A brilliant, sickly flame rocketed skywards, high over the hilltops that surrounded the old Legion foothold at the mouth of Shadoowmoon Valley. The cacophony of fel iron hammers against the battered remains of demonic engines rose to new, terrible heights, and each strike of the demons' hammers sent a mournful wail across the lifeless wastes below.
When Thane Khazgrim, commanding officer of the penal unit garrisoning Wildhammer Stronghold, learned that the latest supply wagon of food and medical supplies had not arrived on time, he dispatched the knights of the Order and the convicts under their wing to investigate.
Never did he imagine that the cause for that delay would be an army of demonic veterans, not least those that he had believed to be confined to distant, well-defended footholds in Nagrand and Zangarmarsh. Where were the Illidari to warn of their advance? Where were their allies and scouts throughout Terrokar Forest?
These were questions to be asked another time, another day. For now, the shadow of Kharduum had fallen upon the valley...
The first part of the Order’s campaign in Outland kicked off fully last night with our first fight against a demonic foe! Previously believed to be a distant and insignificant threat, Wildhammer Stronghold now founds itself under threat, with no land route back to Terrokar Forest.
Our recruitment remains open for now, though recent interest in the guild is bringing us close to our ‘soft cap’ on members.
