Schedule
Monday 26th May: Story Night 
Many night elves have seen much in their life, and appreciate the art of weaving the fabric of history and imagination through stories. Whether it’s recounting heroic feats of the past, recalling mysterious encounters with spirits and shadows, or spinning whimsical tales bright with laughter!
In the same vein as the previous Ashenvale Story Nights, the narratives may draw inspiration from both recent and historical events, guild happenings, or your character’s individual escapades - no matter whether they’re true or fiction. There’s no requirement to sign up in advance.
If you’d like to share something, please prepare the story ahead of time, and split it for presenting at a comfortable pace In Character. In order to give multiple people a chance to share their piece, a single story should take no longer than 20 minutes to present, and may be just a few minutes short as well.
The story may also be told in the form of song or poem! Players are welcome to come listen without obligation to share a tale of their own. The Listener AddOn may be helpful to keep track of the stories. The Story Teller AddOn might make it more convenient to share a longer story.
Wednesday 28th May: Bonk-Alore Games 
Played at the Alor’el Spring Festival, the Bonk-Alore sport makes a comeback! Kaitalos, whom some might recall from the Lunar Festival in Moonglade, will instruct the game for the participants. Will the energy be on par with the Moonball tournament?
Come play or spectate, the choice is yours! People will be given time to familiarize themselves with the weapons before the players are split into two opposing teams.
Friday 30th May: Guided Dances 
Kaitalos has convinced the travelsome Acrona and druid Bratus to join hands in hosting dances once again. Similar to the previous Kaldorei Dance Nights, they’ll guide the participants through three dances step by step. The dances require a dance partner, but worry not if you lack one upon arrival - the hosts will try match as many pairs as they can!
Please bring a transmog fan item with you! It will be used for one of the dances. Some players were inspired to visualize their fan designs for a previous dance event, and you’re more than welcome to do so again!
Update: Also if you were able to have the Convergent Prism toy, that’d be great!
Background music will be played via Watch2Gether website to help set the mood - link to the music room
While people are welcome to create their own roleplay initiatives on the off-days, please be mindful of the impact they may have on the in-character atmosphere for the week. For example, while some DMed hunts would be perfectly fine, a sudden swarm of demons lurking in the woods or faction skirmishes might distract from the leisure ambience intended for the above events. When in doubt, please reach out to the host so we can talk about your idea. Thank you!
