Blossom Wilts finds herself in possession of the Excerpt of the Accursed Almanac, Part II, stolen from itâs previous owner.
Excerpt of the Accursed Almanac, Part II is missing. Taken from right under the Red Venturerâs noses.
Muzhao Thundergut returns to them beaten and bloody after his run in with Loyalists, claiming that it was they who snuck off with the almanac, that heâd been unable to prevent it nor retrieve it.
During one of the Silverpine skirmishes, he come to the aid of Grittlebone during a tentative and incredibly brief truce, so has no doubt traded in that goodwill to be rewarded with being allowed to keep living.The Red Venturers have no idea who specifically has it; or what will be done. Their own transcripting is all they have left; but any ability to identify and decipher more from it is gone.
Perhaps they can use what they have to find what needs be found before the Loyalists can.
Perhaps they have the head start they needed.
The dying embers of the blacksmith backlit the sordid exchange taking place. Arnallâs glowing, undying eyes glared out from his helmâs visor as the relic shifted hands anew.
The broken remnants of the crown were promptly slid from view, burrowed deep into the uncharted depths of Royâs satchel.
Roy Murray now holds the crownâs second right piece.

Some days ago, Vashava Nethersong came back into possession of a Crimson Eye, in Feralas.
âYou are a warrior born.â
Familiar words clawed their way out of the emotionless limbo that Xotrios Drakâashâs consciousness had become. The Darkfallen stopped his run near a pool of water in the middle of a small glade, where the constrictive, thorned Gilnean woods seemed to open all around.
He looked around with crimson, narrowed eyes, focusing his senses and letting himself a moment of evaluation of his sorroundings. The treeâs positions were like an amphitheatre, in the centre of which the pool of water was made silvery like a shining mirror by moonlight.
The once-proud Thalassian knight grimaced, his figure completely covered in a deep black cloak with strands of perfectly preserved silver hair falling on his torso from under the hood.
From not too far away, howling spirits yelled in pain, a mocking omen of their impending approach
âYou are a warrior born, my child⌠like your father before you. He would be so, so proud of what you have become.â
His memories⌠once again, tormenting him. Hissed promises of a proud mother, a witch, a noble woman of oldâŚCarrying with them such burning authority and conviction to shape the life of her child the way she desired.
Xotriosâs ever-calm expression changed from a twisted grimace to a grim sad smile, closing his eyes to invoke all his power, the serpentine sword Draukhâain in his hand.
âCome at meâŚso that you can once again taste defeat, oh miserable spiritsâ.
And the spirits came
Three ghostly human figures, pale like moonlight and wearing transparent clothes, their visage twisted by death and the spell binding them to his planeâŚthey leaped at the Knight, darting through the air.
With a single crescent-moon shaped slash of Draukhâain, Xotrios parted their insubstantial formsâŚhe let the magical sword fall on the ground with a loud -THUD-.
âTenfold times you improve my arts of BloodâŚno, maybe moreâŚI have studied you since the first time we met, I saw you in the hands of others like the treacherous lover you areâŚbut the heavens, fate, the Sun and the Moon brought you back to me, Hunger.â
The gem glowed bright crimson in its socket, an opened snake-like eye in the middle of the interwined serpents the guard of his sword was made of.
Xotrios turned his back to the glade, and began his slow march towards the Loyalistsâ camp.
-----With this, Sir Xotrios is once again keeper of the Stygian Hunger.-----

Sorry it took me so long to do this update, Mors.
Vallerianne Sykethen had presented their piece of the tome during a meeting with other heads of the Saurfang Legion. A suggestion to search for more in areas occupied by the Argent Crusade was made.
After the book was stolen from their possession, this was all they could go onâŚ
So, that is what had to happen. A small group of them trawled through the many books, scrolls and even scrap bits of crumpled paper within Hearthglen; earning no answers for their efforts.
It was during this when they realised something was present⌠a ghostly echo telling them to find a site of an old battle⌠a town that fell⌠Darrowshire.
There, hidden behind the old brickwork of an old fireplace was the book. It was difficult to tell how long ago, or perhaps how recently, this tome was hidden there. If it was prior to the townâs fall, it had survived the flames⌠and if it was after⌠further questions upon further questions.
An aged ledger telling the tragic rise and fall of a Sir Aurael Firmum. His downfall? A humble journey into the mountains of Eastweald, and what he saw or suffered was not within the scripture, though he mad ramblings that would come later certainly were.
This book returned to Orgrimmar with the orc mage Takgair, with intention to pass it on to Khelerya Eleneth for further study as per her scholarly interests.
I have set up this discord for general evil / Void RP but it hosts a lot of the people interested in the Cosmic Crown plot as well
