[A] Dawn's End

“Chosen,

You have been granted the opportunity of a lifetime. Heed not the lies and fears of those around you. There is only one path, and it is absolute.

You have been Chosen to study, absorb and be bestowed upon with the absolute power that is the Shadow. With this blessing, rid of the burdens of morality, you are granted the means to an end, whatever that end may be. To recognize the burden of dogmas and to see the necessity of power.

You will soon take your first step. But only the strongest are granted with the powers of the Shadow in its purest form. Fear not. Whether you live or die, you will serve the Shadow and you will ascend.

Focus on the crystal you have been given at the crucial moment. You will know when. The Lords of Shadow will make sure you do.”

Dawn’s End is an event intended to introduce RPers to how it’s like to RP a cultist initiate in every way, from performing rituals to killing in the name. This Initiate is a brand-new character or a character who’s recently trodden down the dark path. The Initiate can either be seen as a fun, disposable event character or a character to introduce you to dark RP. The Event will include the Awakening Ritual, training to harness the Shadow, the ritual of Sacrifice and finally the Dawn’s End.

Initiates can be any race (cept Horde scum pffft) and class (though perhaps Paladin would require a bit of explaining). There is no level requirement.
If you wish to join in on the Event, whisper either Zaraj, Grundul or Amhgar. Seeing as the letter above is universal to all initiates, you decide the background and motivation of your own cultist initiate. Though if you wish to discuss the background with either of the listed persons, feel free to do so.

The Event is scheduled to take place on Wednesday the 5th 20:00. Where it takes place… well, it’ll be a surprise. A pleasant shadowy surprise.

Now this is something I can support! Great initiative there! Cultists are grand for RP, especially when its well done. Good luck with this, I might even attend myself.

Throw my toon Duvaineth an inv on calendar Ill prob come as a random cultist. Soulds like a lot of fun this event

Damn I'll be away until Thursday the 6th (Day after) but would really like to get involved in this. Hope to see some continuation of this in some form or another, but if not, I wish you all the very best of luck. Great initiative I hope it goes as well as expected and even more so!

My character has been inactive for some time now, see this: http://www.defiasrp.com/t5627-04-09-12-mild-gore-violence-council-of-stormwind-aldric-and-naz-aya-s-battle-illusion?highlight=Aldric+Essalus+Helmfrid but we intend to bring him back. So something like this would have been perfect. Kicking myself right now that I can't attend.

Unless my real life comes in the way i'll create a new although likely temporary character to see this. I'll also try to be in touch in the name of this

...I'll be there. In the shadows. Waiting.. Or well, I would if my rogue still was here. I'll be there on another char, expect me!

Since event is tomorrow when I'm writing this, I'll clarify a bit.

I've sent a calendar invite to the character names visible on this forums who've shown interest (except for Jasmine, cause I'm prolly inept at spelling)

Considering it'll mostly be brand new characters, just whisper me on the character you wanna attend on around the time of the event and the rest will sort itself out.

So... forward unto Dawn's End!

If nothing else important gets in the way, then I have a character that would be interested as well.

Sounds interesting, and if everything goes according to plan, i should be able to return to WoW soon... Hmm nevertheless i will contact you if i do so

Shame I spotted this to late and I'm at work. I had the perfect toon for this :-(

Took some screenies of ur event guys at last moment.

Spoiler:

Alright, event is concluded, thanks to everyone who attended. Special thanks goes to Jeremias who was nice and patient enough to wait for a very long time just to help out with the event by playing a priest for the Argent Dawn.

And also it was cool with outside interaction in the form of Jayse and the Ebon Knighters, the latter which can be seen in Duvaineth's post.

But here are some screenies of my own from the event.


A mysterious intruder appears.


Squaring off with the vile priest Boniface!

R.I.P Boniface. You won't be forgotten.

Greatest missed opportunity of this event:

Not calling it Dawn's Twilight -

*The Pun Police burst in*

"Thelos! You are under arrest for the most horrid wordplay ever put in a post on DefiasRP!"

"No! No! You don't understand - "

"Safe it for the bureau, buster!"

"You don't understand! I...I can do worse!"

"..."

"I guess the real shame is that the worldplay never dawned on-"

*Thelos gets gagged before he can finish his joke. Crowds rejoice and applaud the heroic punpolice who have, for now, kept the peace of DefiasRP.

"

god damn it thelos only horatio is allowed to make genius wordpuns, now the punpolice has put you in jail such a waste

Also, might be posting some story or something on the event later. Not sure if there's a section for IC stories or something.
