Preface: Notes from the Author
Disclaimer: The following story is a work in progress, subject to change, and overall abortion (only if I get writer's block, or, rather, bored). Not only this, but it's my first story, as well, be it on FanFiction or on the topic of World of Warcraft. Furthermore, all characters in this story originate from either the video game, World of Warcraft, my mind itself, or from the stories, names, and characters of players on the Sentinels Server of World of Warcraft.
Please, also note that I haven't played the game since my account was cancelled in late October. Most of my references are coming from WoWwiki or from the World of Warcraft strategy guides. The thing is, there's so much lore, I can't get it all straight in one night. So, in case YOU couldn't, either, head over to WoWwiki . com (remove spaces) and search what you need. If you search the word 'Eversong', the top link should lead to the page for the woods in which they're camped out. They're in the mountians above the tower on Sunstrider Isle on the map halfway down the page.
Finally, I should update/add chapters daily, so as not to keep the readers bored. They're short chapters, I know, but this story you're reading is more of a rough draft/outline than a final story. More like a short story.
Note: Title, Lords of War, was originally the name of a Guild on the Sentinels Server, and thus the reasoning for the title. More insight will be provided as the story progresses.
-------------------------------------
Summary: This story is written from the alternating point of views of two Blood Elf brothers. Set in the year 26 (a.k.a. contemporary time of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade), this epic tale unfolds as two Sin'dorei embark down two very separate roads. As their roads increasingly diverge, there's no telling what's in store for the protagonists. Follow along with Fael'thor and brother Thaell as they embark from their homeland, exploring everything that Azeroth has to offer. From cities, to guilds, to warfare, they mature from children to men.
Thaell learns to respect his Horde brethren, and realizes what it means to be willing to sacrafice one's self completely for something of sentimental value. Fael learns to be compassionate, and remembers what it means to love, be it romantically, or otherwise. As Azeroth is plunged into a dangerous world of guild fueds, power-hungry corrupt leaders, and full out war with the Legion, it would be a miracle if either of these naive Elves could muster up the valor, perseverance, or skill that it will take to right what has been wrong.
-------------------------------------
Well, I hope that you enjoy the first chapter. It doesn't give much but a little insight into Thaell and Fael'thor's personalities, but hopefully it's satisfying enough. I'll be sure to add more over the next following days. Until then, enjoy!
