User:Skreeran

From WoWWiki

Skreeran is an avid WoW fan. He is very creative, and has a background fan-lore that is so strung out and detailed that most wouldn't even be interested in hearing the whole story.

But here's a try...

About Me

Characters:

Skreeran (70 Holy Paladin, 375 Mining, 305 Enchanting)

Skreerantwo (74 Shadow Priest, 390 Herbalism, 290 Alchemy)

Skreeranone (62 Unholy Death Knight, 359 Gnomish Engineering, 141 Inscription)

Iminyourbase (Level 36 Troll Rogue, 300 Engineering, and probably Incription, this will by my primary PvP toon)

I moved to WoW from Runescape, and Skreeran1 was my character there (it said Skreeran was taken for some reason). I steadily began making lore for him, coming to an image for him that I liked (I got a pair of goggles unintentionally, and fell in love with them), but then I eventually moved to WoW. I still loved my character however (so much so that I had already made a mugshot for him in Fire Emblem 7 style, which you can see at the top on this page), so that is part of where I came up with the "world before the Titans" theme at the beginning of my lore.

I play on the Azuremyst server mostly, having started out playing a Human paladin who I did my best to model after Skreeran1, but that turned out pretty badly, so I decided this new Skreeran (the name of my pally), was a descendant of Skreeran the First (that 1 in there helped me after all :P). When thinking of a number to signify what generation of descendant Skreeran was, I liked the Eighth for some reason. Well, this led to some problems with the timeline (you can't cover 10,000 years with eight generations), so I came up with the Ancient Elf immortality feature. This also worked well with having my second character, Skreeran the Second (Skreerantwo), be legitimately alive in the current time period. All the other details (such as the five generations in-between), I hammered out over time, and so this is the current state of my fan lore.

Oh, I almost forgot, Tana149 was my brother's RS character, but I couldn't have him be Tana the One-hundred and forty-ninth, so when time came around to name his toon, we named him Tanathegreat. One slight problem, his RS character had been a grandmaster Archer (at least as far as RP goes), but he wanted to be a rogue. So I had to come up with the whole "paralysis spell" plot device.

One more thing, Iminyourbase ("Base") started as a twink, but I liked the character so much I just had to get him into my lore. He was so charismatic for a troll. Well, Iminyourbase didn't make a good legitimate name, but "Base" did alright, and that was my nickname for him anyway. So I incorporated him as an indirect part of my lore, but a fun part nonetheless.

A Word on Skreeranian Numbering

S.N. stands for Skreeranian Numbering. It is the count of years since the birth of the patriarch of the Skreeran clan, Skreeran the First, as told by his elder son. This system, along with many others, was presented by Skreeran III as a possible calendar for dating to his kindred, the people of Strom. Until then, dating was done by Human in according to the positions of stars in the sky, along with the appearance of certain comets and other astronomical phenomena, but this is never entirely accurate, and always difficult to understand, and thus the leaders of the small nation had proposed that a new system be introduced. While Skreeranian Numbering does have a few pockets of supporters, it was mostly displaced by the proposal of A.S., the Age of Strom. However, by the time the Skreeran I was reawakened, S.N. had become a popular system, due to the Skreeran clan being one of the most powerful families on Azeroth at the time. Here are some important dates in Skreeranian Numbering:

War of the Ancients: 52

Quel'thalas: 3229

Founding of Strom: 7202

Troll Wars: 7229

First War: 10,029

Second War: 10,035

Third War: 10,049

Current Year: 10,056

If anyone has a better idea on the years between these events, or they are incorrect, please e-mail me at Skreeran@hotmail.com.

(Note: Yes, I know that Azerothian history goes back way farther than the War of the Ancients, after all, the dragons were comissioned by the Titans some 64,000 years ago I believe, but being that there would be no way for Skreeran II to acurately gauge to time between the Titans arrival and his awakening, it is treated as a skip. Skreeran I was 28 years old when he was sealed away, and Skreeran II has counted 10,028 years since he awoke).

Skreeran I and the Background Lore

This article is a player character biography page The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only.

