Blizzard, please clean up the garbage- OOC post
I’m going to bitch about Blizzard and how they handle the community. Not about Shadowlands. Not about anything other than the absolutely abysmal way that they handle player reporting and they just continue to allow proven abusers continue to play their games. I have screens and details below the cut, but here’s the tl;dr. TRIGGER WARNING: This involves transphobic hate speech, as well as, sexual assault mentions and pedophilia. John/Mark Connor( Johnalina Connor, Larry Connor, A Kaldorei also named John Connor, Rose Connor, Jenny Connor, and a forsaken version of John Connor) is known for some really disgusting things. Most includes sexual assault RP, pedophilia, being a racist, and a very very loud transphobe.(These incidents were compiled by the Stormwind City Watch.
Last night he said, verbatim that Trans people must die, messaged me “Fuck off, Transgender monster supporter” to which I replied “Go fuck yourself, pedophile.”
Then I reported him. Then much to my surprise, I logged in to find that I have a 24 hr silence on my account.

TRIGGER WARNING/ TW: Transphobic Hate Speech
Hello there! Being as I was involved in this instance, I wanted to offer a few points of clarification on the screenshots & Blizzard’s response.
Below this line is where the transphobic content is. You’ve been warned.

((Going OOC for a moment. This needs to be known. John Conner and his “clan” should be avoided and reported whenever possible. This behavior is utterly foul.))
The Void Incident in Stormwind 8/05
From the desk of Highlady Thoranis:
It is no great secret that the Conclave seeks an end to the corruption of the void. As antithesis of the Holy Light, the void is an enemy to us just the same as undeath is. It is a foul force and a stain upon the bodies and souls of those who attempt to wield it. However, it also taints those who do not seek it. More than one innocent has been caught in the wake of the faithless who bring this corruption into the world. One such soul recently began seeking us out in the hopes that we might purify her body and spirit so she could return to the embrace of the Light. Her corruption was entirely unwelcome, and unfortunately very extensive. We could not perform the ritual by brute force without explosive repercussions that might claim the lives of the faithful as well as the poor patient.
And so, she was turned away with regret.
Yet just tonight, the elf woman (who will remain nameless for now) returned. She came with news that a quel’dorei arcanist believed he could surgically remove the corruptive tumors and purify her body with the help of an infusion of azerite and the Holy Light. Those present joyfully agreed to assist: myself, Lieutenant Carlisle, Crusader Altham, and Crusader Schnidt. The man performing the operation had arranged for a clean space in the cathedral basement; we all agreed that sanctified ground was the best option. An additional ring of blessed salts was used to act as a barrier for any corruptive material that may escape.
I will not burden the reader with a step-by-step listing of the procedure, but I will state that the internal corruption was far beyond what I ever expected. May we all pray to never see such horror again! Lieutenant Carlisle’s salt ring proved a wise choice. The corruption manifested as a monster that defies description, but with faith and great valor it was defeated and the last remnants of the void were purged from the patient. Yes, reader, she survived. The operation was a success, though only time will tell the extent. Great is the Light in all its glory!
I publicly commend Lieutenant Carlisle, Crusader Altham, and Crusader Schnidt for their heroism and stalwart faith in the face of unspeakable evil. They behaved as true soldiers of the Light and I am tremendously proud.
It remains to be seen if this method will aid in our own fight to save the mind, body, and soul of another. Still, this is valuable data that may yet serve us. If nothing else, let this be a lesson to us all in the Light’s immeasurable power and righteousness.
Glory to the Light, and victory to the Scarlet Crusade!
((Huge thank you to Nerinth and Laeandra for hosting this impromptu event tonight! We had a blast and if I knew your blogs I would tag you! Also huge thank you to Nyth with the Stormwind University for their help and research that you can see here at www.stormwind-university.com//forums/viewtopic.php?p=40097666&gid=453663#40097666
An updated map of Redholm, based on the most up to date reports. The following is a statement from the Highlord: The last few days have been days of triumph, for now, the settlement of Strathford has been reduced to nothing more than a smoldering wreck, and even now the smoke chokes the air above those lands, acting as a monumental column to the failures of their leaders, and the lack of resolve amongst their people.With this integral part of that supposititious governance wiped from the map, their operations will surely be crippled, as they will lack a logistical and industrial center from which to strike out at the truly faithful with the ill-gotten gains, stolen away from the good people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. However, the true target of our assault, their Governor Kerularios, eluded us, not by skill and strength of arms, nor by any other honorable method. No, our enemy left behind an impostor to take the fall for him, letting some useless runt die in his stead, with him having escaped deeper into his own territory, into the wilderness, continuing his war against the faithful. Know that our enemies have only cowardice and deception to bear to us, for they too fully know that their hearts and bodies are too weak to without our assaults. Glory under the Light. Glory to the Scarlet Crusade. @highlord-thoranis
The second volume of my bestiary series has been released. This one focuses more intensely on Demons and Fel. Once more, Dalaran’s printing presses have been leveraged to distribute copies to any interested parties or Hunters. The book can be picked up free of charge with no issue.
