Day 6
As the sun rises here in the Highlands it is obvious that this war will not be won in a week. It will not be won in two, or even three. No, this war is one that will be fought for some time before victory can be truly gained.
I must say that I am pleased with the way our main camp at Refuge Pointe has been going. The defences are solid - more solid than I have ever seen them in recent times.
The small, pocketed attacks upon it by the Horde - that were happening two or three times a day before we arrived here last week - have, thankfully, now stopped.
The road North, from Refuge to Stromgarde Keep, is a tricky one. It it like flipping a coin most of the time - it will either be a clear path without any Horde, or it will be being patrolled by Hordish forces who put up strong resistence. The Horde have made it clear that they are in mood to abaondon this land. Like us, they will fight to the death if it means having control of Arathi.
Stromgarde Keep itself is - apart from Refuge Pointe - one of the stronger areas we hold. The Alliance forces there, backed up by our numbers, have managed to drive out most of the Syndicate scumbags that had descended upon the area and made it their home from home.
The problems back in Stormwind City have not aided the cause up here. I have had to return back to our capital more than twice in the past week, which doesn't help things. Also is the problem that many of our forces have still yet to leave for Arathi. Alas, we said all along that we would not be deserting our home. As such, returning when needed is our duty, one that I personally hold dear.
So then, back to Arathi. From what our scouts are telling us, it is safe to predict that the 'real' War will be upon us soon enough.
The Horde have been quiet in the field. They have noticibly garrisoned their defenses of Hammerfall and it appears that they are preparing for a large scale field battle to try and drive us out of Arathi before we have had a chance to truly dig in.
Do or die time shall arrive sooner, rather than later.

[[ OOC:
Hi all!
We have been roleplaying out an IC campaign of the North, starting with Arathi Highlands, recently.
Well, this Wednesday evening I would like to invite your guild along to a pre-planned RP-PvP event there.
As well as my lot (The Disciples of Light), I have invited along Maelmoor's Holy Lightbringers, Aegnian's Bloodwind, Burgen/Jancole's Dwarves and Fortesgue's Shining Strand.
I will be sending this message to a few other Horde RP-PvP guilds, namely Second Gurubashi Empire, Old Lordaeron and Horde Watch.
What I am looking to have is a good, fun RP-PvP battle across the open fields of Arathi Highlands. A few set charges between our forces, some runing battles across the fields, etc, all between some well respected RP guilds.
I am hoping to make OOC contact with some of the officers from Horde side, perhaps over MSN, before the battle, to exhange numbers of how many people we have, so then if need be the other side can have some time to even things up number wise (I want to try and make it as fair fight as possible!)
Time and date:
Wednesday 13th February (We are gathering at Refuge Pointe at 20:30 server time)
Please respond here and let me know what you think.

((A bit short notice there... Lets see if I can get there))
So ya want us ta crack ya eads again.
A pleasure for sure.
((It is a bit sort notice but no dout you will see some blades there, HOPEFULLY)).
((Aww, such a nice initiative! Thanks for inviting us. If at all possible, I'll be there and I hope you will see many strong orcs opposing your invasion plans.))
Mez told yers dat wez shud take de lands sooner! now yers see mez rite! Wez shud rid dem off de land! An' quick before em gather more forcez!
I expected them humans to cower back behind them safe walls in Stormwind for a while longer. Seems me little plans to attack them dwarf lands along the Span will have to wait. Lets see if we can persuade these buggers to flee off to where they came from!
(( Added to the event planner. Sounds goodie! Even though, as said before, it's a bit of a short notice. We'll try to attend with as many orcs as possible of course. Though I doubt we'll be looking forward with fighting along with these stinky trolls. ;> ))
((Ahaha, stinky trolls indeed! Chances are that we will be busy fighting eachother, giving you the opportunity to strike us both. Oh, the joy of arrpee! ;D ))
(( indeed, to all above posts: indeed.
hm, i kinda overuse that word don't I? ;) ))
((Sounds fun indeed ;D ))
((To paraphrase Shakespeare: Overlord, what fools these humies be! ;)
(( indeed ))
Yers heard de Ovahlord! wez called ter war! strap yerself inter em armor an' start sharpenin' yers blades an' arrows! Wez ez goin' ter rid em ov de land an' git us sum pinkskin flesh!
(( It turns out I might arrive a bit later because we'll have to install a new modem. Hopefully I can get it sorted before 20:00 or so, but fingers crossed. ))
(( hmm i heve illustrator lessons from 18:30till 21:10 on wednesday..so..I'll arrive late :/ ))
[[ Thanks for the positive replies, folks. It would be great if one of your officers who will be attending the battle would PM me their MSN so we can keep OOC contact during before and during the battle :) ]]

Indeed it is a cancer, and it's spreading! And from what I've heard, there is no cure! TEH HORROR!
There is a cure! THE KRIPPER VIRUS!
