WarCraft: the First War [RP]
If you are interested in joining, please either send me a PM or post on this thread to proclaim said interest. I can help you create your character to ensure it is in accordance to the lore leading up to the events of the First War if you would like.
The Kingdom of Azeroth was a prosperous one. The humans who dwelled there turned the land into a paradise. The Knights of Stormwind, and the Clerics of Northshire Abbey, roamed far and wide, serving the king's people with honor and justice. The well-trained armies of the king maintained a long-lasting peace for many generations. The people of Azeroth were unbeknownst to the fact that the powerful human mage Medivh was seeking a way to destroy this kingdom and wrought terror on the lands. With the help of an other-worldly being named Gul'dan, the two managed to open a portal between their two worlds, a portal which would later became known as the Dark Portal.
Through the portal came the Orcish Horde. The humans did not know from whence these foul creatures came, and none were prepared for the terror that they spawned. Their warriors wielded axe and spear with deadly proficiency, while others rode wolves as black as the moonless night. Unimagined were the destructive powers of their evil magics, derived from the fires of the underworld. Filled with the demonic blood of Mannoroth, these creatures lusted for war and would destroy anything that prevented them from reaching their goal; to conquer Azeroth. With an ingenious arsenal of weaponry and powerful magic, these two forces collided in a contest of cunning, intellect, and brute strength, with the victor claiming dominance over the whole of Azeroth.
The Orcish Horde was formed out of the collection of clans on their homeworld - Draenor. These orcs, once a proud warrior and shamanistic society, had become corrupted by great demons through gifts power and bloodlust. Their first leader, Ner’zhul, was banished, and the warlock Gul’dan assumed the position of strengthening the unified Orcish Horde. Under the influence of the arch-demon, Kil’Jaeden, the orcs put the few other races on their world to slaughter but soon enough, when they ran out of things to kill, they began to turn on themselves. Gul’dan, struggling to keep the Horde from completely imploding, sought desperately for a solution. And then it came…
Medivh, a powerful yet possessed human mage on another world named Azeroth, reached out to Gul’dan and together they would create a portal. This portal would allow the Horde to cross over into Azeroth and they would go after the unsuspecting humans that were their first unfortunate victims. With the portal safely open and a world ripe for the taking, the Orcish Horde has united once again under their Warchief, Blackhand, and their puppeteers, Gul’dan and the Shadow Council.

The Rules
- No god-modding or meta-gaming. This includes unrealistic predictions and planning without any attained knowledge through realistic means. This rule also indicates that your character is not invincible. Should there come a time where your character is injured or winds up dead, then that fate must be accepted.
- Lore (Geographic) Restrictions: This game is designed to revolve around the “First War” of WarCraft. Geographically, it will allow anything south of the Burning Steppes and north of Stranglethorn Vale. The Blasted Lands (as it is called in present WoW) was actually the swampland called Black Morass.
- Lore (Timeline) Restrictions: The lore of this game will start after the Orcish Horde crossed through the Dark Portal and established their three bases. Their main base at the beginning will be Dark Portal Basecamp. Another encampment would be to the north at the location of what would become Dreadmaul Hold (known then as Rockard). The third base would be their forward base of operations at Stonard in the Swamp of Sorrows just north of the Black Morass on the other side of some mountains.
- Characters Restrictions: Each player is allowed up to 3 characters at maximum. If your character suffes an injury or death (anything that prevents the character from taking part in the story for essentially the rest of it) the player can apply for a new character.

Players can play non-lore characters as long as they meet the following criteria: their history must be realistically within the bounds of the lore; they cannot be legendary characters (i.e. Anduin Lothar / Orgrim Doomhammer status); they cannot be as high status as chieftains, kings, or warchiefs (high ranking military officers are OK [such slots will be limited in number]); they must have realistic skill levels (correlating to cannot be legendary).
