Thank you Lintian, lovely screenshots and cheers for pulling more people over for the impromptu roleplay! It was really nice to dig into some roleplay on the patch day already.

Reverion, signed you up to the DM event, welcome!

Now that Bel’ameth is up, excited for tomorrow’s event!


Are you in a desperate need of a spoon? A kettle? Herbs for your back pain? A blanket? Maybe you’ll find it at the Bel’ameth Trade Night tomorrow at 8PM ST! We’ll be using the inn area that has nice interior and exterior spots to hang out at.

There’s 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. It’s 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. The goal here is for the elven community to help each other out rather than strive to make big profit.

If you’re out of ideas for items, you could take a look at the DnD Adventuring Gear page for inspiration!

Because of sharding, a raid group will be formed & filled on a first come, first served basis. Organized by Kaitalos (Acrona’s alt). Due to convenience, scale and prioritizing characters who will live in or frequent Amirdrassil, the event is for Alliance characters.



Also, the first part of the Two Faces to Match a Twinned Moon will begin on Tuesday! It’s a two session event chain DMed by Ryldor with a small adventure unfolding. This event has limited spots, and if you’ve signed up in advance and can’t make it, please let me know so the spot can be freed up for someone else. Sign-up list & open spot status

Have a great weekend everyone, looking forward to meeting many more of you soon! :deciduous_tree:

Half an hour to go! I’ll be online on Kaitalos 19:45 ST onwards for raid invites.

An early ping so that people have a bit of time to come up with items to bring along, to be exchanged at the event if they haven’t already!

I recommend adding the items visibly up for trading in the Currently, or refer to them listed in the TRP - this gives other players a reason to approach you if they see something of interest for their own character. See you soon!

Thank you everyone who came by! At a guess we had about 70 people coming and going during the evening, whether that was to trade or just to mingle. Was fantastic to see the place bustling with roleplayers! Kaitalos for one got his hands onto plenty of useful items! :shopping:

It was a fun event! People(including myself!) were abit slow to start up, but when you started the trade it quickly picked up!

I traded Imperial Silkweave from Pandaria for a bar of soap and some metal chopsticks from you! And then a book on the history of the Rooks Guard for a Mana Potion, only to end my evening with a trade of a Moon Pendant and Imperial Silk for Self-Drying Socks!

All in all, it was a fun way to make a market event! and 10 out of 10 would attend again, this time longer then I was able today!

70 people?!! Holy dark ones, that’s a lot!

I am glad to see so many gathered and having fun. It looks like it was a real blast. May it spark even more RP in the days to come. :smiley:

Great to hear! It’s fun trying out events with a slightly different approach than usual. While a lot of people came just to mingle than to trade items, the event served as a meeting point for generating roleplay all the same!

Fingers crossed! Not 70 people at once I’ll add, but we were pretty constantly 30+ people in the main raid as people left and others joined, and I counted there were lots of people who had their own guild raid going or were just luckily in the same shard!

While Kaitalos traded spoons, chopsticks, mugs with animal carvings and soap - in turn he got…

  • regular knife
  • pillow
  • giant fang
  • two bone carving knives
  • candles
  • skinning knife
  • spyglass
  • stamina potion
  • chestnuts
  • bolt of fine cloth
  • hone rod
  • seashell
  • waterskin

Kudos to everyone who came up with items to be exchanged with others!

Thank you Ryldor for Tuesday’s DM event, very immersive and great job keeping track of people’s actions! :heart:

We bulled a shipment and bullied spriggans. Caught wind of trouble brewing, with tensions rising between the diverse attendees…

While some mull over last night’s spriggan trouble and other findings, tonight a gathering in Bel’ameth invites arcane practitioners to bring resources for the new era of night elf mages…

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 Shen’dralar 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 for Alliance players, 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!

Date: Wednesday 24th January, 8pm Server Time
Location: Bel’ameth, the lodge near mage portals

No signing up in advance. Due to possible sharding, a raid group will be formed.

Seeing as this is a event right up my alley as a Highborne main, I will definitively be around tonight!

Thank you all who visited the ‘Setting Up School’ event! And enormous thanks to Lintian who helped catalog all the donations, couldn’t have done this without your help! We got sooo much stuff, stay tuned for the slides that will be shared in the near future! It was good to see people mingle in and around the building as well, hope the event helped make some connections!:books:

Also thanks Moridunum for the tea and muscle.

