# 🕯️ The Shadow’s Sermon — Concerning the Light

:candle: The Shadow’s Sermon — Concerning the Light

:spiral_calendar: Date: July 24
:clock8: Time: 20:00 Server Time
:round_pushpin: Location: To Be Announced (in-character, closer to the date)


“ I was taught that the Shadow was only a prelude to the Light… but it was in the Shadow that I finally saw clearly. ”

On the 24th of July, as twilight falls across the Eastern Kingdoms, the Forgotten Shadows will gather once more for an evening of reflection, memory, and reckoning.

This sermon does not seek to preach nor convert. It seeks only to understand:
What did the Light give us? What did it take? And what still stirs in its silent places?

We will meet in a place where the Light once dwelled—now faded, fractured, or forsaken. The location will be revealed closer to the date, both IC and OOC.

The Shadow’s Sermon is a spiritual and philosophical gathering hosted by The Forgotten Shadows, open to all characters and factions.
Whether your character follows the Light, walks in Shadow, or struggles somewhere in between—you are welcome here.

These gatherings offer a moment of solemn RP, reflection, character development, and community across faction lines.
They are non-combative, open to all, and designed for immersive spiritual storytelling.

:candle: 200 Days of the Forgotten Shadows :candle:

A sanctum of the shadows, risen from the ashes of Lordaeron.

Blessed day to all who wander in twilight.

Today, we mark 200 days since the birth of our community — a gathering of shadowbound souls, undead and living alike, who chose to remember, rebuild, and rise.

What began as a flickering idea has become something enduring:

• Sermons whispered by lanternlight in forgotten ruins
• Processions beneath dead trees and broken skies
• Bonds forged in shadow, in memory, in understanding
• Grief, stories, and laughter — all shared in the dark

We began with a simple hope: to build a haven for the Forsaken, for the mournful, for the seekers and the lost — for anyone who walks between Light and Shadow.
Now, we are a community. A family of dusk-dwellers bound by purpose, presence, and the echoes of Lordaeron.

To those who joined us. Who spoke. Who listened. Who dared to believe that even in undeath, we are not alone — thank you.

May the next 200 nights be just as bold, bizarre, and beautiful.
Praise the Shadow. Praise the truth beneath the skin of the world.

If this speaks to you, follow us in the dark:
