Doubt and Fear, no match for Lightâs ChampionsâŚ

The Order of Oronaar was tonight sent on a specialised mission direct from the Vindicaar to retrieve the body of an arcanist who had disappeared a week prior, somewhere in the Dread Wastes of Pandaria.
Taking a small but select team, Praetor Phaidros arrived via pre-arranged portal transport with vindicators Hartuum, AâDuun and Nuaadum and the ageing Soulbinder Lazaares. Not daring to tarry, they retrieved Alliance-sent gryphon to take them to the arcanistâs last known location; an ancient tree infused with mantid amber, mysteriously abandoned.
Inside they found the arcanistâs staff, confirming her presence, and the Soulbinder discovered the interior to be filled with the spirits of mantid that had passed. Deeper within the tree the team came across the remnants of a more recent security system put in place by the Mogu, none of whom seemed to remain. After spending some time disabling the complex workings of said system, the Order managed to open the doors to the inner chamber, finding the missing arcanist within.
Delighted by her rescue but irritated that it had come after a whole seven days, Ylaanai of the Army of Light explained that the lockdown had resulted in a disabling of her magical abilities. Thusly she had not been able to escape or complete her task: releasing an artifact from within a gigantic amber prison.
Wielding the Light, however, rather than the arcane, the Order agreed to help her. Combining their strengths they sapped the amberâs protections and accidentally set loose a forgotten paragon of the mantid. Turned mad by his prolonged imprisonment he attacked the gathered Draenei but was no match for their strength. After a close and intense fight, he was brought down without too much in the way of collateral damage, leaving behind a purple gemstone: the relic Ylaanai sought to claim.
Now with her powers restored, the arcanist was more than happy to return the Order to the Exodarâs halls, exchanging sharp words with an old âfriendâ in the form of Crystalbearer Arcaraan before departing back to the Vindicaar, crystal in hand. Another victory for the Order of Oronaar.
But what have they unintentionally unleashed?
Big thanks to Lunaaria who organized this spectacular event which will hopefully be the first of many from her brilliant mind!

Tonight the Order of Oronaar pursued the track of demons that assaulted Forest Song to a barrow den and the Elven ruins underneath from whence they came.
Along the way, they were joined by unlikely allies: The Moonlight Melody whose Shaldorei rescued a kinswoman of theirs the night before and who sought the Orderâs aid to cleanse a moonwell, and the Dirge of Teldrassil who followed the very tracks of the Nightborne down the barrow.
The group defeated the necrotic abomination guarding the entrance to the hidden ruins and ventured deeper down the halls, making their way over pools of corrupted blood and last-resort traps raised by the demonic inhabitants.
At the entrance of the hidden underground ruins, the group met a pair of fel-fallen druids, one of which the Dirge of Teldrassil has been eager to hunt down and bring to justice and one already fought by the Moonlight Melody, cast off a cliff presumed dead. The druids delayed the groupâs approach enough for their Eredar master to finish his binding ritual of an ancient elven artifact, then disappeared into the shadows.
The Eredar, aided by his warlock underlings, fought the group and even twisted one of their own demon hunters against them, before the combined might of the adventurers vanquished him. The group emerged from the ruins with the keystone in hand, though what they would do with the corrupted artifact is yet to unfold.
It was a pleasure to DM for the three guilds tonight, and I hope they all enjoyed the event. It was the culmination of a lead-up from yesterday when each guild was introduced to the situation and story at hand (and learned snippets of the greater picture). I was really happy to see 25 unique characters interacting with the dungeon and the story within, and am looking forward to the finale.
Shout out to the other PCU guilds that participated:
The Moonlight Melody who bring Nightborne RP to life and lighten each event with their characters:
And the Dirge of Teldrassil true to the fate of the Night Elves and maintaining an atmosphere of power and uncertainty in their thirst for vengeance:

After the Highborne artifact was cleansed from demonic taint the Order accompanied the Nightborne of the Moonlight Melody and the Night Elves of the Dirge of Teldrassil to Winterspring, to aid in freeing the spirits still trapped there. To the surprise of some the artifact could be used without issue and the trapped souls were finally free to rest (or, more accurately, get sucked into the maw).
With the Order being back in Civilization now is the perfect time to join up, as next week we will depart to Northrend for another struggle [PCU/Conflict RP] Cold Front: Grizzly Hills (09/06 - 15/06) .

After their return from the North, the Order of Oronaar ventured to Auchindoun to give final farewell to two of their fallen, and then to cremate and lay them to rest.
While they gave their rites to their bladesmaster, the unthinkable happened and the shadows coalesced around the fallen Soulbinder, jerking her back into life. After returning her to Shattrath, the order faced an eerie tale of souls separated from bodies, unexpected aid from an orc shaman and disturbance in the realm of the dead.
Glad to start some introduction / involvement for the Oronaari with the below storyline with Kump! And awesome roleplay with Kump as dead people. Would 10/10 die again.

They fiercely defended Cathedral Square when others dare not.
After taking it a bit easy following the return from the campaign in the Grizzly Hills, the Order is now spinning up again. Today will be another trip to Outland to hunt down a Gronn to supply our Soulbinder with the ingredients for a ritual to contact the spirit of a long-passed Artificer. But before we get to the ritual we will be at the great draenei gathering this sunday and monday!
If you want to get involved, now is the best time.

Contrary to my forum blunders, I do not think these guys are Grim Gest. They are however nice for not killing me those few times.

After chasing down an Orc who had captured two members of the Order and creating void-doppelgangers of his prisoners the Luminous Order has now returned to the Exodar for some momentary rest and recuperation.
The best time to seek us out and tag along for our next exciting adventure that is to start soon!

Had the pleasure of attending a draenic initiation ceremony before these guys left Feathermoon. It was a joy to see you around albeit briefly. Extra kudos to Arcaraan and Lunaaria who were lovely to interact with. Best wishes for your next luminous adventures!

I was looking for a Draenei guild to feel homely in for quite some time now.
After a first evening of RP with this lot and some light-hearted games to make a long travel more endurable I can safely say that Erebaal has found a new home now! That night gave me back a feeling of RP I didnât have in ages⌠This innocence. Embarking on a journey toward destiny unknown. Just me on my character, no worries besides trying to fit in ICly.
Iâd definitely recommend the Order to any righteous Draenei out there! (Iâm serious, please join⌠Raise that non Lightforged quota! HelpâŚ)
