IT’S BEEN OVER A CENTURY AND IM FURIOUS
Chloe, I’ve been down this road before.
My son went over to his mom’s about 3 hours late. Then I had a (hard) nap, And now here we are.
All done.
(Or WhatsApp: Probably the Russians.)
Hey hun, Tescos didn’t have any gluten free tomato ketchup
No, I don’t think they even noticed.
Safe travels…
On the bright side I’m preheating the oven
They’re bringing it out now.
I’m back!!!
Finally got my computer replaced and now I can log back on to WoW! Yay me! During my hiatus all my characters have been booted from their guilds, but if you’re looking for new members, maybe send me a message? I’m going to pick one or three characters to focus on.
I’m so damned excited I’m almost giddy. Just have to get caught up, get flying again, fight the lag beast. But who cares!? I can play WoW again.

IC Information
Name: Sarella Bladebeam
Race: Sin’dorei
FC (If Applicable; Picture Optional): Bella Thorne
Can Currently Be Found In: Shuttling between Orgrimmar and Dalaran for social life and endless magic classes, respectively. Poor thing never stops studying.
Would They Be Known: Among mages and scholars, Sarella’s got some small renown; an up-and-comer, someone to keep an eye on in the field of portal physics and dimensional manipulation. She may have assistant-taught a class or authored a paper or two. If you’re a chronomancer, you can likely tell that something is up, but she isn’t saying. To anyone else, she’s more likely known as that elf girl who sells tea and cakes outside of the Wyvern’s Tail, because… hey. Magical reagents ain’t free.
Personality: Gentle and loving, but reserved with her affections – especially in public. Courteous and kind, and always willing to listen, but has difficulty opening up sometimes. Curious to a fault, hardworking and generous. Ambitious, also to a fault. Dedicated and loyal problem-solver.
Language(s): Fluent in Thalassian and Orcish. Terrible at Zandali, but she tries.
Height: 5′5″
Body Type: Classic hourglass.
Eye Color: Fel green.
Hair Color: Ginger!
Age: Adult, though even she’s not sure exactly how old. Time does weird things.
Notable Scars, Marks, etc: None yet!
Tattoos/Piercings: None either.
First Appearances: Smallish and unimposing, Sarella looks every bit the bookworm she actually is. Her hair is a warm, silky ginger held back in place by a simple blue headband, bangs often tousled from busy days bustling here, there, and everywhere with scarcely a moment’s stop. A youthful face, neutral-to-kind in expression just barely betrays perpetual exhaustion fueled by late nights of coffee and candle-lit studies. A pair of bronze-rimmed halfmoon glasses rests squarely atop her nose, occasionally askew.
What To Expect: A cheery baker and portal mage with a heart of gold and more than a little magical geekery. Also expect cake. Lots and lots of cake.
Where I RP: Primarily in-game or on Discord!
I thought of the female character RP blogs I follow when I saw this.
Love that WH40k.
let’s stop seeing sex as the biggest thing you can do to show someone you love them
everyone knows that the real way to show someone you love them is to find them a really cool rock. not a diamond. just a neat rock that you think they will enjoy
Not a rock THE ARKENSTONE
Why just one rock Why not three Why not the silmarils
#i’m pretty sure there’s an entire book on the topic ‘why not silmarils’ (x)
And one on why not the arkenstone
You’re right. Just get them a ring.
…. You know what, let’s just get them flowers and not doom everyone in the process.
Warlock love going out to all the warlocks.
Nice set of pistols, but I love the holsters.