I could only catch some glimpses of the second part of ‘Two Faces to Match a Twinned Moon’ event, but here’s some screenshots from last night added to the same folder as the previous! Ty Morningtide for sending some as well!

Big thanks again Ryldor for hosting the DM events! It takes courage to DM a story, no matter how big or small, for a bunch of roleplayers you might’ve never interacted with before. It’s much appreciated that you took the time to do this for others! Cheers everyone who took part, it was interesting to follow how different opinions the involved characters had about what they encountered.



Tonight there’s opportunity to socialize whilst working with your hands:

A workshop session in a social setting where characters may work on hand-crafted ornaments, to be kept, gifted, or used in the Remembrance & Revival event the following week. Tools and some materials will be provided, such as stones, feathers, beads, dye materials and wood. There will be opportunity for companionship to gather your own crafting materials from nature.

Date: Saturday 27th January, 8pm Server Time
Location: Root-Bound Sanctuary

No signing up in advance. Due to sharding, a raid group will be formed. Hosted by: Morningtide

A warmly welcomed night of crafting and socializing with old and new faces alike. The “Crafting Connections” initiative was great, because such opportunities are to be treasured. Sometimes… people just need an excuse to gather and share cool stories with each other. And I am happy that’s exactly what I’ve been a part of tonight! :raised_hands:

Sincere thanks for organizing!

Agree Jaiare, it was wonderful to see so many new and old faces there! Very chill with plenty of conversations ongoing. Thank you Morningtide and Tiaryn for hosting the workshop!



Next we turn our gazes from the boughs to the underground.

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 Amirdrassil’s 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 it’s 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 druid’s den, illustrating with words how it will look.

Example: ‘With 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 druid’s slumber.’

Date: Sunday 28th January, 8pm Server Time
Location: Barrow Dens, starting outside

Huge thanks to Meladriss for hosting ‘Where the Druids Slumber’ event! And Nara’enil, Ialluen, Telariel, Tassaryl and Scythais for helping with the ceremony honoring the Wild Gods, it was really beautifully coordinated! :sparkling_heart: It was also very enjoyable watching characters looking for the perfect sleeping chamber in the dens and preparing them.

Screenshots from me and Morningtide, with captions of the ceremony:

Two more events to go as part of the series, see you next week!

Related to tomorrow’s event, here’s some material for IC gossip. Disclaimer: the writer holds zero accountability for the canon behind this larger-than-life figure.


Word spreads from Belanaar; Captain Lunarbay’s new cargo carrier is almost ready, and the ship’s naming ceremony is expected to happen in a couple of nights. The news is shared with headshakes, laughter, or awestruck ohhs and ahhs.

Lunarbay, huh?

A seasoned sailor you may or may not have heard about. To some simply Odyssei Lunarbay, to others THE Captain Lunarbay, “Black Shark of the Veiled Sea”.

An elf of renown among those who acknowledge the extraordinary - and often bizarre - tales spun about him, such as:

Some sailors quip that Lunarbay lost his right eye swashbuckling against a hundred Horde soldiers, winning his crew’s freedom on an enemy ship during the Fourth War. Clad in naught but his underwear. Armed with a blunt butter knife.

Once upon a time, you might’ve chanced to read faded poetry revolring around the epic saga of a seafaring kaldorei named Odyssei, about his ten-year journey home from Silithus to Feralas following the War of the Shifting Sands. Having angered Neptulon the Tidehunter, Odyssei faced tremendous perils from monsters of the deep to ungodly storms throwing the ship off course. Losing his crew in the tribulations, Odyssei was the only one to return alive.

He’s supposedly the saviour of a tragic love story between members of two feuding families once part of the Auberdine Village Council. Thanks to Lunarbay’s blessed cunning, Rommeoh and Julindel’s families united over a snail race on the beach. The race took so long to finish that by the end of it, the families had grown bored with their enmity.

According to some obscure sea shanty, Lunarbay fell in love with someone referred to as The Little Mermaiden; a mute lady who once saved him from drowning on the sea. Her true identity is a mystery to most narrators. Their budding romance was tarnished by a vile Sea Witch.

