Forward

As I pen this missive, with shaky hand, I can hear the Pallyocracy breaching the last bastion of sanity in this world. My forces stood against him, for as long as they could, but like the sea he was an unstoppable force. Outside on these forgotten battlements the Priestatorship crumbles beneath his iron boot. The screams echo these empty halls, once renown for their beauty and calming aura. For thirty years he bid his time, his plans laid carefully before him, and him alone, no one knew the extent of his madness or what drove him, but I pieced it together, I found the clues, I saw the signs of his arrival. And I was powerless to stop him. So I implore you, my reader, take these words to heart and steal your soul for your time to strike. I could not find his weakness but maybe when you read his tale you will find the courage to oppose him. To stand tall and proud and look death in the eye and defy it. Take these words and shield yourself, hold to the light, and never, never look a paladin in the eye.

Rise To Power

Skoalbandit is currently a paladin in the alliance guild, Good Game. However, much like the Lich King himself, Skoal started out a noble paladin but transformed into a power without remorse. He is currently the leader of the self proclaimed Pallyocracy. In 2004 before he became a force to be reckkoned with he started out a lowly paladin, completing innocent goals, and striving to embrace the light. From Elwynn Forest to Silerpine he traveled lending his strength and purity whenever and wherever it was needed. But tragedy struck, when he had discovered the treachery within Stormwind Keep. Onyxia, the black dragon, standing next to Bolvar Fordragon had been pulling all the strings without anyone the wiser. Devastated by his own foolishness at trying to fix the problems within Stormwind, West Fall, Red Ridge, and Duskwood he had now discovered that all his hardships were because of his blind faith toward leadership. He met in secret with the vile Van Cleef leader of the Defias Brotherhood in an attempt to kidnap and hold King Varian Wrynn hostage, to strike unrest in the surrounding areas of the alliance stronghold, and he succeeded, for a time, but hero's rose up to thwart his plans, and he knew then that he needed a force of his own an army of unstoppable warriors. He vowed then to become this force and to rule with an iron will that would shake the very foundations of Azeroth.

And thus he gave birth to the Pallyocracy.

To Claim A Life

Upon his ascent to power he was recruited by a fledgling force of fighters known as Vitalis. These brave warriors were short on the man power they needed to break into the molten core and take the fight against the elemental fire lord, Ragnaros. For set back after set back held them down with despair. Skoal, now a battle hardened veteran, discovered that joining these fighters would further his own goals for power giving him a basis of an army to draw on when needed. Playing the role of an innocent paladin, he signed up with them. Once part of this mercenary force he quickly began his machinations. Spreading lies, and convincing others that they were being betrayed by their elected leaders. Soon, strife erupted within the force and in-fighting began.

After several pitched battles against one another, and the death of two thirds of the band, Skoal made his move. Still staying in the shadows he knew all too well, he manipulated and pulled the strings of a night elf rogue, by name, Sicarius, and had him take the mantle of Guild Leader. This title was new to the mercenary band, and it granted the leader more control over the members then they had before, all in claim that it was in the benefit of the whole. Re-cementing the guild took effort and money, but as new recruits were now being integrated by a puppet of the Pallyocracy it became worth it. Together, this new force, this guild, stormed brazenly through the hallowed hall of Blackwing Lair, slaying the forces gathered their and taking artifacts of great power to bolster his growing army.

This guild, now fully controlled by the Pallyocracy, acted as a war machine, smashing the ancient ruins of Anh'Qiraj, and finally testing the for the first time Arthas' own forces in the dread citadel Naxxramas. Defeat, a new companion to Skoal, shot through his ranks and in despair he cried out "Today I Am Become Skoal, The Destroyer of Guilds." Those that had remained outside the citadel never knew what took place, but it was genocide, and it was horror. In his blind rage he slaughter those that had survived the encounter with Scourge Lord, and swore vengeance against him. He returned to the plague lands changed, and reforged the broken and shattered remnants of Vitalis as Good Game.

Death to the Horde, and Death to the Living

Skoal, was not pleased with his failure to destroy the Lich King, but he knew that before he made another move against him he need to test his new warriors, and make them a force to strike back at the Scourge. Having already defeated an old god, and several black dragons, Skoals form of leadership, namely the guild, began to take a rise in popularity among all the races of Azeroth. Disheartened at the prospect of these new guilds challenging his rule, he started a movement which at first was to strike at strategic locations that the horde were interested in, trying to draw out their mercenaries, and hopefully guilds that had devolved and then to kill them and stop their growth.