[[ Full Book is a 42 page PDF. Can be downloaded/viewed on googledocs. Do what you’d like with it. :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/18k3iE-xYGMR7jkgnYsHC-bM_qSLVoB_O/view ]]
Another fine piece of work. I’m happy to report that copies will be held in the archives for any who wish to learn.
Post-battle scowl
Regarding The Brill Incident:
By now the report made by Crusader-Lord Schacktorn has likely made the rounds, but I felt that my own could be added. As he stated: our scouts in the region noted looting efforts being carried out by the undead near Brill. Such an insult could not be tolerated, and so the Highlord mobilized a small group of crusaders while Grand Crusader Fairwalker prepared a larger force to assist. On arriving, we noted elves with the undead looters. One proved to be some sort of banshee, and it is with great satisfaction that I can report that it was put down after a harrowing fight.
As our Highlord is merciful, the desecrators were notified of their transgressions and given the opportunity to submit to painless execution. They did not submit. Battle was joined and it was immediately evident that the enemy forces called on evil magics. Demons entered the fray, and a number of hexes weakened the forces of the Conclave. This proved to be a small blessing as it provided me a chance to test the new procedures for de-cursing. I am pleased to report that the “Untangling” procedure was most effective, and all Arcanists regardless of rank or speciality should endeavor to master the method immediately.
Grand Crusader Fairwalker and her forces made a very effective pincer maneuver by circling to flank the looters. Her tactical awareness deserves noting: her actions made for a much cleaner fight than might otherwise have been. Though we sustained injuries, not a single Crusader was lost. Unfortunately, only one of the looters was cut down. The others managed to flee in an unsurprising act of cowardice. Still, all the materiel was recovered and will soon be distributed among those who are in the most need. Food from the supplies is already allocated to be given to our southern brothers and sisters of Westfall and Stormwind, I pray that it helps to ease their suffering.
My heart swells with pride in each of our Crusaders. Your faith and stalwart honor in the face of hellfire is an inspiration. There is not a single one of you that I am dissatisfied with. Crusader-Lord Schacktorn has already named several worthy of distinction, but I believe that Crusaders Ashenmore and Carlisle also deserve praise for their teamwork and skills. Wrathcaster Fox as well impressed me with her steady nerve in the face of what can undoubtedly have been a sobering encounter with the results of indiscreet dark magic usage.
Although the foul desecrators escaped, I implore you all to think of this as the victory it was. The Light is with us, as always, and has granted us the boon of not only the recovered supplies, but a bolstered reputation as well! I know that word of this rout will be spread through the shambling ranks of vultures who wish to pick our homeland to bones. Let them all know: The Scarlet flame yet burns brightly in Lordaeron and the children of the Light shall not falter in our mission to preserve our homeland! ((As an OOC note: Thanks a TON to @kottkrig, @isei-silva, @glitchphil, @kristal and everyone else who was involved! I had so much fun and I hope you guys did too. You’re all fantastic rpers and I can’t wait to meet up again! <3))
Some curious propaganda pieces have begun to filter south from the Northern reaches of Lordaeron. I’ve seen them springing up as far south as Stormwind… They’re not even mine, either. Peculiar. Someone must be trying to steal my job.

While not as polished as our own literature, the author is quite passionate and seems to have their values in proper places. I pray that they are genuine. A Menethil prince! Just imagine! I will pray for the boy’s safety and implore that all other crusaders do the same.
I’ve compiled together my thoughts on the Undead in my own personal Bestiary. Dalaran’s printing presses have been leveraged to distribute copies to any interested parties or Hunters. [[ Full Document is a 24 page PDF. Can be downloaded/viewed on googledocs. Have fun with it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aPXQFjtl9vEe2t7luB9z_iSIW7oTkTFv/view ]]
Useful read for any aspiring Crusader. Fine work!
I usually prefer my saints on the living side… But… That makes them rather difficult to be canonized, doesn’t it?
The propaganda presses continue to turn, no matter the end destination and no matter the subject matter.
Operations report and Public Notice
From the Desk of Highlady Eirdwen Thoranis: Regular operations have resumed. An increase in patrols is to be expected and all able-bodied Crusaders are asked to sign up with their captains for further missions. Conflict with the rebels has been slowing as of late and scout reports indicate that all traitor factions are occupied with the Cult of the Damned. They have, by all appearances, taken heavy losses in all cases. The Light is clearly with us, as our borders have been holding and our losses have been minimal. In one week’s time the Highlord will lead us on a mission into traitor-held lands to rout a group of Scourge that are wreaking havoc. Although these traitors are now our enemy, they were once our brothers. Let us pray that they will see the error of their ways and seek forgiveness. May the Holy Light continue to favor us in all that we do, particularly now in this time of terror. It is with deep sorrow that I must confirm the rumors: one of the Old Gods of Void has been awoken. The Kirin Tor has confirmed this, as well as others. This Great Enemy deals in lies and misdirection, maddening and confusing it’s victims. Those who use void and shadow, or shamanic ties to the earth are most susceptible though any could fall victim. If yourself or anyone you know begin to hear whispers, see shadowy beings, or suspect void corruption for any reason: seek out the Inquisition immediately. Decursing has proven somewhat effective in breaking the madness; anyone with arcane leanings is requested to report to myself or the Inquisition for instruction. We must be vigilant, now more than ever. Our faith bolsters us and protects us. May we all walk from this shadowed nightmare unscathed and ever bathed in glory. Light bless and protect you all.
