Once, long ago... the demigod Omen was a being of great strength and knowledge. Blessed by Elune herself, Omen wandered primordial Kalimdor, guiding hunters and gatherers and offering luck and advice to all he met. When the Burning Legion launched their attack, Omen allied with Azeroth's defenders and fought bravely..but after many battles, his wounds from the demonic forces plunged him into a deep, dreaming sleep where fel-inspired nightmares slowly consumed him. When he finally awoke, centuries later, he had fallen to madness.

The transformed Omen rampaged. No longer a creature of wisdom, but still possessing the strength of Elune's blessing..he tore through the land, killing and devouring. Terror rode before him, and death trailed in his wake.

Omen's spree of horror ended when a coterie of ancient heroes gathered in the village of Nighthaven and faced the beast. They called down the moon's wrath and Omen, blinded and stunned by the power of the moon goddess, fled into the deep waters of Lake Elune'ara. That day marked the end of his rampage and symbolized a new beginning for the people of Azeroth and the followers of Elune.

The great beast, even though he had been defeated so many centuries ago, still remains sleeping amongst the silt in Lake Elune'ara. Although driven insane by the Burning Legion, the demigod still possesses Elune's blessing and hence, immortality.

It is during the Lunar Festival, that he stirs..and heroes of the land are called to defeat him once again.

The Dreadblade Assassins answered this call, drew their weapons and rode into battle! Many of our allies, from the heroic crew known as the Harbingers of Fate, to those stalwart tradesmen and women from The Silvermoon Trading Company, followed our charge. Our combined efforts sent that beast's soul back down into the murky depths to dwell in defeat for one more year..sealing the lands safety for now with the promise that next year, when the new year beckons the beast from his slumber once more..we will be there to stand against him yet again.
