Chapter 3
World Update
Allied Forces continue to use Binan Village as a base of operations in Kun-Lai province, Pandaria, while they forge ahead with their investigations into the new plague that seems to be afflicting many, and the unyielding crops and fields of the area.
Recently, an armed party went into the Ancient Passage to seek out those undead that were spotted there a few days ago. Upon entering the dark, winding cavern, the undead Pandaren, Yaungol, Jinyu and Hozen could once again be seen. This first wave was quickly dealth with, and the party managed to move on.
What was discovered next was surprising: a mining operation of sorts, with undead and infected locals chipping away at a strange, luminous ore in an open part of the Passage, with ruins on the walls and a large ceremonial circle in the center. A group of Cultists were chanting in a tongue known to none in the party, lead, seemingly, by a taller cloaked figure in the center. Dark magics coalesced and flowed throughout the room, reaching the Cultists, undead and infected and bouncing off the ore on the walls.
It must be noted that the cultists had also created a portal, which seemed to lead to the frozen lands of Northrend: snow and ice were visible, and a shattered sky loomed above, from what could be observed past the event horizon.
The partly engaged the cultists and undead, and a fierce battle ensued. Many cultists and undead were slain, yet some retreated through the portal. Only light casualties were reported from the allied forces party, with no fatalities. They have now returned to Binan Village.
The Year of the Scourge team have decided not to host any of our events for the next week, so as not to interfere with the wonderfully organized Tournament of Ages. Instead, you may see us wandering around the Tournament Grounds. Feel free to approach us!
