day 2 - favourite character of favourite race

Couldn't choose one:
Fandral Staghelm, later Majordomo Staghelm, was the former Archdruid of Darnassus, succeeding Malfurion Stormrage after he was lost in the Emerald Nightmare. Fandral played a key role in the War of the Shifting Sands, but lost his only child. His planting of Andrassil unintentionally induced the later appearance of the Emerald Nightmare. He was one of the architects of the plan to create Teldrassil, and believed that the future of the night elves demanded more expansionism and military planning. His radical beliefs and aggressive demeanor often led him to quarrel openly with the High Priestess, Tyrande Whisperwind. After it was revealed that he had been corrupted by the Nightmare Lord and had prolonged Malfurion's absence, Fandral eventually descended into madness and was imprisoned by the Cenarion Circle. He was later captured by the Twilight's Hammer cult on route to Moonglade from Mount Hyjal and turned into the first Druid of the Flame, becoming the new Majordomo of the Firelands, until he was killed during the final battle against Ragnaros the Firelord. Malfurion Stormrage was the first mortal druid on Azeroth, and the night elf who initiated the mainstream use of druidism among the kaldorei people ten millennia ago under tutelage of the demigod Cenarius. He is the twin brother of Illidan Stormrage, as well as the loving and beloved husband of the high priestess of Elune, Tyrande Whisperwind. Together, the two have represented the highest leadership of the night elves ever since the fall of Queen Azshara and her Highborne caste. Through Malfurion's guidance, the night elves successfully halted the Burning Legion's first invasion of Azeroth during the legendary War of the Ancients. In its aftermath, he became the greatest of the world's archdruids. Illidan Stormrage, commonly known as the Betrayer, is the first of the demon hunters, the former self-proclaimed Lord of Outland, the former ruler of the Black Temple, and the original leader of the Illidari. He is the twin brother of Malfurion Stormrage and was, like his sibling, in love with Tyrande Whisperwind. Originally a powerful night elf sorcerer, Illidan officially betrayed his people by defecting to the demonic Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients, though his reasons for doing so were noble as he secretly aimed to repel the Legion's invasion.[13] He eventually returned to the side of his fellow night elves, but his creation of a second Well of Eternity at the end of the war caused his people to name him "Betrayer" and imprison him in the Barrow Deeps below Mount Hyjal. There he remained for over 10,000 years, watched over by the warden Maiev Shadowsong and her Watchers.

Magic the Gathering rules: a centralized, continually updated document built on a framework established by a math PhD 30 years ago that can be used to resolve literally any situation that could possibly arise, no matter how complex. "reading the card explains the card". literally Turing complete.
Yu-Gi-Oh! rules: a slapdash mess of individual card rulings and functional errata held together by spit, prayers, and bans. Konami didn't invent the concept of "reading the card explains the card" until 2011 with Problem-Solving Card Text and even then it's not 100% consistent. it's frankly a miracle that the game functions at all without exploding and injuring bystanders.
Hearthstone rules: there was a one-week period where having Fandral Staghelm on the board would allow you to cast Dark Wispers targeting yourself instead of a creature, which in addition to summoning 5 1/1 Wisps would also give your hero +5 max health, +5 attack (permanently, even on your opponent's turn, so you damaged any minions that hit your face), and Taunt (so enemy minions were forced to hit your face before hitting any of your minions, effectively making them untargetable). people argued over whether or not this was a glitch until Blizzard quietly patched it out

Al's true mental state
Fun fact about Alessandre! He is high functioning insane!
Tumblr media
I know, I know, how does this make him different from other low-key really insane OCs out there? Perhaps even your own??
Well. Without re-hashing all of my fanfiction stories about him, I can tell you that Alessandre was driven to madness back during the War of the Shifting Sands. After he disobeyed the Archdruid (omg was it Fandral Staghelm?? It probably was!), Al, a talented balance druid and academic, was stripped of his abilities and supposedly his mana pool in an antiquated, excruciating ritual that was banned millenia later.
Too late for Al, however.
Tumblr media
Un-making a druid is a horrifying punishment. But Al had compromised the safety of the Kaldorei base in Silithus by pursuing his girlfriend, lost to the Twilight Hammer cult. Sadly, it was too late for her. She was fully under the sway of the old gods she worshipped and even tried to slaughter Al as he attempted to rescue her.
This, and the devastating ritual, left Al without a moon in his sky. The druidic center around which he formed his whole spiritual identity was destroyed.
Well, decades later, Al found out he could still shift into a nightsaber. But by then, his mind had been shattered. He lived wild, angry. Stalking other men like prey and attacking them for what he needed. The thrill of it sated something deep inside of this Night Elf man who could live almost completely in the shadows.
Eventually, Al honed his skill at living by his wits into something more sophisticated. He trained up fully as a rogue and changed his name many times, eventually settling on one taken from his best kill. A defias monster by the same name.
Tumblr media
Al's new name, was also a savage and twisted sort of game to play, both ripping away a murderer's life and then wearing the name as a trophy--it was also a way to taunt any villain who had wanted to avenge their departed vile friend into a bloody confrontation.
Eventually, many cruel bandits were felled by Al and they also stopped trying to come after him. Al played to win, or fail with his life. His greatest test, to prove he was a man, even a good man again.
Al's true personality from millenia ago was fractured and deeply submerged. What remains today is some extension of the cocky, rebel youth who didn't care about what some Archdruid said. He was going to handle things his own way, for his own reasons.
Today, he is going to be lethal and accurate enough to get it done right the first time. And this round, under this name? Al has absolutely no intention of getting caught.

