4 Scores, 30 beers, and a few weed cart hits ago existed the greatest drama performance ever devised. It began in 8.1.5 with ED’s greatest guild. A cat who never spoke, a rogue who was a turn coat to the elves, a warlock playing 4d chess, and a hunter with more ambitions then Sire Denathrius. They were originally out to have fun and act evil, well, as evil as pixels can be. Then came the moment everything changed. The rivalry between the northern elves and this small band began. Quickly they acted, insisting upon removing the elves. Purged in fire, of course. The warlock and hunter, long time friends from the days of the burning Legion had met a rogue. This elven rogue that wielded shadow energies joined their merry band and spied on the northern elves.
This begins chapter 2, the fall of the elves. Soon another merry band of elves arose, the elves of the void. They teamed up to destroy the Northern elves, not even allowing them to leave their city. In time, very, very short time, the northern elves had destroyed each other and group forever lost to time.
Successful, Chapter 3 begins, The Nazjatar War. The group grew… Hungry for more, the elf that spied joined band permanently and is rumored to still be with the rest of the band to this day. They had set upon a new target, The Ashen Vale. Upon the release of 8.2.0, Nazjatar, it was time to strike! War was declared and hell was let loose. Even lesser folk caught in the crossfire were killed, none were spared the torment of the endless battle. There was even an elf whom had earned the nickname “Faded” and a worgen, who was hounded into oblivion. There was but 1 cure, Turn off Warmode. Which no one seemed to be able to do or point out.
This leads to chapter 4, Traitors Among Us. A beefy boy was setting the bar for other meat sticks to become traitors. This lead to propaganda being spread, especially from the one who makes the time magazines. He was hunted, trialed, and unfortunately not convicted. The outcome still worked though. It gave the merry of band of outcasts some amount of power. There was also a meaning goblin but we don’t care about her enough to put in this story. This however lead to a grand warfront battle.
Chapter 5, the other war. There was the warfront battle of Redridge, glorious back and forth until the castle was taken by the alliance. Nothing much else said but it relates to Chapter 4, just in the wrong order to confuse people. It’s how we found out there was a traitor at all!
Chapter 6, The final straw. Hired by alliance goons, the merry band of misfits gathered up 4 mages and found the guild master of ruin and attracted him to a story time event. This lead to some pissed off people, happy alliance, and big money profits. It was the final straw for many, but for the band, it was hilarious and well worth it.
There is much else to be put around here, like the tournaments, the Circle of Blood, certain “pod” masters, and whatever else remained or wasn’t important enough to be outright stated.
Some may miss what ED once was, others not so much, and some, want the BFA ways back, or before them, or enjoy it after, who knows! What I know, is that this story took some time and effort and a lot of dms.
