Character name: Areda

Background:

Areda was born on Draenor in a small village in Nagrand to labourer parents and he would grow up to become one himself. The elder of the village, an old female draenei priest and a staunch supporter of the Prophet Velen, would often tell stories of the Draenei's exodus, the corruption of Archimonde and Kil'jaeden by the titan Sargeras and how Velen came in contact with the naaru through prayer. The elder chose to accompany Velen along with the other uncorrupted eredar in their search for a new home aswell as a hideout from Kil'jaeden, who vowed to hunt Velen for eternity.
These stories made Areda glad and somewhat proud to be a descendant of an eredar who chose to give up his/her's homeworld instead of being a part of Sargeras' Burning Legion.

Areda spent his entire life on Draenor as a labourer, specialising in the field of extracting various minerals. He made a good living of his job and he lived a good life until the day when the orcs in the neighbouring settlement attacked his village and killed everyone in it. With shere luck, Areda was not in the village at the time of the attack and returned home to find his friends, family and home gone. Present at the scene was an anchorite named Truuen who told Areda that Kil'jaeden had found the draenei under Velen and that he had used one of his orc agents named Gul'dan to turn many of the orcs of Draenor into corrupted fighters for the Burning Legion.Truuen and Areda escaped to the lands of Zangarmarsh where Velen had organized yet another exodus for the few surviving uncorrupted draenei of Draenor after eight years of war against Gul'dan's orcish army.

While in Zangarmarsh, Areda learned that during the draenei's hiding in Zangarmarsh, the blood elves, under the leadership of their fanatic prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, had taken over the naaru fortress Tempest Keep in the former land of Farahlon, which had been turned into a desolate place floating in the nether. Velen knew that the Keep was a chance to flee Draenor and organized an attack on one of the Keep's wings, the Exodar in order the use to travel to another world in hope to find new allies.

Areda fought very little during his life on Draenor, but through his former job he had acquired the strength to match a warrior and took up the sword to fight the orcs and the blood elves. Although new to the arts of leading the life of a warrior, Areda survived the attack on Tempest Keep and when he eyed all his fellow refugees inside the Exodar, he thought about the elder of his village and her past.

When the Exodar crashed on Azeroth, Areda was fatally wounded, but was healed by an old acquaintance, Anchorite Truuen who lost touch somewhere chaos in the war against the orcs. A month or so after the crash, Areda was fully healed and had learned to speak common to a certain degree through the night elves of the Alliance who was aiding the draenei on Azuremyst.
Velen quickly sent draenei representatives to many corners of Azeroth and one of them was Truuen who wondered if Areda also wanted to accompany him to the Scourge-infested land of the Western Plaguelands. Areda understood quickly that the Scourge was a new enemy after landing on Azeroth and thanked yes to Truuen's proposal.

Areda's new home would become the Chillwind Camp in Western Plaguelands and during his time there he learned about the different heroes and villains of Azeroth aswell as perfecting his skill in the common language.
As Chillwind Camp was maintained by the Argent Dawn, an independent organization, both members of the Alliance and the opposing Horde ventured through. Because of this, Areda never saw real hostility between the Alliance and the Horde and started to develop an admiration for independent groups like the Argent Dawn, Cenarion Circle and the Earthen Ring, whose main goal was to take up the fight against those who sought to destroy Azeroth like the Burning Legion and the Scourge, who accepted members of races who is originally at war with each other.

Areda remained in the Plaguelands until the Lich King was defeated and the Scourge's hold of the land was withering. With encouragement from Truuen and the fact that the Argent Dawn was not in need of so much outside manpower any more, he decided to take up the tough path of a warrior aswell as venturing to new places in the great world of Azeroth and maybe returning to his shattered former homeland one day. Following the cataclysm, Areda's new journey started.

Why would Areda want to join Light of Argus?

Areda learned much during his time in the Plaguelands, but his contact with other draenei was little. He seeks to strengthen the establishment of a new home on Azeroth for his race and wish to contribute in any way possible. Areda's ambition is to become a protector of this new world draenei now call their home.

Why would I ,the player, want to join Light of Argus?

Like the draenei, I also took a transdimensional travel from a world of ganking and linguistic anarchy, otherwise known as a PvP realm. I started playing in February and felt misplaced on my former realm. I am a quite fresh player and even fresher on a RP realm (came over in late March/early April, don't remember), but I think I have understood the essentials of RP after reading several threads on this site.

Additional info.

I spent some time reading on different wikis about the Warcraft lore, but if any information about my character doesn't fit, please correct me.
Also, I am very uncertain about the age span for draenei, so I didn't dare put an age on my character just yet.


Looking forward to a reply.

Hello there!

First of all: Welcome to Moonglade! cheers Hope you enjoy it here.
I changed the size of your tekst, hope you don't mind. Was reading it and the letters were dancing around the screen a bit Razz
A lovely and detailed story! I like how the priest keeps comming back subtely. Great how you put detail in some places, like Zangarmarsh and Chillwind camp. To me the lore in your story is correct, well done! Don't worry about the age. There are alot of Draenei roleplayers who never mention their charracters age, just where they are born. That usually says enough.
One of the officers will poke you in-game.

Greets, Senra.
