Shadow of Lordaeron
“They think us so easily defeated. They think us so easily destroyed. They think that we are weak and that we are gone. They think that these Plaguelands can be cleansed of the blessing of undeath bestowed upon them, of the plague and bile spewed across it. They are wrong. The Cult of the Damned shall rally once again. We are the Scourge and we will not be so easily beaten or broken. Let them think we are defeated or injured, Lordaeron will soon be ours once again.”
Overview of Guild:
The Shadow of Lordaeron represents a coalition of cultists and necromancers led by the remnants of the Cult of the Damned’s leadership. This group operates as a discreet faction within the larger Cult of the Damned, with its activities spanning from Northern Lordaeron to the Kingdom of Stormwind. These necromancers and cultists are dedicated to realizing the core beliefs and aspirations of the Cult of the Damned: the establishment of a world engulfed in death and the bestowal of undeath, granting immortality to those deemed worthy.
As servants of the Scourge, this faction predominantly operates covertly, with some members blending into the ordinary populace while others openly assault newly restored settlements or unleash the Scourge’s fury upon the Argent Crusade and the remnants of the Scarlet Crusade. Ultimately, their goal is to bring death’s embrace to the land and create a paradise of undeath for those who are willing to serve.
Leadership and Council:
Leadership and Council:
The Council is composed of a select number of high-level cultists, specifically chosen for their dedication, service, and leadership abilities within the Cult. These members aid in leading what remains of the Cult of the Damned within the Plaguelands, working to ensure the Cult’s growth, as well as the success of Scourge operations in the region. Experts in their fields of Necromancy, Shadowmancy, and Fleshcraft, each member of the Council is deadly and prepared to unleash the wrath of the Cult of the Damned.

Roleplay Expectations:
The Shadow of Lordaeron makes sure that our roleplay guidelines/expectations are known to the public and enforced for all members of the guild, regardless of rank.
- Guild members are required to wear the guild-provided uniform for certain events. This is to allow the “theme” of the Cult of the Damned to surface more, as well as provide anonymity in certain scenarios (battles, certain operations, ceremonies, etc).
- Guild members are required and expected to adhere to general community policies. Ie. No trolling, no metagaming, treating everyone with respect, adhering to general TOS and community guidelines, etc.
- Members are expected to communicate respectfully with other members of the rp community when engaging in rp, especially combat. This is to ensure fair, but reasonable, conclusions can be made for interactions so that both writers feel satisfied and not go against their character’s integrity.
- Any and all drama is to be left at the door when joining the guild, if a member engages in “drama-mongering” or trying to stir up situations that may result in situations where members may be affected, leadership will address it with people involved and go from there. If a pattern is noted, a member may be kicked/banned.
Guild Roleplay Systems:
The Graveyard System:
What is a Necromancer without corpses to dig up and raise into undeath? Simply a shadow mage. The Graveyard System, using the TRP:3 Extended Addon, is in use for the Shadow of Lordaeron starting from today. There are stashes of corpses hidden around the Western Plaguelands, with some having different levels of quality. These levels of quality will follow the system that World of Warcraft has in place.
This is a system meant to fuel both magical rp, practice, and build up world rp in the area. The quality of these corpses is purely RNG on discovering locations. However, Hearthglen, Sorrow Hill, and eventually Andorhal will all become higher-level corpse areas. These are designed to be small events as well as fuel casual RP.
Cultists may be able to carry 2-4 corpses at a time, depending on their physical prowess. For longer excursions, it is advised cultists branch out into groups, with Meat Wagons being used to help carry corpses. Meat Wagons can carry up to forty corpses at a time.
Storylines and Events:
Current Storyline:
Hearing the Call of the Harvester, new Acolytes and Neophytes have begun to be trained. With training beginning, the Cult attempts to shore up the defenses around Care Darrow in order to protect Scholomance and create a bastion for operations to come from. Whispers from foreign shores hint at the lost necropolis of Thalramas: The Necrotic Shadow. The Cult has begun its final steps in ensuring it can rise up again and all of Lordaeron will be cloaked in the shadow of death.
Future Storylines:
The Cult of the Damned, with Thalramas now positioned over the Plaguelands of Lordaeron, has begun a series of massive campaigns within the shadows in the Eastern Kingdoms! Cultists have managed to enter Stormwind City in disguise, yet some have been bold enough to be seen within the criminal underworld of by disgruntled laborers, attempting to recruit. A series of sabotage campaigns are now beginning!
