• A Reply to Buyaga

  by Shupashupa March 9
  Shupa sits on the mound outside their home in Garadar, the sounds of the waterfall offering a bit of relief from the day’s preparations for war. In the fading sunlight she reads over the page, then pauses before reading through it a second time. Her brows knit together at first before a smile ...

• The Blade and the Stone

  by Shupashupa March 5
  Last night Kormok stepped down as Chieftain of the Tears and told us that he had named Arbiter Gorezug as his successor. War is coming once again to Azeroth. Not some elder god or corrupted titan, no common enemy to focus our aggression on. This time it will be an army of people; misguided, vain and...

• Terminal Velocity

  by Shupashupa February 23
  It had been a quiet evening; Shupa had been patrolling the town, watching for any strangers. It was almost enjoyable watching the Mag’hari going about their evening routines; for their part the great orcs had begun to accept her among them.   Not really listening to it, her guildstone c...

• In the Forest of the Night

  by Shupashupa February 18
  The lone orc arrived in Scholazar and took a high altitude flight around the Venture Company’s operation. Not much to see but it showed few ways to get in and observe without being seen. Gigantic trees all far too tall, the ground too open to provide a vantage point to prolonged observation; a...

• Spirit Walking and Other Dangerous Passtimes

  by Shupashupa January 24
  This morning I returned to the Throne of Elements to collect the sapta. I had spent the last couple days, living at Golth’s house; meditating, trying to find inner peace and striving to listen to the elements and spirits around me.   As the day wore on, heading toward sunset, Gorezug an...

• Shamanism: How to make friends and influence spirits

  by Shupashupa January 16
   With the fall of the Deathbringer, my brothers and sisters seem to be seeking more peaceful activities; trying to enjoy a brief respite before the next threat to the Horde reveals itself. Perhaps it is time I pursued what began at Hellscream’s monument.   The longest journey begin...

• Combat training in the shadow of Warsong Hold

  by Shupashupa November 30, 2011
  Two days ago the Chieftain summoned us to Northrend and to prepare for battle. Our healers under Arbiter Awenita have begun setting up an infirmary, Saaryn and others are gathering supplies. My orders are to find the enemy. Not the Alliance, this time; the Twilight Hammer is on the move again. We ar...

• Intermission

  by Shupashupa October 9, 2011
  Imagine my surprise walking into one of the banks in Orgrimmar to see Buyaga’s 8 foot frame! I had received a letter from him earlier today telling me he had been assigned to the effort in Northrend under Saurfang’s command. Almost by reflex I wrapped myself in shadows and then moving up...

• The Shadowwalker

  by Shupashupa October 5, 2011
  Orgrimmar, Valley of Honor, Late at night   The area was still warm from the heat coming off the surrounding rock, though a chill in the air promised the cooler seasons to come. The lich stood still as only the dead can do. Beneath its blue-flamed gaze, life still moved around in Orgrimmar. I...

• Unbridled Love

  by Shupashupa October 4, 2011
  continued from A Touch of Spirit   I stood there at Grom’s monument, I could not speak directly what was on my mind or in my heart. Like all things I came at it sideways and from behind.   Buyaga’s rough voice softened some, “Say before our ancestor why it is so. Why ...
