"Shadows of the Past", a Warcraft Roleplay

I think you can do the introductory post, but I can help with the background.

The theme might be that you received a letter or so from Sharon a couple of days/weeks ago, and came to offer your aid in Stormwind. The meeting place could be his mansion.

It's currently winter in Stormwind, so the weather is snowy, lots of ice, and... did I mention more snow?
Sharon's mansion lies in the Mage District, quite a big house with a large snow covered garden surrounded by a stone wall and fenced gate. Oh, and it's guarded by Rithry's Night Elves, so be aware.(1's visible at the gate I believe, the rest hiding around & on the roof)

If you have any other questions, it's just to ask ;)

Sharon was very active during the human exodus from Lordaeron when the Scourge was stomping all over the place, so that's definitely a possibility, and his views on the Blood Elves are quite neutral, as he is a member of the Silver Covenant of Dalaran and frequently meets and sees them when he's in Dalaran.

Not to mention that the few of his friends who actually survived the onslaught of the Scourge became Blood Elves, alongside the vast majority of the eastern Elves.

Pretty much the only High Elf he knows that survived the Scourge, or at least he used to know, is his brother who is now trying to kill him ;P

I think it's not a bad idea, them having worked together during the evacuation of Lordaeron and the northern human kingdoms. It sounds like we've got their backstory right there ;)

I was entertaining the idea that Rae might be one of Sharon's old contacts(either that or he knew some of her superiors/colleagues) whom he'd call for to help him, which could be her way into the roleplay.

I do have a brief CS of my own on the front page of the OOC part of this thread, alongside some other useful information. I do not know if you've read it all, but if you liked my first idea, I suppose it might be ideal to have some background knowledge on Sharon as well ;)

And indeed, a fair bit of resilience goes a long way, especially when dealing with Night Elves. Feychild knows all about that ;P

That's not a bad CS at all, and I must say I was surprised how close Rae's age was to that of my own character, Sharon. It was an amusing coincidence ;)

I guess since Rae is part of the Scryers, she should at least have the political freedom of walking the streets of Stormwind without legal repercussions(also known as hanging :P). And we have been missing a Paladin type character, which has been very ironic considering the fact that our nemesis in this RP is pretty much a master of dark magic.

I should be available tomorrow night over at tinychat if you want to discuss your entry in greater detail or just have some questions. I'll PM you the link to the chatroom if you're up for it.

But just be advised, as our dear friend Rithy invited(and it was not my plan!) the entirety of the rest of her Night Elven warband to Sharon's mansion(aka, our base of operation atm), and so as a Blood Elf you should be prepared for the worst of diplomatic incidents, severe "misunderstandings" and the potential of not-so-friendly friendly fire ;)

"Very well, I trust your judgement on this matter." Sharon concluded after Liaena rejected his proposal. It was safe to say that Liaena knew Rithrynn better than he did himself, even though it oftentimes could seem like they spent most of their time fighting and arguing, and that Sharon had his fair share of intimate encounters with the latter where potions had been involved.

(( I think the name was Jamie Lasher, Liaena, Jamia & Savage sounds like the guys from Mythbusters :P ))

"Jamie... " Sharon muttered as he stared absentmindedly past Liaena for a moment, as he raced through his memories to try to find any references to the name.

"No, I don't think I... wait, I think I do. Jamie... Jamie Lasher." A light briefly appeared in Sharon's eyes as he remembered, and he looked back at the girl.
"He is a merchant from the maritime trade business. The man was a former marine of the Lordaeron navy, if I remember correctly. I have met him a couple of times in the past, once in a banquet down by the docks. He owned a couple of transport ships and was looking for clients."

Sharon chewed his lips.

"But that was months ago... "

What was Sherpa doing with him however? What kind of dealings had they set up between them? Sharon remembered enough to know that Jamie was a rather stern man, not someone who'd spent his time with needless chit-chat or frivolous parties. He was usually a man of few words who preferred to spend his time at sea with his merchant crew.

"Perhaps we can use the conflict between the White Hand and Red Vanguard to our advantage. If you deal with RIthrynn and whatever might be affecting her, I will go and dig deeper into this matter. There's most likely gold involved, and no man knows gold better than Alfidious Barthelhowe, the royal treasury advisor. I won't call him a friend, but I knew him from some previous run-ins that I had with him. I will send him a letter, and with any luck, he'll find the courtesy to reply."

Looking down at Liaena, Sharon placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled at her.

"And, do be careful with our Captain Serphia. Her magic phobia might be bad, but it's nothing like how she'll react if she ever gets a whiff of that there might be dark magic involved."

Hello there, glad to see another Warcraft enthusiasts! Sometimes it feels like we are a dying breed ;)

I definitely think it is possible.
I can open a chatroom with Tinychat where we can talk about it, but I will be busy for this weekend I'm afraid(family obligations) and so I won't really have time for a proper discussion. I should be able to organize a talk on Tuesday afternoon/evening if you're up for it.

This Sunday evening I might be available, but it's uncertain and I'll make no promises.

"Private armies, secret agents and now even his own castle. My brother has been very busy it seems!"

Although the idea of Sherpa building his own castle in Stormwind seemed out of whack at first, Sharon did remember hearing about the harbor defense project down by the docks. What better way to build your strategic, evil castle of doom without drawing suspicion than making it a joint effort seemingly for the benefit of the city?

"White Hand... those were a mercenary group, weren't they?" Sharon said, thinking back. He had heard about the White Hand, they were among the city's newer security groups, whom had received quite a lot of praise from their clients.
In fact, the last time he had been reading about them was the mercenary catalog given to him by Friedrick when he had been looking for a mercenary group to help defend him after the assassination attack.

It was probably best not to tell Liaena that before the Night Elves had come, the White Hand had been one of the groups Sharon had considered hiring.

"It would probably have not been the best idea to hire mercenaries to protect me from my brother-who-wants-to-kill-me's private army."

"Going against my brother alone would be suicide. He is a powerful foe. He might be even stronger than the last time we faced him. And that is even without considering the fact that he now has an entire private army on his side. Whatever happens, we will certainly need allies if we are ever going to hope to have a chance of taking him. Anything less would result in little more than a futile and overly dramatic suicide."

Sharon spoke while thinking. Sherpa was a former Death Knight of the Scourge, a man who almost solely brought great devastation to Dalaran. And now he had his own army. If they were going to take him out, they would need any assistance that they could get!

"We need Serphia and her elves." Sharon commented, chewing on his next words carefully.
"But Rithrynn represents an unstable element that would compromise the entire operation... "

"Telling Serphia would probably be a bad idea... "

"We need a way to neutralize her... what about her 'close friend', Naliyah?" Sharon asked, looking back at Liaena.

Yes, Rithrynn. I've been thinking about doing something like that.

I promise I'll get it done when I find the time(and the energy, least of all), to update it ;)

In the RP, I assume?

I can give a quick overview of their current positions.

Rithrynn - Sharon's Mansion, Mage District.
Liaena - Sharon's Mansion, Mage District.
Sharon - Sharon's Mansion, Mage District.
Sherpa - Stormwind Docks
Kathlin - Barthelhowe(the now recently deceased and murdered Royal Treasury Advisor)'s Regal Estate, north eastern Cathedral District.

If you're asking for Nallore, my closest guess is that she is somewhere on a planet in a galaxy far, far away, fighting imperialistic bug men and cyborgs in a sci-fi setting.
