Summary

Friday evening, the 11th of the 9th month of the 9th year, a huge attack was forged onto Stormwind City.

The first sign of an actual attack seemed to consist of a riot started by the remnants of the Defias Brotherhood, it seemed the ships had blown a horn which would tell these remnants to start the riot, a massive fleet could be seen in the distance and it slowly made its way to the Harbor of Stormwind..

Horde, pirates and cultists alike attacked Stormwind City from the harbour with ships and menpower. Also, they came from duskwood and Westfall going through Goldshire and attacking Stormwind City at the gates.

We were inbetween two forces. The battle seemed lost as Admiral Néc made his one .. and his final mistake. He yelled out for a "seized fire" and called the council to him. At that time only Councilor Hexis was there and she had to make a very harsh decision alone. Luckily before, there had already been decided the citizens were to evacuate to Ironforge. Admiral Nec came with a proposal as Miss Hexis accomponied by Sergeant Silverlaine met.

The proposal was the following:

"Stormwind is to surrender"
"Stormwinds council is to accept four of my own chosen men to become councilors and not one decision can be made without those four chosen councilors."
"If the Stormwind Council is to disagree with this proposal the Cathedral will be bombed!"

Miss Hexis was in a tight spot as she were to take this decision alone. Sergeant Silverlaine immediately ran of to get the last citizens to Ironforge and the priests and paladins out of the cathedral.
On returning and telling Miss Hexis of her work, Miss Hexis declined Admiral Nec's proposal and the nether broke loose. Many people died and the lucky ones nearly died. Miss Hexis retreated to Ironforge like the rest of the citizens.

In the chaos Corporal Ridgewell sneaked about in the shadows and backstabbed Nec in his back as he attempted to retreat.
The stabs held out nothing at first but thanks to that the surviving militants grouped around him and thanks to Corporal Ridgewell, Admiral Nec died and with him the attack.

The attack quickly died out as the leader of the attack had died. The horde, pirates and cultists retreated asap afterwards and Stormwind City stood still tall and proud even with the damage it took.

Some pirates got arrested and one of them became suicidal and bombed himself and the catacombs underneath the Cathedral. Some militants got stuck, though luckily thanks to a gnome named Rumo Steambolt they got out again, one of the militants having died. After saving the trapped militants everyone had to evacuate the Cathedral of Light and right now it's in risk of collapsing.

Some hordes still were attacking Goldshire in their way of retreat. But the local fighters and guards killed them and shoo'd the others away.
