Where exactly is this going? Are we just following the Argent Crusades (future) footsteps and going to attack the Scourge in Lordy and then go to Northrend? Or are we doing something different? The intro seems to suggests we're going after everything evil.

I'm also curious but I would love the idea of a secret war against the old gods and the legion :3 Like spy stuff xD

@PerseusArchean, @rivaan, Stratholme first, then either An'Quiraj, where we fight the War of the Shifting Sands, or we go to Stormwind and expose Onyxia*.

*Varian Wrynn has not disappeared in this timeline, and he's not a warmongering jerkhole, or an invincible military genius. However, Onyxia is still trying to seduce him.

@PerseusArchean, see the post above; I forgot editing in mentions doesn't work, and I bumbled up mentioning ya.

lololol... onyxia... now there is someone I always wanted to bring down :3 Spy games in stormwind eh? Remind me of the RPs I had with my friends, I had a allience infiltrator Good times~

Er, how exactly is Stormwind going to work? Asshat or not, Varian will not be inclined to let Horde members in his city, neutral faction or no. Maybe a Blood Elf could get away with it, they might not be Alliance but at least they aren't Horde. And possibly members of the Kaldorei faction given that they don't have a long bloody history of burning Stormwind to the ground... but Rogrelg? Sylvanus? Mmmm, not likely.

Then there's a problem for why go to Stormwind at all? It's not like anyone knows of Onyxia do they? And doesn't Varian have a wife? Or is she dead now? Can't remember when that happens. Maybe recruitment? That gets us into the city at least. Some of us anyway. Do you think we should have two characters each? One Horde-friendly, the other Alliance-friendly? Sure characters like Kalania can get away with both sides probably, maybe not if tensions are rising over logging Ashenvale... but for the most part suspicion and hatred will limit options even if they wear the banner of a neutral faction. Maybe our Blues can get stuck in Stormwind recruiting and our Reds go to Orgimmar? There's a neat little cult conspiracy taking place there if I remember right, rogue Warlocks beneath the city.

But what do I know? Maybe not-an-ass Varian is more like his son will be. Anduin is the best.

@PerseusArchean, Hmm, good point; I was only thinking Stormwind because of Rivaan's remarks about 'Spy Action'.

So, perhaps Arn'Qiraj, then?

why not gadgetzen :3? It's like the biggest neutral city in azeroth. While it was pretty barebonesy in WoW, it's supposedto be one of the biggest bustling towns in the world. Gladiator arenas, slave auctions, gambling houses and so on. Perfect place for an evil cult to hide.

I rather enjoy the idea of spying too, subterfuge and sabotage galore! It's just a bit unwieldy given the huge focus on race in Warcraft. Entire races have a single ruler, and few split from the main faction comparatively.

@rivaan, That would require a lot of work.

@PerseusArchean, True.

I'm trying to think of something, but it's all so divided. The best I can come up with is the Old God cult that shows up around Cataclysm and even then it's a long ways away and would anyone believe a Dryad capable of joining a cult intent on enslaving all life or whatever evil deed it is that drives the Cult of Twilight?

@rivaan, That would require a lot of work.

@PerseusArchean, True.

why would it require a lot of work exactly? * is trully confused*

@rivaan, Didn't you say it was pretty barebonesy?

Well I meant how they made it in World of warcraft, but in WoW all towns are very bare. For examply stormwind should be times and times bigger and more populated than how it's made in game.
AS for gadgetzen, yeah... it's supposed to be one of the biggest towns in the world... basically like Las Vegas in fantasy land. You can do everything there as long as you have the gold. Slavery is legal, gladiator games to the death, other generally unlawful thigns too and so on.

@rivaan, Ah, I see.

yeah goblins are the people to pay if you need something :3 It's like the perfect place for spygames in azeroth. Members of most races, factions and so on. ALl in one unlawful place where everything is allowed while you have the gold to pay of the authorities xD

@rivaan, Now that I've done more research, why not?

xD har har spy life for me~ lol

Now we just need a reason. Guess we'll deal with that when we get there. Conveniently, Gadgetzan is in So. Kalimdor, which makes for a good way to connect to Ahn'Qiraj. Get a mission to go to Gadgetzan, do our thing, Ahn'Qiraj eventually goes down, and guess who the Argent Dawn's closest agents are?

@PerseusArchean, Oh, yes!
