In a disturbing and shocking revelation, the very fabric of our civil liberties is being torn asunder by rogue military elements in the heart of our beloved Stormwind. A trusted source, who will remain anonymous for their protection, has exposed a harrowing tale of assault, false arrest, and gross abuse of power by members of the Seventh Legion, under the commands of Lord Ruthseer and a so-called Spy Master,
"Percy".
Imagine you are the spymaster of an alliance intelligence organisation meant to aide the military organisations in the alliance.
Imagine it is a Sunday evening, and you are working.
What do you spend your time on? preventing attacks against the Kingdom of Stormwind and the alliance? Gathering information about our enemies?
Or do you do decide to pull rank and force members of other military organisations to harass, bully, beat up and interrogate civilians you don't like?
On Sunday, our source was minding their own business when they were violently assaulted by members of the military.
"They saw me, came around, demanded a word, rudely, I said no thanks, and he grabbed me by the hood and hit me," the source recounted, showing the still-visible bruises and a gash on their left temple. This egregious attack did not end there. Yarin Sunfury, from the Seventh Legion acting under orders from a
"Lord Ruthseer" (what company he serves is currently unknown) further humiliated the source by dragging them to the Stockades and attempting to grill them for information—an interrogation marred by internal conflict among the assailants themselves.
What heinous crime had the source committed to warrant such brutality? They were simply overhearing a conversation, a benign act that hardly constitutes grounds for arrest, let alone a savage beating. "I was sitting on a bench on the other side of the planter, ain't illegal," they stated, shaking their head at the absurdity of the accusations.
The chilling revelations continued as our source disclosed that the orchestrator of this terror, the spy-master
"Percy", allegedly instructed his minions to
"beat me up, not arrest me." The utter disdain for legal processes and basic dignity displayed by this self-proclaimed Spy Master is nothing short of reprehensible. Yarin Sunfury even openly discussed almost killing our source in the past and
"Lord Ruthseer" expressed an intent to confiscate their birds, suspecting them to be spies.

One might hope that such abuses would be swiftly addressed by the authorities. However, the reality is far more grim. Our source revealed,
"I reported it to the Guards. They said because they're military, the reports just go to their commander." So who do we - the citizens - look to for justice when the guards hands are tied?
This article is not just a call for justice for our brave source but a clarion call for systemic reform.
We have seen it in the past, when military companies and so called "intelligence operatives" are left unchecked people get hurt or vanish. Innocent people. Could be you, could be your sister.
I still have the scars on my body from when one such organisation tried to have me killed.
The military must be held to the same standards of accountability as any other institution. We demand a full investigation into these allegations and ideally the immediate suspension of all involved parties pending the outcome.
Our rights and freedoms are too precious to be trampled upon by those who believe themselves to be above the law. This is a fight for justice, for accountability, and for the very soul of our Kingdom. We will not rest until those responsible are brought to justice and our civil liberties are safeguarded against such flagrant abuses of power.
It has been confirmed by the Stormwind City Guards that a report has been filed about the incident.
However, because the people accused are all members of the military the reports just go to their commander. The City Guards has passed on the report the military units in question, but they have not heard back from them, and also stated they may not hear anything at all.
The Lion's Roar will gladly accept an official explanation of this behaviour, should the military organisations involved feel the need to explain their actions.
