Posters depicturing the “launching” of a shu’halo towards a net consisting of several odd-looking sindoreis are sticked about in most of the Horde’s cities. It seems it’s not a joke.

A lenghtful note follows:

Fellow people of the Horde, you are all invited for the 1st annual Taurenian Canon Extravaganza! that will be held at the Darkmoon Faire in the vicinity of Shattrah City this August 5th, thirty minutes after the sixth bell!
Verily, you will be entertained by our two Star Guests, Durkas Winterhoof and Utharren Theron, as they will both be launched in the air for the Horde’s communities! You will also be invited to donate* before our two brave souls face the limits of the skies; donations that will be given to people in need throughout the Horde lands.

But that’s not all!

We would also be very happy to see you stay awhile after the show! Drinks and snacks will be offered!

The AAMS: For a better life; and a better Lifestyle!

Dear citizens,

In order to show our continued respect and gratitude for our fellow citizens the dwarves and gnomes, the Concerned Citizens have decided to open the tavern next week in the Dwarven homeland.

You will find the tavern in the cozy backrooms of Anvilmar, come pull up a chair and sit yourself at the bar!

All dwarves and gnomes will receive their drinks for free during the evening.

The Concerned Citizens would like to stress everyone to take precautions when going through the coldridge pass. In spite of the work from the dwarves and gnomes defending the pass, it has seen an infestation from troggs. Make sure to have an armed escort with you. The concerned citizens will try and provide magical transport for our visitors in order to avoid this pass.

The tavern will open at 20h as always.

Faction: Horde
Venue: Hammerfall, Arathi Highlands
Contact: Margok

What is it?

It is a gathering of Horde RP’ers, to populate the Hammerfall and make it feel real for one night. There is no objective, except for some good Roleplay.

Where is it?

Hammerfall and the surrounding area, Arathi Highlands, Horde Territory, Eastern Kingdoms.

When is it?

Every Saturday, 19:00 Server time.

Who can attend?

• Do you have a Horde character on the Steamweedle Cartel?
• Do you roleplay?

If the answer is yes, and yes, you can attend.

If you are a non RPer, we ask you to respect our RP and not interfere.

Can Alliance Attend?

Ha! if you can get here in one piece, survive the guards, and don’t mind some aggro, than feel free. It will all add to the flavour… : )

What it isn’t! – and The Rules

• This is NOT a scripted, story-driven event.
• The only ’storyline’ is whatever you choose to bring with you.
• It is NOT an excuse to indulge in inter-guild rivalry, or aggression. By all means, discuss, debate, argue IC, but not so that it ruins the atmosphere, or detracts from others’ RP conversations.
• IC threats, abuse, shouts, heckles etc. toward other players due to their guild, faction, class etc. will be dealt with harshly!
• PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: absolutely NO DUELING, SPAMMING SPELLS, SPAMMING OF ANY OTHER KIND or behaviour designed to break immersion, grief, or otherwise cause harrassment.
• Pets are allowed in the town.
• Please remember that other players also need to use the facilities of Hammerfall. Please be considerate.
• Any griefers, lolboys, idiots etc. should not be encouraged, simply place them on your Ignore list, and report them.

To the heart of it

For one night of the week we want Hammerfall to resemble a real town, in a ‘real’ fantasy setting. Therefore it should be possible for a traveller to visit the island, and see a variety of people, all acting in character. Drinking in the Inn, swapping storys, training with swords etc. etc etc.

It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you RP it! Although the Inn is the heart of our ‘event’, it is by no means limited to it. It is equally viable for you to walk around as a travelling merchant selling fish, pose as a master swordsman and give lessons on sparring etc. simply sit morosely, staring out over the plains with a grim tale of death of the waves to tell to all who are interested, or come in search of a future husband! The possibilities are only limited to your own imagination.

Or just drop by the inn for a drink and a chat.

*Terrafros stands on top of a box in Trade District, Stormwind, raising the attention of all people passing by, before clearing his throat and talking loudly *

Well met, people of Azeroth!

The end of the Midsummer Fire Festival is drawing near, bringing an end to two weeks of fire fun. But we’d be damned if we’d ‘just’ let it end! For this reason, lady Rosane of the Holy Templars shall be hosting a Midsummer Fire Festival Feast, in celebration to the end of Midsummer Fire Festival.

The location for this will be the Altar of Storms in the Burning Steppes, next to Blackrock Mountain. A strange location for a feast? Allow me to explain.

Ragnaros, the fire lord, has been found preparing his minions to head for the Altar of Storms, strangely enough. After several investigations, by scouting groups of the Holy Templars, we have discovered his true intent.

During the Second and Third war, the orcs constructed these huge structures, with as prime purpose channeling their power into ogres, and thus ogre-magi were born. At the end of the Third war, many have invested time into destroying these Altars, so greatly that currently only two remain that we currently know of.

We have discovered that Ragnaros, seeks to channel power into his minions, instead of demonic energy, infusing them with more energy from the elemental plane. His plan is to send a group of flamewalkers there to have them retool the Altar of Storms for Ragnaros’s purposes. His plan may not come to succeed! And thus, we decided to guard the Altar of Storms, especially during the Midsummer Fire Festival, where the sun is at it’s highest and the temperature at it’s hottest.

