This Week's Challenge:
Think you could write
Light and Death
better? Take a shot! I challenge you to take a page of Wowhead's first (to the best of my knowledge) continuous story and rewrite a sinlge page of it!
You must specify which page you're rewriting.
As always, there are no winners, but I'll say which one I liked best.
Note:
Please indicate at the top of the post if you are entering a challenge submission.

Whether it be through the Open RP threads, writing Fan Fiction, debating issues within the lore, or coming up with new Races, Classes, Factions, Dungeons, and Expansions, we all love writing about Warcraft.
So, let's make our own lore!
I want this to be a thread for open creativity. It is purely for fun, to stretch the imagination and allow the players and lore-lovers a chance to tell a story. All you have to do is write. If you have any ideas on how the Warcraft Universe would be cooler, more brutal, stranger, more peaceful, different in any way, write about it.
The only guideline I would like everyone to follow would be to put a header on their post with a basic title of what it will be. So that those who are interested may read it, and those who aren't may scroll down to other ideas.
Example:
How the Pandaren Joined the Horde
So this one day the Pandaren said, "What's up?", to Thrall and he was all like, "Be my friend!", and they were like, "Totally, we'll bring the beer!", and the Pandaren joined the Horde.
Try to keep your ideas to a single post length. If you feel you have to exceed that, just make sure that you've got it typed up beforehand and are pasting it in so you're quick enough to make sure that the entire idea isn't broken by multiple posters.
Some suggestions for your topic:
The story of how a certain race joins a certain faction.
The history of a certain race, society, or person.
A retelling of a major event in the lore as you would have liked it to happen.
A description of the death of a major character.
An introduction of a new race/society/faction/other into the universe.
A look into the future of Warcraft.
This thread is supposed to help you expand on your own creativity, while enjoying the creativity of others. You may discuss the ideas that other users post, but please, do not let it devolve into flaming.

Heh I've got one, even if I have put it in before on other threads:
The True Death of the Lich King
The Lich King stands tirumphant above the injured and weakened members of the Crusade, the Blade, the pathetic Kirin Tor. Laughing madly, he prepares to strike them down when a roar echoes across Icecrown. Looking up, the Lich King's eye's widen behind his helm. "Oh fu...." He moans, as a blast of molten fire rains down on him, melting the armour, burning his descrated body, Frostmourne shattering. Laughing, Deathwing circles once, then flys off, his voice echoing back "So long insects, and what comes next will be true fun."

How Thrall and Jaina die
"I can't let you do this, Thrall. I've seen it before, I won't watch it again!"
"I'm not Arthas, Jaina."
"Step back!"
"I don't have time for this, Jaina! I'm doing this for all of us, we will finally have peace!"
"Not like this! Step back, I swear I will stop you if it's the last thing I do!"
Thrall hesitates. He measures the distance in his mind, but Jaina has positioned herself carefully. He can't reach the orb before she can act. Jaina notices this, but she won't act first, she can't. She begs in a quiet voice.
"Please, Thrall, please don't." He looks at her, and seems to untense a little. It is a good feint, he doesn't even realize he is doing it. But Jaina has seen it before. Magical ice hammers against Doomhammer's armour, but Thrall keeps his footing as he lunges for the orb. He feels the heavy, heavy weight of the armour holding him back. Spirits of fire warm the armour, keep him from freezing in place as he reaches the orb. As he touches it, the trap Jaina prepared is triggered.
Thrall being so close never realized what happened.
Jaina folds up on the ground, fading into the cold unconsciousness she knows she’ll never wake from.
“I’m sorry… I-I didn’t think you’d really do it…”

Woah, Hymer... I'm intrigued... But can we get a little background? :P What is this orb, why does Thrall need it, and why does Jaina not want him to get it?

Thanks. The reader decides. The whole point is to leave out as much description as possible. :) This leaves it up to you, and I need only bother with the drama itself. But,
Now, in an effort to keep people on track, I'll ask that we not delve into debates or discussions based on someone's ideas.
This also lets me put in what's important, so every detail that
is
mentioned is important.

Alleria Reunites with Her Sisters
Alleria finally returns to Azeroth from planet Yuggoth with Turalyon.
Standing at the portal is Vereesa, who immediately hugs Alleria tightly.
"It's such a joy to have you back," Vereesa smiles. "I never thought I'd see you again."
Behind Vereesa stands Sylvanas, who wipes a tear from her eyes and spits upon the ground. "I wish I still knew what joy felt like," She mutters.
Alleria freezes. "What is
that
?" She asks, bringing her hand to her mouth in horror.
"Alleria, while you were gone... something happened..." Vereesa mutters tearfully.
"Yes, something happened," Sylvanas adds, her beautiful, cold face marred by bitterness. "Our people are dead, Alleria. Mother, father, Sethil, Myrthin, our whole family. The human prince destroyed our home. Destroyed our people."
Alleria's face twitches slightly in shock. She had nearly fallen apart when she received word that Lirath was dead, but now...
Before anyone can stop her, Alleria carves a long gash across her own throat, unable to handle the pain any longer. Vereesa screams in horror and slumps to the ground in anguish while Sylvanas looks on bitterly, feeling no more hurt than she has felt for years. She turns away and glances down at the sapphire necklace on her neck, shedding a light tear before casting it upon the ground and walking away.
The sisters Windrunner are no more.

Good stuff guys. I'll write something for this thread later, I've been up for a long time and could use some sleep.
Also editted the the OP to allow for more. I figure, why not? If this post is to foster creativity, I shouldn't stifle that by putting a limit on the post length.
I think if we get enough people writing up ideas, this could be a good sticky.

Oh, hold on, forgot to put a header on mine... >.>
Also, you ever think of linking the posts in the first post by title? That way I can skim through the first (or second, if Adams deletes his) post and see "Oh, 'How Bolvar Joins the Forsaken' looks interesting, I think I'll give it a read." I would work better when/if this thread reached multiple pages. The only drawback is you have to keep it up to date... :P

Whoa.You liked it? :P
I liked Saurfang killing Garrosh. I find it especially awesome that he survived the hanging.
One question, though. Why did he let himself be hung? Why didn't he just part Garrosh's head from his shoulders on the throne? Or is it one of those
Rule Of Cool
things? :P

Well, I thought I'd leave his reasoning a little ambigous. But it's probably a rule of cool - Plus he killed Garrosh infront of most of Orgrimmar.
And I really liked it! I never thought of Alleria as so unstable until then and I felt real emotion for her. :'(Yeah, Rosenburg/Golden did a great job writing her in Beyond the Dark Portal. I definitely could feel her pain, despite her genocidal attitude. I just took that and applied a little more pressure until she popped like a bubble.

Saurfang + Doomhammer...how much more epic can you get?
I'd best not write anything of my own - would end up being a giant rant. :)
