Call to Arms: For The Alliance!
The Horde, it comes, a blood-crazy band,
Of barbarians, and other such ilk,
They bring into our homeland fair,
The scent of death; the smell of fear.
War break along kingdom's land,
And armies come at last to hand,
Against the Horde, the ravaging beasts,
We'll fight, we'll die, to the last man.
The end is coming. You saw it once, when the Burning Legion came. You see it again, in the shape of a mindless horde. These are brutal orcs, and cursed undead; there are the unholy trolls and the shamanistic tauren tribes. The foolish, power-hungry Blood Elves march within their ranks. This will be stopped.
The drums of war thunder, once again.

19:00 Game time.Location:
Bael Modan, stronghold of the Dwarves in The Barrens. Meet at Ratchet, a guide will bring you to the fortress.Event details:
Again, the Horde have come, and they plague our lands with their petty attacks. Two of our mightiest leaders, the Prophet Velen and the Arch Druid, Fandral Staglem are close to death. The High Priestess has been assaulted. It is only a matter of time before assaults upon the Mountain of Ironforge and the City of Stormwind themselves come to pass. Who will stand for this?
The Loch Modan Marksmen, the mightiest soldiers of the High King, are issuing a Call to Arms, against the Horde that beset the land!
Rise up, men and women of the Alliance, rise from your farms, from your houses, from your towns and cities; rise, rise and fight! Take arms against this Horde and drive it back into the land from which it came! Put aside your petty squabbles, for the world is endangered by these foul creatures!
The towers burn already! We will drive them further! We will have peace, and peace will come at a cost! That cost, my friends, is them! Ride out! Ride to the Keep, ride for the Alliance!
Muster your stength! Defend your homeland! For the glory of the Grand Alliance, to arms! To arms against this foul Horde!
WE WANT YOU
The Marksmen are again recruiting! not only those who wish to fight in the name of their own masters, but any wishing to join The Loch Modan Marksmen should also come, and join in this glorious moment.
The drums thunder. We are at war, once again.
The Details
- For your own safety, bring as many men as possible to protect you. We want to see whole armies of soldiers marching around outside, taking out threats while the commanders host the War Council. All of this will be guarded by soldiers of the Marksmen.
- Weapons must be left outside, in case anybody tries to sneak an attack upon the commanders.
- Military orders are especially welcome, as long as they are willing to fight the Horde.
Timetable
19:00 - Outriders from The Loch Modan Marksmen arrive in Ratchet. They will create a raid group of everybody coming. Five minutes' wait for people that are late.
19:05 - Outriders set out for Bael'dun Keep with those answering the Call to Arms. This is the most dangerous part of the Call, travelling close to many Horde strongpoints.
19:30 - Enlistment and Welcome begins. Anybody wishing to sign up for The Loch Modan Marksmen will be admitted into the regiment by one of our staff, while military commanders and other soldiers will be formally welcomed to Bael'dun. This may be shorter than half an hour. This will give us more time for the probably sprawling...
21:00 - War Council. Soldiers will be sent on patrols of the Keep, guard duty and other such affairs while the commanders and tacticians hold the council.
21:00 onwards - Whatever the outcome may be, it will be carried out now. This may result in dead Hordelings.
OOC details:
Standard guidelines:
- PVP OFF PLEASE. WE'VE ALREADY HAD NOOB HORDE PVPERS RUIN IT FOR US. DO NOT COME WITH PVP ON. THEY ARE NOOBS, AND THE NAMES OF THESE NOOBS ARE: XAOR (LEVEL 70 ORC SHAMAN), AMORN (LEVEL 70 UNDEAD WARRIOR), NÉMIS (LEVEL 70 UNDEAD). Thanks for that.
- We are going to war, undoubtedly, therefore RP armour themed around this idea would be best.
- As a lot of people do not know the way to Bael Modan, a small party of Marksmen will be waiting to escort you there from Ratchet.
- This has been publically announced around the Alliance cities by heralds, therefore is open to every able-bodied man or woman of the Alliance. However, since the Horde won't have been around when this is yelled, it is unlikely that they will be arriving to hear of the war plans, 'kay? Basically, don't bring your tauren. Or troll. Or orc. Or undead. Or that blood elf.
- We would like this to be done without the meta-gaming aspect. Therefore, only come if you're prepared to fight for the Alliance, and not because you want to find out information for your Horde characters.
- As usual, it's serious RP. The Marksmen involved should know that brackets are banned, and to use emotes instead. Please, acknowledge this and don't fill our Ic with OOC. We don't want any goldspammers, lolcats or the usual Goldshireans (not that you get many on this site).
- A raid group will be made, watch out in Barrens General Chat for who is organizing it.
- Try not to yell at people so much that they go deaf.
