And here's where the story of this campaign starts...

Story:

Far from any land mass, on Azeroth lies an island where a great phoenix egg waits the bird inside to reborn and free. Firstly found by the High Elves sailing to Quel'Thalas, this island now is the place where nature, magic and power unite to keep the egg from enemies. This union of keepers is known as the "Order of the Phoenix". For centuries there was no one to attack it.
Until now.
Now the piece of land is assaulted by the Undead Scourge, Fire Elementals lead by a Fire Lord, claiming to be a keeper of an Old God and forest trolls ruled by a sea giant. Also tribes of Murlocs lead by a human mage are trying to destroy the egg. The reasons for all these attacks are unknown. Your mission is not to save the egg - there are enough keepers for this, but to find WHAT IS THE REASON for the attacks. (The answer is NOT 42, DivineBoss!)

Characters:

Turf Bloodhoof
An outstanding Tauren that loves history. He's the only Tauren in the Dwarven Explorer guild, and is not member of the OotP. His friend, Jorry Reedwine has asked him for help, knowing that he's skilled both in fighting and solving mysteries...

Jorry Reedwine

He Brings PANDAMONIUM! Brewmaster, shaman and later a death knight (you'll see what actually happens in the campaign), he serves to the Order with all he can give. He's also an owner of a small ale factory and is a member of the Whitebrew cartel, a goblin cartel selling ales.

Prince Nazit Wiseleader
The leader of the Order of the Phoenix. His magic powers serve for keeping the egg. His name perfectly fits him. The third (for now) playable hero.


Gameplay:

Not like the original Blizz campaigns, but more like an RPG with quest elements. i have the idea to try to make it look like JnR a bit.





Download Mission 1 and tell me what you think. Short, will serve as an introduction. Don't die. Will be changed (Hero Respawn system + live system and more quest items (meaning quest as the type of game)). Really it's not even a beta, so don't expect much.

It's too similar to the style of rexxar's campaign (founding of durotar), and it really could do with some custom items. Also a story explaining the phoenix is definitely going to need to be added to the map... I was fairly lost as to what was going on for the most part. So basically add custom units (differenthp, abilities, damage etc), custom abilities would be great, some different items and also a less linear path.

I don't know if thats too much to say seeming its just a first mission, but for the future product that's what I recommend.
