That sounds about right for the Kaldorei said standards.

Pictures from yesterdayâs event, along with descriptions for those who missed the event or parts of it! The raid group filled up super quick and we couldnât regrettably fit everyone in, fortunately a number of people still ended up on the same shard despite it.
Thank you everyone who came, and huge kudos to Keeper Tiaryn and Warden Morningtide for co-hosting with me!
Thanks also Thalyndrae for helping craft Braziers and for offering Wisp pets for people who didnât have one, for the Remembrance ceremony.
Now with the New Home, New Hope event series concluded, will work on some kind of a post compiling all the included events. Genuinely thank you all who helped create such a bustling month of roleplay, and sincerely hope these events helped you connect with other roleplayers, and create the feel of there being an in-character community in Amirdrassil.

Sincere thank you everyone who helped with, and participated the New Home, New Hope event series!
Hereâs a recap where people can see what happened if they missed some of the events - or if theyâd just like to reminisce what transpired.
Genuinely hope the events helped you find roleplay in Amirdrassil, make new contacts, and despite sharding feel like being part of an active in-character community. Something like this couldnât happen without everyoneâs combined efforts; immense thank you all for such a bustling and immersive month of roleplay in Amirdrassil.
Drifting Dreams
There was 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 were welcome to share their hope for the future with everyone.
Organized by: Acrona (as Hidani)
Thank you Ryldor and Morningtide for helping with boat visuals.
Priestess Hidaniâs speech:
"My dear kin and friends. Itâs good to see so many of you in Amirdrassil, no matter whether that is to visit or to stay.
I have lived for a long time. Many of us have. And we havenât only lived - weâve survived. The first and second Sundering of the world. The first and second invasion of the Burning Legion. The War of the Satyr, and the War of the Shifting Sands. The Third War followed by the Fourth.
War after war after war. Yet here we are, somehow.
While Kalimdor remains close to our heart, under Amirdrassilâs fresh bloom, our people have a safe haven for a new beginning if they so choose. New settlers arrive night and day, and everyoneâs help is welcome to make this place feel home.
Tonight, weâve gathered to share our hopes for our new shelter. On the leaf bed before me, there are small nature boats, pieces of bark, parchment, and charcoal pens.
A crude writing tool, some would say. However, our people have more than once risen from ashes of the past, and to symbolize this, it felt apt we would write our wishes in its color.
Mark my words, sisters and brothers; we wonât only survive - we will thrive."

Stocking Up In Stormwind
Kaldorei crafters found themselves hard-pressed to produce enough goods for the rapidly growing number of settlers arriving at Amirdrassil. Some crafting materials and items were sorely needed sooner than later. With a shopping list in hand, a group of volunteers take a portal to the bustling Stormwind to purchase supplies. What could go wrong?
You entered the world of iridescent odours, and some of you turned into glittering disco balls. At least the supplies were on the house!
Got stuck in a traffic jam and almost got stolen from by street urchins in the crowd.
Felt the fury of local fashionistas.
While you perhaps didnât save an old shoemakerâs crickety business, you saved a number of solesâŚ
Perhaps you ruined a proposal, and maybe postponed a happy marriage, but itâs all for a noble cause!
Organized by: Acrona
Thank you Ryldor for helping NPC during the event.

Belâameth Trade Night
Instead of a traditional market with predesignated vendors and goods bought with coin, people to came to exchange items for items. There was hustle and bustle around the inn as people sought much needed everyday items, some more than once coming in possession of items they hadnât anticipated to come across.
Organized by: Acrona (as Kaitalos)

Two Faces to Match a Twinned Moon
Supplies have gone missing from the Root-Bound Sanctuary to the south of Belâameth, with requests going out to help deliver replacement shipments.
After some investigation at the Root-Bound Sanctuary, the group discovered spriggans to be behind behind the missing supplies. But there was more to the storyâŚ
Chasing down their findings, the group found three satyr on one of the neighbouring islands. Death to their enemy visited several lips, but the situation turned out to be more than black and white.

Setting Up School
With many promising young students of the arcane gathering in Amirdrassil, an event was held where people could donate study material and equipment to help school new night elf mages and lorekeepers in Amirdrassil. The contributions included books, research documents, enchanted puzzles, mage artifacts and more.
Item donation catalog
Anyone visiting the lodge may study the listed items. Itâs requested the items remain in the building to prevent them going missing.
Organized by: Acrona
Thank you Lintian for co-hosting, helping catalog the donations!

Crafting Connections
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 were provided, such as stones, feathers, beads, dye materials and wood. There was opportunity for companionship to gather oneâs own crafting materials from nature.
Organized by: Warden Morningtide
Thank you Tiaryn for co-hosting the event!

