Early Life[]
(The following events are dated with the use of the Lotharian Calendar please bare this in mind)
Year -11 (Golden Age of Peace)[]
During his childhood, the lands of Lordaeron and it's ally Stormwind were very peaceful, and during such times little was thought of battle and war, despite this, Travis's older brothers wanted nothing more then to grow up and fight evil monsters and save princesses. So they all began training, much to Trav's dismay. However he joined in, watching from a distance as his brothers would brawl in the dirt. Life seemed to go on normally for him during this time, however due to his parents heritage (Mother being a High Elf and his father being a Human) people normally disliked him, weather it be because of the long life span or the "immoral" mating of different races, these events would shape him in years to come.
Year 0 (The First War)[]
The portal open and the tide of green savages raged through the once peaceful Eastern Kingdoms. Every able body was called to serve, this included both Trav's father and oldest brother. remaining behind at the age of ten he and his sister both wondered why they couldn't fight and help.
Year 4-7 (The Second War)[]
Not long after the defeat of Stormwind did the threat turn towards Lordaeron, recalling its armies and forming an Alliance against this Horde they would fight back. Marcus Morgan a fully pledged paladin of the Order of the Silver Hand was quickly given permission to train his sons in the way of the light, fearing they may soon need it. However seeing as they may need more then the light to help them Lady Aryea made sure the twins started training the way she was taught to fight, Though done in secret for fear of scrutiny from the public, Travis and his sister quickly became adept in the art of Spellbreaking, an art normally reserved for Pure-blood elves. This skill however was never mastered by Travis.
Year 8-18 (End of the Second War)[]
With the fighting in the north still great, and the danger of demons lurking in the shadows, Travis gave up all hope for a normal life, instead he excelled in swordplay and tactics. He quickly became a paladin under his father and brothers much to his mother's and sisters dismay, Lana however became a master huntress under her mothers teaching.
Year 20-23 (The Scourge of Loraderon)[]
Dressed in his new silver armor he rode into battle sword and light in hand as they overtook the armies ahead of them, but none expected what was to come about in the future. Days after an argument with his father about his desire for combat, the call to march was ordered, by Arthas Menethil himself. Soon after arriving at Stratholme and hearing what the Prince said, most of the paladins refused to even listen to the idea, however Travis either out of true loyalty to Arthas, or in rebellion against his father, stood his ground with Arthas and entered the city, screams and fire could be seen from the outer gates. Travis wanted to fight more then anything, but what he found inside the walls of Stratholme changed him forever. Resolved to do what must be done, he cut down every man, woman, and child contaminated by the incurable plague.
(Effects on the present)[]
To this day Travis can remember ever detail, every face, every scream. However he doesn't regret his choices. Even in his older age, he knows that it had to be done....but it haunts him ever still. Due to his choice to follow his Prince and abandon his oath to follow Uther, the Lightbringer cursed those who betrayed his orders, excommunicating them from the light. This however had little to no effect on those who felt they were doing the right thing, so Travis continued to use the light, however whenever visiting Uther's Tomb, his spirit brings memories and pain to all surviving sackers of Strathome, with no cure in sight except to leave the area.
(Battle for Northrend)[]
Now honor bound and headed for a cold death, Travis and the men under Arthas went north, in chase of a dreadlord. There they found nothing but...death, slowly Travis began to see madness come over the once great prince, After meeting with a group of dwarves commanded by a Bronzebeard Dwarf, the company moved to recover a dark blade...though none knew what horrors that blade would cause. Back in Lordaeron the Morgan family was busy fighting all waves of undead from swarming over the land like a giant wave. Lana even saw combat in Southshore. Though with the help of the Silver Hand, Lordaeron seemed to be holding back the undead at the boarders of their lands, the Bulwark held strong, and promise of a weapon to save them came at the hands of Alexandros Mograine, who was on his way to Ironforge.
(Returning home)[]
Travis was resting in the camp when news from the King reached them, quickly the men began moving through the forest towards the ships to escape the icy grave. Travis had seen first hand how the icy North had corrupted their Prince, and chose to move ahead of the main force with a small group of men to secure the ships. Leading his small group of Ex-Silver Hand Paladins through a lighter section of the forest, he was able to board a ship and begin the trip home, only to see his fellow brothers in arms stranded on a beach, with the remaining ships on fire, betrayed by their prince.
(Path of the Damned)[]
Returning home as quickly as possible, Travis went to Uther and tried to warn him of what had happened to the Prince. Uther, saw the truth in the group of Ex-Paladins and sent word to Sir Gavinrad who was stationed with Marcus Morgan in Andorhal. His orders were to return to the Capital City and protect the King at all cost. However it was too late. The bells of the city chimed with joy...as Frostmourne took its first, and with a single blow the Kingdom of Lordaeron had fallen. Arthas began to hunt down all who stood against him on his quest to revive the Kel'thuzad. With the Kingdom burning and no safe place in sight, the Morgans did what they could for the surviving citizens, Marcus and Tiberius held the roads outside of Capital City until they were eventually overrun. While Lana, Giramar, and Aryea helped refugees at Southshore. But the dark prince was coming, and no amount of elf magic would stop him, staying behind to help her people Lady Aryea went missing during the evacuation of the land. As Travis and his men rode as fast as they could to the Capital, all they found were bones, the undead had completely destroyed the city. They searched the area for survivors, but the undead were meticulous. Eventually Travis found his older brother, and his father, they had held the road to the south for hours...alone. Travis wept for them both and buried them both next to the once great city of Lordaeron. Taking his fathers sword "Oathkeeper" promising to find the rest of the family and keep them safe. Travis then left with the rest of the survivors and met up with the refugees at Southshore, including Lana and Giramar. The three then fled south to safety.
Year 24 (Aftermath)[]
Alone...cold...hungry. Once nobles in a great land, now no better then common beggars. Traveling together from one town to the next they made there way south, stopping only because of the endless South Seas and no way to cross...Lana being a master Huntress began working for the local trader in the small ransack town of Booty Bay. Giramar took up a hobby of fishing, while Travis did what he could as a smith, still haunted by the things he saw, and did...
Year 25 (Splitting up)[]
Even after months of hiding and running the Morgans were still found, news of the outside world began to make its way down the grapevine as battles taking place, cities flying around, Stormwind being rebuilt..and rebelling...the list went on, and for Travis and Giramar, Booty Bay was enough...but not Lana, she wanted to see the world, and she would get her chance, as a member of a newly formed Scarlet Crusade found his way to them in search of the renowned undead killing family. Much to his dismay both Trav and Giramar declined his offer, but Lana took advantage and decided to leave. After saying goodbye the brothers watched as their sister rode off into the forest on her way to a future...without them. It would be the last time they were all together...
The Burning Crusade[]
Year 26 (The Scarlet Crusade)[]
With news of the kidnapping of Stormwind's King Giramar suggested that they move to the capital and see if they could make a new name for themselves. With a heavy heart Trav agreed not wanting to lose another sibling. Quickly becoming engrossed as a merc for hire, Trav was quickly able to rekindle his abilities that had become rusty over the years, it was at this point that a letter from Lana arrived asking from them to come to north and fight the undead. With Giramar fully involved with a woman that he fell smitten with, Trav agreed to travel north, alone and leave Giramar to his troubled ways.
