Defense of Pandaria StoryWith the ongoing battle against the Void Lords and their corrupted minions assaulting different regions in an effort to claim them in the name of the Old Gods, the Pandaren of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms have send out messengers requesting the aid of the Horde and the Alliance.
The Pandarens face enemies on different fronts. From the north, Mogu pour down of Kun-Lai and have a constant pressure on the defenders of the Vale. Being the harsh warriors that they are, they are giving the Defenders no breaks in their relentless assault to try and regain control of the land, it is unknown at this time if they are corrupted by the Void Lords or if they are out for their own gain.
From the west, an new threat has awoken, and much sooner then expected by the Pandaren. The Mantid are back out assaulting the Wall and the Vale, causing the Defenders of the Vale to be spread thinly on different fronts. Many are lost and even more are injured. It is but time now that will determine just how long the Defenders can cling on to this battle.
Even more worrying is that the tribes of Yaungol have banded together in the Steppes and are currently moving through the land gaining support and preparing their war machinery for battle. Scouts report that the Yaungol intend to break through the thinly defended Wall of Kun-Lai Summit bordering Townlong Steppes. If they succeed in pushing into Kun-Lai, then the Pandarens there are in grave danger having only just picked up their lives again from the recent disasters. If they succeed in Kun-Lai, surely they will then move south into the Vale causing the Defenders to have no other choice but to leave the Vale
Furthermore, known enemies of the world have shown up to make a profit throughout the chaos created by the corrupted minions. The Venture Co has made encampments in Townlong Steppes seeking to strip the land of it’s resources for their own, destroying whatever they can find in the process!
With messengers arriving in Stormwing and Orgrimmar, the High Commands send messages to one another in an effort to come with a combined plan to protect the Vale, and stay out of each other’s way as much as possible as there are understandably still tensions between both Factions
It is decided that the Alliance will strike for the Dread Wastes and make an effort to halt the ongoing stream of Mantid for the time being to allow the Pandaren to recover in the Vale and give them time to rebuild their defenses.
The Horde decides to face this threat in Townlong Steppes and take on the Yaungol seeking to advance into Kun-Lai. Being better matched in field of battle against the Yaungol in terms of strength. This seems like the best options. Giving the alliance the tactical work against the Mantid and the Horde the brute force job
Horde
Info on Horde.
Overseer: Jessina/Jelria on alt.
Selected Leader: Tealeaf
Second in Command: Sindaes and selected officers of the Gilded Blades
Zone for the Campaign: Townlong Steppes / Possibly Kun-Lai
Camp of stay: Longying Outpost
Council: Will be formed by Tealeaf / Sindaes
Main focus: Defeat the Yaungol by stopping their advance towards Kun-Lai at any cost.
The main story for the Horde is being developed by Sindaes and Tealeaf, as they will be responsible for the Horde side of things in terms of leading and setting up, they will create the plot and see the campaign through a good run for the Horde.
A council will be formed for all guild leaders and selected officers to discuss coming missions and so forth. Though leaving that to Tealeaf and Sindaes to consider how to approach this.
Alliance
Info on Alliance.
Overseer: Jessina/Jelria
Selected Leader: Layla Flowershroud
Second in Command: Juleen Lysandré
Zone for the Campaign: Dread Wastes / Townlong Steppes.
Camp of stay: Gao-Ran Battlefront
Council: Will be formed by Layla.
Main focus: Halt the Mantid’s advance into the Vale to give the Defenders time to recuperate.
The main story for the Alliance is being developed by Jessina/Jelria, Layla and Juleen. Layla and Juleen will be taking care of the Alliance as the selected leader and co-leader with me (Jess/Jelria) being on overwatch for both factions.
A council will be formed for all leaders and selected officers to discuss coming plans.
Neutral faction?
Info on Neutrals.
There will not be a specific neutral faction this time around. If your character is from a neutral order / guild like ebon blade focussed or Argent Dawn per example, or just a character who does not strictly affiliate themselves with either factions. Then you are welcome to join the Campaign and aid the efforts of the Horde or Alliance whichever faction your character / race belongs to. Horde on Horde and Alliance on Alliance.
Seeing as this campaign is PvE focussed. It should be less difficult for Neutrals to stay out of faction specific quarrels.

F.A.Q
Click here for the F.A.Q
I want to DM during this Campaign, is this possible?
Yes, very much welcome to! just write that you’d like to DM in the Sign ups and we will add you to the list of DM’s, make sure to inform which faction you’d like to DM for.
What about Neutral individuals and guilds?
This time around, i have decided to let the Neutral factions play with the Horde or Alliance’s events, or let them host their own events if they are interested in joining this campaign. You are welcome, as a neutral to stay in either camp as you like. But being Horde means just joining their events, same for Alliance.
Can we RP-PvP?
RP-PvP is welcome but is not supported by the campaign staff directly. Meaning the DM’s for this Campaign won’t make an effort in creating RP-PvP events. We are focussed on giving a good PvE set campaign and story for people to enjoy.
However people are welcome to form their own events for PvP. It is expected though to host these on side-event days. As the focus on Main-Event days should be on the main story and the PvE.
How do we know about this campaign ICly?
Most simple answer i can give is posters, town criers. The call for help in the Vale is great and will have reached throughout the major Cities and towns asking for people to help the Pandaren.
How will we travel to the campaign areas?
Personal choice. Last time some guilds came alone, other guilds banded together to make like a landfall event coming in hot.
This is entirely to your own choosing.
Will there be a campaign map again?
Yes, we are working on a campaign map showing possible locations for events and main event areas for both horde and Alliance.
Will there be a calendar from google docs again?
Yes, there will be a calendar up where we post events, details and times.
As well as in the discord for the campaign itself where you can check which events are up for the current day.
Other threats?
There is another threat lurking in Pandaria that needs to be dealt with. To increase the amount of things to do in the Campaign, we came up with an idea to bring in second threats.
A threat in this campaign will be the Venture Company who is seeking to strip Townlong Steppes from it’s resources during all the chaos with the Yaungol. If the land is to remain safe and rich with resources, these cretins must be stopped!
Side events?
As with the previous campaigns, we intend to host side-events on the off-days for smaller groups to enjoy more player focussed events for both campaign related events but also just player progression. It was a lot of fun last time and was sure to be back again this time around!
How do i sign up to this Campaign?
Simply write down in the comment section if you are joining as a guild/Individual from either Horde or Alliance. And if you come as a group / guild, give an simple estimation of your expected number of people that will possibly attend the Campaign.
