I require some.. Extreme aid..

Well, I'll start by saying, Greetings everyone.
I've came here today because I require assistance with an upcoming project I wish to take on.
You see, lately, I'mve been drawn to this game, so much so that I can't help but have a burning desire to create something similar.. To create my own modification for this game. Now, allow me to explain what I have in mind here..
For the past four years or so, I've been co-writing a novel of sorts with someone, this novel is what I hope to some day make public, it's something I hold very dear to me. This novel contains all forms of fiction and fantasy, it's grown in size a little bit everyday.. Yet.. Now, it must be placed on hold. My Co-Writer has become incredibly busy as of late, and has had to sort through many issues as well..

I need something to fill the gap of lost time, time which I would normally spend writing..
Thus I look to modifying this wonderful game, modifying it in the image of my novel, creating a new world of characters and giving the Warcraft Universe something it's never seen before. This I would greatly enjoy. But, as the thread title suggests, I need aid in this. Aside from my writing abilities, and extreme patience with things, I really have little talent.. I can't model or draw, I can't do a whole lot, which would be required for this.. So I suppose, I have quite a huge list of requests here..

I need modeler's, I need artists, for concept art and skinning or just about any form of art, I could also use voice actors and music writers, but the latter two are unimportant at such a time, that would be something that could wait until the project actually went into motion..
I.. Realize this is a bold request. But, should I acquire the aid I seek, I can guarantee this will be something worth seeing. I am also quite devoted to my work, so should I not get the aid I seek here, I will continue on until I do.

Ah, well, thanks to anyone who bothered to read all that.

You won't get any help unless you feed us a little storyline information.

Obviously, but I wished to make myself clear first, all the storyline in the world won't help if I'm asking for more than can be given.

Ahem
....
Imagine this, in the great scheme of things, one world is but nothing in size, one universe but a small sector of reality, and outside it all many other universes and worlds await.
Now picture the center of it all, located there is the main realm which contains everything, “The Nethereal Realm� a plain of existence which goes on endlessly containing all forms of life within.
….
Then there is the Ethereal Realm, a place of darkness where all forms of evil exist, including that which is feared by all, Hadia. This realm is ruled by the daughter of the Dark Lord, Queen Ethelenna, she controls every aspect of it, including Hadia. She is the very essence of evil. The goal of the Ethereals is not exactly to dominate; so much as it is to recreate everything in reality. To recreate it all in their image. (But to do this, they need to destroy.. everything first) as well as Ethelenna there are other threats, such as Queen Lythennia and Queen Scarlet, Ethelenna's sisters.. Lythennia being “The Queen of Night� she is the origin of all Life Devourers. (Vampires, Succubus', Incubus' and so on..) where as Scarlet is guardian to one of the Dark Lord's greatest creations..
….
As for the term “Nethereal's� it's used rather loosely, any form of good could be considered “Nethereal�, having said this, I will note that the actual Nethereal's are governed by their leader, Prince Altair al de Baronn. He is son of Lord Aldur, someone whom died protecting Reality from the Ethereal's long ago..
….
There also lies those who serve Atropa. Their leader, Carika, once Nethereal, she had her innocence stripped away by an Ethereal Incubus, yet instead of becoming one with the Ethereal, fate had a way of freeing her, and so she ended up as neither good nor evil, but instead began her own resistance against the War going on around her. Is she Neutral? Sort of, she's willing to help anyone… for a price. But at the same time, she loathes certain Ethereal's, and seeks to take control over reality in her own way, her own “peace� of sorts.

I could go on about other characters, details, and other things, but I'm trying to keep this as short as possible..
As for background on the story…

Reality was formed by ancient beings, Creators, each of these Creators were to add something to existence.. One of them (Namely Azgaroth, the Dark Lord) rebelled against the others, and thus, war began, a fight for everlasting power ensured.. Azgaroth created his Children, Ethelenna, Lythennia and Scarlet. While the other Creators made their own Holy warriors to combat The Dark Lord. (Now then, to simplify things, or rather, to make a long story short) Toward the end of the war, every Creator ended up passing away just as Azgaroth was defeated by Lord Aldur. Though, at a cost, Aldur passed on as well, and Azgaroth wasn't totally destroyed, but rather sealed away.. Now that seal is broken and war has begun all over again..

Whew.. Well honestly none of that did any of what I've written justice, mainly because it's hard to sum any of this up.. Well anyways, the idea here is to recreate the war between them all RTS style. I truly think it would work out well, in fact, I know it would. But I require a lot of help to make any of it possible..

I personally feel I summed that up horribly. But it's a very basic idea at the very least.
As for Aldur.. My co-writer came up with the name, I never really questioned it, so I can't be certain of it's origins.
I will note, that "Lord" is merely a title, he wasn't actually a God.
