:octopus: Brides of Lycanthoth :wolf:

Part 5: Shadows Gather

Tues Feb 11th

Redmane told the pack to meet at Roland’s Doom, known as the capital or headquarters of the Nightbane. Packleader Marus and his pack of Shadowstalkers live there, but tonight the area outside the cave was host to many more nightbane than that. Almost as if multiple packs, like our own, were called to gather.

The pack found themselves among an increasing number of Nightbane, seeming to be coming out of the woodwork as the night went on. The three major packlords of the Nightbane were there with their packs represented by three or four, being Fenros and his Darkrunners, Nefaru and her Shadowweavers, and Packleader Marus and his Shadowstalkers. So too were representatives of lesser subpacks present, including a group of that looked like city spies, a pack of regal looking druids, and a bloody pack of berserkers. Packleader Marus had called them all here to go over everything the Nightbane Pack as a whole had learned about the Brides of Lycanthoth. At the eventual revelation by the Redmane Pack that this ‘Lycanthoth’ is, in fact, a dragon, the Nightbane scheduled a ‘dragon hunt’ for three days from now.

Yet Redmane seems less pleased than expected, confusing even his own pack at first, until he shares what weighs on his mind. Hints lead the pack to believe these Brides of Lycanthoth were innocent Mindless Ones among the Nightbane, preyed upon and corrupted. If he and his pack can think of a plan to kill just the dragon, perhaps these dozens of women can be saved. But if not, they will be mowed down in the siege to get to their master.

Raedolf has spoken of his pastime and masquerade as a monsterhunter, always with a bit of excitement at the prospect of killing a challenging fiend for the glory of the Alpha of Alphas. Now, as the pack heals from their nearly suicidal victory in Deadwind pass, which earned them the respect of their people, Raedolf plans a vacation to the island nation. Do you accompany the Packlord to the island, or stay back at the den? Kul Tiras couldn’t possibly be that dangerous for a worgen anyways… could it?

The Wolf Cult is recruiting! Still looking for a home for your worgen? Or are you a sad human, ready to become a worgen? Join the Wolf Cult for engaging lore inspired storylines, casual RP, and regular hunts and gatherings.

Event Updates

After a refreshing break, we are back in business with a plenty of events to choose from. Members attend at least one or two events of their choosing to be considered active.

News: Event Times, Voice Chat, and Movie Night
  • Event Times - Instead of 7 or 8, all events will now start at 7:30pm PST. We will still aim our end time to be 10pm.
  • Voice Chat! - We have started using voice chat more often for chatting about roleplay, goofing around, and even more immersion for campaign night.
  • Movie Night! - Now comfortable in voice chat, the new event times, and the discord screenshare feature, we will begin streaming werewolf movies every other Wednesday.

Monthly Event Schedule

  • Sundays will alternate between Lore Night (for applicants) and Purity of Essence (public worgen lore sermon).

  • Mondays will alternate between the Righteous Kill (guild only, aspirant requirement) and the Pack Hunt (worgen only, initiate requirement).

  • Tuesdays will remain our weekly campaign night, and we will be launching our new campaign, officially dubbed “Blood Runs Cold”.

  • Wednesdays will alternate between Movie Night, and Den Meeting. Both the month’s Den Meetings will be at the Redmane Den, in south Duskwood, and may include promotions as well as IC and OOC announcements. For the month’s two movie nights, one will be at Goldrinn’s Shrine ICly while we watch a werewolf flick in Discord, while the other will be at a Moonwell ICly while we watch a misc movie in discord.

  • Thursdays will now be the backup Campaign night instead of Fridays. This will be used to continue the campaign, or used for a Ritual of Balance or other cult ritual night on an as needed basis.

  • Fridays will be our “Night on the Town” night, when we attend Jac’s Boralus Bartending, Coldwall Collective’s blackmarket, or another server event.

Tuesday, March 31st - Ritual of Balance: Blightclaw (2/3)

Members of the pack reconvened at Godlrinn’s Shrine in Hyjal, where the pack hosts the Ritual of Balance for their most accomplished cultists. Tyffani, Lupyns, Wist, and Raedolf all took the moonpetal herbs, Wist drank from the goblet of Balance, and the vision began. The four drifted to sleep, entering the Dream, where reality matters little. Where the vision of tranquility revisited her childhood, the vision of balance brought the four to a memory in Wisteria’s adulthood, from the fall of Gilneas five years ago. They witnessed the woman - a human doctor - inspecting worgen corpses, only to be attacked and bitten by a dieing mindless worgen man from the pile. Not yet dead, but not all there either, missing pieces of its body and descended into madness.

Yet… If all you need do was watch… the vision would be simple. You must not only witness the memory… you must relive it.

Even as the pack thought they may be done in the dream, to return to the waking world, the pack found - to their horror - that the lupine horror had come back, his deathly image standing behind them not as he truly had been, but as Wisteria’s remembered him to be, thus towering above the dreamforms of the pack. Tyffani and Wist conjured flame and darkness upon the nightmare, which had its burning red eyes fixed upon the doctor, but even that could not stop it when the gargantuan terror barreled for Wist, intent on finishing the job. In that moment, as the pack managed to dodge but Wist stood frozen in fear, she relived the fear of that memory, nothing to do but scream as the towering nightmare descended upon her and began to maul her dreamform, waring at her consciousness with every blow. Raedolf called ghostwolves for aid, and Tyffani rained ice down upon it, causing the nightmare to erupt and dissolve as mist in the dream from whence it came.

