(( A cold wind comes from the north. Morec has posted another part of his hideously-written story... ))
- Nilon was barely able to dodge Morec's attack. He tried to counter attack, but the Scourgelord parried the blow.
- "Still you hound me, Morec," Nilon said, slaying some Scourge that tried to assist the death knight in his attack.
- "My king ordered his place's destruction," the Scourgelord said, "and I will carry out that command to the letter." He chuckled. "You wouldn't believe the power that now flows through my veins. You should have sided with us. You could have it, and you could be with your lover for
eternity
."
- "Celen would
never
want me to surrender my soul!" Nilon retorted, "not even for her. Know this, though; even if I need to slay you, your 'king,' the whole of the Scourge army, I will rescue her from your clutches!"
- "Then pray you can do so in death!" Morec swung his runeblade. Nilon held his sword to try and block the attack.
- But it shattered under the impact of the blow. He quickly threw up a shield of holy energy, but it only blocked some of the attack's power.
- The slash cut through Nilon's armor and left a huge gash on his stomach. The paladin staggered back, trying to get away from the death knight, but Morec pursued. "It's time for you to
die
!" he said, raising his runeblade.
- "Death knight!" Tirion yelled and leapt over the Scourge to Nilon's side. "You will not harm the elf!"
- Now it was Morec who fell into a retreat. He knew he was powerful, but he also knew that Fordring was stronger. He tried to escape the Ashbringer, but Tirion slowly gained on him.
- Then a barrage of frost fell upon him. Umbragos was flying down towards his master, using his chilling breath to slow the paladin down. The frost wyrm landed, still using its breath to protect his master.
- "Be grateful that you wield the Ashbringer, paladin!" Morec yelled to be heard over the roar of Umbragos' attack. "But this
isn't
the last you've seen of me!"
- Morec mounted Umbragos, and the undead dragon took to the sky.
- Tirion glared at the fleeing death knight, and then turned his attention to Nilon.
- The blood elf felt dizzy, and his vision began to blur. He'd lost a massive amount of blood; more then he thought he had.
- "You're just a magnet for trouble, aren’t you?" Nilon heard Tirion say as he passed out.
...
- "
You've done well, Scourgelord
," the Lich King said. "
Although you failed to defeat Fordring and his Crusade, you were able to deal massive damage to their numbers. Also, you managed to defeat Mograine. That
is
an achievement, and it continues to prove your worth and loyalty to me
."
- "Thank you, my king," Morec said, once again kneeling before the Lich King.
- "
However, as you are outmatched by Fordring, I will be assigning three of my top commanders to assist you
."
- "More minions, my king?"
- "
No, you will find that they are perfectly your equal... Excellent, they have arrived
." Mores stood, coming up the spiraling staircase that led to the Frozen Throne were three figures. They filed up in a line in front of Morec. One lich, one nerubian, and one female elf.
- The first shared the basic appearance of any other lich, but his robes - instead of the blues and purples wore by most others - were colored with a red and black color scheme. His bones were a pitch black instead of chalk white, and an eternally-burning fire raged in his exposed ribcage, replacing the frosty core.
- The second was a nerubian. Morec had seen nerubians before, but this one was different. He stood on four massive legs, towering above the average height of most. He also wore some kind of dark robe, and there was a ceremonial dagger hanging from his belt.
- Lastly, the elf had dark hair and glowing red eyes - traits shared by almost all dark rangers. Her body had a lovely curve to it, and her chest was... pronounced. Many men would have been drive to lust for it. Morec, however, had better control over his primal urges then most men, and he noticed one feature subtracted greatly from her appearance: a massive, jagged scar that ran the length of her face from the top right corner, down to the bottom left.
- "
This
," the Lich King started, pointing Frostmourn at the lich-like creature, "
is Nalor Firewalker. Former blood mage of Quel'thalas, now flame lich of the Scourge
."
- "
It is an honor to be serving with you, Scourgelord
," Nalor said, his voice dry and raspy.
- "
The next
," the Lich King continued, "
is Anuk'arag, nerubian vizier
."
- "Greetings, death knight," Anuk'arag said with a slight bow.
- "
Lastly
," the Lich King said, "
we have the dark ranger
-."
- "I will introduce myself, my king," the female said, fury resonating clear in her voice. "I am
Miriam Windrunner
."