Year 26-27 (Height of the Crusade)[]
With the re-opening of the Dark Portal tensions rise but Travis and his fellow brothers and sisters in the Scarlet Crusade focus on the reclamation of Lordaeron, with their leadership strong and their goals noble, the scarlet clad army marches through the north. During this time, Travis is stationed in several different locations including the Scarlet Enclave, Hearthglen, and finally being stationed in the Scarlet Monastery.
Wrath of the Lich King[]
Year 27 (Revenge Served Cold)[]
With the forces of the scourge focusing its might on the Crusade, the Enclave fell, the other chapters of the Order became chaotic, however several leaders emerged from the loss of the Enclave, it was here that the Scarlet Onslaught was formed, a pitiful and weak attempt to grab fleeting power in Travis's opinion, he however remained a loyal member of the true Crusade, stationed from Hearthglen. Talk of a united force against the Lich King began to swirl, but any hope of Travis or his fellow Scarlet Crusaders joining was crushed when it was learned that the leader of the united front was none other then the traitor of the Silver Hand, Tirion Fordring. The Crusade, asside from some splinter groups, remained in Lordaeron, and even helped in the assault of Undercity with the Alliance, opening up the chance for a dialogue with them, to this end, Brother Crowley and an attache of men were sent to Stormwind to serve as ambassadors. Travis was one of those who were sent.
The Cataclysm[]
Year 28-29 (Crusader Morgan)[]
The battle of Ambermill
Quickly rising through the order to settle on the interesting position of Justicar of the Scarlet Crusade, a rather lofty title...with his skill in war, and talents with the sword. he quickly became an important figure, until the fall of the Crusade. Becoming a member of a small resolute chapter of crusaders now known as the Scarlet Hammer. During this time, he met his first love, Maryella Delcopper, a strong crusader born and raised in the heart Stormwind, the two soon were married and had a child, but their happiness would not last, a few months before the birth of their son, undead attacked Tyr's Hand, and she was killed in the attack. After a lengthy grieving process, Travis assisted by his sister became every important members of the chapter, until the Battle of Ambermill, Where hundreds of undead attacked, and few survived, Travis awoke in a small house in the middle of Silverpine, alone, his sister and the rest of his order was gone, missing or dead he did not know.
Mists of Pandaria[]
Year 30-31 (The Scarlet Consecration)[]
Travis still keeps to the training he received in the Crusade, while he still regrets his actions during the second war, he understands what needed to be done, was done, and continues to live by this practice, although the wish to settle and live in peace still live strong in his mind, and in his actions as he treads on..."For the crusade...for Lordaeron!"
Travis is currently under the banner of the Scarlet Consecration, a small chapter that survived the corruption of the larger branches. Lead by Highlord Silvis Ravenloke the order plans its next steps from the captured Scarlet Palisade.
With the recent increase of assistance and support the order has become a power in the North against the Truthful, enough to warrant an expedition to Northrend, to combat the main force of the Army of the Truthful.
After the reorganization of the Scarlet Consecration Travis went out on his own to fight his own demons... Leaving the branches of the Crusade behind, though he still is in communication with the Greater Order of the Scarlet Crusade.
Warlords []
Year 31 (Old Wounds)[]
For months the Order grows in strength, word spreads to Travis about survivors of the battle of Ambermill, his old brothers in arms, Ailardan Grenn, and Alterk Redblade...but times have changed and the friendship they once shared in the Hammer together vanish as Grenn and Redblade lead another Chapter of scarlets, known as the Scarlet Brigade. Unfortunately due to the death of a fellow brother in arms these two Scarlet Crusade orders now find themselves at each-others throats, along with assassins.
(Loss of a Brother)[]
It was also during this time that Travis lost contact with his brother Giramar, who had been a member of the Alliance Advanced Vanguard, a few of the first to be sent into the new portal.
Legion[]
Year 32 (The Legion Returns)[]
Two years later, Travis returns to the Capital of Stormwind, his old allies and enemies dead and gone, or drastically different then how he remembered them. His time in the north working for the Crusade had taken him out of the normal means of communication, like a man out of time he walked back into familiar streets, filled with new faces. With his home of Flames Rest Keep reclaimed and rebuilt, his work for the Crusade would take a break as the organization rebuilt. This left Travis with a unique chance to have a life away from the Order, even if it was for a short time. During the reclamation of Flames Rest, Travis was introduced to a Knight whom had also served not only Lordaeron but in the crusade for a time, his name was Tristram Clermont.
With his home now reclaimed he looked for other ways of returning the northern lands to their proper owners, he used his position as a noble to ally himself with the warriors of the Arathi Highlands under Mathilan Lionblood as they attempt to push back the undead from human lands. This also allowed him to remain close to the his old friend Veratos Tepes. This however didn't last as a low tolerance for former crusaders was avidly present with the warriors of Arathi resulting in him parting ways.
(The Remnant of Lordaeron)[]
Having retaken his home of Flames Rest Keep, and the surrounding lands of the valley Travis's vision of a united Lordaeron was once again revitalized. With the Scarlet Crusade in hiding and only some of its smaller chapters still publicly active Travis determined that the best solution to restoring the Kingdom of Lordaeron would be to get inducted into one of the several orders dedicated to doing such. Cardinal Niklos Adamant eventually convinced him to join the Remnant, with a slightly heavy heart Travis placed his scarlet colors in a chest at Flames Rest Keep, promising to return to the crusade should he ever be called. This relationship however didn't last as Travis was still torn between his radical scarlet upbringing and his want and determination for a better future, neither of these were in his sight while in the Remnant, so he respectfully excused himself.
Arianiie Andros and Travis Morgan by Keelerleah
Year 32-33 (The Highguard)[]
After the events within the Remnant, it was clear that the life of a Scarlet Crusader was not compatible with the current standings of Azaroth, therefore Travis officially retired from the Scarlet Crusade. Still fueled by the need to restore his home and defend the future, He moved to regain his rank and title as a member of the Silver Hand and requested a transfer to the Silver Hand Chapter of Quel'Thalas. After being accepted Travis began his fighting on Argus with his allies and sister order The Highguard. While there he met new and old friends, including Arianiie Andros. With her by his side, he fought through the waves of demons that were seemingly un-ending, until finally the Light's Accord called a meeting, to talk about the final assault on the throne of Antorus. The final battle to end the war, was almost there.
However, during the 'calm before the storm' period, Travis introduced Arianiie to Flames Rest, her potential new home after the war. It was there that she found Tristram Clermont again, the man that had helped save her during the escape of Lordaeron via Southshore. Hearing the details of his heroic actions that reminded him of his older brother and father, elevated Tristram to Master-at-arms of Flames Rest. This would make him a valued member of the Morgan Household, and give responsibilities as well as privilege. He would also be the third in command of the Duchy just under the Steward. While the Duke was away.
This infact happened quite often as Travis served as a member of the Round Table of Knights that help make decisions and choices for the Silver Hand Chapter of Quel'Thalas, though its Chapter Master is Dame Alwynen Dawnwrath.
Year 32-33 (End of the Crusade)[]
With his new and trusted allies, friends, and family, Travis marches side by side with the best of them. The Light's Accord, and its allies make the final push on the Burning Throne with the champions of Azeroth. Lead by Duke Maxen, the assembled allies stormed the defenses of Antorus, fighting back waves of demons and minions of Sargeras. Finally the heroes broke through the legion's lines and opened the way for other champions to push into the heart of the Seat of the Pantheon, and defeat the world soul within. However as the final battle raged, the surviving attackers rested aboard the Vindicaar, and bore witness to the events.