For three years he waged war against the horde. Linking with several other alliance guilds he shattered the horde in the lumber rich Warsong Gulch, but even so Skoal still had the need to put his plans into action. During the third month of a campaign he sacrificed four hundred alliance soldiers in various guilds by sending them into ambush, deep with horde controlled territory, by supplying them with faulty information and manufactured scouting reports. He still needed to win, and lead tactical strikes against horde supply lines, and was soon called The Strategist. After he had finally won the battle for Warsong, he was drafted by the alliance military force to defend the Arathi Basin, a resource rich area crawling with horde. Although, he won it was at great cost, mainly to the alliance, as he siphoned the resources to his own army. Horses, gold, lumber, armor, and food stockpiled in his chests, and at his keep. Once he became rich, he hired wandering mercenaries to join his army, and once again the alliance depended on his forces to tip their latest battle.

Deep within the Alterac mountains a horde army marched, hastily the alliance constructed the defenses but did not have the man power to hold them. Skoal, knew that he could not waste his resources on a pitched battle in the field of strife, and led an elite squadron of men by the outskirts of the area, and sneaked into the horde controlled fortress, all the while countless alliance forces were being slaughtered by relentless horde warriors. Having four of his champions hold the outside gate against entry he strode into Frostwolf Keep, to kill Drek'Thar. While he succeeded in his task the alliance forces were routed and took massive losses upwards of four thousand. The horde however, were left without a leader and their advance stopped.

Things had quieted down after the events at Alterac and Skoal was content to watch his fortunes and armies grow. Soon he hoped, that he could take his revenge against Arthas. When he was finally ready to set sail however, a call went out. One that stopped him dead in his tracks.

The Dark Portal had been opened.

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

And so it came to pass that the Pallyocracy walked onto the dying planet, Outlands. It was there with sweat dripping from his brow that Skoalbandit met the Lord of Outlands as he came to great him. Offering power, and a seat on the Illidari Council, Illidan asked Skoal for aid in turning back the alliance and destroying Shattrath, containing the lights own champion A’dal. However, Skoal knowing Illidans past knew that he must test his mettle against this fearsome Demon Hunter if he were to prove to himself that he was ready to face the Lich King. So he spat on the dusty ground of Hellfire Peninsula, rejecting Illidan’s offer.

In the end Skoalbandit's insanity drove him to Northrend alone. In his stead he left Lowthor. We did not hear from him again, not until we received his note...

Skoalbandit hungers...

It's begun.

''Young priests...I was once like you. You have come to this place seeking to bring judgment upon the Pallyocracy. You will venture deep into ancient lands. You will see dead guilds beyond imagining. But be warned. The sever itself will rise up against you. Long forgotten guilds will smother your courage. Sacrifice everything as the final darkness falls...in the end, all that awaits you is death. Only then will you understand - you've been following in my footsteps all along.''

''So come then, you priests! Come in all your power and glory! For in the final hour, all must serve the one... true... Bandit. ''

The Wrath Gate
Recorded from Skoalbandits log

Highlord Reckkon walks amoung his guild

Jivanmukta: Highlord Reckkon

Lowthor: Thank the Light

Dardalios: For Lothar

Absynthae: For Good Game

Reckkon roars as his men charge into the Pallyocracy

Highlord Reckkon: Back, you mindless wretches

The gates open and Pallyocracy Vrykul, charge out

Highlord Reckkon: Fight on, Game Faces

As the battle continues,High Warlord Skroesec, observes the conflict and raises his axe to rally Tyranny

Skroesec: Rise up, sons of the Horde! Blood and glory await us!

Back at the battle, Reckkon glances up at the sound of an orcish horn

High Warlord Skroesec: Lok'tar ogar! For the horde!

Tyranny army For the HORDE!

Reckkon and Skroesec fight side-by-side.

Highlord Reckkon: I was wondering if you'd show up!

Warlord Skroesec: I couldn't let Good Game have ALL the fun today!

''Skroesec swings his axe, killing three Pallyocracy driven vrykul in one slash. After the battle ends, Reckkon and Skroesec approach the gate. Skroesec glances at Reckkon, apparently giving him leave to speak''

Highlord Reckkon: SKOALBANDIT! The blood of your guilds, of sever, demands justice! Come forth, coward, and answer for your crimes!

The gate rumbles open again as Skroesec growls, revealing the Killer of Guild, Finkles Lavadredger in hand.

SkoalBandit The Destroyer of Gulds: You speak of Justice? of cowardice? I will show you the justice of the pallyocracy and the true meaning of fear.

