((Stuff in this post is cut/pasted from the old Kindred forum, hence all in one post.))
October 14th: Kestrel tracked down Sarama to a bar in Theramore, and walked ran her across the continent to Darnassus, on orders to deliver the woman to Fandral Staghelm. Reputedly there was hostility involved, and a fight - or at least both arrived heavily bruised, and Sarama had what was probably a wolfbite on her armour.
October 29th: Sarama relays Staghelm's offer to reinforce the Guardians with Cenarion Circle veterans, in return for their service on a mission. Almae immediately decides first to finish a personal grudge against prince Kael'thas Sunstrider. Kestrel and Sarama quietly shot it down as a suicide mission.
November 5th: After an impromptu mission for the Cenarion Expedition, the druids remain in Outland to complete a piece of Gwen's training. Anadurion sent Kestrel back to tell Almae they will help with her attack on Kael'thas, on condition that she never ask druids of the Circle to do her personal business again.
November 11th: Upon finishing her tasks Gwenlyn is led before the Druids of the Talon who meet her with approval and acceptance; she is granted the blessing of the stormcrow. The Druids depart for Kalimdor. The journey to the Moonglade proves uneventful. Soon after their return, and feeling closer in her bond with Nature, Gwenlyn communes with the spirits of the wild under Anadurion's surveillance and is again met with a kinship that manifests itself strongly much to the surprise of the elder druid.
November 13th: The Guardians land in Northrend's Valiance Keep, and scatter to scout and gather intel before deciding how to proceed. Sarama is the first to return.
November 18th: Kestrel tracks down Hemet Nesingwary, to make sure there will be no need for violence between him and the DEHTA druids. Gwenlyn accompanies her. Upon her return to the druid camp, Gwenlyn appeared rather thoughtful (and faintly bruised). She remained at the camp a while, communing with the spirits of the Borean Tundra in the shape of a tree.
November 24th: A week or so after the DEHTA encounter, Kestrel alerted Sarama and Anadurion to news of a war among the dragonflights -- and more specifically, a red dragon captured by the blues, in need of rescue. Sarama relayed the news to Almae, who enlisted Nyrania to assist. The five entered the Nexus and succeeded in freeing the captured Red: however, she had been tortured past breaking point and they were forced to kill her as she attacked. Almae freaked out, and after a screaming fight with Anadurion and Kestrel, dashed off to claim responsibility to the Red Flight. Kestrel gave chase, and managed to intercept Almae before she reached Wyrmrest Temple. The two met Alexstrasza together. What passed there is known only to them and to the dragons.
December 1st: Kestrel calls a Howl, though as expected in times of war, few Guardians can gather for it. Sarama mentions actions of the Blue Flight she is investigating, and Kestrel takes the gathered five on a hit-and-run to assassinate one of the Vrykul chieftains whose men have been harrying Ally supply trains.
December 10th: Almae calls a meeting of the Guardians, and then almost calls it off as Kestrel and Anissina come to blows over a demon-tainted wolf Anissina has taken in. Kestrel loses the fight and stalnks off bleeding, not staying to watch Almae hand out assignments to other Guardians. After the meeting Anissina promises to deal with the animal and find another, and Sarama and Almae have hot words over leadership.

December 31st: Having weeks ago sought the Guardians' aid in discovering knowledge lying in the depths of Azjol-Nerub, Anadurion has turned to the Dragonflights for more decisive action and awaits for their response.
Kestrel meets Anadurion at the outskirts of Wyrmrest Temple and seeks for his view on the recent news of Orcs marching towards Astranaar. Anadurion observes that it might only be paranoia following Cenarius' death, but agrees that any Guardians that can be spared should gather in defence of Ashenvale.

(early January) The Earthfury Clan and allies attack Astranaar. The Guardians are there and eventually help drive the invaders back to their doorstep. Afterward they discover the invaders true target was a Moonwell near Silverwind Lodge. The defiled moonwell is healed by the combined efforts of Jarob, Almae and Kestrel, while Sarama stands guard.

