| - The Praetorian was founded by Kerix Falco at the order of Imperator Erenan Telmyre of the Order of Lordaeron. It's initial purpose was to merely protect the Imperator from all hostile assassins or attackers and assist him in battle. It's purposes grew and over a few more weeks became a taskforce, and more or less a private small elite army for the Imperator to use as he saw fit. What missions the Praetorian undertook in this time has been unreleased, as of yet. When The Order of Lordaeron began to manifest into a nation, taking the Hillbrad territory, as well as part of the Silverpine Territory, they elected a new king. The Order's Brucillan Garian was elected, over Erenan Telmyre. The order split, Erenan saying he had birthright to the throne, and Brucillan claiming the throne because he was elected by the council. In this situation, Kerix Falco, Centurion of the Praetorian, stepped in and exiled Erenan Telmyre, nearly killing him for trying to assault Brucillan, and put Garian in power. Kerix Falco saw what the Praetorian had become; more than a government toy, and much of a society, and group of its own. He informed King Garian of his intentions and simply left the service of Lordaeron, and formaly recreated the Praetorian as a faction of it's own. The time of the Praetorian was good. They were growing, prospering, and strengthening with new, strong members joining often. Tragedy struck, unfortunatly, in the form of The Burning Legion. The Praetorian, in the time of their divorce from Lordaeron, had undertook many campaigns against the legion, and got it's attention, in the worst way. Campaigns where thousands of legion troops were killed, one way or another, and leaders were assassinated. The Legion planned a massive ambush on all Praetorian, all over Azeroth, and the outland, and attack all at once. Most of the 62 Praetorian received different numbers of Dreadlords, Pitlords, Wathlords, mixed amounts of infantry legion units and some even were visited by Eredar. Only 4 survived. Kerix Falco, Umbrii, Araoth, and Eriko. Kerix and Umbrii were visted by, and killed a, Pitlord, though Kerix sustained massive damages and technically died, but was resurrected. Araoth was attacked by an unidentified Demon, but retreated from the attacker, and was, because of this, exiled from the Praetorian. Eriko was attacked by a Dreadlord, and killed it, was very wounded, but recovered. Since that time, Kerix has repaired the Praetorian, and considered this a test to weed out the weak ones who could not handle the worst of situations. He gathered help from many other factions, he considered noble, and assaulted the legion commanders who plotted against the Praetorian, and completely destroyed them all.