The most recent word has it he lost his previous ship Moonsail, and many of his crew, in a shipwreck disaster. Following the incident, it’s claimed he arrived at the Isle of the Watchers riding sea turtle, wearing a majestic seashell for a hat and a large pearl on a seaweed net slung across his chest.

Welcome to Lunarbay’s ship naming ceremony and the fishing competition on the docks tomorrow in Belanaar at 8pm ST, or just to mingle by the ocean! You can whisper Lunarbay or Moonhearth for a raid invite. Please note the event is for Alliance players.

Thank you all who joined the Seaside Sentiments event - at first I wondered if we’d have enough players for the ceremony & fishing competition, and then all of a sudden there were so many people!

In the ship naming ceremony, Lunarbay asked the attendees to come up with a name for the ship, and the suggestions included…

Tyrande’s Embrace
Moonsparrow
The Moonbeam
The Sinking Handmaiden
Nightleaf
The Butterknife
The Pearl of the Dreamchaser
Lunarbow
The White Pearl
The Starborne
A New Beginning
The Next Chapter
The Banshee’s Demise
Duskrider
Surging Tident
The Plump Seal
Tessa’s Applings

In the end Moonsparrow was chosen via people’s vote, congratulations Balturas Strongoak for the award-winning name proposal! :clap:

In fact, I was having a call with Ryldor the other night and he jokingly suggested letting people pick the new ship’s name, and I was like… That’s not a bad idea at all! :eyes:

And congrats Fyre’radell Featherbrush for winning the fishing competition! I was a tad worried if people were getting bored mid-way through and thus offered to skip a round, but people wanted to do all six rounds, you guys rock! :raised_hands:

Lastly, apologies to Division Twenty Three, I noticed your guild interested in taking part in the activities but as has been advertised here, Argent Archives and on the Amirdrassil Discord server, these events are aimed at Alliance players for the sake of scale, convenience and to avoid possible IC tensions distracting from the activities. Though my alt wasn’t receptive to the blood elves taking part, OOC no hard feelings and hope you still enjoyed roleplaying in Amirdrassil! :saluting_face:

Tonight!

Remembrance & Revival

With everything that has befallen the night elves, it’s likely everyone has lost someone close, long ago or more recently in the Burning of Teldrassil and the War of Thorns. There are moments to look back, and moments to push forward. Tonight is the final event of the New Home, New Hope series. It’s aimed at night elves who’ve suffered much, Alliance only and split into two parts:

Remembrance: Kaldorei are invited to hang up hand-crafted ornaments on a wisteria tree in Bel’ameth, in remembrance of someone they’ve lost long ago or recently.

:memo: People are welcome to say a few words about the person they’re remembering. To ensure the event proceeds at a nice pace, please prepare your item description emote, and the possible short speech, ahead of time!

:ghost: 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: There’s 1 wisp NPC referring to a character perished during the Cataclysm. With that info the wisps don’t have to be limited to elves perished during the Fourth War.

:menorah: After your character has hung an item in the wisteria, it’d 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 don’t have one!

After the remembrance, a procession takes the attendees to the Revival occasion on a sheltered grove outside Bel’ameth, hosted by Morningtide and Tiaryn. In this beautiful lantern ceremony, all attendants are inspired to nurture Amirdrassil as they obtain a seed for planting. Please bring a lantern off-hand item, preferably green, blue or white. :bulb:



A note on the events being Alliance only:

Such restrictions aren’t done out of malice, but to ensure the event runs smoothly for the chosen target audience with the time, atmosphere, activity mechanics and hosting capacity in mind. While IC is IC, please remember that Out of Character someone may spend a lot of time preparing an event. It’s one thing to stumble into a roleplay event by accident, and another to arrive knowing there may be tensions. Even if done with good intentions, it can be disruptive to the momentum of the ongoing activities, and put pressure on the host when they have to keep an eye out for more than they had planned for.

Thank you for your understanding!



Date: Friday 2nd February, 8pm Server Time
Location: Starting in Bel’ameth by the wisteria tree near the gazebo

No signing up in advance. Due to sharding a raid group will be formed & filled on a first come, first served basis.

I’ll be multiboxing Hidani and Acrona, you can whisper either for raid invite. Welcome!
