When: October 10th, 5:00 PM ST
Where: OOCly Duskwood (ICly a safe far off corner of Tirisfal)
A curious thing has reached your ears...an even more curious notice was posted in a place only those who need it will see. A gathering in a far off corner of Tirisfal, untouched by the toxic blight, is happening soon.
Here, we come together to as Forsaken, for Forsaken, to remember all that has been lost. Not just their beloved city, but much much more. Home. Trust. Friends. Even hope. But not all is lost, no. Where things we believed in may have shown betrayal...is now when we must join together most of all and find the trust in each other, and see to the future. All may come to honor what Undercity stood for. What it still stands for. For what was. For what is. For the Forsaken.
~~
After many ups and downs, rescheduling and change of plans. Azeroth Peace Council happily presents our mirror event to Honoring of Teldrassil: Remembrance of Undercity. One that has changed greatly in meaning since it’s loss.
Here this event is not just to mourn a city that has meant so much to so many people, but to also reflect now on all that the Forsaken, and allies, endured and felt during this recent war, and the things that led up to it. The feeling of betrayal. The feeling of loss. Friends and families ripped apart and a leader they thought would stand as their ray of hope. Much is lost. But now we seek to gather what can be gained. A time of remembrance, togetherness and a show of care to a people who deserve it. This is for all the Forsaken who are hurt, confused and need a time to express and allow themselves a moment to grieve, for the Horde who support and fight along side their friends in their unlife, and for the others... who may have family who look different now, but still love them.
Join us, the Azeroth Peace Council and friends, to see these people honored and given the space express their grief and heartache, even if it beats slower or not at all. We welcome you...to the Remembrance of Undercity.
-- Below is important info on: Schedule, Rules , Location and Questions ----
Something in advance, please make sure you have either the pets: (Preferred!) Lost of Lordaeron, Wicked Soul or Tiny Apparition.
The rest of the information will be located beneath the Read More, please read thoroughly, as it holds very important things to know. Especially information for those who might not be Horde (Alliance).
Schedule:
All times are subject to change and fluctuate due to the nature of participation and role play. These are just estimates.
5:00 PM Server Time
The time to start showing up.
5:30- Thoughtful Souls
Here, you will have a chance to speak on your feelings. On what was lost. On what ...or who you lost. What this time means for you as Forsaken, and what it means over all. Undercity. Sylvanas. The divide. Anything...now is the time, to speak of mourning. Love. Grief. Anger.
I will be taking speakers before hand, please PM. The first few speakers will be given priority to Forsaken. After scheduled speakers, those from the group will go should time permit. You will have 8 minutes to speak. Pre-written if possible would be good here!
6:35~ (Depending how the speeches go/last)
The Ceremony of Embers and Spirit
Here, a ceremony will be had symbolic for all. A great fire will be made, and after the introduction and speech for it, will let all step forth and cast items into the fire. These items are to be a symbolic chance for your characters to get rid of the things they thought they could trust, things they do not stand for, things they want to forget.
Think about what your character may wish to cast in the fire (Be it old weapons, tabards, insignia, momentos of war ect). Things that they can be satisfied in seeing gone from their life, to move forward together with all. Please note: You do not have to throw everything in, there will be an important reminder about history and relics of the past.
And after...we will have a time to remember. To reflect. To honor and then to see restless spirits put at ease....
(This ceremony is for Forsaken and Horde)
-7:45-8:00
A Feast for the Weary and Hopeful
A special selection of food has been prepared for the Forsaken who can, would like to or benefit from eating. There will be a selection foods made from
pork blood and meat, mushrooms and forsaken nutritious molds and insects.
And that’s it...please don’t ask for alternative.
There will also be foods for the rest, of kodo stews, plainstrider haunches, blood sausage, fruit pies and why not... You also get some safe insect meals. Fried spider fritters and snail.
At this point, all will sit and feast and relax.
And should any...non Horde wish to express their feelings here, they may (If none were allowed to during the Thoughtful Souls)
Rules:
- Absolutely no trolling, griefing or over the top OOC and toy spam. If you do not intend to come to participate, do not come at all.
-If you are not in the position of speaking or giving a speech, please do not over do it with multi paragraphs. Due to crowd based RP, that can make it hard for people keep up. Please be courteous.
- Please behave ICly as well. Gotosh has hired specifically Death Knights for this as well as those volunteered from his Council, and he would prefer they didn’t have to enforce too much. Let this be a time of rest and remembrance, and no party antics.
- And a special note for Alliance who do show up to show support. Absolutely under any circumstance, please do not push it OOC or IC if a character in RP expresses distaste with you being close. The nature of this event is a little different then our Teldrassil event, and while you are not going to be shooed off, please respect the space of these characters and listen to security if they ask to make room. We want this event to be a realistic mesh of majority Forsaken and Horde, but with the allowance of Alliance who understand it’s nature. Forsaken were (are) human after all, and many wish to see their loved ones. This much, is very canon.
