IC:

The cold North of Northrend is an imposing and benighted land; covered in harsh winds and eternally wrapped in snow; it is the great bastion of the Undead Scourge. From the peak of the Icecrown Glacier, atop the Frozen Throne, Arthas, the new and immortal Lich King; gazes out at all before him, rallying armies with the power of his thoughts alone...And bearing the accursed Blade, Frostmourne.

In the toxic Plaguelands of Lordaeron, within the defiled halls of Stratholme, the Lich, Kel'thuzad, Arthas' major domo, rallies the horrifici legions of the massacred kingdom, to oppose the armies of the Banshee Queen, Sylvanas, as all across the world; the howls of the dread, cold north, grow louder, and far more beckoning....

The mountain Range around Khaz Modan
In the mountains, some little orc groups that hadn't been destroyed/captured after the battle of Grim Batol, were rallying again. The King, Magni Bronzebeard, was alarmed by this message. He immediately sended a messager towards his friends in the Alliance, the human Paladin leader.

High esteemed Jaina Proudmoore
After the rumours I have reported you about last week, it seems the orcish hords are rallying again in the mountains of Khaz Modan. I have sent out scouts to take a look around where their camps are. But new rumours have arrived. Travelling Night Elves from Kalimdor have told me some rumours from their lands. It seems a new Scourge has landed, and we all know the Lich King isn't dead yet. I suggest we set the Alliance Status at Code Orange.
Awaiting your response,

Magni Bronzebeard

In the barren plains of Kalimdor the orcs were gathering around the warchief Thrall.
They built the city of Ogrimmar and they established trade routs with the Tauren. But most importantly, they had had gained their own land. They had no longer any need to wage war against everything living, and hopeflly be long before the Horde rode to war again.

OOC: Dude....Do you even know Warcraft? Uther is Dead! Arthas Killed him. This is set post TFT, in the WoW timeline, which is 4 years after Reign of Chaos

OOC: lol sorry man, i first adressed to Arthas when i reread your post and saw he was the new lich king :-D
long time since i played WC III :(

OOC: its ok, just edit it a little and it'll be fine :)

OOC: then who is the human king?

It's that sorceress, whatever her name is.

king Llane, wasn't it? He's some 9 year old kid. Jaina Proudmoore is the mistress of Theramore, which is a fortified human city in Kalimdor.

aah arthas' lovergirl, Jaina Proudmoore ;-)
i got the manual with the names and lands on my desk :-D

OOC:I think the humans are ruled by the sorceress, unless some are still left in Azeroth.

Yes that's her name, Jaina. Thank you.

then who shall I adress my message to? :-D
the kid is too young and Jaina has no power :(

OOC: Jaina sure got power.

OOC: Well, theres the other Alliance Races!
And Jaina is the most powerful human sorceress....She has quite a bit of power. The conference to reunite the alliance was to take place as Theramore, after all...

then who else is on Azeroth/Lordaeron?

OOC: The boy king :P and High Tinker Mekkatorque

OOC: If I remember it right a few humans escaped the Scourge but I don't think they have united.
You could sit in a mountain and hope noone will notice you. If they do, you should build a lot of traps.

But i'm the dwarves, why would they want to hit me?

I were thinking about the Scourge.

Azeroth is very much still intact, the plague never reached there for whatever reason.

Well, civil war does that....ANYWAY! BACK TO THE RP!

((why don't you just play the WoW game and forget the rp idea...))

((Why, when I can do both? :) ;) ))

OOC:That's our Chronosia...he needs help. ;)

BIC:

"Sylvanas, it will not work." The powerful Dreadlord gazed her lonley spirit, a grin on his cold face. "This is not the old days, the Legion days, when you were still an elf. Now look at you! A ghost that can only wail with her kin. So let me get ideas and leave yourself to your delusionary ideas."

"Oh mighty Dreadlord...that is a lie. We must develop the plague! By the ruins of Lauderoen, I swear we will!"

The Dreadlord Varimathras sighed softly. He knew she was right. The only question was how....

OOC: Just so you know, Sylvanas is now a Dark Ranger, a ressurected Ranger of Quel'thelas; so she has physical form.

IC:

Kel'thuzad brooded in the midst of his dark lair; all about him enemies gathered; Sylvanas and her damned Forsaken, the Scarlet Crusade; Adventurers and warriors from the South, deluded fools who believed that somewhere there lay salvation. By the Ghost of Quel'thelas, by the haunted Shadow of the Tomb of Uther, Kel'thuzad swore that he would bring about the end of all. Though the very land was cursed, he knew; his destiny approached. He needed only to heed his Master's voice...

OOC:Cool. I always liked her (except when she was a banshee-thing)

Meanwhile...in the cemetery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Dreadlord Varimathras strode through the cemetery, he reflected o the location choice for the development of the plague. He grinned. What place better than a place no longer populated? The dead had risen, now what?

Acolytes scattered as he approached. The head, a massive cloaked ghoul with extraordinary power, Zacroth, nodded. "Death lie low upon you, Dreadlord Varimathras. We have finished the brew. Now, all that waits is for the plague to spread!"

And so it went, from one to another, the plague began. The death of the Undead had begun.

OOC:Just to spice things up...BTW, Zacroth is a hero (of my imagination).

bump

OOC:Just a short description of this "alternate" plague:

It turns everyone into ghouls ravaged by hunger and killing. Essentially, everyone turns into a skeleton and goes mad... ;)