Skreeran I (Skree-rahn) lived before the Titans forged Azeroth into what it now is. He was of slender build, with long black hair (as all the firstborn of his family after him had), and an immense magical essence, largely owing to his mother being from a magically gifted tribe of barbarians. Entire civilizations existed before the titular peacekeepers arrived, including humans, elves, goblins, dwarves, gnomes, etc. (There were very few Orcs and Ogres present, because they were native to Draenor, and had to be summoned in by one of the Old Gods). The aforementioned Old God had begun to wage war on the early civilizations, and Skreeran I (a monk turned mage) went to war against him. Being a very, very powerful mage, and wielding powers of the light in addition to fire and frost, and throwing bolts of holy lightning down upon his enemies, he turned the tide of nearly all the battles he participated in to the favor of the primitive alliance. His use of light magic required him to shield his unusually sensitive eyes, and so he wore goggles to protect them from being blinded. He married an elf, named Ëina, who bore two sons, Skreeran II, who was predominantly elven, and Skortha, who was much more human-like.

In the last battle, he fought against the Old God himself, who was now taking the form of a Daemon. Taking up a light-blessed two-hand sword, he fought against the demon, while battle raged all round. Finally, as the Old God posed to strike, Skreeran I thrust his sword amidst its ribs, mortally wounding it. The god knew its avatar's fate was sealed, but it attempted to survive in a desperate last resort. It channeled its essence down the blade into Skreeran I. Skreeran I understood its plan, and he couldn't let himself be the undoing of all that he had worked for, so rather than let his mind be corrupted, he sealed his spirit into his blade, appearing dead to onlookers. He was then reverently sealed into a tomb, for his comrades didn't know that he was merely in a stasis state. Afterward, the Titans appeared from the sky, and saw the chaos and war that was being caused by the inhabitants of the world. So they selected many pure and strong individuals to be sealed away until after the remaking of the world. Among those chosen were Skreeran II and Skortha. After the Titans reforged the world, they built their crowning achievement, the Well of Eternity atop Skreeran I's tomb, which had survived.

The Return of Skreeran I

Near the start of the assault on Northrend, Skreeran VIII (who had the knowledge of the Blade of Skreeran's location as well as the knowledge that Skreeran I was not dead), Skreeran IV (who determined that the location of Skreeran I's tomb would be under the Well of Eternity, now known as the Maelstrom), Skreeran II (who actually possessed the blade), and Tana the great, traveled deep undersea to awaken Skreeran I. After they reunited his spirit with his body, it became apparent that although his mind was pure and unchanged, his body had been corrupted by the Old God's power. As a result, he could only perform a fraction of the spells he could before, and many of them had become darkened, tainted, apart from the light. His Light spells had become unholy spells, including summoning and necromancy, his frost spells inflicted more pain, and a mere thought could cause his enemies to bleed. Though distressed with his new unholy form, he accepted it as a necessary evil. If he was to keep evil at bay, he would need to use everything at his disposal. He spent much of his time traveling the world, speaking with people who had experienced the events of the world.

Eventually, he came to the conclusion that if the Scourge was to be defeated, peace with the Horde must be made. His family pledged their loyalty to him, and agreed that whatever he decided, they would do. So eventually, all living members of his family migrated to Theramore, where they stayed for a few weeks, before they made their way to the gates of Orgrimmar, an exodus thought of as an outright betrayal by many members of the Alliance. There the family threw down their weapons, and surrendered to the guards. That night, Skreeran I was brought before Thrall. As a show of goodwill, Skreeran I pledged his clan towards the Horde's needs, as long as they were not in conflict with the Alliance. Though Thrall was highly suspicious, he could feel the strength of Skreeran I's character, and decided to allow it (at the urging of Skreeran II, Skreeran IV, and Skreeran VII, who were already well known among the Horde), as long as all members of the family were given magical blocks (preventing them from wielding magic), and were kept under heavy watch. Skreeran VIII and Serian were stationed at Splintertree Post, and lived, worked, and dressed just as the Orcs there did. But, sadly, at least three of the Orcs there were loyal to the Shadow Council, and they were aware of Serian's immense magical potential, and so they kidnapped her, Skreeran VIII pursued them and killed one, but was apprehended by guards who believed that he had simply turned on them. The escaping orcs took Serian to Jaedenar in Felwood where they attempted to resummon Kil'jaeden, who had been repelled when he attempted to come through the Sunwell. However, she unintentionally began to absorb the energy, causing the distressed Shadow Council members to be forced to sever the connection. Serian inadvertently became a demon hunter, a fact that still haunts Skreeran I, who feels it was his doing.

Recently, Skreeran I became one of the few mortals to witness the hatching of a dragon egg. The baby blue dragon began following him, attracted to his magical energy. Skreeran I named it Benegos (Bene, meaning good, and -gos being the suffix for blue dragon names), but he is lovingly called Benny by most.
