[edit] About
Shadow Song, sometimes referred to as "The Order of Shadow Song" is a semi-secretive order heavily involved with the Alliance and Argent Dawn. A common misconception is that Shadow Song pays homage to Maiev Shadowsong, whom played a key role in the battle against the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients. "Shadow Song" pays homage to the founder's Mother (a fact never revealed in character).
"Those who walk just outside of the light, are all connected and can hear the whispers in the wind. If they listen close enough that is, they can hear the shadow's song." - Tala'ana Xintari.
Sadly it has been found that the races of Azeroth can not hear this 'song'.
[edit] History
Founded by Thanatosa Xintari, Shadow Song was established (December 2007) as a 'call name' for the people that had come to work with her often in the tasks appointed to her by the Alliance. One of the Alliance's best kept secrets, Shadow Song added a new depth to the work the founder had been doing for the Alliance already since the since shortly after the end of the Third War.
Shadow Song became known publicly (August 2008) opening it's doors to anyone wanting to train and help against the unknown. The group took up home in Darkshire with the purchase of The Scarlet Raven Tavern.
[edit] What does Shadow Song do?
Shadow Song has been described by players as many things. The best description has been "Shadow Song is like the Secret Service, but better, as they aren't government run, but are government sanctioned."
Shadow Song's primary objectives is the Burning Legion and the Scourge. However, they handle all areas of unknown oddities. The bulk of the issues they handle, never reaches public eye. This leaves little information available to what they have accomplished as records are either sealed or destroyed depending on the issue.
Some duties include demonic termination, under cover ops, trade handling/acquiring goods and negotiations.
Above all else, Shadow Song is a defender of the people. They protect the citizens of Azeroth from the known and unknown.