Wisteria “Blightclaw” was left in shock, fear gripping her as the nightmare became all too real, but managed to come to, realizing it was but a dream. Soon after, the pack returned to the waking world, awakening in the den once again, happy to be awake. The sorceress had passed the vision of balance, with the aid of the pack, and must now recover and prepare for the third and final part of the ritual of balance, the vision of fury.

What is the Ritual of Balance?

The Ritual of Balance is a ritual of self reflection from worgen lore, first in the Gilneas starting zone, and explained in detail in Curse of the Worgen and Wolfheart. Here in the Wolf Cult, our members take the Ritual of Balance once they reach the rank of Cultist, to master themselves and - therefore - the beast within. This visits events from the character’s backstory in a series of visions, and is hosted as a campaign style event. To learn more about the Ritual of Balance, and our other lore inspired events, join the discord server linked below!

Saturday, April 4th - Ritual of Balance: Blightclaw (3/3)

Just as before, the pack gathered at the shrine of the father wolf in Hyjal, and prepared for the third and final trial of the Ritual of Balance; the Vision of Fury. Where the vision of Balance reminded her of the balance of good and bad in one’s life, the vision of fury forced the woman to confront her own spirit of untamed rage within her, aiming to conquer and harness it for good. The essence of rage was relentless, at first, as it burned with rage from the wrongs in her life. But even so, the light of the mother moon helped to remind the sorceress of Balance, that to every good there may be a bad, and to every bad there will be good. With the memory of tranquility and the knowledge of balance, she managed to defeat the spirit of her rage, and return to the waking world victorious.

Ritual of Balance went great tonight! Join us tomorrow night at Brightwood Grove in Duskwood for Lore Night, where Packlord Redmane retells the plight of the worgen to those interested in joining. Requirement for Applicants.

Lore Foundations

worgen from the source

– Lore –

The Wolf Cult was formed during the War of the Satyr by the first worgen, Alpha Prime. The Cult believes the worgen curse is a blessing, refer to it as “The Purity”, and eagerly share with willing initiates in Gilneas and Duskwood.

In Gilneas, Alpha Prime’s cult grew in number from the willing Gilneans initiated, and given the worgen curse. Meanwhile in Duskwood, another branch of his Wolf Cult grew doing the same, both in search of The Scythe of Elune, with which they hoped to summon the rest of the worgen Malfurion banished. In another effort, the Gilnean Wolf Cult grew in number, and eventually launched an attack on the city itself, aiming to bite as many as possible for use in a worgen army. With with involvement of the Kaldorei and Forsaken, the plot fell through, ultimately leading to the city’s destruction. Alpha Prime’s Wolf Cultists of Gilneas went on to fight the Forsaken in the form of the Bloodfang Pack, while the Nightbane Pack lives on in the shadows of Duskwood.

World of Warcraft :earth_americas:

Curse of the Worgen :tophat:

Dark Riders :horse:

Wolfheart :wolf:

Lord of his Pack :crown:

Chronicle :scroll:

Before the Storm :tornado:

– Roleplay –

Curse of the Worgen and Dark Riders reveal the Bloodfang and Nightbane packs respectively to be two sects of The Wolf Cult, people who have elected to become worgen and live in the wild, choosing it over city life. They see the worgen curse as a gift, even calling it “The Purity”, and choose the pack lifestyle over city dwelling. They relish the hunt, and use shapeshifting to walk the city unnoticed, looking for more recruits worthy of earning the bite for themselves.

Roleplaying your worgen character as a Wolf Cultist can be fun and unique compared to the everyday Afflicted Gilnean. This style adds many themes relative to the werewolf genre to the roleplay style, including the antihero, the masquerade, and the secret order. Warcraft comics such as Curse of the Worgen and Dark Riders, as well as several questlines, give support and provide sources for history, key locations, and even culture when it comes to the Wolf Cult.

– Guild –

With a foundation on lore, and the creativity of roleplay, the Wolf Cult easily serves as a guild theme for a worgen-only guild. Click here to see how lore and Wolf Cultist roleplay is adapted into guild structure.

The Purity :crescent_moon:

Our worgen embrace the worgen curse as a blessing, and are always ready to share it with new willing aspirants through rites of initiation. With the gift comes superhuman speed, strength, senses, and even resistance to undeath and curses, all far beyond the capabilities of a mere human. Earn the bite, and put it good use.

The Pack :wolf:

The Wolf Cult of Duskwood thrives on the worgen curse and all of its blessings. We run and hunt on all fours and feast as a pack, and protect the territory at all costs. Protect the territory, hunt with the pack, defend your family, and fight for your right to live wild.

The Masquerade :wine_glass:

Worgen form and the wild is our true form and true home, but modern time requires use of human form to walk through the human streets unseen. Keep your identity as a Wolf Cultist hidden from the human world, lest you break your masquerade.
