Azshara’s Court - The Queen’s Handmaidens

Queen Azshara’s personal attendants, the handmaidens, were responsible for performing many superficial tasks for their ruler that ranged anywhere from brushing her hair to carrying the trains of her various gowns [The Well of Eternity, Chapter Six]. They lived in quarters adjacent to Azshara’s own private chambers and accompanied her at all times [The Sundering, Chapter Fourteen, Chapter Seventeen]. 

Handmaidens were, in part, picked for their beauty [The Sundering, Chapter Two, Chapter Seventeen]. Azshara accepted nothing but absolute perfection from her handmaidens to the point that she dismissed those who suffered any appearance-altering injuries [The Sundering, Chapter Seventeen]. 

While little is known about the criteria by which Azshara picked her handmaidens, it may be reasonable to assume that most, if not all, were of Highborne blood. However, it is important to note that the Queen once requested a lowborn elf, Tyrande Whisperwind, join the ranks of her handmaidens [The Sundering, Chapter Two]. Therefore, it is possible that any female Kaldorei, should they have been fortunate enough to catch Azshara’s eye, could have become one of her personal attendants. 

Even though most high ranking naga we know of were once Kaldorei Highborne, it is impossible to say with any certainty whether or not all of the naga handmaidens listed below served under Azshara prior to the War of the Ancients. Naga society resembles the Highborne political hierarchy of old, which gives us some cause to believe that the handmaidens have held their position since before the Sundering, however, the naga have undergone massive political restructuring in the last ten thousand years. The deaths of countless naga almost certainly created voids which other high ranking naga had to fill. In addition, the birth of new naga over the centuries, not to mention the obvious lack of distinction between elf-born naga and pure born naga, certainly confuses the scholar trying to parse out which naga lived pre-Sundering and which didn’t. Having said that, while it is assumed all handmaidens listed below served as Azshara’s personal attendants during the time of the Kaldorei Empire, it is entirely possible they have only recently ascended to the position. 

Named Handmaidens:

Aethanel <Cursed Handmaiden of Azshara>

Lady Silazsi <Handmaiden of Azshara>

Lady Vashj

Lysande

Sak’ja <Queen’s Handmaiden>

Szali’ra <Handmaiden Ascendant>

Vizja’ra <Queen’s Handmaiden>

Zsal’iss <Queen’s Handmaiden>

Neutral Player Created Events and how they Absolutely Make Sense in WoW

I’m less of a writer than artist, but I’ll try to put ideas into words. I also want to preface by saying that these expressions are my thoughts and opinions, and they���re a short exploration of player-based narrative. I’m not here to change anyone’s mind, but I hope it provides a new, fun perspective.

The main storyline in Battle of Azeroth is the Horde vs Alliance conflict. It’s a tale told before, we’re most if not all familiar with it, and like or hate it it’s what we, as players and the characters we play in this world, are going through. It’s war.

In most war-time situations, you have one side against the other and rarely interact. That’s a given. The people that are not on your side are expected to be seen as an enemy first regardless of their personal allegiances (ie: secondary factions).

I want to focus more of Factions (Horde and Alliance) and where do Neutral Locales and Events, specifically player-based, fit in. Because Neutrality fits in perfectly even in the middle of this heated war.

War is expensive. Resources are scarce and they’re being split between two warring factions for the leftovers of a planet ravaged by years of planet-threatening enemies, gods and dragons, and demons from beyond the stars. All the meanwhile, we, Horde and Alliance, were elbowing each other’s throats in the background. Every sword being made, every piece of armor repaired, transportation of contingents to and fro, feeding and clothing, medical and other supplies… That’s coin signs out of the window. So take what few materials, supplies, food, etc… and split it  between keeping up the Horde and Alliance war machines after saving the world over and over, and the incredible expense THAT is. That’s a hell of a dent in budget that’s probably being felt. Maybe armor and weapons are being refurbished more often and passed down second-hand than always shiny and new. Maybe your characters are starting to notice that rice and other easily mass-grown foodtypes are being served as rations a lot more often throughout the week. Everyone and everything is so spread out, and so spread thin, that no matter how many portals are popping up between cities it never feels that there’s both enough of anything nor that it’s getting there on time.

If there’s an area, locale, or business that’s Horde-only or Alliance-only, they’re likely going to be taxed heavily to upkeep their respective faction’s war budget. Not to mention the also likely lack of supplies and other materials needed as it’s probably being prioritized to those war efforts first before trickling down to the rest of the populace. Again, this is speaking in a broad, generalized manner. Long story short, Horde and Alliance are probably diverting a lot of their budget into martial expenses and both these factions and their people might be starting to feel the strain.

And so the boom of neutral zones, factions, and businesses.  

When you keep your neutral-nose out of war efforts, you don’t have to spend money on them. Neutral events, businesses, and locales are able to reinvest their earnings into themselves; providing more security, better supplies, and a safe place to truly let a person’s guard down and relax. They’re commodities. People stiff-tired from looking over their shoulders, fighting day in and day out, and having to work so hard for what may seem little reward in their respective factions may be more willing to spend their earnings into guaranteed comforts and leisure. It can be very lucrative. So that a group of one faction wants to set up an event or gathering in a neutral town? The leader(s) of that town just hear that there’s going to be a mass of people coming in, event coordinators and/or attendees alike, to spend money on their local businesses and services and products. Money for them. Money they don’t have to spend on anyone but themselves. Ka-ching!

Wouldn’t the Horde and Alliance be not okay with this arrangement since, by all means, this may provide breeding grounds for traitors and spies? It probably crossed their minds and may have sent emissaries to these neutral places and word their disapproval. And, just as likely, they each got sent back with a sackful of shinies and a note saying that if they want more of that for whatever they need to spend it on they will respect that their noses stay out these places. War-worn factions would not be wise to turn away a possible revenue stream, no matter how small, if it means keeping their budget afloat and one item of expenses less to worry about not sending emissaries or agents to sniff out potential traitors and/or spies that most likely just strain those already thin funds.

It is a (Neutral) win- (faction begrudging) win.

In short, player hosted neutral locales and events definitely make sense in World of Warcraft and both host and attendees deserve to have their backing in-game.