The wedding of Ari and Travis held in Suramar
Sargeras, in defeat drove his mighty blade into the heart of Azeroth, the heroes from the Light's Accord watched in terror as they watched the home they defended so valiantly be torn asunder, but at the last moment Sargeras was pulled back, leaving only a gushing wound in Silithus. Quickly the weary fighters reform and make their way to the barren wasteland to see how they can help. Travis and Arianiie both injured, stay behind at the temporary camp at Feathermoon Stronghold, and await further orders.
After the end of the war, Travis and Ari were finally wed in Suramar, with their friends in attendance, they also made the announcement that their first child was on the way.
(The Bleeding Wound)[]
With tensions between the Horde and the Alliance growing, Ranger Lady Dawnsorrow chooses to leave the Highguard in search of her nemesis Tendael Dawnlight what has been presumed dead. Rather then ask others to join her on this quest she goes alone, well aware of what will happen to the Highguard in her absence. At the same time the Silver Hand Chapter of Quel'Thalas's Chapter-Master Dame Dawnwrath, elects to go on a pilgrimage and retire. Leaving Lysander Reinhart in-charge of the dwindling numbers. With little option but to reform the order to help its numbers in the war to come, the Silver Hand chapter was reformed and is now under the banner of the Order of the Silver Dawn.
Asking the current Knights and anyone in the Highguard willing to join, Lysander assembled a loyal group of followers determined to be prepared for the war to come. Travis and his wife Arianiie both accepted positions in the new order and eagerly prepared for the future of the Silver Dawn.
(The Calm before the Storm)[]
With the Highguard dismantled, and its members going their own separate ways, Travis dedicated himself to the Silver Dawn, and to his wife. The Legion was gone and it seemed that war itself had come to an end, but in a last act of defiance the dark titan had done more damage then the legion ever could. His blade opened a wound in the planet, allowing for a powerful mineral known as Azurite to surface. Both the Horde and the Alliance notice this new power source and quickly race towards another war. Hesitant to get involved, the Silver Dawn instead sends advisers to the Grand Alliance, but they quickly realize that the fighting has already been escalated. Skirmishes all over the south of Kalimdor have begun to increase in size and frequency. The dawn of a new war...has begun. Meanwhile, in Flames Rest, Arianiie delivers their first child into the world, Conner, unaware of the conflicts of the world.
(Blood Maul Conflict: Flames of War)[]
The Alliance forces at the Flames of War event: Blood Maul
A few weeks after the birth of their son, Arianiie and Travis find themselves on the shoreline of Feralas shoulder to shoulder with the best the Alliance had to offer. The First Regiment lead by Lord Montclair, the Blades of Greymane lead by Berenal Grayblade and even the Lion of Lordaeron himself, Kerdic Lothinil. Together the forces of the Alliance attempted to hold off the Banshee Queens Horde, but were eventually overrun. Forced to retreat many were captured including Travis and Arianiie. Told by their captors they would be treated with respect the two waited in chains for the battle to swing either way. But the Forsaken had other plans, then the main bulk of the horde left to fight the final battle, several lieutenants of the Banshee Queen stayed behind to "accommodate" the prisoners. Torture, and experiments followed for several hours. Eventually the fighting ended and an Alliance rescue team was launched to save them before the victorious horde returned to their base. In the end the prisoners were rescued, thanks to Scorvash Darkvalor and the members of the Silver Dawn, but both would need time to recover from these terrible war crimes.
(Fall of Dawn's Vigil)[]
With horde aggression rising the Order of the Silver Dawn assembled their forces at their base of Dawn's Vigil, a small outpost just south west of Tyr's Hand. There the forces of the Silver Dawn withheld a massive surprise attack lead by the same Forsaken who captured both Travis and Arianiie during the battle of Feralas Adriel Townend. Waves of undead crashed against the walls, until finally they broke through, civilians ran for the safety of the ships and tried to escape as best as they could, but there was not enough time for everyone to get out. The champions of the Silver Dawn held their ground and bought them time...or at least that was what they thought. Adriel Townend suddenly and mercilessly deployed his own custom concoction of the forsaken plague of undeath on the escaping civilians before retreating. Unable to make the hard choices the Highlord of the order abandoned the front and the survivors to their own fate. Electing to sail to a safe coastline and eventually make their way to the Morgan's home of Flames Rest, the remaining Silver Dawn left their order's headquarters burning...and their tabards behind, no longer would any of them tolerate loss like this.
(A new Chapter: The Citrine Eagle)[]
After the fall of the Silver Dawn, the survivors made their way to Flames Rest, after a few days of recovery, four of the surviving leadership met up with The Citrine Eagle at one of their recently captured bunkers in the Alterac mountains. Having heard what happened Matriarch Blackmoore, welcomed them into the order and thus the four of them, Travis Morgan, Arianiie Morgan, Scorvash Darkvalor and Nina Darkvalor, all began a new chapter in their lives, as Eagles.
(Shadows of Ashenvale Conflict: Flames of War)[]
In the following weeks after joining the Citrine Eagle, Ari and Trav found their place in the order, eventually having their knighthoods recognized by the Eagle's Silver Hand Chapter. This could not come soon enough as the growing conflict between the Horde and Alliance reached violent odds, when a seemingly unarmed Tauren Ambassador was killed after failing to adhere to the faction lines. This sparked a pseudo conflict that called in members from all over the Alliance and Horde territories, to fight in the forests of Ashenvale. Many on both sides saw this battle as meaningless and a waste a young lives, but the Horde had an alternate agenda, testing the defenses of the Alliance and the forest itself.
(Signing of the Covenant of Lordaeron Charter)[]
With the battle in Ashenvale concluded. The people of Lordaeron stir, many see the coming conflict as a chance to once again reclaim their home. A meeting is set up and hosted by the Argent garrison at Hearthglen, however the meeting was soon met with biased opinions and a lack of professionalism, resulting in the delegation of assembled Lordaeronians, noble and commoner, to ride for the nearest Alliance held lands. At the small outpost of Chillwind, the people of Lordaeron met, and with the assistance of the Alliance ambassador, signed the charter of the Covenant into being. The signators, all pledging themselves to the rightful heir to Lordaeron under the banner of the Alliance.
(Burning of Teldrassil: War of the Thorns)[]
With the Citrine Eagles solidifying their alliance with the Stormpike's of Alterac, before marching on Silithus. The Horde turned towards the World Tree, Teldrassil, home of the Kaldorei. Word quickly spread and like minded warriors of the Alliance answered the call, Lead by Kerdic Lothinil a small taskforce of skilled paladins, priests and other experts landed on the beaches of Darkshore. Among those present, were Travis and Arianiie Morgan, Silvwin Andervell, and several other members from various orders.
During the first few hours of the battle, it seemed that the Alliance and the few Darnassian defenders would be able to hold off the seemingly limitless Horde forces until reinforcements arrived. This was later confirmed as the Night Elven fleet returned from Silithus to reinforce the beleaguered defense.