RPing Shadow Abilities
Hello friend! Are you a Shadow Priest in game? Or Shadow Adept/Shadow Fiend/Actual Shadow? I have been RPing my Shadow Priest for roughly three years now and I have had my share of experiences with her talents and abilities in RP situations. I thought I could share what I know, and maybe give you ideas you can use with your RP too!
This is by no means the only way to RP Shadow, Void, or Shadow Priest. What makes RP so amazing is that everyone can come to their own conclusions on how they RP anything, especially when it comes to magic and other ambiguous stuff. But I also know I’ve had a few folks ask me how best to RP Shadow for their new priest so I want to share my take!
-General-
First thing to know about Shadow? It’s -not- kinetic. Unlike Arcane which is energy transferred, or fel which is chaotic or destructive energies, Shadow is entirely based upon the nature of existence. This is partly why I adore it so much. All other magics exist, and can be quantified based upon power. But Shadow is entirely metaphysical in that it is, in essence, the nature of nonexistence. This is what makes it so potent, because we as living things exist. And we can not comprehend what it is to not exist as hard as we may try. So imposing the Void upon the mind is often what breaks it. And it is that very madness that many Shadow users eventually succumb to.
To put it simply, when an arcane wielder kills, you might see burns or broken bones upon the victim. If a fel user kills, expect to see decay or burns as well from the raw destructive and chaotic energies. Shadow will leave the person’s body entirely intact, but the mind will be in various states of discord or perhaps even total nervous system shutdown. That is how you know a Shadow user struck. You see bodies with no apparent injuries.
So we touched on the overall. What about abilities in specifics? I’ll offer you some of the in game abilities and how I have RPed them. I encourage you to explore though! Feel free to use the way that I RP them, but also search for your own methods as well. That’s part of the fun, Shadow lets you put your own twisted flair onto your character’s talents.
Mind Blast
Have to begin with a personal favorite. Mind Blast is a very potent ability but also one of the more ICly devastating ones. Mind Blast is exactly as it sounds. You, the Shadow user, are taking a person and collecting their worst moments. Their horrid memories, their worst pains ever experienced, their deepest fears and their biggest failures. You are taking everything they hold as negative and harmful, hence the ‘cast time’, and then you unleash it upon their mind..all at once. This is more stress then even the strongest individual can withstand, and most people will either mentally shut down or go into a cardiac arrest from the sheer weight of the overload. Mind Blast is a -lot- of fun, and though I have only ever used it on two player characters, both times it was the death of the other character.
Shadow Word: Pain
Another personal favorite. This staple in any Shadow Priest’s arsenal is both fun to use and, depending on your RP partner, fun to react to. Most people I have seen RP it as attacking the nerves. As if you are causing them to send pain signals. This is one way to do it, and as always I encourage everyone to find what they most enjoy, but this is not how I have been doing it. Shadow, like most things, attacks the mind. The nerves themselves are left entirely out of the equation, but you as the Shadow user are in fact causing a massive mental hallucination. You are going for the mind itself, and feeding it sensations of pain from being skinned alive or being burned. The reason I choose this method is it is far more focused and simple. Why attack every nerve in a person’s body when you can instead just trick the brain into false pain signals? This gives you one target, and allows you as the user to titrate how severe or mild the person’s pain is. I have done everything from paper cut levels of pain to full skin-on-fire agony. Play around with it!
Dispersion
Some Priests swear by this ICly, like myself, others choose not to touch it. I adore it because it allows my character to move around with ease and be anywhere despite magical barriers. The essence of Dispersion is to separate it from Blink or other teleportation talents. When a mage blinks, they are fading to energy, and that energy is tunneled forward before being reconstituted. Even teleportation is similar in that you ‘tunnel’ by connecting two points through a tear is space-time. Fel gates work the same, a point A to point B tunnel. But Dispersion in my opinion is a -lot- more fun. You are not ‘teleporting’. You are in fact ceasing to exist. You draw the Shadow up to consume you, and as we talked about, Shadow and Void is the essence of nonexistence. Thus you are swallowed up and entirely stop existing. The key is, when you ‘emerge’, you are beginning existence again. You did not ‘tunnel’ or create a tear. You just stopped being, and started being somewhere else. This is also how Shadow users can replicate their form into mirrors. Because they can not only disperse themselves into nonexistence, but they can draw many ‘thems’ from that same ether into existence. Fun times!
Mind Flay
A real crowd pleaser, this one. I’ve used it IC on a number of occasions and it always gets great reactions. Mind Flay is, again, a lot like it sounds in terms of RP. To flay is to peel away, so now apply that definition to mentality. Boom, you have Mind Flay. With this talent, you are invading another’s thoughts but not directly assaulting them. Instead, you are ‘peeling away’ at their thoughts. I usually RP it that as the victim thinks of anything, my character ‘steals’ it. As memories come up, she claims them. Friends? Gone. Face of wife/husband? Erased. Children? You can’t remember them. Essentially you are ‘peeling away’ at what makes them a person. Their talents, their memories, their knowledge, you are flaying it all away layer by layer. In the end, you leave a husk. Alive in body, but dead of mind. What’s brilliant is that you as the user can choose when it ends. If you want to just erase their knowledge of their kids, you can, and leave them with no memory of the people they once loved but otherwise they are fine. Experiment here, it’s a blast.
Shadow Mend
Another fun one. Other talents like Druidic magic or Light mends wounds by knitting flesh or even accelerating healing. Shadow Mend is strangely different. You are not ‘healing’, you are simply making the wound not exist. This replaces the wounded area with a broken replacement as reality tries to ‘fix’ what is now no more. The issue is that while the wound is gone, it leaves behind the painful memory of that injury that can not be taken away. And because it was never healed properly, the wounded area can remain in pain for months before Light or other treatments can true mend the area. This is why Shadow Mending should be used as a last resort ICly.
Conclusion
These are just some of the more common talents, and ones that I have used often to great RP success and fantastic reactions. Some of the others like Mind Control or Void Eruption are a bit easier to RP and pretty much do what they say in the name. Still, explore your own way to RP it!
In the end, have fun! Shadow is a fantastic canvas to really add some personal flair, and while one user may interact with Void in one way, another user may have a totally different experience. With madness, there is no ‘set way’ to go about it. So I hope you at least enjoyed reading, and have fun!
Shadow keep you.

Revamp and Relaunch!
With how quickly House Reinhardt grew, it was obvious things kind of got a wee bit out of control. But, after two weeks of constant work, we’ve revamped the guild, pulled it back on track and have reestablished its structure! This was all for the betterment of the guild, and our members. Those who had been inactive for a long period of time we’re removed, but should they return to the game we’ll accept them back with open arms. We fixed our recruitment process as well as polished our IC and OOC rules. Now everything is running smoothly again and we couldn’t be happier! This is just a small update for our allies and the like. We also updated our tumblr with links to the Reinhardt Relief Foundation as well as our website which has all the rules and information on the guild! But for now, we look forward to role-playing with you all and weaving amazing stories together. Thanks!
