a word of warning
well here’s a post i never thought i’d be making
it’s come to my attention that a Certain Someone is planning on making a comeback to WrA soon and it fills me with nothing short of dread. i spent the day yesterday warning people he terrorized and manipulated that this was happening. you know it’s bad when there’s a literal network of people who share an abuser that have remained in contact for years in the event this happened again.
i am not going to lie and say that making this post does not terrify me but i cannot in good conscience sit back and let him worm his way into the rp scene again and do what he did to me and at least half a dozen others all over again.
to summarize: tarcanus aka tarcanus frostborne is a manipulative, emotionally abusive and predatory individual that should be avoided at all costs.
i am the player behind lyrinel, a former officer of his and someone who was on the receiving end of nearly a years worth of abuse and manipulation. my experiences pale in comparison to those of others who dealt with him and came forward to me after i left his guild, and i cannot speak for anyone who does not feel comfortable coming forward. if you do want to let your voice be heard, feel free to reblog and add your own anecdotes.
my story below the cut.
tw: manipulation, emotional abuse, gaslighting, coercion, grooming
I am the player behind Thradia and I can corroborate this story.
I am not comfortable putting my own trauma on display to be analyzed at length just for a chance at being believed. You can take me at my word or you can leave it, I don’t quite frankly care. But I was terrorized for a year by a man ten years my senior when I was eighteen years old, questioning my sexuality, and with multiple undiagnosed mental illnesses that I was struggling to balance with my job and attending college full time. I was manipulated and gaslit by someone that I trusted and saw as an older brother figure.
I can talk about how this man got it in his head that I wanted to date him, how he thought it was disappointing that I was identifying as asexual, how me saying “stop, I’m gay” in regards to him flirting with me was a personal attack. I can talk about how he gaslit me until I wasn’t sure what was a real memory and what wasn’t in regards to my friend’s death. I can talk about he tried to manipulate me until I hated my best friend and was convinced she hated me, all because he said so. I can talk about so much more than that, and I have the Skype logs to prove it.
But I don’t want to. Because I shouldn’t have to. It’s no one’s business but my own. And if you don’t want to believe me, or Lyrinel, or the half a dozen people that have had the same experiences with him, then that’s fine. But I’m not going to stop saying it.
I was an eighteen year old girl barely out of high school with deeply internalized lesbophobia struggling with her mental health, of course I was easily manipulated, and Tarcanus took advantage of this. I let him terrorize me for a year. I was too scared to fight back.
I’m not scared anymore.
A break from art, and a return to some less than savory memories. To those in the WoW RP community that follow me: this is a series of posts I ask you to read and keep in mind. I know it might be seen as “drama”, but the experiences detailed here deeply impacted my life, the lives of my two friends above, and multiple other people in the WRA community. So all that said, here’s my account.
Most of the above warnings apply, but I will restate: warning for discussion of alcohol(ism), manipulation, brief ableism, coercion.
Tarcanus Frostborne is a name that a lot of my close friends know, and not for any of his public achievements. When he knew me I went by the name Dem and played the character Bebe Valasar.

Hi everyone. I’m a bit late to all of this, and this Tumblr has been inactive for ages, but I decided to add my voice in as well. People from MOP-era might know me as Alyriel – one of the officers of Coram Populo. I was in my freshman year of high school when I joined Coram, in approximately 2014; I stayed until the guild went on hiatus in approx. my junior year.
The most striking memory I have of that entire three years is a pretty good example of what everyone else has already mentioned about Tarc – the guild was a job, we were employees, and that was all that mattered. I don’t think I was even an officer at this particular point; truth be told, I don’t remember. I was out with family a few hours before an event. Server time is something like 2 hours ahead of my time zone, but I was busy and brushed it off (somehow convinced myself it was 2 hours behind). I got home, logged on, and realized I was on the tail end of an event I had signed up for.
I joined voice, and Tarc completely ripped into me about how I had signed up for the event, and it was my responsibility to be there on time if I said I was going. When I tried to explain myself, he reminded me that any employer I’d work for in the future would expect me to be responsible and keep appointments and be on time (keeping in mind, this was a RP event I had missed). He continued to tear me apart about it until I muted myself because I was having a panic attack. Somehow, I convinced myself he was right, I was wrong, and moved on – it has taken me quite a while to realize that wasn’t the case.
On a smaller level, there wasn’t a whole lot of respect in general. I was promoted toward the middle/end of CP to officer. Unlike the other officers, I didn’t have a proper title – when asked, I believe I was told ‘new member liason’ or something like that. I later found out through other officers that my promotion had been because I had been there longer than most of the other officers, and that it looked bad for me not to be an officer as well.
Piggybacking on Dem’s statement regarding his drunk antics – I would often get Skype calls at 1 AM from an absolutely hammered Tarc (usually with Dem in call as well) and he would guilt me about hanging up and going to bed, even when I did have school the next morning. I don’t really have a composed and eloquent way to wrap this up – I just thought I’d chime in with my experiences as well.
