WOW FOREVER · HORDE · AN UPCOMING SHARED CAMPAIGN
In the shadow of Lordaeron, strangers gather to face what hunts the dark. This is where the Silverpine Society begins.
THE FIRST INVESTIGATION
Deadly robberies, slayings, and smuggling have unsettled Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest. The Forsaken have asked the Horde for help.
Cromac Low-Moons and his companions arrive from Kalimdor under the Warchief’s orders: investigate the crimes, and keep watch over the Forsaken. Sylvanas’s court has its own agents in motion. Iraylon Brightwing and his allies are charged with greeting the newcomers.
Scourge loyalists? The Scarlet Crusade? Another threat moving through the ruins? The answer remains unknown. Our story begins as Horde investigators from both continents meet to solve the mystery.
Elsewhere, Lady Prestor gathers Alliance champions for secret missions against the Horde. Their paths may become entangled with this investigation.
The Society is being founded. It is Horde aligned, mobile, and based in Silverpine Forest. Its members are the player characters and a few others.
This continuity cannot communicate with modern Silverpine. Shared names may have different histories, loyalties, and futures.THE PEOPLE TAKING THE FIRST STEP
Meet the faces guiding the opening story. Other characters can help shape the founding through play.
PALADIN · FOUNDING MEMBER
A protector before all else. This undead paladin greets the Horde newcomers and hunts Demith and the Scourge’s monstrosities. A deep voice, a steady hand, and an unwavering belief that people are worth saving.
FORSAKEN MAGE · FOUNDING MEMBER
An absent-minded researcher whose kindness survives the madness beginning to take him. He seeks answers in the eldritch and the unexplained while the Society is still taking shape.
ORC · HORDE INVESTIGATOR
A good orc arriving from Kalimdor with companions and the Warchief’s instructions. He must unravel the northern mysteries while watching the Forsaken with a diplomat’s wary eye.
THE SCOURGE · A PRIMARY ADVERSARY
He remembers the people he once knew. Now he hunts them, imprisons them, and forces them into Scourge service. Iraylon will not leave them to him.
Understand this continuity →THE STARTING LORE
You only need the opening mystery to begin. Expand a topic when your character needs a deeper connection. These are player setting notes; character knowledge may differ.
Anamir and Iraylon Brightwing are among its founders; other player characters may take part in the founding. Iraylon uses another name because he is undead, but that alias has not been supplied. Silverpine Forest is the base of operations. There is no established island academy, substantial permanent headquarters, or working Alliance partnership at the opening. Those developments may emerge through play.
Nichos exists: an all-consuming void lord who delights in pain and torture. The attempt to establish a Void Empire and constrain him failed completely, partly through Gant Arro’s involvement. Gant is a sinister elf building connections and planning to enslave Azeroth before Nichos arrives to consume it.
Vampirism is closely associated with the Scourge and the San’layn. Vampires are primarily intelligent undead; no benevolent vampire character or faction has yet been established. Sigris and Finan Varhallow serve the Scourge. Future roleplay may establish exceptions. At the start, the Society assumes a vampire is a Scourge threat.
The Fae Courts do not exist in their modern Silverpine form. Fae connections may appear, grounded more directly in Warcraft lore, including Dire Maul and relevant elven storylines. Modern Court relationships and cosmology should not be imported as established Forever lore.
Primarily run by blood elves, the Dark Market is only beginning to establish itself as a cartel in Silvermoon. The city is still in disrepair and its inhabitants are struggling to survive. Its blood elf involvement and wider connections remain in development.
An intelligent, sadistic and zealous Scourge blood death knight. Demith hunts and imprisons his former friends, colleagues, and the people of Tirisfal, forcing them into service within his Scourge faction. His modern counterpart’s history does not establish his role here.
Marjori and Teiko Greydawn are in Outland with Prince Kael’thas Sunstrider. Ailyanna Felfire serves the Burning Legion. Feldire Academy corrupts and deceives people into Legion service and operates primarily for its benefit. The Academy directly serves the Legion and has no established relationship with Gant Arro.
Iraylon is the father of Irayla and Juniper. His wife Amara Brightwing is a skyborne elf on the Alliance. In the modern continuity he is assumed dead, with the circumstances unknown. This is context for the parallel portrayals, not a channel of communication or a fixed prediction of his Forever fate.

*Blood-Elf and Goblin were marked with an asterisk in the campaign prompt; their specific conditions need storyteller confirmation.ED’S PROPOSED GAME STRANDS
A separate strand in Retail. Its relationship to Forever resembles a future, but it is not an exact or guaranteed continuation.
Ed’s proposed main Forever game follows the Horde side of the setting.
Proposed to run alongside Enderiann’s game. Faction restrictions make in-game cooperation challenging; the practical setup needs to be arranged.
These three strands are plans, with dates and cadence still to be arranged. Alliance cooperation and a larger headquarters are possibilities for future roleplay, rather than established opening conditions.
