Epitaph belonged to Reaper's Call guild. The moment he logged in that day, a guild officer passed him an assignment: escort a batch of fresh recruits to the neutral territory of the Arid Plains and help them find their footing.
Keen to secure a spot on Reaper's Call's main raid team, Epitaph accepted without hesitation. He put his own Arid Plains quests on hold and headed straight to Verdant Spire, where the new Undead players were waiting.
Reaper's Call's influence was spreading fast. Players from the Tauren and Orc factions were joining their ranks in growing numbers, so Epitaph didn't rush off after collecting his charges. He stayed, coordinating movements, checking equipment—and that was when he saw Featherlight arrive.
Ryan hadn't displayed his real-time ID, but several of the surrounding guild members had theirs visible. While Flowing Light, Featherlight's guild, wasn't a massive force, his reputation was distinctive enough that most seasoned players knew the name.