Night fell and everything was quite back at the forward operating base of Lor'danel, there the taskforce urged it's members to send word to their various orders to send immediate help. Word had already reached the High King of the Alliance who was preparing the various regiments of the Eastern Kingdom to assist. As the fighting continued in the distance, word spread through the camp of the Horde plot to claim the tree and those inside of it as hostages...a plan that would split the Alliance and bleed them dry. It was a somber idea for all that heard it. Darkness fell on those that day. Moral fell as they awaited the morning light.
Then a cry was heard, from the north, and from the Overlord himself. The words 'for the horde' echoed through the forests as the defenders realized they were surrounded. Calls rang out for troops to move and the Taskforce was quickly split, Travis and the others heavily armored would remain in Lor'danel, while those gifted in healing like his wife Arianiie would retreat to Teldrassil, and assist with the wounded. The battle lasted only the day. As night once more began to fall, the Lor'danel fell with it...the valiant defenders lead by Delaryn Summermoon had been defeated. It was only by the will of the light that Travis and a few of the others from the taskforce, with their backs to the sea, were rescued by a few weary Hippogryphs, seemingly called by the forest to save them.
(Tournament of Ages: 2018)[]
Travis Attended the tournament as a member of the Citrine Eagle, and a representative of Lordaeron. He hosted the sparring competition and helped in honoring the victors. He also placed 2nd in the Joust.
Battle for Azeroth[]
Year 33 (Siege of Tirisfal: Flames of War)[]
Prior to the battle of the Siege of Tirisfal
Travis joined survivors of Lordaeron with his friend Owaeran Umbardacil and his wife Arianiie he helped the Alliance forces push back the armies of the Horde in preparation to attack the City of Lordaeron. During the first stage of the battle, several people were taken prisoner by the Horde's forces. This included Zaria Blackmoore, Rilennia Shadowmist, and his wife Arianiie Morgan. Travis and a few others attempted a rescue that was only partially successful. Zaria lost her arm, and Rilennia was murdered. The rescue and the resulting 'victory' against the horde lead to the full Battle for Lordaeron. Though a victory, this battle aged Travis, for he had not seen such death and destruction since the Battle of Ambermill.
Year 33 (The Blood War)[]
During the war, Travis continued to push for Lordaeronian influence in the Alliance, but many pushed back. He helped legitimize the Covenant of Lordaeron, a provisional government over Alliance controlled territory he then became it's first Secretary Chancellor. He participated in several large conflicts, including the Battle for Stromgarde. However was not present for much of the war personally as matters of state, and family occupied him greatly.
Year 34 (Conquest: Siege of Najatar)[]
Travis at his home in Flames Rest post Blood War
The war however took a major toll on him, and he grew very sick for a time. He eventually retired from public life, and spent several months recuperating. During this time, his alliances with fellow nobles in the Covenant of Lordaeron began to fall apart, as well as his marriage. So it was to not cause anymore pain for either of them Arianiie and Travis separated. For the second time in his life, he had lost someone he loved. This caused him to close himself off from everyone, even his allies in the Citrine Eagle. He blamed himself for it's failure, but refocused on raising his now motherless son Conner.
Year 34-35 (Returning Home)[]
With the war against N'zoth finished, and a new dawn rising on Azeroth, Travis finds himself, revitalized. Stronger and wiser, Travis sets out from Flames Rest with Conner to end their self imposed exile from the world. His first step beings him back to his family, the Citrine Eagle, and Zaria Blackmoore who welcomes them back with open arms. There is much to do however, and the Eagle has changed over the year and a half Travis has been gone. New faces, and old friends now retired, continue to make Travis feel much older then he is. But with his son in tow, and a new determination, he sets his sights on a brighter future.
The Shadow's Crescendo: Eagle Campaign[]
Called by a fellow member of the Citrine Eagle to help track down and kill a void being of incredible power known as Nal'ageth. The eagles including Travis all travel to Alpine Lodge to stop this growing menace that threatens more then just the hidden valley of Talongrab.
During the long campaign to grow the Eagle strength before their inevitable showdown with the creature herself new members, and unlikely allies joined the fray. Mugmug the ogre, Kienton Robertson, and Madaillyn Claire among them.
Just a few days after they joined they were expected to fight side by side with the others, a daunting task for any snowcap given the circumstances. So Travis pulled both Robertson and Claire aside and prepared to test them. They showed amazing aptitudes for teamwork, though still leaning heavily into their own fighting styles. Kienton favoring range and spells, and Madaillyn favoring brute force and headbutting. Regardless of the rough edges the two snowcaps managed to best Travis in their fight, earning his respect and friendship.
Over the next few days all of the eagles would be pushed to the limit, many were lost in the fighting. Justicar Shindo Malphur lost his squire to one of the deadly traps in Nal'ageth's arsenal, locking her away until her vial evil was eventually defeated. Friends and associates were lost during the fighting. It reminded Travis of the Battle of Ambermill so many years ago. It wasn't just the number of losses, it was how they were lost. The final sacrifice came from both the Lord and Lady of Alpine Lodge when they gave their lives so that the Eagles had a chance. Death for all of the Eagles was a real possibility in the coming fight, which forced Travis to reflect on his life, and his actions. His mind drifted to his young son Conner back home in Flames Rest, his friends and family spread all over Azeroth. They had no idea what was going on, or why he was risking his life, but regardless, he would protect them.
During the days leading up to the final confrontation with Nal'ageth. Travis and Madaillyn grew closer as they shared a similar past. Where Travis at first saw someone to take under his wing, he now saw a companion. They stood together with the other Eagles as the sky opened up and void tore through the land of Alpine Lodge devastating the area. The Eagles charged into the breach and faced off against Nal'ageth herself. With the power of the allies they had gathered, the fight was almost won. But before victory could be claimed and the final blow struck, the White Lion Company arrived. Lead by the Seeker and his minions they stole the final blow on Nal'ageth and siphoned her power. All the exhausted Eagles could do was watch as they kidnapped the Commander of the Icewing Brigade and flew off. Travis and Daniel Morsin had both been gregariously wounded during the battle but were both stabilized by Madaillyn's healing, Valeria Gorewalker had her rune blade broken was seemingly dead and most of Alpine Lodge had been wiped out from the void attacks.
Nal'ageth was defeated, but victory was hollow, their true enemy had escaped and their Commander kidnapped. Despite the sour tone, Travis and Madaillyn sought comfort in each other as something more then friendship began to blossom in the wake of tragedy. She nursed him back to full health and the Eagles looked over a void scorched earth, all vowing vengeance on the White Lion Company.
(Wedding of Zaria and Erinali: It's about time)[]
Over the next few weeks the Eagles attempted to recover from the losses they had taken. But in the wake of such sadness, a celebration was poised to raise everyone's spirit. Zaria Blackmoore, and Erinali Ainsworth were finally going to make their union official. Talongrab and friends were abuzz with newfound excitement.
The wedding of Zaria and Erinali
Travis took the opportunity to grow closer with Madaillyn, though for the time being, they chose to keep their relationship just between themselves and focus on the wedding. It was held on the Blackmoore estate in Talongrab and many friends and allies were invited. The ceremony was rather short, but emotional, fitting for the two. The reception however was where the part really began, music, dancing, food, and a gift line that almost went out the door. Everyone was ready to congratulate the happy couple on their union. On the suggestion of Madaillyn, Travis crafted two matching time pieces for them with an eagle design. He and Madaillyn then spent the rest of the rest of the night, playfully dancing with Conner and enjoying the festivities.