I wouldn't randomly include a Windrunner unless I had a plan. And it might not be what you think.
May be a cousin.
Hehe, no Salisha. xD
Not yet sure whether it will be a cousin or another sister. I'm leaning towards the former, seems less sue-ish.
And yep, no Salisha. But if you look at how I described Miriam...

I thought it was Salisha, until the scar on the face and dark ranger bits disproved that. -.-

Interesting.... and should I be pleased that the italic lettering for undead characters is catching on heh?
Post by
Morec0
Well, I think that the
bold
italics
fits the
Lich King
. Gives his voice the
icy
yet
powerful
feeling that I think characterizes him.
I chose to use italics for Nalor because I felt it also helped characterize a dry raspyness(don't care if that's not a real word).
Post by
Adamsm
No, I get that heh, it's just, I used the italics for most of the undead characters in well everything lately, and I've seen others using it as well lol.
Post by
Morec0
Yeah, although I think I used it first, with
Itheac
.
Sorry.

Yeah, he's entirely forgetable. Strange it's that way, without him the entire storyline wouldn't have existed, when you think about it.

Writer's Commentary:
- I've got a lot to cover in this post, so I'll start with the obvious; Nilon's blacked out.
- Again.
- Now for the more detailed bits: a quick overlook of the newly introduced Scourge.
- Nalor Firewalker was actually a request I made if I could use him:
Character -
Nalor Firewaker
Gender -
Male
Race -
Up to you how ya want to use him, Blood Elf/Undead Blood Elf
Class -
Blood Mage/Necromancer
- As you can see, I took some very liberal uses with him. The idea for a "fire lich" hit me sometime when I was reading Flyingshot's story (
Dawn of the Damned
). I rememberd the
Ember
and
Magmawyrms
from
Dragonblight
and it hit me that fire within the Scourge might
not
be confined to these creatures. The name went through much revising - including torch lich - and I'm still not satistified with the result. If you have a suggestion, feel free to suggest it.
- Anuk'arag was first hinted at in
Preview 3
. Anuk'arag was the second nerubian chracter to be used in
War of the Spider
- the first being Anub'arak(Played by me) - and another one of Flyingshot's characters:
Character : Anuk'arag (Vizier)
Desricption: Anuk'arag is a Vizier advisor to the Spiderlords and a sorcerer specializing in fire spells.
- Hey, it's not my fault he comes up with awsome character ideas. Of course, being Scourge now, there will probably - scratch that -
definitely
be some differences.
- Lastly, Miriam Windrunner. Not who you were expecting? Good.
- I wanted to include a character that was more on the commander level then a minion, and a Scourge dark ranger seemed appropriate - enough death knight's are already in my mind. And I though "what could be the most interesting dark ranger character... a
Windrunner
!" The family seemed extensive enough to allow for something like that.
- Originally, her name was going to be "Kaylia Windrunner", but, following my work in
Travels of New Azeroth
, I decided to change it to Miriam, after Gumball's undead hunter in that RP.
Character: Miriam Magebow
undead hunter
- Wether she becomes a cousin or a sue-ish sister as I had originally pictured her, she's going to have a tainted past, and a good number of skills from my
dark ranger
idea.
-
End.

WHAT ABOUT VALINARIA!
I have a plan...
/poke
Might want to admit where she really came from Morec heh.
The idea's mine, I've given credit for the name, though.
Post by

This preview was brought to you by the word:
Scourgelord
The next day
- "Keep mining, men!" Tirion yelled, "we're nearly finished!"
- After the Scourge attack on the Argent Vanguard, Tirion had decided it best to quickly complete the construction of the compound. By digging out, shaping, and consecrating stones from the immediate area - as well as importing goblin-crafted stones - they had been bale to double their productivity.
- Much to their relief, the Scourge had also fallen back - to a certain point. Tirion had ordered an attack on Scourgeholme hours earlier, but the undead had managed to fight it back, their nerubian minions webbing up the pass they had used and preventing any kind of second attack.
