Dat Kogra. <3 Very nicely done.

[Ye Olde Story of how I joined:]

Oh wow, it's going to be hard for me to remember all the stuff I've experienced and the people I've met during my stay in the tribe, but I will do my best to recall some good stuff.. apologies in advance if you feel left out. I must say I already agree with a lot of stuff people have already said in their posts, so instead of writing something near-identical to everyone else, I'll just tell about why I joined, what the tribe and such means to me I guess. xD

Ye Olde Story of how I joined:

Back in Wrath of the Lich King I had barely done any RP except from some very silly noob-y RP with me and my friend's guild (Violent Coffin Builders). At the time I was mostly playing my undead characters and were just doing PvE and BGs, but sometimes I'd get small glimpses into the "RP world" here and there. One of the most memorable moments were the 2-3 times I saw Morgeth and Kozgugore RPing in Dalaran, and I found myself standing there reading their conversations each time. I suddenly found myself interested in RP again, and started thinking about giving it another try. I ended up looking at this very forum for info about the guild, to see if it would be anything for me and I remember being very intimidated by the fact that the guild chat was IC. x)

After some consideration, I decided to race change my inactive level 62 troll male shaman into an orc female. At first, the idea was to go orc male, but having seen Morgeth RP I felt really inspired to try an orc female, since I thought she was the coolest female orc I had ever seen, and I had never really played a female character before. After changing however, I felt too intimated to apply to ORB right away, and decided to level while trying out random RP here and there first. At some point, an old friend of mine from TBC returned to the game on an orc character he had in the guild (Vargosh) and he encouraged me to come join one of the ORB events in Wetlands, which I ended up doing and had fun, despite being terrified of everyone. XD

Vargosh kept asking me to join, but I was very insecure about my RP so I kept making excuses to wait longer, even though I really really wanted to join. While leveling in Storm Peaks some time later I ran into another orc from the tribe, Orgash, who was also leveling in the area. He saw my FlagRSP (or whatever it was called?) and whispered me, asking if I wanted to RP with him while leveling, I figured it would be a nice way to gain further RP experience, and it turned out to be lots of fun! Like Vargosh, he kept asking me to apply, and eventually I decided to just go for it. I talked to Vargosh and was told to come to Hellfire Peninsula, where the guild was staying at the time, and I approached Rargnasha ICly to show my interest for the guild. This lead to probably one of the worst things I ever said as Vez ever in RP. (Something Rarg liked to remind me of. D: ) After the interview, I was directed at the forums and made the worst application in the history of applications and even had to edit it because Rarg thought it was too short. xD (I made up her entire past just as I was writing the application. >.>) Afterwards I was invited to join, and my adventure begain!

I've learned a lot during my stay in ORB and I'll always be grateful for the patience and guidance y'all had for a shitty RPer like me. Thanks to you, I became a better RPer, I had many fun moments and I got a lot of new friends.

Memorable Moments:

-Every single "Backwards Drunken Race" event I've been a part of. So much fun!
-The hilarious but failed attempts to burn Garashna's dead wolf in Howling Fjord.
-When Vargnor was killed by a level 8 boar outside Orgrimmar after a duel. (We probably made fun of him waaaay too much because of that)
-Trailer making! I've been part of... 3 so far? They've all been... interesting experiences. xD
-Gnash's funeral, when Morgeth mentioned how all the "gobbo whores" in Booty Bay would miss him.
-The times we had BG groups while skyping.
-Everything that happend in the "She-orc Hut".
-All of the amazing WPvP we had in the old days.
-Morgeth looking at Vez and Mazguul's chests, then looking down on her own, and letting out an annoyed sigh, during a lineup in an event.
-The tasks Mazguul gave Vez during her training after becoming Gosh'kar.
-Lots of other things, but the list would be too long, and honestly I am having a hard time remembering any more spesific moments.