(Tournament of Ages: 2020)[]
Eagles Claim 2nd Place!
It was finally that time of the year again, the mighty Tournament of Ages had returned, and bigger and better then ever. The faction peace made this year even more special. Hostiles would be a little lower then normal, but regardless the tension was still high. This year Travis assisted once again with peacekeeping on the grounds with the Argent Crusaders, a task he found, a little undignified due to the uniform but preformed regardless.
Cheered on by Madaillyn from the stands, Travis joined the Alterac Avalanche carpball team as a rookie and helped drive them all the way to the finals. Claiming the team silver against the Stormwind Skytalons. The rookie team were all printed their own rookie cards and celebrated their push to the end, despite the loss.
For Travis however the tournament offered a chance to grow closer with Madaillyn which he eventually did. As a future birthday present for her, he got her a baby otter which she promptly named Oswald.
(Conquest: In Death's Shadow)[]
In the following weeks of relative peace due to the armistice, Travis focused his attention on his relationships with his friends and allies, growing closer with people within the Alliance and reconnecting with old acquaintances from Lordaeron. During this time Travis returned to Flames Rest with Maddy, and introduced her to Conner. The time of peace was short lived and soon news of scourge had been sighted as far south as Westfall. The Grand Alliance held an emergency meeting and learned that the Argent Crusade had been pushed from their positions in Northrend. Fear gripped the people of the Alliance and Horde, and talk of a new Lich King began to spread.
It was decided that Travis, representing the Citrine Eagle would travel to Hearthglen with other representatives to meet with Argent leaders Rease Stoneheart for an update. Their worst fears were made manifest as they learned that the Argent Crusade had been pushed from all their positions in the North, and that the Tournament grounds were surrounded.
Within hours word was spread to mobilize, a joint coalition of Horde, Alliance, and Neutral forces would mass and sail north to land in Dragonblight and begin the second great assault on Icecrown. Zaria Blackmoore was made Marshal of the Coalition and named the campaign, Operation: Valiance.
During the campaign to reclaim Icecrown, Maddy and Travis came to some realizations about their relationship, and separated because of them, but remain good friends to this day.
Over the course of a week, the Coalition swept over the un-organized army of the dead and marched back into Icecrown to reclaim the supposedly empty seat of the Lich King only to find that agents of the 'Maw' were behind the undead attack.
Many died in the final battle of the campaign including:
- Field Marshal: Vincent Ravenwing
- Commander: Hildira Phillips
- Sir: Daxos St. Cyr
- Doctor: Ardvertan Melkarn
- Arash Grissom
- Jamie Allialynn
This battle also left Lady Tilliea Furlbrow in critical condition.
After the dust had settled, the Coalition returned to their respective continents, knowing full well that this was simply the calm before the storm.
Shadowlands[]
(The following events were not done with knowledge of the Shadowlands Afterlife Events)
Year 35-37 (A Life Renewed)[]
In the aftermath of the Northrend campaign Travis was assigned by Zaria Blackmoore as the Citrine Eagle representative to the Argent Crusade, assisting with the rebuilding efforts Travis Morgan eventually returned south to re-assume his normal duties.
Squire Ainsley's Trial
It was during this time that Travis began to court the then Scarlet Crusader Livvy Dane.
Over the course of the next few months, Travis travelled between Talongrab, and Flames Rest, helping push back remnants of the scourge that had been unleashed as a result of the sky shattering event. Though unsure if the sky would ever be fully repaired, Travis focused on bettering himself as a paladin. Travis completed his Trail of Humility and recovered the ancient blade of Sir Kyorick Lerson from the depths of a Eastern Plaguelands cave.
Travis was present at several of his Hath Stand brothers and sisters trails including.
- Squire Ainsley
- Knight Veliuss Belmonte
- Jebediah Freeman
- Knight William Hawke
(Conquest: Tropic Sunder)[]
Giramar Morgan's Ship The Crimson Ghost
With the larger threat of the undead slowly being dealt with, a new threat on Azeroth reared it's ugly head. To the south of Stormwind, rumors began to circulate of rebels, trolls, and rogue goblin trading companies preparing for something big. In a pre-emptive move the Grand Marshal of Stormwind, Duke Maxen Montclair called the Alliance to muster and march south into Stranglethorn dubbed: Operation Greenwall.
The Marshal's Fury (Prototype)
Knowing the Eagles would be participating, Travis contacted his outlaw brother Giramar and managed to secure him a pardon in return for assistance in the southern campaign. Using his brother's ship the Crimson Ghost, the Eagles sailed south with their new weapon of war. A prototype tank designed by Stormpike engineers and built by Alteraci hands.
The battles were bloody, and the heat sequestering, but the Alliance, adjoining Horde forces, and Neutral parties managed to push back the enemies gathering their forces, though it was not without loss. The battle however only continued to show that something odd was going on. The elevated levels of rational and intelligent undead were becoming too great to ignore. For now though, Travis and the Citrine Eagles returned home to Talongrab.
Travis and Livvy married in a private ceremony overlooking Flames Rest Lake.
(Wedding to Livvy Dane)[]
A few months after starting their courtship, and her subsequent abandonment of the Scarlet Crusade, Livvy joined up with the Citrine Eagle, and a few months later in a private ceremony the two were married by Lady Eden Mabry in their home of Flames Rest. Witnessing the event was Knight Alexander Hughes, Anna Leiaril, Keridae Swifthammer, James Vranon and a few other members of the Morgan Household. Giramar even attended though he remained out of the way.
(Birth of the Twins)[]
Months passed and the two newlyweds continued to fight side by side with one another, time seemed to blur for the two as they settled into their roles in the Citrine Eagle. It was only a matter of time before the fruits of their 'labors' began to show among their fellow Eagles. Nearly nine months from their time in the snows of Northrend huddled in a tent for warmth Livvy gave birth to their twins Cynric and Felicity in Flames Rest.
(Tournament of Ages 2021)[]
Both Livvy and Travis attended the Tournament under the banner of the Citrine Eagle. Travis assisted with peacekeeper duties, and helped oversee the dueling arena while Livvy helped with the Eagle's Wheel. It was an awkward time due to the events of the world around them, but it gave both of the Morgans a look at life off the battlefield.
(Making their own path)[]
In the wake of the Tournament and the subsequent return to their normal duties it became clear of a few things. Neither of them wanted to be far from their newborns and their home. With reluctance both of them requested an indefinite leave of absence from the Eagle, to focus on their children, building up Flames Rest as a bastion for refugees and to explore the growing popularity of a return of the Lordaeronian council.
(A break from the front lines)[]
Travis serves as an advisor to the provisional Lordaeronian Council looking to restore some semblance of order in the north given the power vacuum. Based out of Flames Rest he is at the epicenter of talks and has devoted himself greatly to the restoration. He also has dedicated a large amount of his time to family vowing to keep them safe and forever at the forefront of his thoughts. During this time he made sure that he resides in his home of Flames Rest with his wife Livvy Morgan, and his three children, Conner, Cynric, and Felicity.
