Talk:STV Comic Concept

Now this looks interesting!

One important note: In the First War there were no Paladins, as they were introduced after the First War and prior to the Second War, so the Paladin you had in mind would have to be a member of the Brotherhood of the Horse, which Lord Anduin Lothar also was part of. These had no powers like unto that of the current Paladins, but were Knights instead. The only close thing would be the Clerics of the Brotherhood of Northshire Abbey, but these were mere clergymen aka priests, friars and the like. Uther the Lightbringer was one such Cleric, tutoured by none other than the Archbishop Alonsus Faol himself!

In any case, I'd love to help. =)

Edited! Thanks for the first feedback. The fact that the main characters can't be paladins doesn't matter to me (yet), I haven't found a way for them to use their powers anyways. the title paladin was more an indication fo what kind fo people they are.

But anyways thanks and I really appriciate you want to help me with this.

No ancestor of Richeron was even near Stranglethorn during this time. However, if anything ever happens in Khaz Modan..

Some additional info.

Year 0: The Orcs enter Azeroth and the First War begins.

Year 1-4: The First War. At first the Humans seem to have the upper hand, since the Orcs initially underestimated them, but the tables are turned, resulting in Northshire Abbey being burned to the ground and culminating in Stormwind Keep being razed. King Llane Wrynn is assassinated during the battle. The Kingdom of Stormwind is ransacked by the Horde, who kill all in their path. Lord Anduin Lothar returns to Elwynn Forest with the remnants of his forces, as well as Khadgar, after having killed Medivh in Karazhan. They gather what survivours (troops and civilians) they can find and make an exodus to Lordaeron

Year 5: The Alliance is formally gathered, with Lord Lothar as its Supreme military Commander. The Paladin Order of the Silver Hand is formed in Stratholme (Alonsus Chapel) by Archbishop Alonsus Faol, who annoints Uther, a former Cleric of the Brotherhood of Northshire, to be the first Paladin.

Year 6: The Second War begins.

This means the comic will be somewhere around the end of year 4. After the end ofthe war, but before the exodus to Lordearon. Or maybe even during the exodus, assuming some stubborn humans are not willing to give up the remnants of Stormwind just yet.

Kyu'zo

Forgot to add that the exodus was by ship. Just where they took off from with ships isn't written anywhere as far as I've been able to see. I assume that it's from Westfall, but not sure.

In any case, the idea about the Knight being chosen to be a Paladin isn't possible to use just before or just after Stormwind has fallen as the Order of the Silver Hand isn't established until year 5.

--Elizabetha 15:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Changed the short bios (cliché characters ftw). Perhaps in the future he will become a Paladin.

And by telling that the great exodus was by ship, it gives a more solid reason why the party doesn't simply sail to Booty Bay and try to dodge pirates. I guess all ships will be necessary for the exodus and none could be spared.

Hmm..I think it's time to come up with names for the characters.

(PS: If this comic turns out right, then who knows Richeron. I am already pondering to shed some light on where Zul'jin and Kilrog Deadeye have gone. Khaz Modan might become a point of interest in that tale)

Kyu'zo

Don't know if it'll be necessary to have the parents, etc, of chars of SWC in it, but that's for you to decide. And being a true narcisist, as well as following in the steps of Richeron *cough* I'll just add that Eliza's father and mother died when Stormwind Keep fell, while Eliza and her grandparents were evacuated along with the survivours. *coughing ends* ;P

And, yes, I agree, that could be a very good explanation as to why the group doesn't go to Booty Bay by ship, but then you'd have to figure out just why they're going there, what their agenda is, etc.

--Elizabetha 16:01, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Why they are going there? Well...the Steamwheedle agent, a chance to quickly restore the resources of the human armies and a possibility to get the, normally neutral, trade princes as their allies. A risk worth taking, since the goods Undermine has..no, CAN offer could save a lot of people. Whether the missions succeeds or not, that remains to be seen.

And as for adding relatives of SWC chars in the story: I am open to suggestions and if the character fits, then I don't see why not. I might put in my own even...

Kyu'zo

Heh, didn't really mean it that seriously, but if you want to fit in a four year old girl in there, then by all means. Might add that she was in the care of her grandparents at that particular time, her mother's parents that is. *cough*

Good idea with the base camp, Lord Lothar pressing on venturing north to Lordaeron. *nodnod* Liking it.

--Elizabetha 20:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Ohw, I already had a nice panel in mind. A close up of the medic/priest taking care of a light injury of your grandfather. Standing behind them will be your grandmother who is trying to comfort a little girl that just lost her parents. And behind that will be main knight and a few other soldiers protecting you all.

After all, all these people are their to either rescue the remaining survivors or to make a "last stand and kill as many of the Horde as possible, because they won't leave their beloved city"

Mleh, I'm really starting to need names for characters. Feel free to make suggestions, preferably not player ancestors (unless it fits the description). What are common names for humans?

Kyuzo

Elizabetha had no clue her parents were dead till some time later. She was merely given to her grandparent's care by her parents as her father was a soldier defending Stormwind Keep, and her mother refusing to leave him.

As for names, you'll get the best idea by looking at the names already used by NPCs. Most seem quite English.