Favourite/Memorable Characters:

As much as I'd like to make massive wall of texts to each of the characters mentioned below, it would make the list way too long. That said, I'd like to point out that everyone in the tribe are awesome people, I just wanted to mention the people I consider the most special/memorable.

-Morgeth
-Kozgugore
-Mazguul
-Krogon
-Rargnasha
-Orgash
-Shrika
-Sadok
-Gnash
-Srelok
-Rhonya
-Kogra
-Thazzrill
-Grunnak
-Grek'thar
-Regorn
-Luk

I probably forgot someone, because I am terrible at remembering names. :|

Goodbye and good luck Krogon! It'll be strange not seeing you around anymore.

I know I'll be on a female demonhunter.

Same. A good chance it will be my new main, too! I just need to decide which race to go for. xD

That's fake! Just look at how many MALE characters there are! We all know the majority of elf player-characters are female!

The only problem now with all this cool stuff is having to wait to early next year 'hopefully' and having to deal with wod in the mean time..



*looks at calendar* Are we there yet?

My problem exactly. I have close to zero motivation for WoD.. I just want Legion now carrotcake it looks so awesome. I want my DH ;_;

Some new info here: http://www.wowhead.com/news=248635/wowhead-weekly-46-legion-news-new-character-slot-interviews-blizzard-costume-con Seems like I was right about the Transmog stuff. :3

I agree that making us sound like epic awesome heroes is a bit.. meh, but overall I don't mind because what I do while questing/pve/pvp isn't IC so. All in all I think the artifact system sounds cool, it's an additional progression path and that's always nice. It does seem like a revamped version of Path of the Titans that was supposed to be in Wotlk? Sure it seems wierd in a way that we're going to run around with these legendary weapons, but like Grek said maybe it's just replicas or look-alikes? *shrug*

Like Srelok said I think it's very nice that Nelf lore is getting expanded on, as well as druid lore. Also really like that we're getting more lore/information on the Vrykul, Valkyr, Emerald Dream and Neltarion. Lots of different lore for this expansion imo, which is more than can be said about WoD.

I agree 100% with Sadok also, that in this expansion the lack of fun endgame kind of killed the enjoyment for me. D: I play MMOs to do various stuff, PvP, RP, PvE etc. If too many of those aspects are dull, I'll lose interest. So far in WoD there's only really been RP for me. PvP has been dull most of the time except when doing guild BGs or BGs with friends, PvE has been dull.. so I lost interest fairly quickly and/or often. This is mostly because everything is sooo grindy and based around mob-farming.. (*cough* reputation *cough*)I prefer the millions of MoP dailies over this tbh. xD I was super hyped and excited for WoD, and while the questing/lore while leveling up was awesome.. that was it, really. I hope Legion will be more fun (especially at max level) so I don't feel like quitting every 2 months. >.>

Agree 100% with Gashuk too.. so much whining over Legion when it's what everyone has been wanting for so long "pls gief legion expansion!" every year. xD And it -does- seem like the most logical next step, yes, for several reasons:

1. Blizzard have been saying since MoP that from then and onwards, the end of each expansion would lead into the next one.. this one ended with legion stuff soo... yeah. xD
2. During the Legendary questchain in MoP, Wrathion predicted a Legion invasion that would be bigger than we'd ever seen.. so why are people still surprised about this expansion? Interestingly enough, I even read a forum post a while back, where some guy had found a lot of hints in most of the expansions, suggesting that there are hints in each expansion about what is going to come in the expansion coming after the next one; Like in Vanilla, there was apparently some hints at Wotlk, in TBC there were hits at Cata, etc. With that in mind; Wrathion predicting Legion invasion in MoP makes sense.