Where the Druids Slumber
With so many druids frequenting Amirdrassil, the Barrow Dens needed many sleeping chambers where they could move to the Dream safe and protected. Before heading into the dens to help create more of these chambers, there was a ceremony in honor of the Wild Gods.
Druid Meladriss addressed the gathering, âI welcome you all today, for not only the druids of the Kaldorei to find their place within the new Dens of Amirdrassil, but also to honor the Wild Gods who fought valiantly beside us to make certain the World tree blossoms into Azeroth. Without their guidance, their protection and the fact they once again put their lives on the line for us, Amirdrassil might not have been there. For that reason, I hope we can give each of them the respect and attention they deserve.â
Organized by: Meladriss
Thank you Naraâenil, Ialluen, Telariel, Tassaryl and Scythais for helping with the ceremony!

Remembrance & Revival
Organized by Morningtide, Tiaryn, Acrona
Thank you Thalyndrae for helping craft braziers and offer wisps for the event.
Part 1: Remembrance
Night elves and some of their close friends gathered in Belâameth to honor their lost loved ones. Priestess Hidani Stardew opened the Remembrance ceremony:
"Kin and close friends, thank you for joining us in honoring those weâve lost but not forgotten.
Friends and family. Mentors and students. Sisters and brothers in arms. Many people walk in and out of our life, but fewer leave footprints in our heart.
Those whom we trusted, loved, and laughed with. Whom we shared the joys and burdens of life with.
Tonight we decorate this tree with memories of the kaldorei dear to us. While losing someone can be like losing a limb; let their lives be recalled and celebrated with love, honesty and gratitude.
I see many of you holding onto ornaments that convey something about the person it is for. Something they liked, or represented. Or something they remind you of.
When it is your turn to hang your ornament on the tree, youâre welcome to share a few words about the person youâre remembering.
You may feel you didnât get as much time with the ones you love as you think youâre owed. How is it possible now to say everything you want to about a personâs whole life story in a few, brief words?
Perhaps you canât. Perhaps words canât express how much they meant to you. The distance between what we think and what we want to say may be unbridgeable.
But trust this; theyâll know, and theyâll see your heart of hearts. Even if you said nothing at all.
Thank you for listening. Now, I kindly ask those of you who wish to hang a remembrance ornament in the tree, to form a queue in front of me.
Once you are done, or if youâre here just to spectate, please help light the braziers surrounding the tree in a crescent formation, in honor of the occasion."
Part 2: Revival
Keeper Tiaryn and Warden Morningtide took charge of the second ceremony, leading people to a secluded and serene grove outside Belâameth.
Morningtide explained the ceremony:
"One by one, or perhaps two by two, we will walk into the spiral. This represents a journey toward the centre of your own spirit. As you follow the spiralâs winding path, gaze inward into your soul.
What do you wish to carry into the future? What are you planting into the new world?
In the centre, pluck a luminous seed from the Vigilâs Torch plant.
On your way out through the spiral, you carry your hopes along another journey.
We have come this far. Now let us not slow down, or rest on our laurels, but courageously follow the path of destiny set out for us.
As all seeds grow from one plant⌠our future comes from one will. The will of the kaldorei, the favoured Children of the Stars."
Part 3: Grove of Remembrance
The Revival ceremony was concluded with a ritual led by Tiaryn to consecrate the secluded grove as a place of remembrance, pleading to Aessina, Cenarius, the Dreamer and Elune for their blessings.
"My dear brothers and sisters, gathered here in the light of the stars. Now that you have gathered your seeds, and started one the path to renewal, I bid you join me down by the waters, so that we may properly establish this wondrous grove as a Grove of Remembrance.
Thus, we dedicate it not only to those we have lost over the years, but also, through the ritual of the Vigilâs Torch, to the friends and family members we have won. To their everlasting memory, one and all.
Most importantly, we consecrate this grove in remembrance of all that the Children of the Stars have been, are, and yet can become."

Until next time!

Ever since catching wind from the local watchers about cultists terrorising the new home of the kaldorei, fledgling adventurer and massive nuisance Scyllis Nightgloom has pestered the Sentinels and Watchers of the Arlithrien Lodge. While she seems to have been banned by one of them from entering the lodge itself, that doesnât stop her from asking whoever exits it over and over what she could do to help with the matter. Just give her a quest, damn it! Rumour has it she set up her tent not far from the training grounds to maximise up-time.
Hope itâs okay to post rumours in here⌠thanks for the cool random RP yesterday

So far the night elf community seems to have really put in the legwork to make Amirdrassil a shining beacon of hope for Kaldorei rp.I have been suitably impressed by the sheer amount of dedication people have shown.
