Disclaimer: Parts of this thread has been taken from another thread or received from other players for a more informative guide. (I have placed a * by what I have received help on.) Estoc Edge Guide Hello all! I was warring the other day when someone in Clan Chat said it was their first EE. I decided to follow them and assist them throughout the war. Which got me thinking, the guide, although helpful, doesn't fully explain EE at this time period. So, I figured to make this thread to help new kawers learn about EE and how to war effectively. (If anything is wrong, please follow me and let me know. I will change it.) Index Backstory Vocabulary Basics Strategies* Rewards* FAQ/QA* Vanished Paladins Backstory Long before the Mage uttered her fateful curse, an unusual incident befell the Red War Paladins… It happened on a still, moonless night, when the faint rustle of the desert wind was the only sound to be heard. No shrieks pierced the noiseless night, yet in the morning, the captain awoke to discover five of his bravest soldiers gone—vanished without a trace. the captain claimed the men fled of their own volition, they were cravens not worthy of the Paladin name. Yet inwardly, the captain knew this was a lie… For the vanished knights were of the bravest stock—they had not fled, they had been taken. Though a man of questionable virtue, few believed the Paladin Captain would betray his own men. Yet after an ill-fated game of chance with the infamous mercenary, Rancor the Razer, the Captain struck a duplicitous deal. Rather than part with his beloved treasure, the Paladin Captain sold his best soldiers to Rancor. A kidnapping was arranged, and under dark of night, Rancor the Razer took his spoils. The Paladin army was henceforth split in two factions: the remaining Red War Paladins, and the small group of soldiers taken by Rancor. Betrayed by their captain, the taken Paladins chose a new name—the Vanished Paladins—and adopted Rancor's cruel, merciless fighting style. The Vanished Paladins will stop at nothing to eradicate the Paladin Captain and his remaining Red Paladin forces. The blood feud between the Paladin Captain and Rancor the Razer raged on. To distinguish their armies, the rival leaders took up fierce animal helms—the Paladin Captain chose the mighty grizzly bear, while Rancor chose the lone wolf. As kingdoms and clans are forced to take sides in this epic war, the realm is plunged into utter chaos. Neither captain is virtuous, for powerful men are rarely pure of heart—nevertheless a choice must be made. Will you stand and fight with the traitorous Bear, or slink into the shadows with the Wolf? Prepare for cruel betrayals, shifting allegiances and the breakdown of ancient truces. Trust no man—for many a warrior would sooner stick a knife in your back then reveal his true allies Vocabulary Kaw slang used during EE.
