[PCU] [A] The Holy Order of Lordain

At Death's Door

Back | Next
Beneath the towering, vicious spikes of Blade's Edge Mountains, the Order and its followers set about destroying the third and final portal belonging to the Hand of Kharduum. Arriving at Sylvanaar, they were told of their task by Commander Kalarneth: their quarry lay in the valley known as Death's Door, like the maw of a great beast entombed within the mountainside. So naturally fortified was the place that the sentinels at Sylvanaar and their Cenarion allies at the Evergrove to the north could only hope to contain the demons at the winding tunnels that led out of the gulch.

By the time the Order arrived, however, the demons had slipped the net. A Cenarion druid by the name of Sanseviel had discovered, on his patrols of the mountains, that a demonic forge camp on the eastern edge of the mountains had become active once more, and alongside the Order set out to vanquish the demons' latest move.

To their surprise, the demon hunter Terenrith, who had spoken to affirm their worth at Honour Hold and who had guided members of the Order onto the path of reforging a long-shattered demonslaying blade, joined them there. While the Order defeated the Eredar forgemaster, Terenrith discovered the means to reverse the demons' teleportation pads, and by the next day the mortal forces in Blade's Edge had turned the tide on the Hand of Kharduum.

The fel magics of the teleporter reversed, the Cenarion wardens and the elven sentinels stormed into Death's Door, whilst the Order charged the portal themselves. Therein, they engaged the portal keep, an inquisitor by the name of Izir'duum, in a delicate battle, and were ultimately forced to turn their blades upon Terenrith as the inquisitor harnassed the Illidari's demonic nature to his advantage.

Ultimately, the vanquished the demonic portal keeper and returned to Outland alongside Terenrith, who later confessed he had not been entirely truthful with his guidance. The demonbane sword that John Librus had discovered on the road to Terrokar more than a month prior had once belonging to Terenrith, who had withheld the final reagent needed to reforge the blade until he was sure that it would fall into the right hands.

Thus the Lexicon Demonica passed into the hands of the Holy Order, where it would meet its end... eventually. For now, the unholy tome contained a valuable enchantment, one that the blacksmith David Wayne had uttered to turn a masterwork admantite blade into a powerful demon-slaying weapon. All that remained was to reforge the blade, to bathe it in the fiery blood of demonkind, and to face the master and commander of the Hand of Kharduum in battle.

Now more than ever, the Order was prepared to vanquish the pit commander. In closing the final portal, they had acquired the most deadly tool that a demonslayer could hope for: the true name of their foe.

In the far reaches of Netherstorm, Lord Gorridon awaited the arrival of the Order of Lordain...

The Order is just a day away from the climax of their 6-week long campaign in Outland, and less than a week away from their return to Stormwind! Recruitment remains open, and there'll be many great opportunities to join the Order as it looks forward to the high-action campaigns which will follow!
