The Lionheart

Summary


The Lionheart is an officially chartered guild within the Alliance. It is a guild consisting of powerful and unique individuals, who have united together to face the darkness that threatens their world. After several years of dormancy, the guild makes its return as new foes threaten to emerge.

The guild must balance a future they want to be a part of with a bloody legacy spanning several years. After all, where great threats arise, death is always lurking nearby and ready to claim them.

Old and new faces alike have come together to safeguard the future of the world as the Lionheart embarks on one last adventure…

Will they see it through to the end?

Story - “The Blood of Gods”


The Lionheart has returned to Khaz Algar at last. New members were recruited and old ones returned to the fold. They reunited with those few who chose to stay behind and now must focus on an important task: ensuring that the Black Blood underneath the surface of the world does not end up in the wrong hands.

They found allies in the earthen, with the former Stormrider Yolgra who requested the guild’s help in reuniting their old Stormrider unit. When they succeeded, however, tragedy struck that saw two abducted by nerubians in an ambush, a third killed, and the fourth corrupted into a skardyn.

Alone with the Lionheart, they sought to chase the nerubians and had to traverse the Ringing Deeps where another threat lurked in the shadows… The very being that is kept away by the kobolds’ many candles. It took the heroes three encounters before they could defeat the Darkness and go down into Azj-Kahet. Yolgra, however, faltered and returned to Dornogal for the time being.

In Azj-Kahet, the Lionheart visited the niffen of Marrl as they tracked down a group of Venture Company goblins who were allegedly very interested in the Black Blood. Determined to do their duty, they followed them to the Maddening Deeps where they found the goblins massacred and their minds assailed by the overwhelming corrupting influence of the Blood. If not for the Heritage Forces, they might not have made it out alive - or sane.

Fractures had long begun to form in the Lionheart and the ever-pervasive Void influence did much to strain their unity on various occasions. Emotions flared up, dismissals happened and some even departed for their own sanity. Yet those who remained saw the City of Threads and rescued a Lamplighter, a blood elf, and one of the earthen Stormriders.

Now, after discovering the plot of a rogue magistrate, Akkri’tal, the Lionheart find themselves in Hallowfall preparing to fend off an attack by the nerubians who seek to continue the legacy of Ansurek - with the added objective of razing Dornogal to the ground to clear a centuries-old grudge.

Good luck, lads. Personal differences aside, Lionheart was a very significant time in my life and I am happy to have been part of it. I hope this revival goes well.

I fondly remember the stories around the Lionheart - they are iconic and a bit of a classic, really.

It’s amazing to see them back at it again. But a question - from your guild presentation I gather your stories are going to be mostly with a selected few? That is, it is unlikely for you to meet with other groups out there in the wide world?

Thank you for your kind words, everyone!

To elaborate on this, there will be plenty of moments for us to wander into people out in the open world! The way that this will work is that there will be a “main narrative”, which is for the selected few and will be told in the major campaigns, but it won’t be the only thing the Lionheart will do.

In between these campaigns, and there will be months in between, there will be a variety of other storylines for us to do - either done by myself or others - or we might run into a group while we’re in, say, Stromgarde and do something together with them because our groups click well. These stories could bring us to another part of the world as well; we’re not bound to any of the hubs we visit during our downtime.

That sounds cool. In that case, perhaps I will meet you in the wide world.

We are holding out for the heroes of the Alliance then. Will look forward reading your epic stories.

I have good memories from my time on Bresga in the guild.
Still have the tarot card that the guild pooled together to have made for members, good times!

Hope I won’t run into you IC since I’ll have to shoot you in the backs when no one is watching, but good to see it back!

Yess!! The tarot cards were honestly amazing. Glad to see you’re still around, Bresga!

We’ve just completed our first campaign, and it was a great time! Beat up some gnolls, fought some kobolds and capped it off with the classic cave showdown. Kudos to Guillaume for once again being a great DM…

I very much enjoyed getting back into the swing of things with some nice folks :slightly_smiling_face:
