The Crimson Order

[arkhon]

It was a cold night, and a lone figure approached the gates of Stormwind. The stranger was clothed in a mud stained white robe, and his toes were visible from the ragged shoes he wore, evidence that he had journeyed very far to reach this place.
Eldin silently walked past the guards on duty until one took notice of him and ordered him to halt. “You aren’t from around here are ye?” The guard questioned. Eldin neither nodded nor shook his head. The guard snickered at him. “You got papers then? Huh? Speak up old man!” Eldin reached into his pocket and drew out a fat, dirt stained envelope. The guard opened the envelope and took out a small piece of parchment inside. “Authorization to enter Stormwind and Ironforge? Signed by Captain Clellan…?” The guard gave the strange man a long stare. It was quite obvious that the signature was forged. Ach, hell if I’m gonna write another one of them damned reports just because of some ol’ bastard. Besides, someone else would catch him eventually; he wasn’t the only guard on duty. “Ah, I see…you’re free to enter then, ol’ man.” The guard gave Eldin a rough shove and returned to his post.
Eldin walked wearily through the trade district; it had been a very long time since he had been home. The streets were busy as usual, even at night. Merchants shouted their wares out at passerby’s, carts rolled to and from the trade district, blacksmiths and engineers bartered for materials, others exchanged the latest gossip and news. Eldin headed for the Inn, but stopped a couple of feet from the door. No, not this time. He thought to himself. So many fond memories in that Inn. The images of friends, comrades, and family from ages long gone began to swell up inside of him. He shook his head to clear his mind of the sad memories, and dropped a sealed letter into the mailbox nearby. With one final look at the city that he grew up in, Eldin began the long trek back.

The letter is addressed only "To the Indelibles" in glowing script, written and sealed with arcane magic.

My dear friends,
Blessings of the Light and its enlightment be upon each and every one of you. Long may you defend justice and truth. You are stalwart defenders of what is right, and I salute you.

Reeling from the loss of Quel’Thalas, my people, the once proud High Elves, have given in to hatred and despair and embraced the dark side of our remaining magical powers – Even courting the infernal powers of the burning legion. Even though the path of my people will lead to the highest pinnacles of power… it will also lead to the darkest depths of madness.

The Crimson Order, the cause that I serve, seeks to save our people; to turn our energies instead from revenge to restoring the once glorious Quel’Thalas and ridding the world of the Scourge.
There is hope. The hope that one-day our factions would stop wasting their time warring against each other and instead unite for a common goal, to push darkness from this world.

We ask for the Indelibles help. You are the only ones who will listen. There is no victory without unity, no peace when there's conflict. In this dark time, we can only forget our differences and fight the darkness together.

-Arkhon Firestar,
Blood Lord of the Crimson Order

Xelas sat at the small table in his room which served as a desk. He drew out a sheet of parchment, dipped a quill into ink, and began to write in a hand that was bold, with minimal flourish. The Thelassian he used was of an older dialect, more common to the High Elves who first crossed the sea in exile. But it was still understandable to a common reader.

Beloved kinsman --

I would like whatever information you can draw about the Crimson Order. I do not recall ever crossing them before. I will await your report when next we convene at Lights Hope.

Light go with you.

Blood of the Storm,
Savanden

[[ OOC: actually I stripped most of it from the Armory. I've been trying to prod folks to reach some consensus.

I know I'm personally curious what it is exactly that you'll be looking for in a cross-faction interaction. Non-aggression pact? Cooperation on world bosses or outdoor raid quests? Hang out and party in Shattrath? Cross-faction stories? I mean personally, I've seen some cross-faction guilds do exactly this sort of thing. But I wanted to get a feel for what you folks were specifically looking for. I think the absence of that has kind of left the members here unfocused on a decision, since we don't know what is being offered or asked for. ]]

[[ Sorry for being so late in this reply, I was really thinking cross faction roleplay/pvp.. I have alot of ideas too. But Selin says you guys just want to do pvp and have an Ooc Alliance? Thats cool too, would love to fight all of you and its a bit more difficult to have an rp story for every little event. xD By the way Sylaurn, here is the address to our forums.