(Reconnecting with family)[]
Over the time away from the front lines and with the turmoil of Azeroth seemingly quelled for the time being Travis dedicated himself to the reconstruction of Lordearon. News quickly spread across the scattered surviving nobility of Lordaeron when the Desolate Council managed to purify the above ground capital city of Lordaeron. While a ceasefire had been called between the Alliance and the Horde, the northern lords, including Travis plotted strategies on reclaiming their former home, should the peace talks fail. It was during this time that Giramar finally emerged from the shadows and attempted to mend the rift between the two brothers. Renouncing his claim on Flames Rest as the elder brother Giramar reforged the family bond and was offered a place at Travis's side. A position which he accepted, but still spends most oh his time at sea.
Dragonflight[]
Year 40 (Post Time Skip)[]
Three years of peace followed closely after the mysterious events of the 'Shadowlands' with many including Travis and Livvy totally unaware...
(Whats been going on?)[]
In the years of peace that followed those events, House Morgan only grew. Travis and Livvy were blessed with two more children. Travis "Trip" Morgan III, and Remembrance "Remy" Morgan. The reconstruction of Flames Rest was finally completed, restoring it's status as a fully fledge Duchy of Lordaeron. While plans to reclaim the capital from the Desolate Council had faded due to the temporary ceasefire turned official truce, aspirations for the men and women of Lordaeron to reclaim their homes never faded. Resettlement efforts of the now lush and healthy Eastwald (Previously known as the Eastern Plaguelands) began in Year 38 and have had great success. Previous nobles turned destitute begin returning to their ancient seats of power, causing Flames Rest to become a waystation for many returning north. A group of likeminded nobles along with Travis and Livvy form a provisionary Coalition of Lordaeron. Their goals are to slowly implement an alliance between the returned nobility, the settlers, and reclaimed lands to form a Grand Duchy of the Northern Lords. While this plan is still in it's infancy, news comes from Stormwind, the dragons are stirring...

Relationships[]
Travis has had many relationships in his time on Azeroth, most are not worth mentioning, these are the ones that are.
Livvy Dane[]
Livvy Dane born Deliverance Dane in year 10. She was raised in the outskirts of Gilneas City by her mother Constance Harston and her father Balan Dane. She was the younger sister of Cynric Dane. She and her brother were close despite the seven year age gap between them. Her early years saw her the subject of much bullying due to her bright red hair and odd name. Her name was an inherited tradition from her mother, while her hair was genetically given by her father, whos family were originally from Lordaeron and were apart of the merchant class. This bullying was eventually halted when her older brother Cynric taught her how to fight back. After this point in her childhood she introduced herself as Livvy. It was at this point in her life that she realized she enjoyed the rough side of life, and began seeking adventures in the seedy parts of the city. She and her father who ran several illegal underground fighting rings came to many disagreements over the years eventually coming to a head when Cynric and Livvy confronted him. This lead to a physical altercation which lead to Balan's death at Livvy's hands in year 28 (Battle for Outland).
After the death of her father she never saw her mother Constance again. Livvy stayed low and moved in with her elder brother who at this point had a large family. She stayed with them until year 30 and the Invasion of Gilneas. During this event she lost her brother Cynric, and his wife, as well as presumably all of her nieces and nephews. After the Invasion, Livvy wandered, searching for a purpose and for several years was employed as a tracker/hunter in the southern regions near Elwynn.
Some time later, after the end of the Fourth War, she met Altrek Redblade of the Scarlet Brigade. Luring her into the order with a promise of revenge against the undead that killed her family, a home, and comradery she eventually joined the Scarlet Crusade. Spending a month in the order as a scout, during one of her off days, she happened upon Travis Morgan in Stormwind. Travis was recovering from Operation: Valiance, a joint campaign to push the scourge back into Icecrown. During their time in Stormwind, the two quickly bonded over their similar situations in life. Over the course of the next few months, the two saw each other in relative secrecy as the Citrine Eagle and the Scarlet Brigade were not the kindest of allies. Before long the two had grown rather close, and the distance between them was becoming annoying.
In late year 35, Travis asked Livvy to come and live at Flames Rest with him, she accepted and did her best to be there as often as possible. However her duties to the Scarlet Brigade continue to pull her away. After a mission where Travis was tasked with being the Alliance representative with the Argent Crusade's rebuilding effort in Icecrown roughly three months after the initial attacks, Livvy join him there and they considered a more permanent solution to their living arrangements. Livvy then decided that she would not return to the Scarlet Brigade, and instead would eventually join Travis in the Citrine Eagle.
Over the course of the next few months the two grew closer and closer, working together on missions and even serving in (Conquest: Tropic Sunder) together. After the conclusion of the southern campaign the two finally decided to make their partnership official and in a private ceremony in Flames Rest the two were married on April 16th year 36.
Over the next few months their marriage blossomed and the two eventually welcomed twins. Cynric Morgan named after Livvy's late brother, and Felicity Morgan. During this time Livvy spent her time between Flames Rest and Talongrab and her duties with the Eagles. It was during this point in time that she began gathering people and building her own personal hunting lodge in the forests of Flames Rest. She continued to support Travis during this time as he began talks with fellow lords and ladies about the resettlement of reclaimed Lordaeronian lands.
(Post Time Skip)
During the three years of rest and peace that followed Livvy and Travis would have two more children. First came Travis Morgan III who continued on the tradition of his father's namesake. A little over a year later they had another daughter Remembrance Morgan, as a sign of respect for Livvy's own mother.
Conner Morgan[]
Conner is Travis's son. He is currently being raised in Flames Rest, as he is groomed to be the heir of House Morgan. Though he frequents the halls of Talongrab with his father on many occasion. At the age of three he became an older brother to his twin step-siblings Cynric and Felicity, who he has since learned to treat full blooded family.
(Post Time Skip)
Now eight years old, Conner continues to serve as heir to Flames Rest, but now takes a much more active role. Acting as his father's squire during meetings or public events like the Tournament of Ages, Conner has become very worldly and mature for his age. While he doesn't show signs of wanting to pursue the skills of a paladin he has taken great care in the arts of hunting, normally spending days at a time with his Step-Mother Livvy at her hunting lodge in Flames Rest.
Cynric Morgan[]
Cynric is the (older) twin sibling of Felicity Morgan born prior to the three years of peace.
(Post Time Skip)
Cynric, now five years old is much quieter and reserved then his older brother Conner, or his twin sister Felicity, preferring picture books, a quiet room, and a comfy seat by the grand fireplace to enjoy his time in relative peace. He has however taken enjoyment when Travis takes him fishing.
Felicity Morgan[]
Felicity is the (younger) twin sibling of Cynric Morgan born prior to the three years of peace.
(Post Time Skip)
Felicity, now five years old is extremely active for her age, preferring to be outdoors, climbing trees and causing all sorts of mischief. She gets along well with her older brother Conner, and enjoys watching him prepare to squire for their father. She has openly stated she wishes to grow up to be a paladin like her father, and enjoys spending time with him at his forge, and during gryphon training.
Travis Morgan III[]
Travis or Trip was born during first of the three years of peace (during the time skip). He greatly resembles his uncle Giramar, having the bright red hair but sporting blue eyes like his uncle and grandmother.
Remembrance Morgan[]
Remembrance, or Remy for short was born during the second year of the three years of peace (during the time skip). She is an almost carbon copy of Livvy in terms of looks and is named in honor of both Livvy and her grandmother.