And like most people have said already, I think the new PvP system looks interesting. It will (hopefully) mean more balance in PvP since they can keep PvP and PvE more separated, and the PvP only talents might actually be fun and interesting to use. And there's the Demon Hunters and the Broken Isles ofc, stuff I have been waiting for since Vanilla. xD Totally gonna roll a DH, and it might end up being my new main (Sorry Vez D:). As for the improved Transmog system Srelok mentioned; Blizzard already said in the 2014 Blizzcon that they want to make the transmog system more like the D3 one, where you "learn" an item's apperance, so you don't have to keep the item to transmog it. They also said a few months later in another interview that they'd still like to do that.. so I'm guessing this means it's finally coming now with Legion.

TLDR; I am very excited about Legion. \o/

I actually like this expansion concept way more than WoD. Demon Hunter as a class, Illidan back, Broken Isles (waited for this for so long), Tomb of Sargeras (same as broken isles), Viking/Valkyr stuff, more druid lore, Class halls.. so much cool stuff.

Yeah a Troll Shadow Hunter specced Shadowstalker, Dark Ranger Forsaken og an Orc Spirit mender all sound like really cool character ideas that I could see myself playing. Let's hope that part is true. xD

As much as I think it's fake, I can't help but feel excited. It sounds like it'd be a cool expansion, as we'd get to see more of the troll homeland, The broken isles (Tomb of Sargeras!), and a return to Kezan! Plus the new class would be awesome.

Norwegian!

Yeah I'd love garrisons in other zones. I wanted Vez's to be in Frostfire, but I wanted my warlock's garrison to be in Shadowmoon Valley, so it was rather disappointing when they announced that we couldn't.

I don't like it at all. It ruins immersion and the fun of exploring, and it makes people lazy. I'm glad that they're at least making it time consuming to be able to fly.. but overall I don't want them to add flying -at all-. :/ But It could've been worse imo.. they could've just made it like "pay 2k then you can fly! "

Appearance:
Vezara appears to be just a little  taller than the average she-orc, her skin is slightly dark green and her eyes are light blue. Her coppery-brown hair is styled into a mohawk, with several long braids hanging from it. She is in rather good shape, having a strong yet agile looking build, however it does not subtract from her feminine curves. Her body appear to have a few scars here and there, suggesting that she has experienced some battles in her life.

Resting its head on her right shoulder is the stylized wolf of the Frostwolf Clan, tattooed in shadows of blue and white with a strong line to bring it out from the green skin. The tattoo covers part of her upper right back,  the top right side of her chest and arm as well as  the bicep.

She normally wears armor or clothes made from furs and leather, often decorated with bones, animal teeth/fangs or wolf symbols. Hanging from her neck is a handcrafted wooden necklace with the shape of a Lion, and a worn and half-broken Frostwolf Clan insignia.

Personality:
Vezara is most of the time a calm, relaxed and kind orc, but is prone to random mood changes and sudden bursts of energy that may cause her to appear hyperactive and sometimes a little rude. Although she often appear to be very outgoing and social she is slightly introverted and have very bad self-esteem, but often hide this fact from people around her. She has a strong passion for exploring and ancient objects, and value her friends and family more than her own life. If angered, she is not afraid to speak her mind, and usually take a long time to calm down and forget about it.

History:
[spoiler=Part 1]Vezara was born in Alterac Valley some time after the orcs first arrived in Azeroth and the Frostwolf Clan settled down in these mountains. Her parents were strict and wanted her to follow the path of Shamanism just like they had, something they made very clear to her when she was just a few years old. Vezara wanted to be a great warrior instead, and was not very interested in wisdom or spiritual matters.  When she was just four to five years old, her parents were sent out of the Frostwolf Village, to fight in the front against the Stormpike Dwarves, and she was left with her mother's close friend Kretula, who took care of her in their absence. Vezara's parents were killed only a few months after they left the village, the news brought to them by a Frostwolf scout.

