In Hillsbrad, a ceremony was held for two promotions and welcoming a new member into the Order. Ann-Marie Frojd ascended into the ranks as sir Treiller handed her the overcoat carrying the Order’s colours and the eagle of Lordaeron, as a symbol of her duty for their cause. In addition to miss Frojd’s ascension, both Viverc Zaramir and “Silverfish” climbed up within the rank system for their prowess in the field of Arcane, healing and gathering experience by serving the Order.
The speech that was given by sir Florian Treiller, the Commander of the Fist of the Order, at the ceremony:
As we all know, our duty binds us to this landscape, to these lands. Our duty for Lordaeron, for our people living in these ruined lands, despite the Banshee’s betrayal still quite fresh in our array of wounds.
Behind us, lies the jewel of Lordaeron: the Lordamere Lake. Next to it, the crown that the jewel belongs in. It stands blighted, our home. The home, beneath which we once dwelled, in our own peace, hidden from the world of the living in the sewers like diseased rats and maggots, undesired by the rest of the world.
Yet, the Forsaken now stand beneath the same sun as the other races of Azeroth. Therefore we finally share certain goals with our living allies in the Horde, but our priority, it lies here in these lands and in us. We are people, bound to the northern kingdoms, like our living kin. We are here, to reclaim, rebuild and unite. To make the soil bloom with life and give our people a roof to stay under.
This orchard we stand in at the very moment, may lie in ruins, but with effort it can be made prosperous once more. The very woman, who stands before the gaze of the Order, is someone who could certainly lift the dusk off this farm with her mere profession as a master of beverages. Her efforts in the Order, the civilian craftmanship and prowess in battle alike, have shown that she indeed is dedicated to our cause and we, the Order, would be honoured to keep her in our ranks for further triumphs.
By the decision of the Council, I, Sir Florian Treiller of Gilneas, bestow the overcoat with the symbol of our cause upon you, Ann-Marie Frojd of Dalaran. Bear the Eagle of Lordaeron with pride, for the wind beneath its wings is growing with every step we take.
