In our journey of classifying spells by their function we have covered many exciting Schools. We discussed potent Divinations, witnessed majestic Illusions, and studied the extensive utility of Conjuration. But in our journey we have yet to discuss the most controversial of all Schools of Magic.

This Friday, the Lullaby returns with an evening dedicated to nothing short of NECROMANCY in all its controversial and disgusting might. But, 'lo and behold, for there is a lot more to this grand category of magical spells and rituals than merely animating the dead.

Are you an aspiring spellcaster, a valiant knight, or merely a curious citizen? Do you wish to learn more about the magical arts? The Lullaby offers an evening of insight into this exciting subject!

The Lullaby
“The Lullaby” is a free-standing group of scholars created by Dalaran-born and former Kirin Tor student, Sir Ashkaar Laerent Armandel, and now managed by Brill-born and former Kirin Tor student May L. Winters. The members of the organization are magicians that together are deepening their knowledge and understanding in specific magical subjects. While many of the Lullaby’s scholars share a strong, common interest in magic in general, we differ in our specializations and together we sit on a rather large base of knowledge.

The School of Necromancy
On the evening of Friday the 5th of July at 7:00 pm the Lullaby shall host a public lecture on the subject of the School of Necromancy in the Hall of Explorers in the dwarf-city of Ironforge.

For a small fee of 20 silver pieces, you will have full access to almost an hour of education, discussion, as well as educational material by May L. Winters and the other teachers of the Lullaby.

Do you have questions or are interested in joining? Send a letter to May L. Winters, directed to the Blue Recluse Tavern and Inn in Stormwind.

Nibbles and drinks are provided afterwards for a section of mingling and an opportunity to speak directly to the teacher, to each other and to other present members of the Lullaby.

OOC Information

Eh, what is this?
While we have covered Necromancy and the Undead before, this time, as part of our Evenings of Magic series, we’ll be studying it under a different and broader angle. Join us for some very controversial coverage that will interest all, from death knight to paladin!

I am a warrior, can I come!?
Of course! This is for any class and character interested in learning a little more about magic in general, and not just those that might be interested due to their occupations.

Even if I am a… gnome death knight!?
Of course!

Will the lecture feature practical demonstrations?
We always try to integrate practical demonstrations! Of course, we can’t give specifics without giving spoilers.

But… you’re not mages; you’re warlocks! Halp!
Yes, Eredun Lullaby is a warlock-only organization, but during the events we will be acting as “regular” scholars and mages. The subject at hand will not include public displays of demons or dark magic, except for basic magic educational purposes.

You will, of course, not know ICly that we’re in fact warlocks without evidence to the contrary.

So why do you do this?
The official reasoning behind this is that we only wish to preserve and spread knowledge about magic. Regardless of what type of magic a caster uses, there is always some fundamentals to consider, and as scholars, such topics are things we’re very eager to cover!

Of course, there is a second reason for doing this: we seek to find potential recruits, or even people we can perhaps direct to… darker ways for defending the Alliance, Azeroth… or even furthering personal interests, to a degree.

(Note however that recruits only can be warlocks, so you can’t actually join the guild as another class even if you ICly roleplay to deal with fel magic and demons, etc.)

OOC we want to bring people together, create role play, find possible recruits and spread the word about ourselves a little more, seeing that we are at most times hidden away in Surwich. And, of course, to promote quality role play for the purple tag!

How do I sign up again?
Send an in game mail to any guild member, or simply let us know in this thread or via Discord! Please request an event invite for the character(s) you’d like to attend. You may also find us at the Alliance Warlock Discord server.

Oh noes, I forgot to sign up! Can I still come?
Yes, you can. The sign up is just to give us an idea of about how many that will come, so that we can plan this easier.

Any other questions can be asked here, or at our guild thread: [A-RP] [Warlock] Eredun Lullaby - Scholarlicious!

I should show up and show you why meddling little mortals should not play with the Art. But, I’ll let you explore and experience the Art and enjoy watching you slowly become one of us… :blush:

That and I’m also lazy.

4

You should show up, and learn a thing or two! This isn’t about mastering shadow and decay magic, but rather, learning what constitutes a necromantic spell, with whatever that entails~ I can guarantee you there’s going to be some very, very interesting things discussed and perhaps even demonstrated! Unfortunately we can’t guarantee safe passage to and inside Ironforge for Horde filth :eyes:

5

Knowledge is power. I’ll see if I can glean anything new from this venture and look forward to the show.

6

Wait you’re going to demonstrate necromantic practices?

7

Theo… You’re alive?

8

Looking forward to seeing you there! I’m counting on priests to show up, so spread the word!

You can be very, very sure that I have some fishy tricks up my sleeve this time :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Still, we’re going to remain fully legal during our lectures as always.

Yes, do “teach” me about Necromancy! goes into a fit of laughter

…I need to get to that trust level thing so I can post GIFs. :frowning_face:

And I posted on the wrong character. :poop:

11

Just out of curiousity, where do you view the line of legality regarding the more nefarious magics?

12

Generally speaking: summoning demons, defiling the dead, and injury or murder through any magical means would be outright illegal. Public usage of unpopular magic in not necessarily illegal ways, such as the exhibition of a fel flame without causing damage or injury, would be heinous and questionable but not outright illegal. Discussion of taboo magical subjects is obviously not an issue.

Within the context of the lecture, I can guarantee that nothing outright illegal will be displayed, and what we exhibit, IF we exhibit it, will be significantly dependent upon the contents of the lecture and audience volunteers.

If you have been to any of our older lectures you should know what sort of magical spectacle to expect however, as well as the logic behind the entire coverage of the topic!

13

I’ll have to round up some fellow undead and put a stop to this insult to all that is good and sacred.

A warlock, daring to tell others of the whims and whiles of that which lay beyond the mortal realm!? PREPOSTEROUS!

All jokes aside though, hope the entire event goes as well! Whilst I personally disagree with it seeing as it demystifies some of the innate enigma that is Necromancy I imagine it’ll be well presented and well delivered.

If not? Off to the ghoul pit with you.

The lecture is tomorrow, everyone! Still on schedule if I might add!

Thank you! I am hoping that too, last time we covered an aspect of the topic, namely at Necromancy and the Undead, it became our best-ever turnout, and one of the most challenging to manage!
