Briefing
Nearly one and a half months ago, one thousand men and women of the Kingdom of Stormwind and its territories set sail for the Twilight Highlands. Nearly one and a half months ago, one thousand men and women placed their ultimate trust - the trust to live - in not only their King's banner but also their commander. A fleet of five ships, packed to the brim with the battle-ready recruits and veterans of past conflicts, are a mere two days from their landing point. The calm before the storm begins.
Intelligence is at an all-time minimum. Vague references to locations are given in ever vaguer reports, which come very infrequently. No information comes from the Highlands except that it's a living hell. Birds bearing messages of ultimate terror and rumors of the very earth crumbling and rising to fight the soldiers of the Alliance come daily. More recently, troubled reports have come amongst the men - the Dragonmaw orcs are in a frenzy, and they're targeting the Alliance stronghold of Highbank.
With intelligence at such a low point, it is unknown what exactly the troops will walk into as they sail for Highbank's harbor. Whether or not Highbank is already under siege is the debatable issue. However, the officers amongst the men on the ships have agreed that as soon as landfall is made, a portal system with Stormwind would be made. With the help of mercenaries entering through these portals, whatever challenges Highbank may need to care for will be culled.
The Call to Arms is out. The Twilight Highlands are ready to shatter with war.
Phase One: Highbank and the Horde
The eagerly prepped-for storyline in the Twilight Highlands, War in the Highlands, is approaching its official kick-off outside of the Operation Homefront events. The events of War in the Highlands will include a massive-scale battle against both the Dragonmaw orcs, their Horde masters, and the infamous Twilight's Hammer cult. Split into three phases of events, the first phase will focus on the protection of Highbank and the securing of the surrounding region.
Phase One of War in the Highlands will be made up of three events, the first of which will be going down at 3:00 PM Server Time on Sunday, September 29th. There is no limit to participants, as opposed to Operation Homefront, and all Alliance characters are welcome to attend - be you soldier, mercenary, or hero!
I hope to see some faces turn up for the event, as it will involve intense counter-siege combat. Good day to you all.
