Nipheia of House Vaux

Member of the Month, February 2026

Within the Redscar Legion, not every contribution is measured in blood spilled or contracts completed. Some members strengthen the Legion in quieter ways, through morale, knowledge, and a steady hand behind the scenes. This month’s spotlight falls on Nipheia of House Vaux, a woman whose talents span both refinement and ruthlessness.

For the record, Nipheia identifies herself as “Nipheia of House Vaux,” explaining that her skills naturally place her in multiple roles within the Legion, including “event coordinator, intel seeker and should the need arise, interrogator,” all centered around entertainment and knowledge.

She speaks openly about why morale has become a personal responsibility. Redscar work, she notes, “can be bloody, dirty and drag members far from home,” often putting strain on both the body and mind. To counter that, Nipheia has made it her mission to organize morale-boosting events like tours, cocktail tastings and “whatever else captures our fancy.” She is quick to acknowledge that these efforts are not hers alone, emphasizing that “it would be a failure not to mention Suits and Kirasande’s assistance,” noting that they have “just as good as an eye for these events as I do.”

Her role within the Legion, however, does not stop at social coordination. When the subject turns to interrogation, Nipheia admits that her methods were once a tight-lipped secret, though she now chooses to speak plainly. She explains that she has been practicing void magic for quite some time now, and that it is remarkably effective at “weaseling into someone’s mind.” Still, she adds with characteristic confidence that “simply asking with a pretty face does the trick more often than not.”

Finding Her Place in the Redscar Legion

Nipheia’s journey to the Legion began with a desire for change. She felt it was time to leave Suramar and integrate more seamlessly into the Horde, hoping to learn from them as much as serving them. When she encountered a posted advertisement for the Redscar Legion, she believed they could use her talents, and she could have a chance to boost her own knowledge and practices.

Her time with the Legion has proven rewarding. She describes it as an enriching experience, highlighting the value of being “in a rich cultural blend and among motivated folks.”

A Taste for Variety

When asked what kind of work she enjoys most, Nipheia admits it is a tricky question. While she says she would likely choose planning events, she explains that it is simply what she acclimates to easiest. At the same time, she expresses a strong appreciation for missions and exploration, noting that “you never know what you’ll find.” Ultimately, she agrees that enjoying a variety of work keeps the mind sharp.

Redscar Friends

Trust is not something Nipheia grants lightly. When asked who she trusts most at her back, she answers without hesitation that it is “dear Kirsande Mirkalla.” She describes her as a reliable companion, and a brilliant mind to work with, praising the devices she has designed and perfected. Nipheia believes firmly that they’ll be achieving much in the future.

Their bond predates the Legion itself. She recalls that they knew each other years ago, only realizing they had both joined Redscar when they found themselves suddenly face to face in the guild hall.  She also makes a point to recognize Suits, stating that “He too has more than earned my trust.”

Thoughts on the World

If given the power to change one thing about the world, Nipheia’s answer is thoughtful and measured. She says she would change it so people weren’t so distractable, observing that “too many of us become too engulfed in nonsense that we can’t see the bigger picture.”

Hobbies & Interests

Despite describing herself as “a very busy woman,” Nipheia insists that she enjoys her work and is “always having fun.” When pressed about what she does in her spare time, she mentions reading and taking walks, particularly favoring places with flowers. She reflects fondly on the gardens of her family’s estate, noting that they help her focus on her thoughts.

OOC:

How long have you been playing World of Warcraft?

I’ve been playing on and off since Mists of Pandaria. Although I didn’t join the rp scene until either Warlords or Legion.,

What’s your favorite thing to do in WoW?

Roleplaying! It’s the one thing that keeps me coming back to the game.,

What kind of RP do you enjoy most? (Military, social, dark themes, etc.)

I’ve been enjoying social, adventure and dark themes.,

What do you enjoy most about Redscar Legion?

I appreciate the effort put into making this guild active, as well as the variety of events. We have a great group of people, and I enjoy spending time with all of them!,

Anything you’d like to see more of in the guild going forward?

The only suggestion I’d make is that I’d like to see more mission/story roleplay done in game. I feel like the bulk has been in Discord which is fine, but personally I’d enjoy more in game stuff too.,

Overall this is one of the best guilds I’ve been in, if not the best. The non existent drama and consistent focus on engagement is something that has set this guild apart from the rest, and I’m glad to be a part of it. Nipheia is happy too 

Redscar Legion Acquires Driftwatch Village

The Redscar Legion accepted a contract from a druid named Talen’zek who came from a small fishing village on the coast near Orgrimmar and Azshara. Driftwatch Village had been suffering strange tides and vanishing fishermen. The sea itself had seemed to turn against his people. Hoping to save them from whatever lurked beneath the waves, he hired the Redscar Legion.

When they arrived on the beach in Driftwatch, they found corrupted sea life that attacked them, harsh waters, and siren calls tempting them to the water. They fought through and made their way to a cave that the druid thought might contain the source.

There, they fought against Zalthira, Handmaiden of the Drowned Depths, once of the Court of Queen Azshara. The battle that followed churned earth and sea alike. Spells shattered against waves, and blades whistled through the air. In the end, their combined efforts defeated the sea witch, but they did not kill her. Zalthira escaped, slipping beneath the darkened water before the Redscars could finish her.

The calm sea and lack of cursed sea creatures on the beach, along with the absence of the siren songs, was enough for the remaining villagers to claim victory for the Redscars. Talen’zek thanked them for saving what remained of his people, and, in gratitude, offered them stewardship of the village. In exchange for their continued protection, the Redscars would now claim a coastal home of their own, a place to rebuild and defend while the depths whispered of threats yet to return.

((Driftwatch Village is the name of the guild neighborhood. There are still plenty of choice plots available, so come and visit us!))

Day of the Dead Celebration

Sunday, November 2, 2025

The Redscar Legion met at the cemetery just outside the Orgrimmar gates for a Day of the Dead celebration preceded by Redscar business and updates.

Several members introduced themselves, including Grishokk, Kirasande, Suits, Vilasandra, Gatti, and Alar.

During the assembly, Kirasande, Suits, and Gatti were promoted to the rank of Reaver, earning recognition for their growing contributions to the Legion.

The group was then briefed on their first mission. Kirasande will lead the investigation into the mysterious engineer responsible for crafting helmets capable of mind-controlling three hundred baby murlocs, who had been used to plunder a weapons shop. Meanwhile, Gatti will head a recovery team tasked with locating and reclaiming the stolen goods.

In honor of the Day of the Dead, the Legion took time to share tales of their fallen loved ones.  Some stories were spoken with solemn reverence, others with laughter and fond remembrance, each a tribute to the lives that shaped them.

((OOC: Bropacmeat requested we start doing some Mythic dungeons together.))
