Amirdrassil, âCrown of Harmonyâ, will be a new night elf area on the Dragon Isles. Though some of us wish their shiny hub would be in Kalimdor, letâs try make the most of whatâs given, and live the big developments through our characterâs eyes. Amirdrassil is going to be a beautiful zone, with new tales to be weaved around it.
With the holiday buzz calming down and people showing much support for the interest check, itâs time to have some public roleplay initiatives for Amirdrassil! The events will be largely focused on Patch 10.2.5. when Amirdrassil receives more buildings and NPCs, with plenty of interesting roleplay locales.
Instead of a big two-day event, thereâll be smaller events hosted on different days, to give more roleplay opportunities in case people need to be pulled into a raid group due to sharding. For the sake of convenience and scale, these events will be for Alliance players, with the intent to help roleplayers connect as the night elves inhabit their new home.
A ceremony for setting small nature boats to travel a stream coursing through Amirdrassil, each leaf-sailed vessel carrying a message about oneâs most ardent hope for the kaldoreiâs new home. Before setting their boat on the waters, people are welcome to share their hope with the others.

Location: Riverbank north east from where Belâameth will be

Kaldorei crafters find themselves hard-pressed to produce enough goods for the rapidly growing number of settlers arriving at Amirdrassil. Some crafting materials and items are sorely needed sooner than later. With a shopping list in hand, a group of volunteers take a portal to the bustling Stormwind to buy supplies. What could go wrong?
A light-hearted event DMed by Acrona. The group may come to organically interact with other roleplayers in the city while going about their business.

Are you in a desperate need of a spoon? A kettle? Herbs for your back pain? A blanket? Maybe youâll find it at the trade night!
Thereâs no predesignated vendors; instead of a market where one purchases goods with coin, the idea behind the event is for people to primarily exchange items for items. Itâs meant to be the sort of an event where a character trades a backpack for a cooking pot et cetera, so please give your in-character inventory a think! What items do they own, what do they lack, and what are they willing to part with or make for the gathering?
Craftspeople can also take commissions for custom items to be made, an initiative for follow-up roleplay individuals can sort out themselves.
If youâre out of ideas for items, you could take a look at the DnD Adventuring Gear page for inspiration!

Mordent Evenshade suggests that with so many promising young students of the arcane gathering in Amirdrassil, they may need to establish a more permanent place of learning. In the nearby the lodge you can find book piles, Highborne Lorekeepers and a Shenâdralar sorcerer.
Inspired by these details, this one-off event is for donating study material and equipment to help school new night elf mages and lorekeepers in Amirdrassil. The items, which could be anything from spell books to enchanted puzzles, will be received and cataloged by Acrona and Lintian. The catalog will be shared after the event.
The event is aimed at characters with interest in arcane magic. People are encouraged to mingle with the other attendees; ultimately the gathering is an excuse to help make connections with other characters sharing something in common with your own!

An event aimed at druidic characters, though their trusted friends are also welcome to come along to spectate.
The event begins with a ceremony honoring the Wild Gods, after which the druids move to building their sleeping chambers in Amirdrassilâs Barrow Dens, aided by wisps capable of animating trees and expanding themselves into rough-hewn structures of living wood and stone. The already existing nooks in the Barrow Dens will be used to illustrate the relative position of the dens, but itâs stressed that these player-made chambers are headcanon similar to people using in-game buildings for different purposes (homes, guild quarters, shops, etc).
People will be given the opportunity to emote the construction of their den, illustrating with words how it will look.
Example: âWith the aid of the benevolent wisps, the nook in the wall deepens. Thick roots crawl from the cracks in the ceiling, curling into a glowing blossom that lights the den. Thick cave moss rushes to carpet the stone floor, providing a natural mattress for the druidâs slumber.â

With everything that has befallen the night elves, itâs likely everyone has lost someone close. There are moments to look back, and moments to push forward. The event is split into two parts:
Remembrance in Belâameth, organized by Acrona (as Priestess Hidani). On this occasion, people are invited to hang up hand-crafted ornaments on a wisteria tree, in remembrance of someone theyâve lost long ago or recently.
People are welcome to say a few words about the person theyâre remembering. After a week, the ornaments will be moved to the grove where the Revival ceremony is held.
People are welcome to say a few words about the person theyâre remembering. To ensure the event proceeds at a nice pace, please prepare your item description emote, and the possible short speech, ahead of time!
It would be lovely if some people summoned Wisp companions as the remembrance proceeds. The summoned wisps could represent the spirit of someone who the attendee knew, or an unknown wisp drawn over from the boughs like a curious onlooker. Regardless, the event is for honoring lost loved ones no matter when they passed on.
Update: Thereâs 1 wisp NPC referring to a character perished during the Cataclysm. With that info the wisps donât have to be limited to elves perished during the Fourth War.
After your character has hung an item in the wisteria, itâd be appreciated if you could help with placing a Leylight Brazier (toy) around the tree in a crescent formation. IC these are night elf braziers. Acrona/Hidani has some to trade if you donât have one!
After the remembrance, a procession takes the attendees to the next area:
Revival ceremony is held on a sheltered grove outside Belâameth, organized by Morningtide and Tiaryn!
In the theme of renewal, a beautiful ceremony will be held to inspire the attendees to nurture Amirdrassil as they obtain a seed for planting.
Please bring an off-hand lantern item, preferably green, blue or white . If you donât have one, donât worry, you can get one from Morningtide.
