Hello everyone! last week we did the story of the western plaguelands and originally
i planned on just adding this machinima to the massive story of scholomance.
However, khallys has done such an amazing job with it that I couldn’t wait to show
it in its full glory so after quite a few months of hard work...I’m proud to finally
show you: the story of Eva Sarkhoff or how scholomance as we know it today came to be...I
hope you’ll enjoy ^_^
EVA: Hello young one.
I am Eva Sarkhoff and this is my husband, Lucien.
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
TALIESIN: The pleasure is mine, madam.
Might I ask what it is that you are doing here?
EVA: Certainly, .
We were once servants of the house Barov: What is now known as the Scholomance.
I was the head maid and Lucien was Master Barov's butler.
We had worked for the Barovs for decades, until...
TALIESIN: Until what, Eva?
I must know.
EVA: Oh it's just so horrible, miss.
The house Barov was once full of life...full of splendor.
The story begings on a similar high note, will have to create Scholomance before and
after, green lush fields, a festival, dancing etc.
ALEXEI BAROV: Take a slice of pie, grab a glass of wine!
Enjoy yourselves all are welcome at the Barov's!
LADY BAROV: Our chef has prepared an excellent roast pig for dinner!
JANDICE BAROV: (to kids) Want to see a magic trick?
EVA: The manor was the Barov's primary residence amidst their far reaching empire.
Lucien and I noticed that as the days progressed, the Barovs became depressed.
Despondent.
LADY BAROV: Bandits have been seen all over Alterac.
I think we need to increase security around our
borders.
ALEXEI BAROV: They’re probably in league with that damn Blackmoore.
Have you seen that monster he’s trained to fight in his ring?
He’s up to something I know it.
Our estate….everything we’ve worked for… we can’t be here forever to
protect Caer Darrow.
Our land.
EVA: Paranoia and rage often overcame the master and missus.
At night, we could hear the Barovs arguing in their chambers.
From what we understood, their greed had 'broken the dam.' so to
speak.
TALIESIN: What do you mean?
ALEXEI BAROV: I see you wear the garb of the Kirin Tor.
I assume you are a mage from Dalaran then.
Tell me what is it you wanted to speak to me about?
KELTHUZAD: Lord Barov, you see, some of my peers would…disapprove of some of my studies.
The power I sought out.
And I think we can help each other out.
I heard you had your alchemists research the secrets of immortality.
I can help you there.
All I ask in return for eternal life, is that you provide me with your estate to train my
acolytes and advance my studies.
That is all.
EVA: We suspect that in order to preserve their fortune and hold of the land - well
past their lifespan – the Barovs made a deal with a powerful human
mage named Kel'Thuzad.
From this deal sprang the school of necromancy: A place which bore the Cult of the Damned
and would become their capital.
As each week passed, the house Barov became more and more decrepit...
Dark beings began to take residence in the various wings of the house.
Upkeep became impossible...and disgusting.
Why didn't you just leave?
And go where?
It was all that we knew; all that we had known and all that we would ever know.
Eventually, we lost contact with the Barovs and ultimately, were separated from the household.
We knew not what happened to the other servants, only that there were screams.
Tortured screams.
Knowing that we had nowhere to go, Lucien and I were forced to hide in our quarters.
During the day, when the school was relatively quiet.
Lucien would sneak out to scrounge up food and drink.
So what happened?
We did this for about six months and watched as the house went through horrifying changes.
Foul monsters roamed through the manor at will.
Dark cultists populated every inch with various paraphernalia relating to rituals and sacrifices.
We know that we could not hide much longer.
The chase scene dun dun duuun JANDICE BAROV:
We seem to have some leftovers.
Good.
You can help us study.
As expected, we were found and captured.
they stripped us of our cloths and lad us out inside a
circle of blood.
We sat there for days, naked and terrified.
No restraints?
Just a circle?
Restraints?
There are things in this world far more restraining than bars and shackles, young master.
the undead surrounding us, constantly tormenting us with horrifying acts of depravity.
Finally, he came.
He introduced himself as Doctor Theolen Krastinov.
We came to know him as 'The Butcher.'
Tell me more We finally understood what the screams were
from.
The Butcher exposed us to pain that we did not know existed.
He used us in countless experiments, attempting to devise a plague.
The days turned to weeks.
We would have died on the first day had it not been for that cruel monster keeping us
alive through magical means.
This is an atrocity.
The Butcher would speak of 'the blood of the innocents,' and his dark master, 'Kirtonos.'
of how he must appease his master.
Finally, the beast was done with his experiments.
We had been drained of all life.
Our spirts shattered.
The sweet embrace of death was upon us and we welcomed it with open arms.
But in his infinite cruelty, the Butcher revived us from the death's door.
We were to be kept alive and thrown to his ravenous ghouls. he laughed as he watched
the fiends devour our flesh.
I feel sick We feel nothing.
Our souls remain here, in limbo.
We are unable to leave until our remains are found and spirits laid to rest
“School is in session.”

thank you to her.