Kretula decided to raise Vezara as her own, and took it upon herself to try to make Vezara follow her parent's path, shamanism. She would always refuse this, and would run off whenever she was being tutored by one of the Clan's shamans, only to go do combat and weapon training with her friends instead. As she grew up, she would gain more and more interested in shamanism and spiritual matters, and decided to take her training more seriously, while also being trained in combat by some of the local grunts. By the time she reached her late teens/early twenties, Vezara was a decent Battle-shaman, as a result of her combined training, and she fought in several battles for her clan, against the Stormpike.

Months later, after having lost several friends in battle, and being worn out by the on-going struggle with her people and the dwarves, Vezara decided it was time to see the world outside of the mountains of Alterac, and explore as much of it as possible. She spent a few years exploring several parts of Azeroth, collecting relics, hunting beasts and seeing old ruins, before she decided to see the remains of her people's ancestral homeland, Outland. During her travels in Outland, Vezara stumbled upon an old orcish ruin in the Hellfire Peninsula, where she met a group of orcs known as The Red Blades. She had heard of these orcs before, and even met some of them during her travels, including a young orc male called Orgash, whom she briefly met and hunted with, in Northrend.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Part 2]Vezara was intrigued by this group of orcs, and the stories she had heard of them. She felt like maybe it was time to have a place to belong once more, and decided to join this tribe of orcs, after having talked to one of the high ranked warriors of the tribe. The Red Blade orcs become a big part of Vezara's life from that day on, she went with them to far away places, fought enemies she had never seen before. She was taught combat, survival and shamanism by several orcs in the tribe, such as Morgeth Feralheart and Mazguul Sharpeye whom both became eventually become her friends.  Vezara even found herself a mate in the tribe, the orc she had met before, Orgash. Their relationship did not last very long however, as Orgash spent a lot of time away, and evnetually he left her, to go on a journey he could not tell her about.

Upon returning from a campaing in Northrend with the tribe, Vezara was invited by some of her friends within the tribe Shrika, Garashna, Muzjhath and Kiro to live with them in a hut in the Northern part of the Barrens, which she accepted gladly, as she had nowhere to stay. This hut, later known among some orcs as "The She-orc hut" was their home for a long time. One day, Vezara learned that the tribe was holding a Om'riggor, the orcish rite of passage, and she decided to take part in it. She ventured all the way to the northern parts of Kalimdor, where she after a long struggle, managed to kill an Ice Giant on a brige by throwing her axe into it's face, making it fall into the ravine below them. She brought back an ice-like crystal, and was given the name "Frostwalker" by the tribe's chieftain, Kozgugore Feraleye, as well as given the rank of Nag'Ogar.

After many harsh War Training sessions lead by Rrosh-tul Gnash, Vezara decided it was time to strengthen her shamanism further like her parents had always wanted, so she asked the tribe Thur'ruk, Mazguul Sharpeye for tutoring. Mazguul taught her for a long time, eventually giving her the rank of Gosh'kar, hoping she would strive to improve and one day attain the rank of Thur'ruk for herself. Vezara felt satisfied with her current rank for now, and even though her dream was to become a Thur'ruk one day, she decided to take her time with it.  She preformed several tasks for Mazguul, however, including four tasks where she would attempt to contact the four elements, and assist them if required. Vezara succeeded in three of the four tasks, as she was unable to get in contact with the spirit of earth. She later learned that it was likely due to the events of the great Cataclysm that happened not long after, as it had made some of the elements in Azeroth act strange and unstable.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Part 3]Shortly after the great cataclysm had occured, Vezara met an orc during the tribe's annual Kosh'harg festival, and somehow felt like there was something familiar about the way he looked. This orc was Shrika's mate, and Shrika who was one of her close friends, arranged for Vezara to meet with him after Vezara told Shrika that she suspected he might be related to her somehow. During their meeting in Ashenvale, Vezara learned that this orc, called "Varekk Wolfheart" was actually her blood-brother, who had been born away from the Frostwolf Village, after her parents went to fight the dwarves. Their parents had been killed by a human paladin called Wulfgnar, who had seen the newly born orc child, and took him to raise as his own, something that did not surprise Vezara at all, as she could tell her brother's orcish was not as good as one would expect from an orc. She then realized why he looked so familiar, as his appearance resembled their father. Vezara and Varekk would meet now and then, trying to catch up for all the time they did not spend together as they grew up. It was a struggle for Vezara, because Varekk seemed to be a secretive orc, and did not like being too close to others, although they got closer eventually, and he shared most of his story with her.

