Under the Shadow of the Moon

Dust flew up behind the courier. An orc rode as swiftly as he could through Durotar towards the city of Orgrimmar. The courier rode into the city straight for the Valley of Wisdom. Shortly there after, he found a shaman.

"Nn, Nn, Nusku Drakemender?" The courier panted heavily. The shaman arched an eyebrow in surprise, and a near-by grunt sneered in disgust.

"What do you need?"

The courier answered by handing Nusku a letter bearing the seal of the Shadow Moon Clan and promptly left. Nusku saw fear in the eyes of the other orc, and that made him wary. The shaman broke the seal and unfurled the paper.

"Wyrmstalker misses his kin. Follow the map, pup.

Find him. Find us.

Show us the might of the Dragonmaw. Show us the power of your spirits."

Nusku stared at the letter for what seemed like an eternity. His brother was in trouble. His brother never had trouble. Vahran always found a way to survive. But this, this was different. They knew his name. These people knew both of their names. The shaman carefully folded the letter and put it in his pack.

With a heavy sigh, Nusku Drakemender sent out to find the remants of the Shadow Moon Clan on Azeroth.

For those few members of the Horde who know me, I wanted to let you all know that I will no longer be playing Horde-side. There are a number of reasons for this, some which I will tell you in-game if you whisper me. I can be found on my paladin, Manachan.

It will be quite surreal walking around the game world and not being able to whisper certain people on a whim.
