The Ebon Watchmen.

The Ebon Watchers


(An oral report from an alliance Sergent)

...It was beyond hope, the forsaken closed in from all sides. My command was over, my troops are either dead, routed or standing with me under our standard, awaiting death. We knew what death meant too you understand captain, there bravery was as foolish as it was a credit to there charactar. Suddenly portals opened! Soldiers in Black garb and black hoods entered the battle. They charged the rear of the forsaken lines it became clear what they were. There weapons and magic were as dark as there uniforms, shadow bolts striking out, fallen warriors returned to there feet and struck at the enemy. The very swords the troops carried were enfused with some kind of evil power. There shock tactics were affective howevere eyes under his hood. He said nothing but nodded to himself and left through a new portal. There was no doubt I witnessed foul magic and heretic troops, but there is no denying they saved us that day...

(A written report to an alliance commander)

We are not sure what these troops are or who they serve. Clearly they fight for the alliance yet there methods are evil and illegal. There may be a link to the Ebon Hold, the Kirin tor or perhaps even SI7. There armour there hoods and masks, there very weapons are black. It is a frightening method of war, based on shadow and necromancy that they take to the enemy who ever they would be. No one knows who they are or why they serve an alliance that would hang them if they were caught.

(OOC)

The Ebon Watch are a collection of Magi, warriors and scouts that serve the Ebon Shroud. They may serve as they owe there lives to the Shroud, for safety from the law due to their magic or maybe just for gold. We take all races and all classes but we must stress that you are secret about this IC. The nature of the unit will be illegal and we insist that people face IC consquences if you are captured by alliance troops. The Watchers will also need to have Jobs and lives when they are not called up and can I hope at times just chill out in da hubs and be curtious patrons. (think of superman if he was a necromancer).

The kind of thing we are looking for are :-

Magi-Shadow magi/shadow priests, necromancers, blood mages or arcane magi.
Infantry-Unhappy warriors, criminals needing safety, Argents who wish to fight the Horde, those who do not fit into society or those who you feel would have a good IC reason for joining for another reason.

We do not take Fel users and are ok with Paladins/lightdogs provided you can think of a good IC reason they would be there (they will be getting there hands dirty)

If you want to Join /w Lexgad or Aetheldreth.

This sounds really really cool... But I don't have any characters to spare :'(

Who watches the Ebon watchmen?

If you guys could concentrate on something -other- then my immediate superiority in terms of comic value, this is a pretty cool idea, but expect to get hurt on for it. You're still a crimmy, remember?

I'm definitely interested in how this concept could play into RP. Now that you have had a little time to recruit.. what do you folks plan to do iC?

Mainly they will be on the look out for threats to the... "Alliance" And the Ebon Shroud both inside and without. They are not nice people, all sorts in their ranks but they are loyal and fight for the Alliance. Sometimes for the good of the Alliance someone must die, this is the way of things however in time this will lead to an alliance ruled by reason rather than Zealots and the wants of greedy selfish fools. Becides they will not kill anyone who is not guilty and for every traitor they kill they shall slay many times that in Horde or Scourge.

So yeah kinda Morally Grey, evil means for a good ends, much like the rest of the Ebon Shroud. Becides if I make sure the RP is done right you should never learn of the Watchers IC

Fight the Enemies of the Circle of the Ebon Shroud ofc :p Sometimes theywill be along side the DKs but alot of it will be on their own. Not all of it is fighting either, they will be doing alot of recon and undercover stuff.

First kill My lil Watchers have popped their cherries!

Anyone else with Anti DK thoughts an who wants a nice painful, public and tastless deaths give me a poke.

Hmm you do know if some one ties them to the Shroud you are all as good as dead

Yep. Even -more- dead than before. Guess why they are not spoken -ever- in the public?

And the reason every time I see watchers on line I am dreading that someone will say something.

Still have a Very good leader in "watcher" of all will be fine Plus there are other.... safety systems in place