Questions:
Wait did you say...Alliance? Why would they BE at this, they shouldn't be allowed!:
While this is a Horde and Forsaken focused event, the Alliance who do want to show up, I am going to strictly say you better be Alliance who are here to support. Antagonistic behavior will not be allowed, dealt with and 100% not be put up with. But Alliance who wish to come somberly support will not be shunned, and we do not want you to either. It wouldn’t be fair to our first event, which was a Horde event where Alliance were allowed to come and see, if we did not allow this again. While the nature of Forsaken is different then Teldrassil, we want to create a realistic atmosphere. Even if its just a few Alliance, this should be a safe place for human relatives, grieving human relatives, and Alliance who have friendships with Horde and Forsaken. But please know, we understand the nature of the situation, and I hope this doesn’t deter you from showing. All privileges and focus will go to Forsaken and Horde first and foremost. I ask if you’re inviting friends, to please let them know of this so they do not try and take matters into their own hands. Security will be there after all.
Is there a dress code?:
Dark, forsaken inspired, things that are meaningful for your character to wear at an occasion like this.
Why wasn’t this held in Tirisfal?
We were noticing a lot strange things with Tirisfal phasing, even on the low level side. Duskwood has a quick and easy way of being accessed through the south, it’s low level and the area fits the mood aesthetically. Plus, it looks visually similar to our first event. ICly this is Tirisfal, in an area far off where the blight did not reach. This would also allow , should any sympathetic Alliance wish to show, they can so safely.
LOCATION
(Inky Black Potion for this event will enhance it! Yeah, Duskwood is dark...but you’ll see.)
Additional questions? Shoot us a message!

Winter screenshot dump!
1. Sharpen had a grand ole’ time rockin’ wild & out with The Good Apples at the Frosty Festival. These guys are an excellent band, you have to go see them!!
2. Sharpen’s friend Faltheriel was very nice to give away his party invitation for the winter ball in Winterspring. It would be a low-key, intimate affair, but a really fine one. And a nice excuse to get seriously dapper for a change. By the way, his hair is back to dark green, its natural color. He should wear it like that more often, for sure.
3. Sharpen, you worked hard on your winter ball outfit. It’s the most dressed up, or even dressed that you’ve ever been. Go on and show it off! Boy, you better work!!
4. Jiroki joins the battle arrives to the party! She always dresses so elegantly, and the woman herself is a breathtaking mix of tough, yet graceful. Sharpen’s heart was definitely racing when Jiroki arrived fashionably late and tried to surprise him. They got to rub elbows with some pretty sparkling guests. For one, Sharpen overheard a rumor that the Tirisfal Theater Troupe may be performing next month, from the lead man Atos himself! (Not confirmed yet, but we’ll see...) And Sharpen got to tell Gotosh that he was proud of him. (Well it was an emote, but it counts.)
5. The Black Bird Brewery appetizers, especially those drinks, were so good. Here they are enjoying some great drinks. Jiroki had something chocolatey with peppermint candy cane crumbs along the rim of her glass, called Driven Snow. Sharpen enjoyed the tropical Jingle Juice, with pineapple and some other really refreshing juices. Sharpen and Jiro went back to the bar more than once, and the servers were charming. The server highlight of the night was definitely Sharpen joking ‘That’s a good lookin’ menu, is it single?’ and then the server making it talk like a handpuppet, “I don’t know, fold me the other way and see!” Ho my goddess...
6. Sharpen escorts Jiro to the balcony, “Want to look at the beautiful snow for a while?” Then five minutes later, “Is it okay if I tricked you just now?” And he nods overhead, at the hanging sprig of mistletoe. “Why don’t you lay one on me!” He gets a peck on the cheek, but it was perfectly adorable.
7. Sharpen, “Jiroki? Back when we were in Stranglethorn, did you ever imagine we’d one day be here together?” Some things are far too beautiful to fully imagine, it’s true.
The holidays are just beginning, but Sharpen can say hand-over-heart, that he’s feeling very grateful and relieved to have such kind people around him. Happy Holidays!

I'm making this post to write to an extraordinary person @shamanofthewilds I've been wanting to get my feelings out for a while now, and tonight I finally will, I hope it is not odd or strange... I've wanted to tell you for a very long time... Thank you... Thank you for being a lovely person. Not only are you an amazing advocate for healthy and amazing orc rp and lore, for also not only for being so positive and informative on lgbt+, but above all else... for being kind person. For a while now I have been struggling with depression, so much so I nearly lost that fight... But good people like you remind me that the world isn't just doom and gloom. I keep the speech you made at the Laylines for Life event close... Tonight at the bonfire bash, the man I love dearly, my fiancee @mafford Whispered you on my behalf since I tend to get shy, and feel like I bother people. But the words you said... really meant a lot to me, so much so I ended up crying. What you do is what I've always wanted to do, and that is to be a voice of positivity and help those who need it. I look up to you, not as a celebrity, but someone who does genuine good in this game that has gotten so...dark... So... All in all... Thank you Gotosh... from the bottom of this half orc's heart.
This has been a wonderful night, and wonderful start of a new year on wow for me.
