A piece of paper is pinned to the Noticeboards in Orgrimmar, Razor Hill, Sen’jin village as well as Crossroads. It has been signed by the Durotar Pig farmers from region of Southfury Watershed and Thunder Ridge.
To all citizens, farmers and members of the Horde, as well as to the mercenary groups, adventurers groups and warbands. During the last months a Pig Farmers from Southfury region had to deal with the threat of Quilboar raids. While this isn’t something out of the ordinary.
The raids which we hadto deal with are highly organized and brutal. It all started week after the ceasefire between the Horde and the Alliance. When some of the farmers from the regions were dispatched home. Among them was a long-lived veteran of many wars, Korfar Steelteeth as well as his sons and his son’s wives. Mate of Korfar took care of his five grandchildren during the War. It was a big and respected family in the Southfury.
That was until the dawn, where Korfar and his mate were found dead and mutilated in their own pig farm. The scene of crime was all with then fresh blood. To put it well, it was horrible scene. But there were three details which the investigator grunts who meet our milita shared with us. One, there were no corpses of Korfar’s sons, son’s spouses and their children. Two, the pigs of Korfar’s farm were nowhere to be seen, there were vague trails which lead nowhere. Three, there were a strange mugs all filled with the blood. While it sounded occultic to me, the investigator later said that there were thorns, floating in the mug.
Suffice to say, this case wasn’t solved. Aside from reasonable suspicon that these were Quillboars behind all of this. Farmer militia and the grunts found one of the nearest Krauls to Korfar’s farm and then we cleared the whole place as well as captured few quilboar prisoners.
After the investigation form the grunts it was revelaed that some of the Quilboar followed some sort of the Warlord. But they were somehow unable to reveal the name. All that grunts learned was that warlord was he. That he was known by title of „The Cunning One.” and that he was very feared.
Due to circumstances in which we’ve learned about this Quillboar warlord, we’ve decided to call him Mug the Cunning.
Southfury Farmers militia organized further raids to Quilboar Krauls around Korfar’s farm in search for answers. Much to an irony quilboars understanding our tounge caught up the name of Mug and even started to refer to the Warlord by that name as well. Suffice to say, this didn’t yield any further details and the case was on hold until more resources could be spared on Soutfury Region.
But, this wasn’t over. Nine more attacks followed from this time. Each brutal and horrible. But as we write this announcement to you, it is November Nineteenth.
The eleventh attack took place. The night between Eighteenth and Nineteenth a fire was spotted on farm of Widow Argma. Argma was widow with two young children and because of that she was assigned three Milita guards consisted from her own friends or friends of her dead husband.
The group of ten Southfury Militia was also dispatched to deal with the fire or any threat which might have caused it. As one of the survivors describes:
„As we headed closer to the farm. We heard screams, orcish and trollish screams. And the smell of buring flesh. And soon the squaks followed, from far. They as if… laughed at the scene. As we drew closer we saw. The whole farm building was enveloped in thorns, and these thorns were on fire. Inside we were hearing the screams of the Widow, and others…
Then we saw them. The group of nine quilboars, all armored in some sort of very durable metal, perhaps mithril. As soon as they saw us their leader screamed. These quilboars, they formed ranks. We… knew that they were organized and disciplined. But, they were so swift. They surrounded us and started to stab others who were in front of me, they tried to fight back. Zen’kaj even killed one with a pitchfork into the skull, but they killed him. They killed all, except the two of us… I was wounded and then… I woke up, here.”
After the night ended, we’ve sent the group twenty of militants along with five grunts. What we found was house burned to crisps. Only stone foundations remained as well as skeleton of Quilboar thorns. There were no bodies of militants or dead quilboar to be found. Pigs were also gone. There were no leading tracks to be found. The only corpses which were found were the ones of the Widow, her children and the three militia guards which were meant to protect her.
The second survior’s words give some light on the motives of the Quilboar.
„I was noked out colt at de beginning of da battla. Den I wake up, colt around, feel no clotes and see da piggamons standing before me. I turn ma head and see Hemur(note: The first survivor.). Den da piggman lookah at ma and sais. Deliveh da message that da raids won’t end till all of boar loa spawns are free. Den remember notin aside from waking up here.”
The two survivors were found four kilometers from the Argma’s farm. The investigation is still in effect. But that is clear that the Quilboars under Mug have motives related in freeing what we believe are Pigs. Which are considered by them to be children of their god, Agamaggan.
Now you all might wonder why the Southfury Pig Farmers went this far to place this extensive report on the Noticeboard. That is because these attacks will continiue if nothing is done. The Horde doesn’t have resources to care about the Southfury threats unless it becomes a large one. What we’ve seen that is what the raids indicate. Mug and his Quilboars have declared the war on us. With the today raid. The eleven farms were lost to them. With casualties of sixty-one people! What previous night and the all raids have shown us is that they are disciplined. Can form organized unit and are well-equiped!
I call all units, adventurers of the Horde, warbands or else to help us deal with the problem! The Southfury region is at stake! Those who wish to visit Southfury or pass the region without intention of fighting should avoid it. As long as Mug the Cunning ans his Razormane followers raid. None of us will be safe.
That is all, the citizens, the adventurers and the warbands. Let us hope that this threat will be dealt with, and no more lives are lost.
For the Horde,
Southfury Farmers and Southfury Militia Representative Helkar.
OOC Info:
This piece of report which you had a chance to read was about the thread of the Quilboar Warlord in Durotar. His deeds were now announced by my Ogre Crier for two days in a row. With new information about them comming each day.
The purpose of this is to create a roleplay events in which everyone be it a guild or individual can take part in. It was inspired by my Ogre Crier character which announced all these news to the public in Valley of Honor. But what if these were real? Rather than spoken tibids to fill-up the purpose of the Crier?
What if the thread of organized Quilboars was real and what if the roleplayers could go out in the world and encounter them, even fight with them?
That is why from now on the new reports about the case will come to Orgrimmar and other places close to the Durotar so that the Roleplayers can see that the world is somewhat alive and breathing, struggling with its own things.
There is also another thing. I need YOUR help. I need somone who can become NPC Quilboar and help me or from his/her own initiative make random event of their own in Durotar. I would also like to encourage the other guilds to play with the idea and engage with the plotline and the storyline themselves. If you are interested in more details about it, as well helping me out in NPCing and DMing as well or perhaps creating a plot relating to the whole situation of your own. Feel free to post it here!
This is a first project of such scale for me and I hope you can all provide a feedback as well as have fun roleplaying.
Note: If you spot any editing mistakes make sure to tell me. I will edit the text as it goes because in such a wall of texts there might be more than few mistakes.