Broken Hand of Earth - Story and Poetry Night Performance
Part Two
Tumblr media
Reappearing in a determined step, the flames spark where the Majordomo steps with purpose. His wicked smile, showing a man descended into true madness is all that remains. A building ball of flame is conjured in his hand and from it emerges the firehawk. Maniacal laughter echoed over the crowd, as he makes a taunting gesture ready to fight all those that oppose him! "I see you come before your doom once more. Guardians of Hyjal, and Azeroth to settle your score."
Tumblr media
The image of Fandral would beat a fist over his chest and snarl with rage and hatred. "Well, heroes.....What is your answer....? Very well. BEHOLD THE RAGE OF THE FIRELANDS!" The fire burns brighter and the scene unfolds before the audience viewing that of the Majordomo's perspective. The explosions, the fire, the rain of molten rock, and breaking earth! Only to have Fandral finally fall after suffering blow after blow of spell and weapon.
Tumblr media
"With the might of Champions of this world, the end of the Staghelm dynasty would come not only for him. But an end would come for his Master as well. No one could know in those last moments of Fandral had gone to...but he did speak that his studies had only begun…”
Tumblr media
The reminiscence of soul lingers still holding onto a branch of Nordrassil rises from the body of the fire-infused husk and turns around to focus on what his original mission would be. All in helping a World Tree take root in efforts to stop death from taking his people and himself. Looking over the beginnings of this with pride, he walks proudly into the beyond where he feels his family waits for him patiently.
Tumblr media
"Many believe, that the man known as Fandral Staghelm, died the day his son was lost in the War of the Shifting Sands. That the world was left with that fragment or shard of what was left, vulnerable by the pain that loss had left him with. While he was a man that carried much determination and passion, he refused to acknowledge the realities that were at Azeroth's foundations and took actions that would lead down a path of destruction. He was correct about everything being born anew. This world and its people become more in every threat it faces. And so can we all. Learning from our history, so we are not destined to repeat it."
Tumblr media
Talthorn would stand proud before everyone in attendance and then after a flair of his hand? He extends a flourish of a bow as the illusion would begin to melt away signaling his end. "Thank you, everyone! You have been once again, a brilliant audience." he would rise up and grin, slowly sauntering off letting the story continue to linger to all those that gave their wonderful attention.
Tumblr media
(( Thank you everyone who was able to attend this very special show! Also to everyone that had requested I put this up to be read by all of your beautiful story appreciators and enthusiasts! Talthorn lives to tell his stories, and as his player I adore writing for him so entirely. My thanks for @howlingowl-wra for hosting such events and again for @konietzko-lumenstone for these pictures that make me so happy to share. I look forward to the next one! ))

Fandral: “Tyrande has no idea how to lead our people.”
Honestly, with that said, I wonder what he’d say now if he could see Tyrande and the night elves today - or, rather, the lack thereof, and the culmination of those who’ve banded together to form the Army of the Black Moon.
Let’s pretend for a moment he got his teeth kicked in at the Firelands but didn’t die and instead got hauled back in chains to be punished by court of law for committing crimes against elf-anity Azeroth but also trying to alleviate the mental problems he has with reconciling with his son’s death and having to relive that moment during the War against the Nightmare. Or, if you want, you can set this thought experiment right after his mind-break pre-Firelands. What would he have done?
I think, given how nationalistic he was to his people and preferred isolation over cooperation with the other races of the Alliance, the events following the War of Thorns and the Burning of Teldrassil would have been the one time he’d throw in his lot with Tyrande - not because Elune would ask of him to dispense justice, but because it’s about time Tyrande wised up about the Horde.
...Not that that lasts for very long, because while Tyrande acknowledges war will always be in the Horde’s blood (no matter how much Saurfang and the others say otherwise), it’s Sylvanas and Nathanos that are to blame for the night elves’ decline and must be kill. Whereas I’d see Fandral putting his foot down, say a big fat NO, and insist that now would be a good time for the night elves to secede from the Alliance and make all the Horde pay. Why cut off the head of the snake (although said head has Blasted Off Again, but again, let’s pretend the head regrew) when you can stomp it out completely?
At which point, if Tyrande keeps tunnel-visioning on just Sylvanas and Nathanos, then I could imagine Fandral digging his heels in and play tug o’ war with her over which direction they should take the kaldorei in (and that’s probably not a good idea given their numbers now, but when you take into account how inconsistent the lore is with population numbers it wouldn’t be too big of a stink unless Blizzard were to really double down on the “night elves are in the same spot the high elves and blood elves are still at from the time of the Fall of Quel’Thalas” rhetoric).
