Cult of Ner'zhul

The Cult of Ner'zhul was an organization of necromancers and warlocks in service to the Cult of the Damned during and after the events of the War against the Lich King.

Recieving its namesake from Ner'zhul, it was renowned for kidnapping and gruesomely torturing members of the Grand Alliance throughout the war. On more than one occasion, the cult sent its acolytes into Stormwind City to incite riots and commit ritual suicide on the steps of the Cathedral of Light.

After the Fall of the Lich King, the cult shifted its focus to regaining Icecrown from the Argent Crusade and removing Bolvar Fordragon from the frozen throne.

Fall of the Cult
In November of 29 L.C., the First Regiment of the Stormwind Army led an expedition into Zul'drak to destroy the remnants of the Cult of the Damned. In a climactic battle, the regiment destroyed the Cult of Ner'zhul's citadel and slew most of their number - forcing its survivors to flee.

The remnants of the Cult of Ner'zhul soon found new masters in the Cult of the Twilight's Hammer, founding the Eyes of Old as a new order.

What are we?
There has been a lot of confusion as to what exactly differentiates the Cult of Ner’Zhul and the Cult of the Damned. In a nutshell really, we are the sequel to the story behind. In a not so half-assed explanation we are first and foremost; a storyline, for you, the members. The vision behind this guild is the idea to somehow remove Highlord Bolvar Fordragon from the Frozen Throne, and to reclaim the Scourge once more for we still follow the ideals of the Damned (Those of Ner’Zhul, which is where our name originated.) Basically we are all connected simply by the fact that we all share the same religious views and want to see a true Lich King to return to power. Now that the introduction is out of the way, allow me to elaborate as to why we’re not the Cult of the Damned.

1. We are not connected to a greater power (The Lich King) and have no influence over the Scourge. There is no divine being holding us against our wills, we are all here willingly.

2. We hold a greater emphasis to the fact that we’re a storyline. Our purpose is to progress through our storyline as well as interact with other players who wish to be involved.

But what relates us to the Cult of the Damned?
Although we aren’t a knock-off Cult of the Damned, we still are associated with the former guild that was the Cult of the Damned. By this I mean that we follow similar rules and regulations that the Cult of the Damned had. It is important to not forget our in character past, even if you weren’t a part of it. These following are the rules we follow in order to be linked to the Damned.

1. We follow the same uniform code. Dark, depressing colours and always dress appropriate to rank.

2. Speech. We walk the walk but can we talk the talk? We aren’t a military organization or a guild of Gnews casters. We are a cult. By Cult I mean is we are a religion of ‘faceless’ members who share the same ideals and therefore serve their respected cause, being the cause of the Damned. We talk like Cultists. I will make a list of catch phrases that should be used (Don’t look at this as me telling you what

3. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. There is always THAT guy who wants to be the defiant cultist. Don’t. It will get you killed. Trust me; in character I have a zero tolerance for disrespectful and disobedient Cultists. You joined this Cult willingly, therefore it would be blatantly unrealistic to be treating your leaders with such disrespect, obviously if you joined you want to see the same final goal as myself and all the other Cultists achieved.