However, in doing so, we recognized we would probably miss the end of the festival, and be stuck, in basically what is nowhere, guarding.

And thus lady Rosane came with the idea to hold a Midsummer Fire Festival Feast at the location itself, to keep the spirits of our soldiers up. Immediately, someone asked the question if we would want to celebrate with ourselves only, or share it with all who roam this world. We chose the latter, and that is why I stand here today, as I, on behalf of the Holy Templars, invite all in Azeroth to come, come and guard, come and celebrate!

The Midsummer Fire Festival Feast shall be host to several activities, such as flamewalking(an activity where you must cross the path whilst fire magi will attempt to make it hard as possible for you to pass, by summoning fire on your path!), Juggling shows, shown by trained torch jugglers, also allowing the common man to come forward and show their juggling skills! And of course, a professional catering crew AND a souvenir shop are ready to fill your hunger and shopping needs!

This, and more activities, will all take place on Saturday, the 4th of July, at the Altar of Storms in the Burning Steppes, west of Blackrock Mountain. For those who do not feel strong enough to venture in the lands by themselves, an escort will bring those who wish to safely to the Altar of Storms.

We shall end the night by setting down cannons of firework at the Altar, and then firing these off to light the skies, and at the same time destroy the altar, in that it may never be used for evil purposes again!

In case the fireworks will not be enough to destroy the altar, demolitionists are prepared to lay the final explosives.

As said before, we invite all in Azeroth to come and join us in a night of fun, to properly end the Midsummer Fire Festival! And thus, I hope to see you all there. Farewell!

*Terrafros steps off the box and walks away, accompanied by three of the Holy Templars*

As the seasons changed, fall came, and said its goodbyes, and winter took its place, Padwin longed for the warm summers of Mulgore, and the fun she had with her friends. Though this winter was far from boring, nothing could beat the warmth of the sun shining down on you while you enjoyed life. She thought of the celebration on the beach that her long time goblin friend, Foster, sponsored.

An idea crawled slowly into her head, and she smiled. Maybe Foster would be interested in doing it again…

THE STORMWIND POST-SPECIAL BREAKING-NEWS ISSUE

GOLD-RUSH FEVER HITS TANARIS!

This very morning, word has reached us at the Stormwind Post of excitable activity in the once desolate deserts of Tanaris, far across the sea in Kalimdor. Hundreds have begun flocking to the dusty, dune-filled land, buying as many shovels and picks as they can carry. The reason? Gold!

In the past month, gold has begun to appear all over the deserts of Tanaris. We interviewed Kirk Stonefield, an Elwynn resident who has recently returned from there. He told us: ‘There’s gold everywhere! Sprouting up from the very sand and rocks, like some sort’a magical fruit! Me and the others couldn’t believe our eyes! We managed to fill several crates full o’ the stuff before running out of storage space and heading back to the Eastern Kingdoms. I’m goin’ back out there tomorrow to snap up the rest!’

But since the discovery of the vast gold reserves, many others have had the same idea as Kirk. Sentient species from all over Azeroth have started travelling to Tanaris in order to make their fortune, quickly forgetting their responsibilities at home: the Stormwind Post has heard reports of farmers, miners and even soldiers packing up and buying boat tickets to Tanaris.

But why the sudden arrival of such vast quantities of gold? We spoke to a Representative of the Gnomish Council of Science, and local-Watchman, Cedric P. Tinkerton. ‘Well,’ the gnome told us, ‘the sudden increase in gold-discovery could be due to a number of reasons. However, most likely is that one of the region’s earthquakes could have caused the gold ore, which was long buried beneath the sand, to move upwards and appear at the surface. Or maybe some sort of asteroid crashed and the gold came from that…anyway, this is all besides the point. People are getting rich out there in Tanaris, and I’m joining the bandwagon before all the gold is claimed! Now out of my way, I need to buy a bigger suitcase!’

With the arrival of so many hopeful gold-hunters in Tanaris, there has also been an increase in the area’s economy. The once desolate port of Steamwheedle is now a thriving hub of trade and commerce, and several merchants and tavern-keeps have decided to set up shop in order to profit from the influx of gold-hunters. Problems have however begun to arise in these quickly growing ‘gold-towns’: as they are far from the jurisdiction of the Alliance, these towns are technically lawless and filled with corruption. The Stormwind Post has heard reports of a number of drunken brawls, gun-fights, gambling and even harlotry in Steamwheedle Port alone. To counteract this, several Priests of the Holy Light have been dispatched to Steamwheedle Port in order to try and bring morality and peace back to the region. We have also been told that the Goblin Trade Cartels have begun to employ some travellers as rudimentary law-enforcers, paid to keep the peace in these various ‘Gold-Towns’.

Will the boom of gold in Tanaris lead to riches and prosperity for those who go seek it, or will it breed nothing but destruction and greed? The Stormwind Post suggests you go find out for yourself! Good luck readers!