As Skoalbandit approaches, Pallyworkers of America rise beind him

High Warlord Skroesec: Enough Talk, let it be finished

''Skroesec charges, roaring. Skoalbandit swings his Lavadredger, shattering Skroesec's axe and killing the orc instantly. Reckkon and the Horde army can only watch in horror as his body falls.''

Highlord Reckkon: You will pay, for all the lives you've stolen, traitor.

Skoalbandit the Destroyer of Guilds: Boldly stated. But I remain unconvinced--

''An explosion and a green cloud of, accompanied by screams of pain behind Reckkon interrupts the confrontation.''

Skoalbandit: What?

Laughter emanates from the heights above the wrathgate as Justicar Lumyia approaches

Justicar Lumiya: Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had Forgiven?

As he speaks, the catapults full of Natty Ice come foward

Lumiya: Behold, now, the Terrible Vengence of the Brogues

Skoalbandit: Styron...

Lumiya: DEATH TO SKOAL, AND DEATH TO THE PALADINS

Highlord Reckkon: FALL BACK!

Skoalbandit: This...isn't...over...

Lumiya: Now all can see, this is the hour of the Brogues.

Lumyia leaves, on the field below Reckkon falls to the ground.

Highlord Reckkon: We're finished. No escape.. for any of us....

''Reckkon glances towards Wyrmrest Temple and sees the Priestatorship approaching. Finally, he succumbs to the Natty Ice and dies just as the priests arrive. The priests holy nova Lumyia's catapults before resserecting Reckkon.''

The king is Dead. Long Live the King!

 * Fall of the Guild Killer

Spirit of Shadimar Ominous: Can you feel it, paladin, closing in all around you? The Light's justice has been awakened. The sins of the past have finally caught up to you. You will be called to account for all the atrocities you've committed, the unspeakable guilds you’ve killed, and the dark, ancient severs you've enslaved. Though my guild was one of the first to be devoured by your evil, there are thousands more bound within this mace, and they cry out for release. Look now to your defenses, paladin, for the champions of Good Game gather at your gates!

Skoalbandit: Let them come. Finkels Lavadredger hungers.


 * In Iron Boot Citadel

Fun Governor Lowthor says: Our march upon Iron Boot Citadel begins now!

Skoalbandit says: You now stand upon the hallowed ground of the Pallyocracy. The Light won't protect you here, paladin. Nothing will protect you...

Fun Governor Lowthor says: SKOALBANDIT! I swore that I would see you dead and the Pallyocracy dismantled! I'm going to finish what I started.

Skoalbandit says: You could've been my greatest champion, Lowthor. A force of the Pallyocracy that would wash over this world and deliver it into a new age of oppression.

Skoalbandit says: But that honor is no longer yours. Soon, I will have a new champion.

Skoalbandit says: The breaking of this one has been taxing. The atrocities that I have committed upon his soul. He has resisted for so long, but he will bow down before his king soon.

Oldman Repent says: NEVER! I... I will never... serve... you.

Skoalbandit says: In the end you will all serve me.

Good Game marches throughout Skoalbandit’s fortress.

Skoalbandit yells: So...the Light's vaunted justice has finally arrived. Shall I lay down Finkels Lavadredger and throw myself at your mercy, Lowthor?

Fun Governor Lowthor yells: We will grant you a swift death, Skoalbandit. More than can be said for the thousands of guilds you tortured and slaughtered.

Skoalbandit yells: You will learn of that first hand. When my work is complete, you will beg for mercy -- and I will deny you. Your anguished guild will be testament to my unbridled power.

Fun Governor Lowthor yells: So be it. Champions, attack!

The Guild Killer freezes Fun Governor Lowthor in a block of ice. Skoalbandit yells: I'll keep you alive to witness the end, Lowthor. I would not want the Light's greatest champion to miss seeing this wretched world remade in my image.

Good Game charges into Skoalbandit.

Skoalbandit says: Come then champions, feed me your rage! I will kill you from within until all that remains is an dry husk! Watch as the world around you collapses! Pallyocracy, your master calls. Finkels Lavadredger hungers... Argh... Finkels Lavadredger, obey me!You gnats actually hurt me! Perhaps I've toyed with you long enough, now taste the vengeance of the Pallyocracy! Hope wanes! The end has come!

Guild Killer casts Fury of Finkels Lavadredger, killing all players at once.

Skoalbandit yells: No question remains unanswered. No doubts linger. You are Good Games greatest champions! You overcame every challenge I laid before you. My mightiest guilds have fallen before your relentless onslaught, your unbridled fury... Is it truly righteousness that drives you? I wonder.