Meeting Held on 10/26
I will keep this report brief:
It is with great joy that I announce that three of our Crusaders have been elevated in position. Tonight’s meeting was in their honor, so that the new titles might be properly introduced.
Tiberius O’Sullivan is now officially Armsmaster, in recognition of his efforts to better train the faithful as well as his long and dependable service. Should any crusader desire further combat training they are encouraged to seek out our new Armsmaster.
Charles Schacktorn was also recognized and elevated to Lord-Crusader. This title carries with it increased pay as well as greater access to the Conclave’s Reliquary of various artifacts and recovered items. Given his wise use of the magic items in his care, I am confident that he will use all resources to their greatest potential.
Finally, Rhuna Redmane has been named High Protector. Her service as my bodyguard proved her to be a uniquely adept guardsman and we look forward to seeing her wisdom spread to the others of the guard.
All three have been granted tabards fitting of the Crimson Legion and of their faithful service. May the Light bless and keep them in their new duties.
Addendum:
No further intelligence has been found on the sorcerer who so badly wounded our forces weeks back. Given that he is missing an arm and uses uncouth magics that the Light must surely reject, I can only pray that he bled to death after escaping through his portal. All crusaders and civilians are tasked with remaining vigilant in the face of this uncertainty.
Been a bit since I’ve got a proper report done. Better late than never.
Report sent to @highlord-thoranis and @eirdwen for further documentation.
It goes without saying that Inquisitor Duskveil will be keeping a watchful eye out for the curse as well. Our best and brightest healers and arcanists stand ready to help as needed, we can only pray that the matter continues to bore them.
The First Pearl Recovered!
As some are aware, the Highlord led an expedition last night to recover a relic of vague but unmistakable importance. Research on the nature of a rumored “Pearl of Dioscorus” led us to a town long-since abandoned. It stings my soul to see our hard work in such disarray; Light willing, that town will soon be fully cleansed and inhabited once more. For now, it will suffice to say that the place was a shambles. Rather than examine the ruin, the Highlord, Charles Schacktorn, Crusader McFife, and I made haste to the cemetery crypt where we believed the tomb of Saint Dioscorus would hold the pearl we sought. Haste did not prevent us from pausing along the way to eliminate a few clusters of walking dead that had been raised.
I must here interrupt my own report to implore all who settle these lands to cremate the dead. So much time and effort can be saved with this one precaution! The ghouls that we encountered were hardly a fight, but in large enough numbers even mice can be deadly. Blessedly, only I was careless enough to be wounded and the injury was only a scratch. The Highlord was kind enough to observe the wound all night and declared it free of infection or corruption. Even this minor annoyance could have been avoided by diligent burning of bodies!
At this time Crusader Asteria joined us after having her departure from Redholm City somewhat delayed. Now together as a full group, we entered the crypt and slew the revolting deathknight that we encountered guarding the tomb’s door. Crusader McFife landed a particularly spectacular killing blow and should be commended for that, as well as for his uniformly impressive combat performance all evening. With the foul corpse dispatched (and burned properly) we found ourselves faced with a riddle: “What is it when given one, you have either two or none?” To save the reader a list of lewd suggestions, the answer was “a choice”.
The correct answer opened the tomb, where we found the coffin tragically empty, but the pearl present. An inscription spoke of a vague curse on the artifact, but Crusader Captain Schacktorn retrieved it with no ill effects. The inscription was likely a lie. A matter of note: it seems that “Saint Dioscorus” did not rest well. He is once again walking as a necromantic monster. It goes without saying that it is our sworn duty to see him put back to rest, and so we shall.
Overall, the mission was a smashing success. All should be praised for their service, with the exception of those of us who were injured due to our own carelessness. Let the lesson be to treat every encounter with utmost gravity, and use training exercises to test new armor or equipment.
A fairly successful mission if I do say so myself. Report tendered to @highlord-thoranis and @eirdwen
Aren’t Abominations adorable? Truly… They give Vig a run for his money when it comes to bulk.
I felt a twinge of guilt in staying home from this mission, but the Light saw fit to assuage my misgivings. Well done, Crusaders! Every inch reclaimed strengthens us further!
Well, it’s unfortunately too common to see a brain rotted and maddened Death Knight wandering the city. Luckily the creature didn’t attack a civilian or anything and we were able to put it down without… too many issues…
A win for the living. It picked the wrong fight in its addled state.
Incident report handed off to @highlord-thoranis and @eirdwen
As happy as I am to hear that all ended well, the Stormwind Guard have much to answer for if a ghoul was allowed to rampage through the city. I should hope that the King takes this as a lesson to better staff the streets!
