The Southern Crusade

IC:
OOC:
Trolls were always trouble. They are the perennial enemies of humanity. And they are just on the border! The Chapter will therefore, in the run-up to all the big war events kicking off around 5.1, organize a small crusade against the trolls taking place from the 20 - 26th of November. We'll begin by gathering in Raven Hill for three days, carrying out patrols, a Grand Mass and a some other small events. Before heading out into the Vale to raid, ravage and pillage troll towns and land, then set up a fortified camp from which we'll launch a siege on and then finally, attack, a huge troll temple!
Most of the events will be DMed, but free RP and PvP are encouraged.
So far, the House Goodwyn and the Disciples of Light have been invited; but we welcome more people to join if they wish. All it takes is heading to Raven Hill ICly and seeking out either Sevelle or Kaslain.
Disclaimer: All are welcome to attend the event; however, please be aware of the consequences that your character selection will have. The Chapter are a bunch of fanatics! If you play a Death Knight or any other open dark magic practitioner, there is a very real risk that you will be attacked or at the very least driven away by the crusaders.
If you decide to attend on such a character despite this warning (and, again, you're welcome to!), please don't complain OOCly if you do happen to be attacked. Thank you!
This is how the state of the Crusade currently looks like:
- Spoiler:
- [This proclamation is posted on all major town notice boards throughout the Kingdom, as well as the Cathedral notice board and the Abbey notice board. Excerpts are also featured in the major newspaper publications around the Kingdom of Stormwind.]
Citizens of the Kingdom, children of the Light; Hail Anethion to you all.
It has been no less than two days since refugee's began to flood into the Abbey, rendered homeless and destitute by the barbaric trolls and the fury they afflict against those brave, innocent men and women settled in the region of Duskwood closest to the Stranglethorn-border. The Chapter of Holy Anethion has said outright: this act of unholy aggression cannot go unpunished! In times of war, the Universal Crusade against darkness reverberates ever-the-louder throughout the kingdom, and those faithful and zealous in service to the Light must act to see darkness defeated.
For a great time we have seen the world in disorder, caused by the crimes of the Horde, now more than ever, they seek to bring ruin upon us. We must answer the call of those not protected from the Horde - particularly the trolls of Stranglethorn - by stone-walls and armed men, for they call out for justice for acts committed against them! The Chapter, guided by the benevolent hand of the Light, have begun the first step to Justice; purging Raven Hill of the cultists and undead which had occupied the buildings there, who had forced the citizens not slain by their hand into the woods to seek shelter, only to be slaughtered and pillaged by a race of idolators and demon-lovers.
Raven Hill shall, for now, act as an intermediate base in which we shall gather supplies and prepare ourselves before launching an offensive against the trolls and their allies. Thusly, I beseech you all, nay the Light beseech's you all, to spread the word, to unite under the banner of Righteousness as the Holy-Light's herald, regardless of age, rank or wealth; to aid the Chapter of Holy Anethion in bringing the Light's wrath down upon the jungles inhabited by those who so callously violate It's will, to strike at the Horde and bring glory to the Alliance war-effort! For if you do not, attacks against those faithful to Light and King will become more frequent, land claimed for the Alliance will be uprooted, Church's will be despoiled and darkness will triumph.
The Chapter therefore pledges that all those which carry out their Duty will be cleared of all Sin before the Light, and shall receive a percentage of wealth claimed from the spoils of war according to contribution. Surely, we cannot allow land inhabited by humans with faith in the Grace and Glory of the Holy-Light; tainted as that land is, to be overrun and conquered by Humanity's ancient enemy. It is now time: for those with Faith to do their Duty, for those who were once robbers to become soldiers, for those fighting against man to wage war against a barbarous foe, for mercenaries battling for small pay now battling to obtain eternal reward; let even those who cannot fight serve the crusade through other means; through supplies or through prayer.
Thus I, Waldemar II, Holy Abbot of Tyr's Hand, Supreme Lector of the Tyrrean Order, by the Light annointed as Vicar to the Prophet Anethion, ordain the Southern Crusade.
The Light will is, and Light's will be done!

