WARCRAFT
War of the Ancients
War of the Ancients
Premise
It's been years since the Second Great War with the Legion. As time passed the fragile peace that the Alliance and the Horde had reached is slowly crumbling away. Then a new threat emerged on the Horizon, the Lich King. As the wheels of fate are turning and everyone's preparing for the battle to the North, a subtle fracture forms within the very fabric of the world. Something has went incredibly wrong outside of everyone's notice. A whirlwind within time and space had formed, pulling forth heroes across Azeroth into it. As both factions finally noticed the disturbance in the world, be it from the guidance of dragons, Elune or the Ancestral Spirits, each sending people in attempt to study the situation and possibly contian it in the worst case scenario at least until they manage to deal with the Lich King.
What no body expected was for all those people send and drawn to the whirlwind of time and space to grow chaotic and suddenly expand, swallowing all who were send to explore the area and attempt to contian it. Some were thorn to shreds by the torrents of time and space, some aged within moments and turn to dust or some simply grown younger until they vanish into nothingness. Finally there are those who are thrown out on the other end of the error in reality. Alone and stranded at unknown location they have to explore and survive their new situation, all the while learn why this all happened.
So greetings fellow Warcraft fans. I assume if you've read so far into the Rp that some degree of interest sparks in your mind. This is going to be a RP set into the setting of Warcraft. I assume most are relatively familiar to some degree with World of Warcraft. Some basic knowledge for the setting of the world would be well met, but I will not require complete intimate knowledge with all aspects of the setting and hte world and all quests in the MMO. Hell I myself do not know all the WoW stuff. As you could read from the intro brief earlier, the RP will begin during the Warth of the Lich King expansion. Now, that mentioned the RP itself will actually take place 10,000 years earlier during the First Great War with the Burning Legion! We are returning back to the time of the Empire of the Night Elves, under the ruling of Queen Azshara! To the time before the Sundering that split the world into the continents known to all! Now with people the fates of whom shouldn't intertwine with the events of the past, the fate of the future is uncertain. But most important of all The Burning Crusade is about to arrive and this time around the only future possible might be oblivion!
With this explained so far and from the title of the RP, some of you might notice the fact that it's more or less the premise of the books who carry the same name Warcraft: War of the Ancients. Yes I'm drawing heavy inspiration and basing the RP on that, but this could be sort of considered a close AU RP. Many events from the books might repeat, some might not and will not happen at all.

- If you need to vanish for a while that is fine, just leave a message and tag me in it so I don't miss it by any chance. We will discuss it from there.
- Also no tags from the players within the IC posts. Tags will be used only by me in story updates posts and so forth. I’ve noticed people tend to not read the posts they aren’t tagged in if tags are being in use. I need everyone to read all the posts that happen. Tags with the story update posts are mostly to inform you that the story update is up.

- Under Extras in the CS write your favorite Warcraft character.
- All actions using skills must be a called action and will require a GM check to see what the outcome is.
- You must wait for at least 2 people to post before you can post again.
- This is not going to be a Romance focused RP, but just in case it happens...
- Keep Any Romance Pg-13, then fade to black.
- Do not copy paste pieces of other people's posts, even be it dialoge.
- Minimal 2 paragraphs per post.
- I will provide a Header for Posting. Use it, do not post whatever.
- In order to keep the RP going, this RP will be with posting requirement once per 7 days. After that, on day 8 I will kick you, be warned.

- People will die, be warned. They might be great heroes, but even great heroes die.
- Results from actions will be rolled by me, but the dice's the one deciding the future in the end.
Available Races
Alrighty below are the major races that would come to mind when thinking of Warcraft with some bonus ones added as the Dryads, Harpies and etc. Point being is if you want something else, run it by me and I will say you if it's possible.
- All game Races from Wow Wotlk ( except classic forsaken; Only a deathknight as possible undead)
- Dryads
- Half-elves( both night and blood variety)
- Goblins
- Harpy( Possible, but depends on the character.)
- Naga
- Vrykul
- Etc.
Available Classes
Below are some classes examples that can serve as a guide. There are more besides those, some might be a variation of the ones below or advanced version like how infiltrator and rogues sort of overlap. People's set of skills can be varied and diverse even between similar classes. Other examples of similar classes are knights and blade masters. Both are melee warriors, but yet difference comes from the way they fight and the types of weapons they use. There are other classes aside the WoW ones after all. Dig around the lore or ask me for something you thought up, I will tell you if it's okey.
- Warrior
- Archer/Marksman( depending if they use a bow or a gun)
- Mages( Arcane, fire, frost, other elements etc.)
- Tinkerer( think inventors who can create mechanical tools and or even puppets)
- Warlock( Mages who also use demonic magic and can summon demons to serve them)
- Priest( For example priests of hte Holy Light or priests of Elune)
- Paladin( always the holy light)
- Rogue( all manner of sneaky thieves, scouts, spies and assassins.)
- Hunter
- Ranger( Usually well versed in archery, stealth, nature and fighting in the wild.)
- Shaman
- Death Knight( Doubles also as a race the only undead type I'm going to be allowing.)
- Alchemist
- Warden( Only Night Elves.)
- Druid
- Demon Hunter( Mostly Night Elves and Blood Elves at this point)
- Runemaster( Only Dwarves, Vrykul and Tauren)
- Have something else in mind? Run it by me and we shall see if it can be done.
Character Sheet
Remove the dots from the [hr.] and replace the ???? with the color code you wish to use. Standard white is for the NPCs I will be controlling whenever the need arises so it’s not for use by players.