21st January: At a meeting at Maestra, Serinde warns the Guardians of a threat from Malygos to Ysera's Emerald Dream -- apparently the Blue Flight is massing magical power and trying to break into the Dream, as evidenced by arcane runes on Ysera's Great Tree in Crystalsong Forest. Jarob and Kestrel are sent to investigate with Serinde.
Aranumana and Daliscar are sent to Azshara and Winterspring to watch the Blue dragonkin there.
Sarama forms a strikeforce to counter Blue machinations somewhere in Dalaran.
The Heartstone is created at Maestra. Guardians can now travel there to meet in minutes, whenever it should be required.

Kestrel, Serinde and Jarob investigate the area around Dalaran. The threat Serinde reported is deemed real: Jarob reports it to the Cenarion Circle, while Serinde stays to watch for further developments.

Several Guardians attend the Howl in Moonglade. After the event Jarob draws them aside and explains the Cenarion Circle has ruled and given them their orders: the Great Tree is to be cut, because Malygos can't steal what isn't there, and Ysera can regrow what is hers in time. Both Almae and Kestrel instantly go up in flames - the two agreeing on anything is almost unprecedented. For the first time in history, the Cenarion Guardians refuse orders.
Kestrel storms off, and together with Serinde finds Keeper Remulous. They begs him to appeal the decision -- there is something the Circle doesn't know, a secret that was hidden with the help of Cenarius himself 7000 years ago, before Staghelm's time.
Remolous agrees, and convinces the Circle to wait by explaining he has another way. He will need the services of the Guardians, once he has convened with the Dream to determine exactly what will be asked of them.

There was a surprise Blood Elf assault on Maestra last night, a group of primarily warlocks who tried to tear up the heartstone and kicked the piece they got through a portal. There's also minor fire damage to the building.
This of course doesn't effect the stone's function at all, because it goes down all the way to bedrock and draws it's power from earth. It'll repair its physical shape in time, too. Druids will guess the bit the attackers tore off will become inert stone after a while, now that it's separated from it's power source.

The Guardians gather at Maestra's Post to assess the recent assault and to hear word from Moonglade. The damage done is deemed small, but the question why the attack took place in the first place is left unanswered for the time being.
The news from Moonglade: Remulos requires growing things from the tomb of Cenarius' eldest and a primal fire born of Neltharion's children. The Guardians seem troubled by the growing perils but agree to this nevertheless and scatter to face their new duties.

At the meeting:
- A death knight approached the Guardians, claiming to ahve been a Cenarion Circle agent in life and asking help destroying a threat he remembers from his time under the Scourge. - Aleithia was confirmed as a full member and given the rank of scout. - Sarama is organising a strike against a dragon Kestrel foung for Remulos's task - Almae departed on a mission to Silvermoon

The dragon was defeated, though Illidor and Kestrel's wolf took a judicious beating in the course. Ex delivered the beast's heart to Moonglade, and sent back news of another dragon that should be dealt with later.
Kestrel approached the Moonguard, who promised to aid the Guardians in the battle that they'll face when they complete Keeper Remulos's tasks. Exactly what the battle is, she wouldn't say, for fear of spies

Sentinels in Auberdine report a hippogryph approaching from Darnassus was shot down by a barage of fireballs. Slightly later flashes, probably magic, were seen from the water. Voices were heard speaking Orcish in a Thalassian accent -- a blood elf strike is suspected.
Around the same time Kestrel yelped on the guild link about being shot in Darkshore. Nothing has been heard since, no physical sign was found, Serinde is trying to track her magically through the guild token.
Some hours later Aliethia made her way to Moonglade, gravely injured, but bringing Remulos the seeds from Zaetar's grave. Even with healing from her teacher and the Keeper, she will be some days recovering.

Serinde meets Sarama at Maestra's Post to inform her of the failure to trace down the current whereabouts of the Blood Elves. She doubts Kestrel's guild token would serve in the wrong hands, but voices the possibility of severing it from the dreamstone as a last resort. As it would also close a possible escape route, Sarama tells her to only watch for now, and to do it should anything change.

Exmeralda visited Maestra's Post in the dead of night, and hung inside what appears to be the tattered remains of a guild tabard with gold stripes, the one Almae wore over one of the banners. It is covered in dirt and blood.
