Lunar Festival!

Greetings brethren.

It is that time of year again when we honor the heroes of ages past, heroes that vanquished the first demonic presence of the Burning Legion. Horde or Alliance, we are all called to the land of Moonglade to celebrate the victory of our elders and remember those who fought valiantly and fell. Fireworks may be shot all across the land in respect to Elune's power. While I myself do not care for the night elf deity with her blasted moon fire the druids of the alliance continually rely upon, our Dark Lady has allowed the Forsaken to partake in what some may consider a 'druid' tradition.

However, one of the fallen in the first invasion of the Burning Legion was the abomination created by the Goddess Elune, Omen. This two headed demi-god initially fought alongside the protectors of ancient Kalimdor and successfully drove off the demonic invasion. The demonic wounds it suffered from its many battles eventually drove the creature into a mad rage, turning on its former allies. It appears this goddess Elune has the ability to create but not to destroy, so naturally it was up to the races of Kalimdor to vanquish the ally-turned-demon. Every year during the lunar festival, it stirs from its slumber under the waters of lake Elune'ara and must be laid to rest.

Using what political influence we have, I created a large party of heroes to once again correct this past "mistake." Cairnift, a warlock of the Shadow and other Horde forces boldly faced the demon and after a lengthy and exhausting battle, Omen's body lay dead at our feet. Unfortunately, the foolish Elune blessed the creature with immortality so it cannot be silenced permanently. Still, this is one victory for the Shadow as well as all the Horde! I was able to capture an image of the fearless heroes that aided the Shadow!

In darkness,
Nokzhal

I have no doubt that the Dark Lady would like nothing more than for this druid festival to fade away, but we Undead sometimes take our plight in this world too seriously and maybe need to take a moment to enjoy ourselves...even if our undead reality seems like an eternal existance and nothing to be 'happy' about!
