Sleep and concentration are elusive goals, in part due to what has already been called “the radiant song”. My ears are taken with a ringing noise, with intermittent calls for my name. “Theodore…” The voice is almost pleading.
This alone was disruptive enough. However, in addition, I have been granted visions of past events pertaining my life, either in my dreams or as fleeting vestiges during the day. On one day, I may witness pivotal moments not associated with old wounds. For instance, I have already seen glimpses of my time in Tyr’s Hand as a child, learning to revere the Light. In that same vein, I saw yesterday, bright in blue and gold, my anointment as a paladin.

In the coming days, I will seek out others in the same condition, in an effort to understand and plan next steps. I can only hope that the past years gave me new wisdom, so that, at least, old mistakes are not repeated.
- Excerpt from Theodore Varill’s personal journal.
In the last week, pamphlets were published both in major Alliance newspapers and in bulletins held by neutral organizations, such as the Argent Crusade, the Earthen Ring and the Cenarion Circle. The document, signed by Theodore Varill, called for a meeting in Pandaria for those that had heard the “radiant song”, in order to “exchange experiences” and, “perhaps, set a course of action”.
Greetings, folks. With The War Within’s impending launch in August 26th, I would like to drum up enthusiasm for RP its themes. In general, most roleplay is divorced from the expansion’s premises and primary locations and that is fine. For a while, I have stayed away myself from anything too current.
However, from what I have read and seen, I think TWW’s zones and narratives have a lot to offer in terms of character development. The Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall and Azj-Kahet all look pretty cool, and the idea of fighting underground, sometimes in a desperate struggle, can be a powerful motivator.
As such, I would like to begin with a minor hook for interested players and characters: the Radiant’s Song and its visions. Is your character hearing it? What does it say? How did they affect them? Do they plan on acting on it? In short, it’s an open discussion table/therapy session, so those likeminded can gather and exchange experiences. Obviously, we don’t know IC about the new continent and zones yet, but I figured it would be a fun start.
When: August 6th, 6:30 PM server time.
Where: Sri-La Village, Jade Forest, Pandaria.
War Mode and Chromie Time off.
If you have any questions, or are similarly excited about the expansion’s RP potential and would like to talk more, feel free to reach me out in-game or through Discord (.melarius).
Thank you and see you next week!
