We're still doing wonderfully well! A huge turnout tonight and some great RP had all around! Man this is exciting.
83
Hunting, Brawling, Stories, an epic trek and--- Flaming bees?

...Camp fires can get weird, but it's the Orcish atmosphere that mattered.

And the event chain hasn't even started yet!
84

Best of luck with the relaunch, Kozgugore! I had the pleasure of seeing the Orcs of the Red Blade around a bit when you first moved over, and several of my guild's members past and present speak very kindly of the kind of platform you encourage.

All the best, and hopefully our paths will cross!

Many thanks! It's indeed a shame we didn't get around to interacting a whole lot before our guild went poof, but hopefully we can rectify this in the time to come! We're certainly still be up for cross-guild activities! :D

Hey, was in the guild years ago as an Orc shaman, was wondering if you had any footage of the Stromgarde Battle on DBH, can't remember what year it was unfortunately :(

That's a looong time ago! And if memory serves, there's been quite a number of battles surrounding Stromgarde. Even so, no video footage here, I'm afraid. I may have several screenshots lying around still depending on which exact siege you're referring to, but I'm afraid goblin technology was still a bit too limited to record any moving images back then.


Now, we're one day removed from a grand, new beginning! Granted, we count a little more (quite a number more, in fact) than we had first anticipated, but with a few adjustments in place, we're hoping to make a great time out of it nonetheless! No one is going to die, I assure you.

Missed the sign-up? Not to worry! If you're desperate enough to join us still, simply get in touch with me and we'll see what we can sort out! If not, we will, as always, remain completely open for recruitment once the campaign has concluded in two weeks from now as well!

Well, that was certainly one kodo of an experience! Our turn-out was even bigger than we at first anticipated, numbering at a whopping 36 orcs in a single raid! Considering my expectations laid around 10 or so when I first started out, I'd say it's safe to say that we're dealing with a modest success!

As such, I'd like to thank everyone who chose to attend our little campaign thus far! Hopefully the event was to your liking, even if it may have been a little more hectic than expected with so many people in attendance, and we'll see you again on our next, upcoming event! For those who missed it, here's a little report:

Mysterious Tidings

The sun had begun to set when the large caravan of orcs was closing in on the deserted, isolated campsite they had been directed to. For some, it had been the spirits who had guided them into these lands through visions and ill tidings. For most, however, the grim invitation came from a mysterious letter that was given to them from an unknown source, warning them of an imminent threat seeking to end their lives. Truth or otherwise, some of those who received this dire news took the words of its writer, an orc by the name of Kozgugore Feraleye, to heart. Some of them had already met one another upon the road on their way to the mysterious meeting place. Others arrived by themselves, on the same day or later, stalled by personal matters. Some, however, never arrived at all.

Any suspicion the orcs might have had, was well-warranted. The camp the letter led them to was found in a derelict state; abandoned, neglected and completely isolated from the rest of civilization. What's more, however, is that there was no sign whatsoever of the writer of the warning and invitation... The hour was late, however, so there was no choice but to camp there for the night, for the moon had already risen high and predators were out on the hunt. Some orcs had set up their own campfires to mingle and get to know one another. Others saw fit to set up a watch, even patrols and scouting parties, as they had trouble feeling at ease with their surroundings. When night came, however, many found themselves asleep in the one tent that still offered some manner of shelter to the elements.

The night can be a treacherous time, even for nocturnal animals. As most of the orcs slept in the confines of the tent, those standing watch had no idea what was happening behind their backs. Mysterious, cloaked figures had found a way into the camp, well removed from the only obvious path that led into the campsite's valley. Daggers were slipped from their sheaths in the dark and pressed against their sleeping victims' throats... But vigilance persevered. Some orcs stirred from their sleep before the deed could be done, awakened by unknown, hidden powers. Others who stood on guard noticed a movement in the darkness and went to investigate. And some others... well, they simply had a restless child who, for just this once, was a fortunate distraction for its mother to keep her from her sleep.

Before the assassins' foul deeds could be done, various orcs jumped in just in time to warn the others who, despite the sleep in their eyes and the lack of blood pumping in their limbs, put up a valiant defense against their own, personal killers. More orcs rushed to the tent to ward off the attackers, working in unison to fight them off. Orcs that had previously never known one another, stood side by side to fight off an unknown threat that had come to mercilessly cut their throats in the dark. Much blood was spilled that night, but most of it was not from the assassins' targets, but of their own veins. When the morning sun dawned, well over a dozen assassins laid dead, their origins or loyalties unknown. Some of them had made for a hasty retreat, however, using the cover of their comrades to escape. Whatever tracks they left behind will have to be snuffed out soon, before the elements wash them away...


For all future reports on the campaign's events, do keep an eye on the campaign thread!
