Chapter Two
A detailed description of the underground cavern … It's a large circular cavern, about the same size as Shattrath City's upper floor. It is split in the middle by a dirt street that bridges a river on the east side. Just across the river is the mine that the prisoners work at. The north side of cavern is the Horde side and home to the Clans Elfkiller, Greatwolf and Stonecat. The south side is the Alliance, home to the Clans Earthhunter, Silverhelm and Ironsong, more about those in a moment. Behind the individual Clan's encampments is communal gathering area one for each faction. If you follow the road west you come to a large iron door that only opens when new recruits are brought in. The demons come and go on their wings, the entrances they use hidden in the darkness of the high roof. There is also a small stage on the path that auctions and executions are held on. Each Clan has a separate encampment that is surrounded by a wall made out of various materials depending on the particular clan, most use rock but some have used their wages to increase security with barbed wire and such. Within the camp you'll find shelters, most are communal but some have private sleeping quarters. You'll also find a large fire pit with a table near by once again used by everyone when mealtime arrives. The dwarves have created forges and stills to brew their ale. Other races have added their own personal touches, looms and gardens magically grown. The Clans … Elfkiller – Closest to the river on the Horde side, it is home to Orcs and Trolls and is led by the Orc Demoncraft. The largest of the Horde clans it usually at its maximum of twenty members, though it also goes through the most recruits. Demoncraft has recently appointed himself leader of the Elfkillers, killing the previous one a kinder Mag'har Orc. Demon is from Orgrimmar, a warrior caught while on a mission in the Outlands. The same for any Troll under his ranks, Orcs are a mixture of Mag'har and Orgrimmar Orcs. Some of the Mag'har Orcs have been prisoners for years. Greatwolf – Middle encampment on the North side. Home to the Tauren and an occasional Troll or Mag'har Orc, they are lead by the mighty Tauren shaman Atot Pridebite. This is a recent developed Clan (after the dark portal opening) and thus smaller than Elfkiller. Stonecat – Furthest from the river this is the Forsaken camp, led by an undead warlock by the name of Deathshiver. Another recently formed clan they take only their own kind and enjoy tormenting the Alliance but will do the same to the other Horde clans if the chance arises. Ironsong – Across from Stonecat this is the Dwarven clan led by the great paladin Rad Bloodhammer. Rad has been a prisoner for a decade captured while trying to defend Honor Hold in the time before the dark portal opening. This is a large Clan with close to twenty members. Silverhelm – The middle Alliance camp is home to every race that calls themselves Alliance, led by Captain Dylan Morris a human knight whom was a lot younger when he first came to this place over a decade ago. Like Bloodhammer he was a defender of Honor Hold caught off guard. When the auction happens he'll bid on Alliance members the other two clans show no interest in just to keep them out of the hands of the Horde clans. Which means his clan is always at their size limit. Earthhunter – Closest to the river and the clan the tale is mostly centered on. There are ten members now, eleven counting the Blood Elf. The elves hide their true names and use their surnames or nicknames. Akire "Falcon" Crystalpath Race: Night Elf Class: Druid Sex: Male Physical Description: Long violet locks that he keeps in two braids. Has a scruffy beard and bushy eyebrows that match his purple hair. Personality: Calm and thoughtful for the most part, very protective to those under his command. He would do anything for Crystal. When angered, Falcon's feral side shows through. Notes: Has been a prisoner for ten years, is married to Crystal Faya "Crystal" Crystalpath Race: Night Elf Class: Warrior Sex: Female Physical Description: Long silver hair in a single braid, purple marking on her face.

Personality: Red is mute, lost her voice after being raped by Illidan's army shortly after her capture. She has great empathy toward others and is very protective of her Clan. She can't stand small spaces, thus doesn't work in the mine. Notes: She is usually left to guard the camp with Mutt while the others work in the mine.

Mostly quiet unless there is ale around then like all good dwarves he'll get a bit more rowdy.

(More on that later) The weapons are to protect the clan against the horde clans. He has been a prisoner for about five years. Mudon Fiendsmiter Race: Dwarf Class: Warrior Sex: Male Physical Description: Long light brown hair pulled up in a short ponytail. Has a long braided beard with a shorter but still lengthy mustache.

Rarvo Shalemelter Race: Dwarf Class: Rogue Sex: Male Physical Description: Long gray hair, except for the top of his head which is bald. Has a full beard that covers most of his chest and a short mustache. Personality: Rarvo has a similar personality to the jolly Night Elf, Sly. You can often find the pair of them enjoying a glass of ale and swamping wild stories of their younger years. Notes: Rarvo is a friend to everyone, well as long as you're alliance side.

Personality: Is one of the 'guys', can drink any of them under the table, very independent and quick to adapt to her new surroundings. Notes: Brand new to the clan, more on Gola as the story progresses. Life in the Hell Cavern The location is not exactly known to the prisoners, it is deep underground somewhere in the Outlands. The prisoners believe that Illidan pulls the strings but they have never seen him. Their wardens are giant winged demons, which for the most part leave the prison colony to their own devices. The prisoners actually earn wages by working the mine; it's a vast maze and within various valuable metals can be found. However, it has been mined for over two decades now and the miners must travel deeper than before to find ore. No one has ever escaped Hell Cavern and those that have tried are subjected to a painful death. The wages the prisoners earn is directly based on how much ore they bring out of the cave every day. The coins wouldn't buy a slice of stale bread outside the cavern but are used to barter and trade within. Most Clan members split their meager earnings fifty-fifty with the clan, keeping half for their personal use and putting half in a communal coffer. The joint money is used to buy food, new recruits and to bolster defense. Prisoners are allowed to carry weapons as well; the demon guards do not fear a revolt. They keep a tight hand-hold on the number of prisoners that are in the Cavern at any given time. And they can summon a dozen reinforcements at a moment notice. The petty fighting between clans amuses them, they often watch from their lofty perches long before interfering with any disputes.Author's Note: I think I can cover the rest of the history and details in the tale as I go, I just wanted to describe characters and surroundings and wasn't sure I could do a good job while trying to tell a story. Next chapter we're back to the adventure. -K
