You may roll the dice Tharassian. I don't mind the result and waiting any longer is not needed in my opinion.

In Azeroth? Sigh. Well, I'll give it a chance. At least it's not amalur.

Joan honestly only works in azeroth and her going Pally could be really interesting. though i 2nd your thoughts on Amular I just can't see the feelings that that game gave me being replicated by anyone less than a truly superb author.

Darn I was too late XD, well Joan of Arc in Azeroth means we can give the humans a really awesome paladin.....What if we join the Scarlet Crusade to reclaim Lorderon in the name of humans XD? Could be a really cool character path.

Haha we can curb their xenophobia a bit ideally. After all its more the living vs the dead than it is the humans vs the dead XD. No Horde races would probably still be a solid rule though.

ya especially with the fk up with the blood elves on Garithos's part. However I figure we can get dwarves, gnomes, Worgen, high elves, Draenei and maybe night elves into the fray.
I also hope to purge the corruption and dread lord from their ranks. Like we would need to either fix or just kill mograine.

Fair, the scarlet crusade once fixed is a rather excellent asset against the scourge as well as the undead. And the burning legion, if we discover that they are responsible for the undead, would probably end up on our hit list. cx
The increase in potential recruits would really help us out too. Considering how wary humans are currently of the Scarlet crusade when their a thing. I wonder what time point we will start at though cx.

One thing: Azeroth as it will be in this Quest is somewhat different from canon.
Hope y'all don't mind. Much.

I would prefer it so long as its not too sweeping and massive that it doesn't resemble Azeroth... Like if you have the orcs and humans as close allies and Jaina as the lich queen with Arthas as the leader of the entirety of humanity and married to Gorgonna (leader of conquest hold in WoW) while being best friends with Garrosh who is married to Sally Whitemane or something like that.One thing: Azeroth as it will be in this Quest is somewhat different from canon.

Nothing so... Nuts. That's a crack-fic of Warcraft there. No.
Just some slight political changes, expansion on races and cultures... Maybe some things added in...

I think we are using historical version notfate versions

.... I appear to have given you the wrong impression. These are not Nasuverse characters. Mordred is not a girl. Gilgamesh is not a blond bishonen. Jeanne isn't... I dunno.
Voting chose Jeanne the Saint, so you got the Shiny Good one with supernatural stuff, rather than the Patriot, who's basically as close to historical as I could get (Lawful Pragmatic?). But it's more like strangely good luck and paladin power rather than anything Nasu would throw at you.

Is it possible for her to Learn Light or Magic or runes?

Depends on how y'all choose to play her. Realistically, you could find ways to learn any of them. But some will be easier to access than others.
Chapter 1.1: When the Comet Fell

25 ADP
A comet streaked through the cosmos, a beacon shining brighter than even the myriad stars in the night sky.
On Outland, Coilfang astrologers wrote feverishly, recording every sign and portent, knowing that such an obvious omen would likely not appear again for some time. Hours were spent in debate on which interpretation was true. For days after, Lady Vashj was pestered constantly by some young siren bringing the newest version of the prophecy, only a few bare details different from the last. Eventually, she simply browbeat Kael'thas into contributing, forcing him to browbeat his own astrologers in turn. However, only half of them spoke fluent Nazja, and half of those could read it. When they finally delivered their woefully contradictory and circuitous conclusions, all they could agree on - with an undeserved and inordinate sense of accomplishment - was that it was, indeed, important.
On Azeroth, the night sky did not see the comet, for it fell during the day. Mages in Silvermoon and Dalaran alike attempted to understand its origin, and, after a sudden realization, where it would land.
A murloc saw it pass above as he practiced rituals for the Mistress. His eyes watched, unblinking, as the light fell across the sky. Eventually, he went back into the tunnels. The Mistress would have been displeased if she was not informed immediately, for they alone had any definite idea of what was coming, and had to prepare.
In the North, two presences stirred, one above and one below. Both watched the comet. One saw a foe; the other, opportunity.

You could feel the flames, climbing from foot to leg, leg to torso, burning away your voice as they grew hotter. There were no screams save your own, impotently silent as the fires rose. There was no rescue by the King or his army. No heavenly host. Not even a single light from above to mark your passing.
And then the fire was gone, and it was replaced by a comforting warmth, and a gentle light that tried to leak through your eyelids. You thought that you could hear a whispering at the edge of your consciousness, trying to pierce the warm cocoon around you.
The wind blew through your hair, and you felt that you could not move due to some strange constraint. Deciding to take the chance, you opened your eyes, and saw the sky falling away from you as you moved faster than should have been possible.
For a moment, you could see the ocean out of the corner of your eye. The sun shining down from a cloudless sky.
Then, you heard a whistling, and a crash, and saw a flash of light.
And you were asleep again.

Then, you heard a whistling, and a crash, and saw a flash of light.
And you were asleep again.
When you awoke, you could hear the sea behind you. Everything else was drowned out by a strong wind. The expanse of blue you had seen before was now grey with an incoming storm. As you came back to your full senses, you realized that every inch of you was sore. You had clothes again, rather than the rags the English had given you.
And someone had started screaming.
Pushing yourself, you got back to your feet, offering a small prayer of thanks before deciding what to do.
Choose One Landing:
[] Looking around, you found yourself on the shore of a tropical sea. You had never been to Provence, but you were fairly sure that this resembled something like it. Strange trees with wide leaves formed a vast wall of foliage, and the sea was a shade of blue so rich that it resembled dyed silk. In the distance, ships circled each other, and the ruins of some ancient civilization lay down the strand the opposite way.
[] Looking around, you saw a grey shore that rose into a dead forest. The trees seemed to rot even as they grew, and the earth was black with blight rather than mulch. You could hear the sounds of battle in the woods, but here were bodies all along the shore.
Choose up to Two:
[] Search the beach
[] Search the debris
[] Approach the Battle
[] Pray

First Update!
If anyone thinks there's a better title, say so.
Also, if anyone wants to contribute to a minor decision, there is one to be made.
