stromgarde.
(Vilebranch: -1 Destoryer, +5 Frigates.
Lordaeron: -2 Battleships, -2 Frigates.
Gilneas: -5 Frigates, -1 Battleship, +1 level Zachary Charles.
Stromgarde: -5 Frigates.)
Humans Breach Stromgarde Walls. - When the humans had finally searched the highlands and found no signs of defenses they laid seige to the walls of Stromgarde once more. With their naval strike bested they knew this was their final chance of the month. They sent all they had at the walls, mages, catapults, knights. It was very costly for all the humans, but they finally breached the front gates and punch large holes into the walls around the keep. As the humans began to pour into the courtyard Hexx ordered a full retreat as there was nothing to oppose them in the bay. Many troll warriors stayed back to delay the forces as the majority of the Vilebranch forces fled to the boats. By the time the humans had defeated the warriors who stay back the rest of the force had already set sail and covered themselves with fog.
(Vilebranch: -55 warriors, -12 axe-throwers. +1 level Hexx and Mai'jin.
Lordaeron: -200 warriors, -44 archers, 60 knights, -40 clerics, -8 mages. +1 level to all heroes involved.
Dalaran: -15 mages, -10 clerics. +1 level Dakrin.
Gilneas: -150 warriors, -50 archers, -20 knights, -45 clerics, -6 mages. +1 level to all heroes involved.)
Trollbane's Return Home.- Months had passed since the Trollbane's had left their home to wage war upon the Vilebranch trolls, and they had gone from a once great nation to a now crippled and almost destroyed nation. Their once great kingdom has been molested by troll magic and their keep has been battered by a massive battle. The navy is now nonexistant for Stromgarde and the people look toward the future as they pray the trolls do not return to their homeland any time soon.
Hope's Landing Complete. - A month after Fort Stormwind's construction the people of Stormwind have completed the small coastal village of Hope's Landing! The village has been utilized as a small fishing village as they begin to establish farms and send hunting parties around the Modan Highlands. So far there have been no threats to the village, or the fort for that matter, as the trolls to their north have been busy with a war of their own. With time, this village could eventually turn into a great city as the people of Stormwind look to make their new home.
(Stormwind: +15 gold per turn, +10 lumber per turn.)
Faol Frees Garona! - Wielding the power of the light for the past months Alonsus Faol has attempted to break Garona free of the bonds by the great ogre warlock Cho'gall. This month his persitance has finally paid off as the orc assassin has finally been freed from the ogre's control. Garona, once a good friend of Khadgar, Medivh and the former King of Stormwind Llan Wyrnn, has asked to be let loose. Lothar, the current leader of Stormwind, has allowed her to depart as he was assured she would not rejoin the Horde who used fel magics to break her will. Unsure of what the orc will do Lothar has asked her to join Stormwind, an offer she took into great consideration but had to refuse at this point in time.
(Garona: Level 6 Assassin, wandering hero.)
Rise of Uther. - The apprentice knight of the great cleric Alonsus Faol has gained the attention of the Reagent King of Stormwind. Uther has now been shown great potential on the battlefield and leading armies, and so Lothar has promoted him filling the position that had been vacated with the loss of John J. Keeshan.
(Stormwind: +1 Knight/Cleric Hero Uther.)
Cambri Thundermar Finishes Training. - The elves of Quel'thalas have recently agreed to help train the cousin of Colin Thundermar, Cambri. She has shown great knowledge of the arcane and has completed her training quickly. Now she has joined the ranks of the Thundermar army and is ready to lead mages of her own.
(Thundermar Clan: +1 level 1 mage hero Cambri Thundermar.)
Wildhammer Sends Emissaries to Ironforge. - As the Bronzebeard clan has been petitioning for the aid of the Wildhammer clan to battle the oncoming Horde they have agreed to send emissaries. This is a sign that the Wildhammer still do not believe in this Horde, but are willing to give the Bronzebeard's the benefit of the doubt by sending observers should there truly be such an evil, bloodthursty force advancing.
Horde Overrun Dark Irons. - With the arrival of the main Horde forces they overwhelmed the Dark Iron forces outside of their capitol city of Blackrock City. Forcing the remaining dwarven forces deep into hiding, the Horde have progressed into the Searing Gorge but will have to halt their rampage northward as Orgrim Doomhammer was injured in the battle by the last remaining rifleman of the Dark Iron Clan.
(Dark Iron: -100 warriors, -11 riflemen. +1 level Dagran Thaurissan.
Blackrock Clan: -270 warrior, -7 spearmen. +1 level Gulnarg, -1 level Orgrim Doomhammer.
Dark Scar Clan: -30 warriors, -5 spearmen. +1 level Kash'drakor.
Dragonmaw Clan: -28 warriors, -7 warlocks. +1 level Zuluhead the Whacked.
Lightning's Blade Clan: -12 warriors, -10 spearmen. +1 level all heroes.
Twilight's Hammer Clan: +1 level all heroes.)
Frostwolves Attacked Again. - In hopes of freeing their leader, the humans have struck the Frostwolf clan once more. Although this time wasn't as successful as Draka herself was there to greet the humans. Draka was able to wield the elements and inflict heavy damage to the humans, forcing them the retreat back into the mountains.
(Frostwolf Clan: -10 warriors. +1 level Draka.
Captain Reginald Windsor: -3 warriors, -3 archers. +1 level.)
Gul'dan Awakens! - The lead warlock of the Horde, the most powerful warlock and leader of the most powerful clan of warlocks the Stormreaver clan, has awoken. Gul'dan and his Stormreaver clan have finally come through the dark portal and look to spread destruction across Azeroth.
(Horde: +Stormreaver Clan, +level 10 warlock Gul'dan.)
Sen'jin Summons Great Water Element. - Sen'jin, the leader of the Darkspear tribe of trolls and great shaman has summoned a powerful water element. This water element is rumored to be a liutenant of Neptulan, the powerful old god of the water elemental plane, himself. Lord Hydronis has seemed to be cooperative with the troll shaman as Sen'jin was only powerful enough to summon the elemental and not control it yet. For now it seems that Hydronis will serve the Darkspear tribe loyally.