Madaillyn Claire[]
Madaillyn or Maddy was born and raised in Stratholme, Lordaeron before the fall of the Kingdom. She was moved to the capital at a young age and escaped the devastation at the hands of scourge by fleeing to Stormwind. Growing up in the south she eventually trained as a paladin just before the start of the Fourth War. Due to the necessity for troops she was pushed through years of training in just a few months and sent off to fight. However she didn't end up doing much fighting, rather she was placed on administrative duties and given mounds of dreaded paperwork to sift through
.png){kind=link}
Travis and Maddy Pre-Operation:Valiance
for the majority of the war. This would be a defining character point that would later lead her to joining the Citrine Eagle after the end of the war seeking adventure, and glory that she never got to experience. It was here that she met Travis Morgan and her fellow new recruit Keinton Robertson. A cocky, headstrong, but experienced paladin, Travis first wished to size up the two new snowcaps with a small spar. She and Kienton worked well together and overcame Travis. Impressed, Travis immediately took a liking to her headstrong personality and the inner desire for greatness. Though even at this point he had no idea that his feelings of being a mentor to her, would soon change. Their future battles against the Dark Void creature Nal'ageth pushed all of the Eagles to the breaking point. In one battle Travis failed to protect Maddy from being injured. This affected him more then normal and forced him to think about why he was feeling this way. In the downtime between battles the two talked, their pasts and struggles so similar that it soon formed a bond between them. Travis still recovering from his divorce almost a year and a half prior was hesitant to open his heart so quickly, but after another battle, and fighting side by side with her, he was open to the chance.
Just before the final days of battling Nal'ageth, the two agreed to a relationship if they survived. Though Travis was gravely injured in the final battle, she nursed him back to health. Choosing to keep their relationship to themselves for now the two grew closer day by day. Eventually Travis showed her his home of Flames Rest, and introduced her to his son Conner, who quickly took a liking to her, despite his young age.
The two attended the wedding of Zaria and Erinali together with Conner, which raised some eyebrows, but didn't seem to bother many. Travis was in his element when it came to social events, but Maddy, needed some encouragement. But after a dance display from young Conner, she seemed to open up to the idea. The two shared a great evening and retired from the party a little earlier then the others.
ToA timed sketch by Irishmoo of Maddy and Travis
Soon the time came for the Tournament of Ages, and Travis of course was participating. Maddy on the other hand chose to help out with the Citrine Eagle booth, which meant that Travis was never far away, stealing a moment from her whenever he could. She cheered him on during carpball, and sparring. The two grew closer every day, with only a few watchful eyes figuring out the two were together. Eventually Travis managed to bust through some of Maddy's larger emotional barriers and pull out her first confession to him.
The two were happy for a time, and with threat of the Old Gods seemingly snuffed out, Travis offered Maddy a place for her to stay in Flames Rest, which she accepted. The two lived together for a few months until private matters pulled Maddy away towards a conflict outside Stratholme for a time. Upon her return Travis and Madaillyn had time to breath and in that time found some issues in their relationship. However before having a chance to mend these issues the scourge began attacking Azeroth again. During the first few days of the joint military effort in northrend coined: Operation: Valiance. The two decided to end the romantic side of their relationship, but still remain close friends and comrades.
Maryella Delcopper[]
A fighter from birth, this young woman was born in the heart of Stormwind right before it fell to the Horde, quickly growing up in a world ravaged by war, she became an adept fighter. Raised by her parents in Lordaeron after they escaped, she fell in love with the land and swore as a small child that she would one day grow up to a be a strong knight for the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Years later after the fall, she joined the Scarlet Crusade to keep that promise. There she met Travis, and after a few months of courting, the two married, seeing as the life expectancy of a crusader was less then two years. They were both happy for a time before they both learned that they were going to have a son, overjoyed the two celebrated, as did the chapter they were apart of. Then the celebration stopped with the sound of undead marching on the gates of Tyr's Hand. The battle lasted hours, but eventually a small group of undead made it inside the walls, worried for her husband who was outside fighting, Maryella, rushed out to help, she was met by a necromancers blade to the back. Travis turned to see the group of necromancers attempting to raise the fallen so he quickly ended them and rushed to his wife's side, blood pooled around her as he sat her against the Tyr's Hand fountain. The two shared one last embrace before she passed. Fueled with the pure fires of revenge, Travis slaughtered every enemy he could get his hands on...by the end of the battle his emerald encrusted blades were glowing with heat, so the title of Fel Flame was given to the now grieving husband. Like all crusaders Maryella's body was burned, but instead of her ashes being stored with her fellow fallen crusaders, her and their son's remains were buried in her former home of Stormwind. Travis visits their graves every time he visits the city.
Silvis Ravenloke[]
The Highlord of the Scarlet Consecration not much is known about this strong-willed woman, she was born in Darrowshire, and survived the events of the fall of Lordaeron. She then joined multiple chapters of the Scarlet Crusade until she started her own. She met Travis in Stormwind, months after his last contact with a fellow Scarlet chapter, seeing his potential and experience she convinced him to join and quickly made him an unofficial adviser. After weeks of working closely together the two began to show romantic feelings towards each other, Travis assisted her in dealing with hard choices for the order, and she served as a reason for Travis to keep going. The two began to open up more and more to each other over then next few months, but due to constant assassination attempts and conflict the two chose to keep their relationship a secret, despite this, after the expedition to Northrend, Travis asked Silvis if she would marry him, she agreed but only after the war was over, as she did not want to risk his life. This however didn't last as differences developed and eventually they separated, with Travis realizing that the relationship and the chapter itself, was doomed to fail.
Veratos Tepes[]
Veratos Tepes was one of the first people Travis connected with after joining the Scarlet Hammer, both young and dumb the two fought together and grew fairly close, a few misadventures in adolescence lead them into some embarrassing situations. She was one of the only people Travis deeply cared for after the passing of his wife, but before those feeling could develop into anything serious they were separated. The last time Travis saw her was at the Battle of Ambermill.
Travis later found her in Stormwind four years after the battle as he adventured south after reclaiming Flames Rest Keep. They remained on speaking terms for a few years, but eventually had a falling out.
Arianiie Andros[]
Ari and Travis met not long after he found himself retired from the life of the Crusade, seeking to continue the fight against demons and other threats he looked to rejoin the Silver Hand. After regaining his rank and title in the order he requested transfer to the Silver Hand Chapter of Quel'Thalas. There he trained and studied until one evening where the order and its sister order, The Highguard, met for a retreat. That was the first time Travis layed eyes on Arianiie, to him she was a quiet woman, but an odd aura about her drew him in for conversation, they talked and suddenly they were alone, the party had ended but they were completely oblivious. Their quick relationship was jump started by their shared trauma, a lack of something to return home to after the fighting was over. They both needed a source of comfort, and they seemed to find it in each other. Though neither wanting to rush anything, especially due to the difference in rank and the current war brewing, the two however have chosen to officially begin the courting process. They grow closer every day while fighting on the scorched lands of Argus, and every night comforting each other by the fire.
Its been over a month and the defeat of the legion is inevitable heroes and waves of allies storm the gates of the burning throne. Travis and Arianiie have grow much close in the time spent fighting the enemy, so much so that their teamwork has even earned them the blessing of Ranger Lady Dawnsorrow. The two now committed to each-other fight onward with the promise of a future together.
