There's no clear consensus on how the Catacombs came to be. Some have suggested that it began as a bandit camp, a place carved out by rogues and vagabonds for their personal use. Others say it was a powerful Necromancer's keep, a cave sculpted into a palace by a thousand undead drudges.

No one really felt a need to catalogue the history of a hole in the ground. It existed and, for most of its denizens, that was enough.

However it began the Catacombs now stands as a place for the marginalized and shunned to congregate and live in moderate peace. It has gained a sort of name for itself as a place where warlocks, cultists and extremists live side-by-side (And with a minimum of bloodshed) with rogues, assassins and Old Horde adherents.

What fragile peace it holds, however, was earned by its relative anonimity. Though it is well known in the appropriate circles the Catacombs has done little to draw the attention of those who would do it harm. Whether that will last, however, is something to see.

The shimmering sun burned high upon its perch in the sky, beating down on the common folk of Silvermoon City's Bazaar. Amongst the crowd of heads, a single courier took his place atop one of one of the many available fixtures, finding a bench suitable for his podium. A few heads turned at first, but true silence wasn't garnered until he rang out, his voice deep and rich as it drew the entire crowd to an awed silence.

"Hear me, brothers and sisters! Hear the decree of your Regent Lord, LorThemar!"

At the lord's name, the entire crowed had grown to an eerie silence, the field of emerald eyes locked upon the courier.

"The Isle of Quel'Danas, the location of our most holy Sunwell had hence been reclaimed through much bloodshed of our own and others alike. Through the toil of your brothers and sisters, Dawnstar Village has been repaired, fit to support us once more! For those who seek shelter, many homes have been made available. For those who seek employment, the Isle still needs men and women alike to help defend its shores from the vile naga, or even to help rid of what debris had been left in the wake of the Sunwell's reclamation. Glory to the Sin'dorei!"

A while ago I managed to find a spellchecker plugin for the forum. Unfortunately, it didn't actually work (I had assumed it was because the host server didn't have the script that it needed). After some research, I managed to get it working!

Now, folks can check their spelling within the post box (just click the "Check Spelling" button between the "Post Thread" and "Preview Post" buttons).

I'm aware several browsers have built-in spell-checking, but hopefully this will help folks further!

(And yes, this was totally news-worthy.)
