Prelude to the Fifth War Chapter 1

WAR! The false peace after the fourth war is at a end. There are heroes on both sides of the conflict. In a stunning move, Former members of the Alliance Vanguard has formed a spliter group called, “Warriors of the Eclipse” and declared war on “The Blademasters” on the 1st of October, year 2024. Both sides mobilized. Both sides bloodied but determined. The conflict continues on with no end in sight. Both sides look to bolster their forces by treaty or old oaths. A quiet town is in the crosshairs of both sides to gain a strategic advantage in the conflict. Messages sent by air, sea, land, and portal to various leaders asking for aid in the war…The war continues…

(TLDR) The Blademasters and Warriors of the Eclipse welcomes guilds on both sides to a wpvp/rp battle around Dec 14th. If you are more into RP than pvp then we welcome rpers to create their stories and events around this. Despite our differences we are united in making Emerald Dream the server it deserves to be.

The drums of war sound again. The Siege of Fenris keep begins Dec 14th. Refugees from Hillsbrad Foothills sought hearth in Fenris keep and refuse to abandon another home. We fight for our right to live. Remember South Shore! The Horde will fall to Alliance steel!

Rules are subject to minor changes, but this has been agreed upon by both sides.

Rule 1. battle ressing is allow but not body ressing if you are dead, you are dead.
Rule 2. potions and items are allowed.
Rule 3. fights over when the opposing side is dead.
Rule 4. Both raids will match each other’s strength in the spirit of fairness. There will be the same number of healers and dps on both sides.

The Blademasters will see the Hillsbrad Foothills refugees as combatants and will be put to the sword if they do not evacuate Fenris Keep. There will be no quarter. Blademasters will not use our supplies to feed them or to house them. We will however spare their lives and let them leave in peace if Warriors of the Eclipse agrees to an armistice and forfeits Fenris Keep to the Horde.

Kaidon Shamzakel paced back and forth in the Blademasters’ headquarters watching the initiates being armed and trained by his veterans for the upcoming battle for Fenris Isle. “I’m not as fast as I used to be”, he thought to himself as he was rubbing his hand. Fresh in his mind how he was imprisoned in the stockades for the entirety of the dragon isles campaign by the Alliance Vanguard and the Guard. Shamzakel let out a smile with the irony donning on him that this new conflict is being fought by former members of the vanguard. Shamzakel suddenly paused and looked over to his second in command, Ultyr. “Has the messages been sent to the honorary blademasters?”, Shamzakel asked without giving Ultyr a glance. “Yes Kaidon, we are waiting their response,” replied back Ultyr with pride.

A cloaked figure was moving about through out Blademasters’ headquarters searching for the Kaidon to deliver important news. “This is the last chamber left.”, thought the cloaked figure as he opened the door. Relief at last as he saw the Kaidon.”Kaidon! I have important news regarding the dwarves.”, the cloaked figure said. Kaidon Shamzakel looked up from the maps, surrounded by his councilors. He looked at the insignia and smirked as he recognized it as a Blademaster reaper, a unit for scouting and assassinations. “Well, we got a war going on. Out with it Blademaster!”, responded Shamzakel with a tone of light jest underlined with worry of the news to come. The Blademaster reaper bowed and responded, “ Kaidon, we are seeing messengers sent to Clan Battlehammer. We have killed one of the messengers and the message speaks of bringing them into the conflict.” Shamzakel looked back at the maps deep in thought. “Thank you reaper carry out your duties until further orders.”, Shamzakel said as he was placing a small alliance flag on the map near fenris isles. The Blademaster reaper bowed and walked away to his duties. “Here I thought we would end this conflict by December.”, Chuckled Shamzakel to his councilors. The councilors all laughed as they knew the conflict was expanding with no end in sight. “More blood for our swords Kaidon!”, yelled a councilor with excitement. Shamzakel nodded with a smile.

TLDR clan battlehammer may join the war

Callahan stands over a bloodied and crumpled note and flattens it over a worn table. Scout Youngbeard who brought it in speaks up. “Weh found this among a mangled body on the Thandol Span, he had all his gold, all possessions. so it wasn’t tha work o bandits.”

The note was cleanly torn along the top, the note is worn, but below the tear it says:
“we eagerly await your response”
-Belakore of the Warriors of the Eclipse

Callahan closed his eyes for just a moment in thought. " I wish I was able to see the top of that letter, but I think we can fill in tha blanks" “I fear the rumblings of tensions between a group of” he paused trying to remember “…blademenders…? i kinnae remember what they call themselves.” “…and These Warriors of the Eclipse might be expandin.” He continued, “weh need ta make sure this is squashed quick like so this doesn’t disrupt any trade routes.”

“Youngbeard, let the king regent know that I’m taking a scouting party to the Stormpike Clan to see wha they know about this. and see if we kin trade some kegs of ale”

((looking forward to some old school Emerald Dream PvP, see you then!))

“Kaidon a message from the Soulshatter Clan, offering aid to our cause.”, a councilor said to Shamzakel after bowing. “Ah the Soulshatter Clan. I thought they were hunted into extinction. Years ago I would have refused their aid, but we aren’t afforded such luxuries now”, Shamzakel responded with amusement. He grabbed a quill and wrote on parchment. “Zealot Dokraga, give this message to the Soulshatter Clan messenger and make sure he isn’t harassed by our brothers and sisters.”, Shamzakel said as handed the parchment. Zealot Dokraga took the message and bowed before turning around and walked with purpose to the messenger. “Do you think it wise to be allied with them Kaidon?”, asked the councilor. “I am sure they have something to gain. No one really knows when you deal with a secretive group like them. My focus is ending this conflict as soon as possible. It’s a price I am willing to pay.”, responded Shamzakel. The councilor bowed again before responding “Kaidon”.

Greetings Dragrosh,

It is a surprise to see a messenger from your clan offering support. I am glad you and your clan survived the fourth war armistice and alliance oppression. I know you don’t offer your warriors to the Blademasters’ conflict out of kindness. I don’t know what you or your clan is up to. However due to the circumstances presented I will happily take up your offer.

Strength and honor.
Kaidon Shamzakel
