“Commoner, noble, living, and undead alike gather for another night before a fireplace spent among questionable company.”
“Our Orcish allies have gathered to once more observe the seasonal shifts of the passage of time. For such an occasion as the seasons slip into the cold dark of winter, we reflect on the life cycle. As such, we were honored guests, chosen to speak for the honored dead to convey messages of hope, love, and grim warnings on the final night of this festival. On this night, we gathered hearts from slain beasts, and had the orcs make offerings of blood, maiming the heart in a fashion of their choice and from that damage reading their fates. When we ran out of hearts, the orcs made offerings of their own blood, opting to engage in ceremonial cuttings of their flesh to commune with their dead.” – Sister Tenacity
“We ride, we ride of our loved ones. We ride for our children, we ride for our mothers and fathers, and we ride for our sisters and brothers. We ride for every life stolen from us by the plague of undeath, and the cruelty of the Scourge. May we never forget that which was stolen from us, that which we loved.” -Sister Beatrice Of The Shadow, Cult Of Forgotten Shadow, Sect Of The Shovel Of Mercy
As Hallow’s End descends upon Azeroth once more, the Forsaken rally once more to celebrate their liberation from the Lich King. In remembrance of the fallen, the festivities this year will begin with a rally and ride in memory of the Fallen Kingdom of Lordaeron, and for the Horde who died defending the Undercity.

If you are curious about the Moon Guard rp server, we recommend checking out this video which highlights many wonderful aspects of our community. Several clips and features of the video feature moments captured from the recent Oath Swearing ceremony event. UCN as a guild makes a good number of appearances in this video 🙂
“Liberated of the shackles of a pretender tyrant, we rally under the banner of the Desolate Council, which has taken its name from the first formation of the Desolate Council that Sylvanas saw fit to mercilessly slaughter. Our people see a way forward, free from oppression with a renewed passion for our own identity. Much of this has been spurred on by the return of the rightful claimant and heir to the throne of Lordaeron to us, her people. Calia Menethil has returned, and sits upon the council and is once more among her people. With her rightful claim to the throne among us, we have hope for a new era of peace that the vacant throne could never foster.” – Our Lady Of The Merciful Shadow of Mother’s Wrath, Serasis
“Of the oaths there were three sessions offered. Among those who first bent the knee to the Desolate Council were first the noble household of old Lordaeron. Second were our military, and last were those born of commoner and foreign stock. To see the households of old Lordaeron rally, and return was a sight that I had never dreamt to see once more.” – Deathguard Sargent Gillard Shadowllowgrave
“The Alliance were….less than eager to welcome the formation of the Desolate Council, and to see that the rightful crown of Lordaeron is among the Forsaken. A military represenative was sent north, and he did not have kind words to share. The ire of the Alliance is just one of many insult we suffer with diginity.”
“Reports had reached us that there with an active Alliance military deployment riding north. Once reports confirmed their sighting in the Arathi lowlands, we marshaled our forces and rode out to meet our old foe once more. There was no middle ground to give, so close to the rightful borders of our homes, and upon the old territory defended by the Defilers we would not back down.”
OOC: We had a great rp-pvp battle against The First Regiment as a part of an ongoing campaign regarding Fenris Isle.