More IC stuff, just so that everything is compiled into a single thread!
- Spoiler:
- A poster has appeared in all of the major towns in the Kingdom of Stormwind.
- Spoiler:
- A letter addressed to the Disciples of Light has surfaced in Westbrook Garrison. Strangely enough, there are rumours of similar missives being sent privately to the other holy orders of Stormwind - why this one is public remains to be seen.
"To the illustrious Disciples of Light,
Blessings of the Holy Light upon you.
I bear grim tidings. The trolls to the south have grown audacious in the absence of His Majesty’s armies and seem content to raid and plunder the borders of our realm. Though I scarcely need to impress the severity of this situation upon you, I feel it right to relay the state of Duskwood as those who have fled it would do:
Good, Light-fearing men are slain without compunction or remorse, the fruits of their labour stolen from the mouths of their widows and orphans; innocents are sacrificed before pagan idols, their souls barred from Heaven to fuel wicked rituals that further scar our lands; villages and farms are put to the torch, ending livelihoods and making the process of resettlement increasingly difficult. Years of progress in reclaiming the forests from the Shadow have been undone in a week!
Where will this end? Surely we must keep the boldness of the troll in check, lest His Majesty’s armies be recalled only to find their kingdom in ruin.
To this end, His Holiness Waldemar II has decided to redress the troll issue once and for all. He has called all faithful men to arms in defence of the Holy Light – a new crusade, one that will bring the hammer of the Light down upon the despoiler and ensure a new era of prosperity for the realm.
His Holiness implores you to join us on this crusade. I pray that you will overlook our sectarian differences for the Greater Good of the kingdom and the faith.
Glory under the Light,
Brother Berinand d’Avranches,
Secretary to His Holiness Waldemar II"

*A sudden gnomish response is raised from the offices of the Ironforge senator of invention.
Quickly distributed in several gnomish settlements and large parts of Ironforge.*
Citizens of Gnomeregan.
Our allies are in danger, their borders attacked by savage trolls. A call to arms has erupted in the human kingdom. A call to arms i will echo.
Not only to aid our allies.
Not only to secure our common borders.
Not only to return the favours previously extended by our human friends.
No my brothers and sisters, there are savage trolls down south.
Savages ignorant to any concept of invention and engineering.
Ignorant to the power of technology.
Ignorant to the true might of a solid intellect.
Blissfully ignorant to the sheer beautiful efficiency of a gnomish death ray.
And to this my brothers and sisters, i can say only one thing.
Let us educate these savages.
((ooc: Figure its time for some gnomes to respond to a call to arms, any interested in joining a small gnomish force intending to aid the southern Crusade, do contact me))

Oh nice, a proper Holy CRUSADE. I'll sadly remain distant, as all my characters are at the moment darkcasters or undead, but i wish you the best luck with this!

Post this on the realm forum as well, exclude the times and dates, as well as the cross-realm role-playing forum, advertise Defias Brotherhood a bit.
Please.
I'll definitely be joining this as will the rest of the Goodwyn's.

This is going very well so far, Raven Hill has provided role-play since this has been declared and there shall be more to come. Better yet, SGE will try to participate and fit us into their schedule even if they are busy, regardless of socially backward people who crash role-playing events because they are upset!

Yes, regardless of the irritating arses who wish to interrupt RP, we can assist by playing captives or an ambush or some such should we be free between our own events at current.
Bring the gnomes, they're always fun to punt off cliffs!

Today a vanguard of crusaders attacked Zul'Kunda in anticipation for the final attack tomorrow, ultimately they were pushed back by the legion of rabid trolls; furious in their attempt to stop the assault on their Lightless temple before it had even truly begun, taking the lives of countless Shadowbreakers and destroying the Banner of the White Cross.
If it had not been for sir-shadower Gustav, who sacrificed himself so that the other crusaders could retreat and build a temporary base within the ruins of Zul'Kunda, all would have been lost!
