[A] <Naaruvada>

you have stopped playing?

Every Sunday evening at 20:30, the Naaruvada hold their guild meeting at the Aldor Rise in Shattrath. All Draenei or otherwise Naaru-sworn characters are invited to attend.

Got any business with the Naaruvada? Come on over and learn or teach what's what!

Thelos, I'd love to set my Draenei mage up with other Draenei. Is this the place to go?

Yep, i might jump on Ashoon, even if i stoped rping her xD

Indeed it is!

Another tip I can give you is to join the Outland channel, where most Draenei role-players hang out. Usually when you ask around there, you can set up some role-play.

Well.

After the short-lived revival by Pravalon and then a whole long period of nothingness, I am slowly starting to bring the Naaruvada back by introducing the character of Huruma, the new Exarch.

You will immediately find that his countenance brings about a change: this military-minded crusader isn't too bothers with peace, love & happiness and considers the last goal of the Naaruvada to have priority of the others, the first three being luxuries of peacetime.

So, if there are any draenei out there willing to join me in dressing up in shiny armor and crushing sinner's skulls with warhammers, give me a nudge - the more old-fashioned hippie preachers are, of course, also still welcome as well.

In short: The Naaruvada is back, same religion, same color scheme (orange-and-white). Whether the guild will be back or whether it will just stick to one or two characters remains to be seen.

So, less of this:

And more of this:

Spoiler:

I'm still looking at making my Draenei Pally, just lacking time at the minute. I have not forgotten you Draenei's, and I still intend to join you as one of these aforementioned head crushing sinner smiters.

Time to level Vrachos!

The rock has been thrown into the pound. A certain very angry and bitter Vindicator has seized control of an hitherto peaceful order and has begun molding it in his image.

Stay tuned for further announcements, coming soon(tm)

I shall move my two Draenei characters into your pond immediately, sir.

First in a series of IC writings to explain the motivations of the Naaruvada's current Exarch and his planned reforms.

A World of Corruption

Where did we lose our way?

Are the lessons of the past forgotten so easily?

Atop the highest mount of Argus, they descended: the hallowed Naaru, bringing with them the ways of love and right. Vada, we called it; or way: Naaruvada. We purified ourselves of the damning corruption that had cast our former kin into the clutches of damnation. No longer would we entertain the filthy decadence of Argus; saved as we were by the Holy Light, we dedicated our existences to serving It, in humbling gratitude. No deeds I've done nor thoughts I've thought; safe as thy servant, I am nought. If not for the Light, our skin would be red; the Light, with the Naaru as Its custodians, is all that separates us from the Legion. We are the Draenei, exiles of Argus and the first to be drafted into the Naaru's Army of Light.

Have we forgotten this harsh lesson already? Have we grown complacent and snug in our supposed security? Do we, after having retained our blue skin and having resisted the Legion for so many eons, think ourselves above corruption now?

No.

It cannot be.

It cannot allowed to be.

Draenor was supposed to be a cruel reminder of what happens when we slip into complacency. It was our negligence in converting the Orcs to the Light that caused them to be susceptible to the Legion's damning corruption. It was us or them; if we had not been able to convert them, we should have destroyed them: any creature unsusceptible to the Light's truth lack the Inner Light and is therefore doomed to damnation from the start.

Did we learn?

No.

We only grew more lax. We ran and huddled together in colonies struck with grievous sicknessess and mutation as a punishment for our cowardice. Entire tribes were cast from the Light's blessing and cast into dark damnation.

But, ultimately, trough the foresight of the Prophet and the grace of the Naaru, we were given another chance at redemption. The Naaru send their Tempest Keep and we managed to emancipate the Exodar. It took us to Azeroth, a world rich in Dark and Light alike. There we found allies and kindred spirits in the Light-loving Alliance people, the noble Night Elves and stout Humans in particular. It was with their aid that we manages to push the Legion out of Outland. It was under the azure banner that we deflected threat after threat to the Light's chosen world. For chosen it was: the Prophet's providence has seen in Azeroth some thing of great worth. Perhaps it is to be the battlefield where we take our final stand against the Legion. No more running. Perhaps it is from these peoples that the promised Army of Light will finally take shape.

But what kind of peoples are they and what kind of world do they inhabit?

On one side we have the savage, demonblooded Orcs who only know the ways of slaughter; their trollish allies who are much alike in bloodlust; their tauren companions who, in spite of some redeeming qualities, have allowed themselves to be swept up in the drums of unjust war; the Forsaken, a foul band of Light- and Lifeless damned; and the goblins, a greedy amoral race hellbent on exploiting this world's soil.

What of our allies? The humans are a prideful people who in their arrogance believe themselves to be the equal of Gods; only to be surpassed in hubris by the Night Elves, who have elevated their own heroes to Divinity and worship idols; allied to them are the Dwarves, who revel in sin and debauchery; the Gnomes, who, though their naturally keen minds allow them to perform great feats of science and reach a powerful understanding of the cosmos, seem wholly ignorant of spiritual matters; the Worgen, a prideful kingdom of humans who have been cursed for their arrogance with monstrous forms; and finally the Draenei, who, if fate had twisted a little differently, would have fallen to the Legion's sway. A wicked people, whose weakness to the temptation of Fel and Darkness have been well documented and experienced firsthand by many.

Do these sound like the proud conscripts of the Holy Light scripture promises?

No.

Corruption and debauchery run rampant trough the mortal people of Azeroth and our own kin is not excluded from this damning trend. Our own kin walks around in skimpy outfits, parading their flesh in the human cities on display and reveling in sinful debauchery. They fill their bodies with poison and their minds with lies and corruption.

This world itself is poisonous and if we do not start fighting back the tide of darkness now, we will be swallowed whole and corrupted beyond redemption. To combat this world's many temptations and damning corruptions, we must return to the roots of our Faith. We must study scripture more attentively and follow the ancient tenants of our Faith loyally, piously and without question. For with each passing day, our kin slips further from grace and into the damning bowels of Fel temptation. How much longer before our revelries bring us to the same level of decadence of the Argus that doomed our entire people?

But it is not too late, my brothers and sisters; not too late to reverse the Sacred Wheel of Deed and Thought and make it spin in the other direction. The Naaruvada proposes to return to the roots of our Faith and weed out the corruption amongst our own, amongst the people of Azeroth and ultimately out of creation. First, we purify ourselves from the damning stains of corruption; then that of our allies; then from our enemies, if not by conversion then by arms; and finally from the Legion by obliterating their evil whole.

Join us, brothers and sisters – so that together we might rejuvenate our ancient Faith and keep our people from a second fall.

-Exarch Huruma.

*Screams with Excitement*

Excellent.

Approved. Now just to realm transfer my draenei and I'll be bugging you soon enough.

Yay for Goats! I shall chop off your hooves and wear them as ornaments.

Seriously though, an excellent read, as is the stuff you've posted in the IC section, very exciting things ahead.

I am currently working on revamping the ranks and writing an IC handbook for Disciples of the Faith I will call "The Tenants of Faith".

With Huruma having taken charge, the face of the Naaruvada will change. Whereas Thelos believed in the good of people and their strength to find the Light on their own trough self-study, Huruma ultimately believes people are sinful and weak and are in need of guidance. There will be a strict code of ethics to abide by - Abstinance, Celibacy, Asceticism will be the new keywords. Easy, simple rules to live by and to fight by will be provided. That is what - according to self-appointed Exarch Huruma - the people crave for and what the people need.
