The Battle for Tol Barad: Act 2
The Southern Island has been steeped in mystery and magic ever since the beleaguered survivors of the Baradin Wardens fled, just over six months ago. Since then a Lich of great power has made the prison complex his own home and fortress. The Wardens estimate their losses to be near the One Thousand mark, with nearly six hundred soldiers dead or missing, and roughly half that in Prison staff. They stand with the Alliance, eager to reclaim their Island and avenge their fallen comrades.
The Horde are eager to do battle, as well. Hellscream's Reach, arriving around six months ago, set out with the goal of conquering the small island chain for their Warchief, but have since realized that there are greater threats at play. With their own recent defeats against the Alliance for dominance of the Tol Barad Islands, they too have also felt the sting that the Lich has given. Many of the Warchief's finest have gone missing since arriving on this island, and many more of their honored dead have been found exhumed or stolen before they had the chance to be sent home to Orgrimmar. Beaten and bloodied, these warriors are ready to make battle against the Lich and his sinister allies, even if it means a truce with the Alliance.
In the wake of the active Lich, the stalwart Knights of the Ebon Blade have come pledging their support to the blooded men and women of Tol Barad.
Arriving on the backs of skeletal gryphons, these redeemed immortal sons and daughters of Azeroth seek to rid the Islands of this dastardly threat.
Come with banners of a rising sun over a background of pale silver, the Argent Crusade has made landfall as well.
Through a call to arms they seek to end the foul places of evil upon the Island. The Sons and Daughters of the Light come to smite the wicked, for Tol Barad is ripe with sin.
"Come, children, for that is what you are. Toddlers amongst the doings of the Grown. After the death of the King, I have looked into the Eye. You cannot hope to stop me, as I serve a higher power. Even Arthas is pale in comparison to That which has granted me power everlasting. So come, I say. You will help build my Armies in one form or another. The entire World shall know of the power of Kan'thirez, for you shall be my messengers."

Hey folks! Some OOC Information!
First off; the Battle for the Southern Island begins tomorrow! The votes have been tallied (lazily) and you have spoken! The Joint Forces will strike the Ironclad Garrison tomorrow at 3pm Server Time! Horde, Alliance, Argents, Ebon Bladesmen, Kirin Tor! All are welcome to share in the glory that is Tol Barad.
The Argent Crusade has a camp on the North Island, making the quaint village of Rustberg their base of operations on Tol Barad!
The Ebon Blade has also encamped on the Forgotten Hill, keeping a vigil over the many souls buried there since the Second War.
All NPC's on the Island are now friendly to both Horde and Alliance!
This does Not mean that Horde members should be in any of the Alliance bases like Farson Hold, Wellson, or the Baradin Camp. It also means that the Alliance should not be in the Hellscream Camp. These factions may be in a temporary truce, but it does not mean that the soldiers can move about freely in the territory of the other Faction. For Neutral characters, be sure to wear your Tabards or Banners should you seek to RP in the area of another faction.
Thank you! I cannot begin to express just how happy I am that so many people have taken interest in Tol Barad! So thank you all once again, and I will see you tomorrow!