Skoalbandit yells: You trained them well, Lowthor. You delivered the greatest fighting force this world has ever known...right into my hands - exactly as I intended. You shall be rewarded for your unwitting sacrifice.

The Guild Killer begins to cast a resurrection spell.

Skoalbandit yells: Watch now as I raise them from the dead to become masters of the Pallyocracy. They will shroud this world in chaos and destruction. This severs fall will come at their hands -- and you will be the first to die.

Skoalbandit laughs.

Skoalbandit yells: I delight in the irony.

Fun Governor Lowthor yells: LIGHT, GRANT ME ONE FINAL BLESSING. GIVE ME THE STRENGTH...TO SHATTER THESE BONDS!

Light smites the ice block, freeing Lowthor.

Lowthor jumps and strikes Finkels Lavadredger with the Val’anyr, shattering it.

Skoalbandit yells: Impossible...

Fun Governor Lowthor yells: No more, Skoalbandit! No more guilds will be consumed by your hatred!

The guilds trapped inside Finkels Lavadredger escape and swirl around the Guild Killer, lifting him in the air.

The ghost of Shadimar Ominous II appears.

''Shadimar Ominous II yells: Free at last! It is over, paladin. This is the moment of reckoning.''

Shadimar‘s ghost begins to cast a resurrection spell.

Shadimar Ominous II yells: Rise up, champions of Good Game!

Shadimar resurrects all players.

The raid moves in to finish the Guild Killer.

Skoalbandit yells: Now I stand, the lion before the lambs... and they do not fear. Skoalbandit yells: They cannot fear.

''The swirling maelstrom of guilds stops and Skoalbandit falls to the ground, losing the Helm of Oppression. Skoalbandit tries to reach for it but loses what little strength he has and collapses.''

''Skoalbandit lies supine, the shattered remnants of Finkels Lavadredger beside him. He starts as the ghost of Shadimar Ominous materializes over him, and the characteristic blue glow dissipates from his eyes. As Shadimar kneels next to him, Skoalbandit places a hand on his old friend’s chest.''

Skoalbandit the Destroyer of Guilds: Shadimar! Is it... over?

Shadimar lays a comforting hand on Skoalbandit' gauntlet. Shadimar Ominous II: At long last. No king rules forever, paladin.

Skoalbandit the Destroyer of Guilds: I see... only darkness... before... me...

Skoalbandit' eyes roll back into his head and he dies, his hand falling to the ground.

Shadimar closes his friend's eyes and gently lays him on the ground as Lowthor walks in. Shadimar Ominous II: Without its master's command, the restless Pallyocracy will become an even greater threat to this world. Shadimar stands, facing Lowthor.

Shadimar Ominous II: Control must be maintained. There must always be a Guild Killer. ''Shadimar ghost and the swirling guilds disappear and Lowthor shields his eyes from the blinding light. With the freed guilds of Finkels Lavadredger gone, Lowthor picks up the Helm of Oppression and examines it.''

Lowthor: The weight of such a burden... it must be mine. For there is no other--

Oldman Repent: Lowthor! You hold a grim destiny in your hands, brother - but it is not your own.

The scorched caricature of Repent is revealed, sitting atop the Frozen Throne.

Lowthor: Repent! By all that is holy...

Oldman Repent: The dragons' flame sealed my fate. The world of the living can no longer comfort me. Place the crown upon my head, Lowthor. Forevermore, I will be the Jailer of the Pallyocracy.

Lowthor: No, old friend. I cannot.

Oldman Repent: Do it, Lowthor! You and these brave heroes have your own destinies to fulfill. This last act of service... is mine.

Fun Governor Lowthor: You will not be forgotten, brother.

Oldman Repent: I must be forgotten, Lowthor! If the world is to live free from the tyranny of fear, they must never know what was done here today.

''Lowthor nods and accedes to Repent’s request, sliding the helm onto his head. The chamber begins to shake violently. There is a flash of light and Repent’s eyes are glowing golden yellow through the eye slits of the helm.'' Repent: Tell them only that the Guild Killer is dead.

Repent’s voice changes, acquiring the Skoalbandit’s characteristic echo.

Repent/Guild Killer: And that Repent died with him.

The Uncomfortable Chair freezes over, encasing Repent in ice.

Repent/Guild Killer: Now, go. Leave this place, and never return.

...Unknown to them Skoalbandit slowly sinks into the earth to heal and bid his time…