Vezara eventually met the Clan Varekk belonged to and had spent most of his recent years with, the Blackblood Clan. A Clan who was infamous and disliked by her own tribe, and who often got into trouble with them. She could tell some of them were probably mistrusted for a good reason, but she managed to get close to some of them, making her visits to Varekk a little bit easier. She never told the tribe about her visits to the Blackblood Clan's meeting places, as she feared they would either follow her, or have her exiled.

Some time later, during an expedition with the tribe to Stonard, Vezara encountered Wulfgnar, the human paladin, as he was spying on the Red Blades. After chasing him down, and almost beating him up, he explained to her in his crude self-taught orcish who he was, and that he only intended to learn about Varekk's fate. Vezara told Wulfgnar what she knew about his "son". Orgash, whom had returned to Vezara shortly before their arrival in Stonard, saw them talking, and tried to ambush Wulfgnar. Vezara managed to help him escape, and ended up having a big argument with Orgash that led to them splitting up once again.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Part 4]One day, when the tribe had decided to settle down in the Barrens again for a while, Vezara decided to take on a Newblood to tutor, as it had been a long time she tutored any newbloods for the tribe. The orc she chose, an old orc named Rukvar, ended up spending a lot of time with her at her new hut in the northern barrens, as he did not have his own home. After a while, Vezara and Rukvar started having feelings for each other, and became mates. Their relationship lasted for about six months, until one day during the Kosh'harg festival in Nagrand. Vezara had just participated in a ritual for the festival, along with Vraagar Blackmane, and was talking to some of the other orcs when she revealed to some of them that she thought she was pregnant with Rukvar's child, and was planning to tell him once they returned to Garadar. Shortly after, an orc arrived at the festival to inform her that Rukvar, who had been ill and stayed behind in Garadar, had just passed away. After saying her farewells to Rukvar, he was burned at the pyres of Nagrand.

After their return to Azeroth, the tribe were preparing for another campaign to Northrend, they stopped by Azshara for a while, waiting to get transportation from the goblins there. It was here that Vezara met the young orc named Grunnak. Grunnak was a mysterious shy and short orc, who seemed rather fond of Vezara from the first time they met, and shortly before she left with the tribe to Northrend, he suggested he wanted to become her mate. Vezara turned him down, as she was not yet ready so soon after Rukvar's death, but that she hoped to see Grunnak again. He waited for her until she returned, and tracked her down, and they became closer and closer during their time in the war-effort against the alliance in the southern barrens, and eventually became mates a few months after. At the next Kosh'harg, Vezara was finally promoted to the rank of Thur'ruk after months of trials  and training from the tribe chieftain Kozgugore. She was happy now, her goal had been reached and she could now focus on getting ready for the birth of her child.

Back in Azeroth, a while after her promotion, she gave birth to her child, a boy, whom she named after his father Rukvar, to honor his memory. Vezara and Grunnak found themselves spending less and less time with the tribe now that they had little Rukvar to take care of, and would only travel with the tribe whenever Varekk was around to take care of Rukvar for them. Vezara was getting worried about the fact that over the past few years, more and more of her friends in the tribe had passed away or suddenly vanished without a word or any clues, and she became less and less confident about her purpose in the tribe and in her own abilities. After discussing it with Grunnak, she decided to step back from Tribal matters for a while, and took Rukvar and Grunnak with her to stay in her old childhood home in the Frostwolf Village of Alterac Valley.[/spoiler]
