Do you want to brush up on your combat technique? Maybe you and a friend have a friendly rivalry going that you need to settle once and for all? Or perhaps you just want to whack someone with a staff?

Tonight it’s time for sparring! Anyone who wishes to is welcome to come and participate. We start at 20:00!

Though there were no announced events tonight, the town appeared lively with roleplay.

I also now have a new favourite in town. Rooting for Oakenleaf!

It is a delight to be able to write that Ashenvale feels more alive than it has done in a long time. There is plenty of RP to be had, plenty of people to meet and in the short time span since this little initiative began I feel like I have seen both old and new faces having made their way to Kalimdor and Astranaar. I cannot stress this enough, it is utterly delightful to be on the organiser side of things and see this happen! <3

That being said, time to add one more event to the list!

What? - A blessing for bow and glaive!
When? - Sunday the 11:th, 20:00
Where? - Gather in Astranaar by the font and then we will move from there together.
By whom? - Ialluen

On Sunday, we will be going to a moonwell in Ashenvale for the sake of bestowing simpler blessings upon the blades, bows, glaives, daggers and more to those who wish to see their weapon touched by the radiance of the Moon Goddess! It will be a casual thing - come one come all! If you have another trinket that might do well with a blessing, that is of course welcome too.

An additional call out for this event!
If you play a priestess of Elune and feel like you wish to come along, feel free to do so and aid in bestowing blessings by the well! The blessings are meant to be of a rather simple and day-to-day nature, so rather than one grand organised ceremony, I though it would be nice to give those of the Sisterhood that might come along the opportunity to conduct such blessings in their way.

This is by no means a strictly organised thing, but merely an opportunity to bring together those of the Sisterhood that wish to aid their kin together with those seeking the blessings of Elune. :crescent_moon:

See you then! ^^

The new event has been added to the calendar! \o/

Tonight everyone is welcome to visit the Astranaar inn for a bar night hosted by Aariam and Kathene! Rumour has it that there will be a quiz happening as well, so sharpen your wit and dust off all the unnecessary knowledge you may possess and come along! :beers:

Tonight the Astranaar Inn will be host to a bar night indeed! Come along for a night of relaxation and socialising, try the special menu prepared by your bartender for the night, Aariam Nightborne, and find a partner or two to test your knowledge of Ashenvale and beyond in the Lorekeeper’s Challenge! We hope to see you there!

It was a lot of fun to spend some time in Astraanar the last few days.
Kudos to the organisers and everyone who showed up to RP there, we got to meet some interesting and fun people.

Sadly we’ve had to move on for other events, but hope to run into everyone in other places again soon!

As the flexes Quiz winner… I would like to honestly say the events that have been ran have been great! It’s really nice to see so many Nelf and other RP’ers about Ashenvale. It’s really breathed a breath of fresh air into the Ashenvale scene!

Thanks alot to everyone who worked on this, and to anyone who showed up and took part! :slight_smile:

The evening brings dark clouds over the canopy of Ashenvale, and a heavy, ceaseless rain that soaks through clothing and chills to the bone. A gloomy night to be certain, and one best spent indoors near the warmth of a fire. Yet not all are so lucky…

Off the eastern coast, roiling waves crash against the hull of a struggling trading vessel, the voices of its crew quickly drowned out by the storm. Tossed towards the ancient ruins that jut from the shallows, within the vessel’s hold the cargo spills - and unseen by all, a liquid shadow begins to spill from the cracks in its split casket.

The troubles of this ship and her crew have only just begun…

Tonight I will be hosting an event on my mage Zelvarane as we set out to the stormy strand to save a stricken ship from a spooky situation! :ghost:

Please keep in mind there may be a limit on the number of participants to keep the experience good for everyone! I hope we will see some of you there!

Although I haven’t roleplayed in the Night Elf scene for a very long time, it’s been thoroughly enjoyable to attend the activities and events hosted so far. Big kudos to the organizers.

I hope Ashenvale and Astranaar remain full of life for many more weeks and months ahead! Perhaps in the future this event structure could be moved to Feralas? Or perhaps Winterspring during the holiday season? :christmas_tree: :snowflake:

Happy to hear you’re having a great time with the events so far! There’s more to come, for sure. ^^

If someone decided to host a similar type of event structure in Feralas or Winterspring at some point, that’d be awesome. We’d be happy to attend it! :smiling_face:

It is an unusually clear and crisp night in Ashenvale - a night spared from the cold winds of a fast approaching autumn. The waters of the lake around the village lies all still. Still enough that it could almost be mistaken for a mirror. A bright moon rises, and as night falls more and more stars can be seen in the dark skies above. A beautiful evening for a ceremony.

Tonight we will be hosting a small ceremony starting by the font in Astranaar! Those who wish to attend are more than welcome! We start at 20:00 as usual :crescent_moon:

Oh - it might be worth saying that inky black potions could be a good item for the night ^^

Right, I have to cite my priestess - merciful heavens above. I certainly did not expect that kind of turnout, and I am immensly happy to see so much people turn up for such a minor ceremony. A thousand times thank you - It was so very nice to have such a crowd present!

We are a little more than halfway through Ashenvale Autumn, and it has been an absolute joy to see the place come to life! Thank you so much to everyone that has taken part so far! <3

All the events I attended so far were simply awesome! Especially the ceremony tonight, I had a blast. Something peaceful and spiritual, nothing too big or fancy… almost in Pandaren spirit.
