(( In celebration of my finals finally being over, I present you with Page 7 early. Next week, though, I go back to the regular schedual. ))
- "I doubt that they will be of much assistance, my king," Morec said. "Powerful they may be, but I feel that they lack the refined tactical mastery that would make them helpful in leading an army."
- "
I do not ask that you approve, Scourgelord
," the Lich King said, "
I ask that you all work to bring the end to the Argent Crusade and all who oppose me. Besides, you will find they are just as intelligent as you
."
- "Yes, my king," Morec said, realizing his error.
- "
Now go
," the Lich King commanded, "
I have sent more soldiers to Scourgeholme. It is from there that you will command them against these mortals
."
- "As you command, my king," Morec and Miriam said.
- "In your glorious name, master," said Nalor and Anuk'arag.
- The four Scourge departed for Scourgeholme.
...
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 able 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.
- Tirion walked back into the compound and up to where he could overseer the whole place. The Ebon Watcher was waiting for him.
- "The Lich King reacted swiftly to the breach," Tirion said. "Faster than I anticipated."
- "You are dealing with a being that holds within its consciousness the most cunning, intelligent, and ruthless individuals to ever live," the disguised Highlord said grimly. "The Lich King is unlike any foe you have faced, Highlord. Although you bested him upon the holy ground of Light's Hope Chapel, you now tread upon
his
domain."
- He shook his head. "No, you cannot win. Not like this..."
- "Tirion looked over at hte death knight. ‘What would you have me do, Darion?"
- "Nothing," the Ebon Highlord said bluntly, "there is nothing you
can
do while the Light binds you. Is controls you wholly, shackling you to the ground with its virtues."
- Tirion was enraged. "Choose your words wisely, death knight. You stand amidst the company of the devoted."
- Darion shook his head again. "Look upon the field, Highlord. The Lich King has halted your advance and completely won the upper hand!" He motioned towards the northwest. "The breach you created was sealed with nerubian webbing almost as quickly as it was opened. Your soldiers are being used as living shields to stave off artillery fire in the Valley of Echoes, allowing the Lich King so assault your base without impediment."
- Darion's face hardened. "The Lich King knows your boundaries, Highlord. He knows you will not fire on your own men. Do you not understand? He has
no
boundaries.
No
rules to abide."
- Trion glared at the death knight. "We will do this with honor, Darion. We will
not
sink to the levels of the Scourge in order to be victorious. To do so would make us no better than the monster that we fight to destroy!" Why wouldn't the boy understand?
- Darion just sighed. "Then you have lost, Highlord."

Nice copy and paste
*cough*
That was the idea, though. I set out in writing The Frozen North with two goals in mind: make it awsome, and tie it in with the actuall game as best I could.
And what better way to achive the second then use in-game dialouge?

Hmm, if it's in-game, I say Jacob should be the one to craft Shadowmourne!
Or maybe you planned for Nilon to do that O.o

A Twilight refference, reffering to an actual NPC, or miss-named a TFN character?

Heh, only problem: Jason is a protection warrior.

So am I, but that doesn't mean I didn't pickup an axe (arms spec, heh) and wouldn't switch when needed.
But Nilon could also be the guy that's suppose to do that =P

Morec0
Hmm, true.
More likely then not, Nilon will.
EDIT: And it's in-game, but it has to also fit lore.
Example: any class has a chance to put up a fight against Morec...
All those fights are over fairly fast...

Writer's Commentary:
- A relatively short and meaningless page... or is it?
- Yeah, it is.
- As I stated, I set out to make my writing fit with the game more, and that makes itself more apparent in the next page. Of course I'll have to take my own liberties every now and then, but they'll be worth it... I think.
- Nilon reappears in the next page, and we see more from Morec! What lies in store?

Valinaria better show up on the next page, or else......
Umm.... How would the... I think it's 4th... chapter sound?

Heh, in Light and Death I suppose I should be thanking you for letting me use her.
In this, though, yes. Yes you should.

- Nilon awoke and tried to sit up, but holy energy bound him down, the light from is obscuring his sight. "Don't move," a male voice said.
- "I-I've been through this before," Nilon said. "I'm not one of the Scourge."
- "Oh, it's not that," the voice said, "it's just if you move you'll disrupt my work. That death knight did a number on you, healing his wound isn't easy."
- "Oh, um... sorry."
- The voice laughed heartily. "No worries, I've seen it hundreds of times before... There, all done." The light faded, and Nilon's vision slowly returned. He saw the man that had been talking with; a human with brown hair and suited in paladin armor.
Has Jason taken up a new class?