Just days before the final battle of the burning throne, Travis asks Arianiie to marry him after telling him some very happy news, she accepted his proposal and the two begin planning, the only hurtle left to them....the legion of demons, ending the war.
With the war over, Ari and Trav were married in Suramar with Sister Dawnlight officiating, soon after Arianiie became pregnant with their first child. Nine months later, the two introduced Conner Morgan into the world, the newest member of the Morgan family. Followed soon after by Horde hostilities pulling the two away from their newborn son.
In the summer of 33 L.C. The war throughout Azeroth had caused the two much stress, their time was too divided between Connor, the war, and their personal duties to spend the time required of a new married couple. As such their relationship ended. While they had both survived the horrible war, their marriage didn't.
Giramar Morgan[]
Giramar and Travis never really got along when they were young, Travis always wanted to be a knight, but Giramar wanted more adventure, and hated all the stuffy rules that went along with knighthood. Thus the two were always at odds leaving Lana and Tiberius to constantly break them up. After the Fall of Lordearon the two had a falling out that resulted in the family splitting up, Lana went with Travis leaving Giramar to his own devices, unlike him however Travis always seemed to regret the split, and continued to keep an eye on his older brother. During the Invasion of the orcs (WoD) Giramar went missing, resulting in several days of mourning on Travis's part for his last brother.
Giramar serves as Travis's sense of adventure and urge to do more with his life.
(Post Time Skip)
During the time of peace, Giramar reached out to Travis and over time managed to mend the rift that had formed between them. Giramar now has a residency in Flames Rest, but continues to spend a majority of his time at sea and with his lover Tyrithiel, and their son Saluthial.
Tiberius Morgan[]
Travis always looked up to Tiberius, he was the strongest of the Morgan kids, and the most human...able to fit in with everyone else with ease. Deep down Travis was rather jealous of his brother, having gotten to spend years training with their father and being the first to attain the status of a Knighthood. Tiberius served as a role model for Travis growing up, always serving with a cool head, and thinking things through before acting. When he passed during the fall of Lordaeron, Travis took up his borther's name temporarily to honor him until the war against the Lich King ended. He then returned to the place they were killed and moved their previously buried remains to their home in Flames Rest.
Tiberius serves as Travis's moral compass for the days ahead.
Lana Morgan[]
Lana and Travis were twins, and from birth these two shared a special bond, even from a young age these two did everything together, she served constantly as the mediator between Giramar and Travis when they got into fights and took quickly to the art of healing. Even in her everyday life she always had a smile, and was happy about the day even while the rain kept them from playing outside. Her demeanor changed however when the Fall of Lordaeron occurred. With her older brother and parents dead, she fell into a depression. Only coming out after she met a strapping young man who served the Scarlet Crusade, offering her and her brothers a position in the fight to retake their home, Travis and Lana jumped at the chance. Giramar however had other plans and left his siblings to their revenge. Years later she participated in the Battle of Ambermill and went missing afterwards, she is currently presumed dead, but no body was found.
Lana serves as Travis's hope for the future, a feeling of hope that keeps him warm at night.
Description[]
Standing at 6'5 and at a weight of 210 lbs while out of his armor, Travis is large for the average elf, but small for the average human. A complementing mix of both is elven and human heritages is clear, though from a glance, he appears to be just a tall human. His skin tone is a normal shade of tan-ish white, set with freckled marks. His hair is a mix of brown and red.
(Hair):This hair is a mix of red and brown, though in the direct light he is clearly a soulless ginger.
(Face): This left eye is a green color, and his right is covered by a red eye-patch. a scar is located on his right cheek, and can be alluded that this was the wound that took his eye another scar is lower on his right side located on his jawbone. Otherwise it is a very soft and young face, that has no markings or blemishes other then the occasional freckle.
(Body): Muscled and toned Travis is built like a freight train, a little larger then normal elves and a little less stocky then an average human gives him the best of both worlds. His body is covered in scars and markings, the most notable are the whip marks on his back and the scarlet crusade brand on his right arm.
(Ears): His ears due to being a half elf are indeed pointed, though their length is not the same as a normal Quel'dorei. Sitting at just five inches long his ears are easily hidden by his now long hair. This helps him to avoid discrimination due to his mixed and sometimes envied blood.
Personality[]
Due to Travis's mixed blood and his history as a scarlet, he is very impulsive, quick to anger and slow to trust people, but he is a master of words and manipulation, able to turn arguments or fit in with people he just met. Emotionally Travis is pretty inexperienced when it comes to things other then fighting. Having pretty much been raised as a scarlet he has a unique form of discipline that normally involves violence. He owns up to his mistakes and hates those who use the systems. A traditionalist knight trapped in a progressive time, with no real enemy. His personality has recently changed however, seeing the joy of his men's face after taking back Flames Rest, he became dedicated with the restoration of Lordaeron wholeheartedly, even leading him to leaving his home in the Scarlet Crusade.
Many things have changed over the years, resulting in him maturing quite a lot. These key milestones have turned him from a young and brash crusader, to a fully fledged knight. Travis now uses experience and skill to win victory, choosing to fight smarter, rather then harder. He is much more patient, relaxed, and kind then his younger self. Loyal to a fault, and dedicated to the causes and people who manage to find a way into his heart, he is a champion of his virtue of justice. If you are his friend, you have never been safer, but let his enemies beware and sleep with one eye open.
Possessions[]
These are the important items on his person, not a full list of all his items.
Oathkeeper, The Flames Judgement[]
An ancient Quel'dorei blade wielded by Travis D. Morgan I the founder of House Morgan (Tirisfal Glades) and handed down to his son Marcus Morgan. Marcus had used the sword until his death on the road south of Capital City, it was taken from his body by Travis Morgan II. The blade is a ‘longsword’ able to be wielded with one, or two hands, it is extremely light due to the metal used to craft it. A full tang with a comfortable leather grip makes this blade as sturdy as they come. Truesilver adorns the handle, on the blade itself rests two lines of light infused crystals that allow the wielder to manifest holy energies from the blade. The majority of the blade itself is made with a special mix of truesilver, and titansteel, both are the highest quality on Azeroth. The blade was shattered into twenty shards by Lenore the Siren during Year 40.
Shield of the Nemesor[]
This titan steel shield was used for years by Naevius Bellorum of the Scarlet Hammer, but before the events that lead to the fall of the order, Travis acquired it and uses it in memory of the good old times.
House Morgan Signet Ring[]
Bearing the crest of the house this ring serves as a reminder of his past and as the symbol as the head of the house.
Travis's Armor[]
Travis’s Armor was made in the forges of Flames Rest, with a mix of Elven and the secret Morgan style. This makes the mostly Titansteel set of armor unmatched in the field of battle. However unlike traditional sets that would only be usable by supermen, due to their weight, Travis figured out how to lessen the burden on the user by cutting back in some key areas, that are unknown to anyone not wearing the armor. Set with truesilver and gold for decoration, this
beautiful set of armor is as easy on the eyes as it is strong. To maximize the magical capabilities, magical blue stones are set into several key parts of the armor including the helmet, this allows the user to infuse their innate mana using abilities (Any, including the light) into the armor, to either store up or to use in battle.
Sketchbook[]
A small leather-backed book normally hangs from Travis's belt, it contains all of the sketch drawings of his free time and is a rather in-depth look into what he was thinking during that point in time, he has had this book since childhood, though it never seems to run out of pages.
