House Silvershield is a militant House sworn to the Kingdom of Quel'thalas and the Regency, and the current head of the Ghostlands Reclamation effort in the Crimson Sun Conclave. They are locked in conflict with a faction of Ren'dorei by the banner of the Voidblades in the regions of the Ghostlands and Alah'thalas(Land of Light) in the Thalassian Highlands.
Note: Most of the guild's actions are internal to Wyrmrest Accord.
Campaigns[]
House Silvershield, in its brief time of its unification, has partook in multiple campaigns, both in terms of internal campaigns, and coalition campaigns.
War of Threads[]
The War of Threads saw limited deployments with the Azeroth Coalition, and was led by Areni Silvershield, the first Matriarch who led the reunified house at the time. Notable actions were on the surface, where under Warlord Ona'gora Hydrasteel, the house displayed its courage on the field of battle in both command and combat.
The Reclamation of the Black Marsh[]
The House, under the direction of then Commander Taldor Silvershield the Second, would begin to aide Countess Tyrinade Moonsong in reclaiming the Rose Hallow island chain. With a combination of amphibious and jungle assaults, the House was able to defeat the resident Forsaken renegades and secure the Island.
The Goldenmist Offensive[]
As part of the Crimson Sun Conclave's Reclamation Efforts, the House would join the Blood Knights under Captain Cierryn Dawnreaver, House Ravendance under Lady Renya Ravendance, and the United Rose under Commander Joraci Narsicha, in both clearing out the ridge above Goldenmist Village, the surrounding areas, and then into Goldenmist proper, clearing out the enemy defenders from the village.
Scourge Counter-attack[]
The Undead Scourge of the area began weeks long preparations for the attempted counter-offensive against the forces stationed at Goldenmist. However, after careful intel gathering, and a call to arms given by House Silvershield, the necessary forces were assembled to defend the gains.
Between Wraiths, Abominations, lesser Death Knights, and Meat Wagons, the Scourge did keep pressure up and forced the defenders back from their initial positions. But after rallying under the Silvermoon Banner and Commander Taldor's leadership, the attack was soon rebuffed. Casualties were severe however, and it left most of the forces more or less unable to capitalize on the hard-pressed victory.
The Voidmoon Crisis[]
As the war with the Scourge in the Ghostlands was underway, Knight-Commander Vandonna and Oracle Rana Voidmoon moved to an abandoned estate, being sent by the General to investigate a potential lead as to why the Scourge was doing so well in holding territory.
During this conflict, the pair was ambushed and Vandonna had to make a choice: Fight to escape the group, or sacrifice herself to guarantee Rana's survival. She took the second option and bought more than enough time for Rana to be recovered before the Knight-Commander's defenses failed and she was captured.
Raid on Windrunner Village[]
As the House was reeling from the blow, General Silvershield gave the order to continue the offensive to reclaim the coastal villages of the Ghostlands, intending to keep the momentum going. The defenses were surprisingly light, likely due to pilgrimages on reliving the Scourge Invasion of the Third War, which allowed the forces to take much of the village.[]
However, as they approached the final building, a shocking discovery was made: Ren'dorei were present and aiding the Undead Scourge. For what reason remained to be undetermined, though through investigations post combat indicated that there was a Voidblade influence with the Ren'dorei present.
Invasion of the Xerramas[]
Having discovered the location of the Necropolis that held their friends and comrades, House Silvershield, along with the elements of the Blood Knights, Farstriders, and even elements of the Army of the Light, launched a raid into the Necropolis known as Xerramas. Fighting through several wings, the combined forces were able to stumble upon their Knight-Commander Voidmoon, under the control of a domination rune system. Upon defeat, the Knight-Commander was killed in action, and the body sent to be prepared. Heavy casualties were reported, as well as mercy killings of recently raised prisoners.
The Thalassian Highlands[]
Note: This campaign is still on going, and as such, information will be filled in as needed.
After licking their wounds, the Silvershields formed the Silvershield Offensive, and began making preparations to liberate the abandoned Port of Alah'thalas, as well as the surrounding Highlands. Through intelligence operations, it was determined the Voidblades had made it their base of operations in the region, which resulted in the massing of a fairly large fleet.
Further info will be added.
Internal Organizations[]
House Silvershield, due to the nature of its operations, has divided itself into subgroups to help with identification.
Military Organizations[]
The Silvershield Offensive[]
The Silvershield Offensive is the primary organization that handles operations in the Thalassian Highlands around Alah'thalas. With the most funding and supplies, the Offensive holds the Spellbreaker Corps, which is the best weapon in the House's arsenal against Void beings.
Honor Guard[]
The Honor Guard is charged with the protection of the leadership of the House, be it the General herself, or the Council itself. They often hold positions in the Offensive as well, considering the General is often partaking in operations in the Thalassian Highlands.
The House Guard[]
The House Guard is the standing military of the House, and as such, can have any post determined important for the House.
Non-Military Organizations[]
The Inquisitorious[]
The Inquisitorious is a group of beings who do what is necessary to gather intelligence and silence threats before they make themselves known. While small in number, they are more than capable of massive shifts in changes.
The Magistrum[]
The Magistrum handles anything and everything related to magic publicly. From mere wards to entire sanctums, the Magistrum ensures the various locations of the House's control is maintained magically.
