History
Shadows of Lordaeron was created by the Forsaken Council as a Organisation with a purpose to expand Forsaken territories and develop new outposts and towns. The Organisation took upon themself soldiers, civilians, Apothecaries, blacksmiths, all aspects in the Forsaken nation. Former Deathstalker Mailan Shadowwalker was put in charge and was promoted to the rank of High Executor. With it, Aragar Von Kreuger was as well pointed to lead the organisation as a second High Executor, former leader of the Fist of Vengeance.

During Shadows of Lordaeron's existent, they assaulted the Western Plaguelands and captured Caer Darrow on the island south of the Plaguelands and claimed it as a new outpost of the Forsaken. The results pleased the Forsaken Council, for a time....   However, the attention of this new developed organisation would soon be infested with madmen and traitors. As the Shadows of Lordaeron progressed in the Eastern Kingdom, many members showed disloyalty towards leadership and their cause. Officers were leaving their post, members started plotting to take over the leadership and Aragar was accused for treason at one point against the Beastmaw Clan. After Aragar was proven innocent, Mailan stepped down as High Executor and the Deathstalker officer Morgus Crowley soon joined him aswell. The state of the Shadows of Lordaeron was in very bad shape.

After months of internal struggle, Mailan decided to return back in hope of bringing the organisation to order. When Mailan confronted Aragar, he stepped down from the throne as a High Exector and left the responsibility to Mailan. Mailan started to work with the internal problems that had risen and called forth a meeting with the senior officers. But the damage was already to great to repair. Mailan went to the Forsaken Council and reported the current status of the Shadows of Lordaeron. After a few weeks debates the Council decided to stop project. However, they were not ready to disband it. Instead they ordered a reshape of the Shadows of Lordaeron to a Military unit. Shadows of Lordaeron would work on a strict military code and be one of the many Battalions that the Forsaken have. With this new reform, many of the members of Shadows of Lordaeron was assigned to new duties in the Forsaken Community and left the Shadows of Lordaeron with a skeleton member core.   Before the final arrangements was made, the Forsaken Council summoned Mailan Shadowwalker to their present and told him themself that he will not be leading the Shadows anymore, cause of his inexperience with military order. Instead the Council had pointed out a decorated General from the Northrend campaign; General Rin Kalmore. Mailan left his post and rejoined the Apothecary Society.

Current state
Shadows of Lordaeron is a Forsaken Battalion of the Dark Lady. As most other military units, the Shadows of Lordaeron is not stationed at any specific front-line. They cover all the interest of the Horde's territories. They can as well operate in Kalimdor as in Outland, all over Azeroth if commanded to. Forsaken Council has assigned General Rin Kalmore, who has made a name for himself during the Northrend campaign, to bring Shadows of Lordaeron back to its glory and conquer their enemies in the name of Sylvanas Windrunner. The Shadows don't take on civilans at all,

OOC Purpose
Shadows of Lordaeron (SOL) mission is to repel the enemies of the Horde and combat on every corner of Azeroth to expand the Horde's borders. We aim to deliver good RP combat and assaults, on PVE aswell as PVP. SoL has a good connection with the  and . When we are not conducting joint RP events togheter, we will focus on military training and our own borders as Silverpine Forest (pre-cataclysm). We are a heavy Roleplay Forsaken guild, so we go by the rules of the lore and will not break it.

Recruitment
Unfaltering and unwavering loyalty is of the upmost importance and a requirement of any and all within the ranks of the Shadows, loyalty to both their Dark Lady and the High Executor.

There are currently no set level restrictions in the guild, any level is accepted though the lower in level you are the harder it will be for you to attend events in higher level zones. (E.g. Western Plaguelands)

This is a Forsaken guild for Forsaken members, any other race 'may' apply but most have a good solid reason for wishing to fight within the ranks of a Forsaken military. Please don't take any offence if you happen to be an Orc and we turn you down, if we do, we will gladly point you in the direction of any alternative guilds you can join. (E.g. for Orcs, The Beastmaw Clan)

Any and all seeking to join the Shadows of Lordaeron is asked to have a 'fair' knowledge of Forsaken Lore and must be willing to take part in an IC interview at the Shadows of Lordaeron's headquarters of Caer Darrow or the Brill Town Hall.

All classes are welcome, this includes Death Knights. However, we approach Death Knights with the same policy we do with other races. We request that you have a good reason why your Death Knight, rather than fight for the Ebon Blade, would seek to join the ranks of the Shadows of Lordaeron and the Forsaken military.

Further Death Knight Information
The Forsaken and Death Knights are very similiar, at one point both were under the thrall of the tyrant Lich King, both of which in time broke free. Both of them sought and fought to earn vengeance against the Lich King, as such both have shared common goals. With this, the Shadows of Lordaeron opens its arms in welcome to Death Knights. Out of all Death Knights we welcome Forsaken Death Knights the most, yet the Shadows of Lordaeron also welcomes Death Knighs of other Horde races. Remember, a solid reason why your Death Knight wishes to fight under a Forsaken banner rather than Ebon Blade banner is required.
