Situation
Our beloved Exodar and Azuremyst isle has been abandoned for serveral years and in-game, these places remain as a recent-rough-landing spot with crash-sites all over the Azuremyst and Bloodmyst isle. Unfortunately, it is unknown when and if these areas will be updated to represent a more decent, recovered, developed and improved infrastructure of the Draenei at these isles. And with this, an alternative option comes in and it solves all our perception of how a today Draenei village or an outpost should look like.
In addition to that, it is sad to witness that a lot of Draenei RP nowadays mostly in Stormwind or other areas and only numbers of our kin RP at the Draenei lands. And now, the solution!
Solution
ShaâAree! Village of ShaâAree. Whatâs that? Allow me to enlighten you:
ShaâAree is one of the villages, that has been built and developed over the time since the initial rough landing upon Azeroth. Buildings were built, fields were grown, technology has been improving and most importantly, our culture has carried on. ShaâAree is merely one of the villages that is located East-North-East from Exodar and on a relative distance. Village has been developing and improving over the years and hence the land around it has been worked upon to resemble as much as possible the all known to Draenei Draenor environment. Karabor and its surroundings to be more precise.
But how can ShaâAree exist? Why ShaâAree and not Azure Watch for example? - These are good questions and I have good answers for them. First of all, why ShaâAree? We thought that using a custom name for the village will allow us to place this village on the isles anywhere we want. And we want to be as far away as possible from the Exodar. First, it will lore-wise allow us to explain that mounting up and riding from ShaâAree to Exodar and back would take a relatively significant amount of time. Second, using Azure Watch or other settlements from Azuremyst isle would contradict with the actual places + they are too close to the Exodar itself. Finally, World of Azeroth and other places, are far larger than they are represented in-game.
In practice
Elodor and itâs outskirts is a perfect place to represent a todayâs village on Azuremyst isle. It has everything we all need. Hospital, training grounds, Jedâhin or Sparring areas, Inn, School and more! Draenorâs Shadowmoon location also has a lot of interesting spots which can be used as places that are on Azuremyst isle, developed as the time passed by.
I would like to encourage and invite RPers to visit this place. It is a perfect opportunity to dive into Draenei Culture filled environment. For this purpose, a discord channel will be formed. There you can find a lot of handy information. Such as methods on how to get into this village if you are below level 90. A layout map to help navigate RPers through the village. Event list to encourage and partake in the events of the village and more.

Final notes
It is about time we bring back our Draenei lands and justify their existance lore-wise on Azeroth. It is about time we bring a solid and unique Draenei experience for our RP community. I hope that with this, people will be encouraged to not only come over but also bring RP content. As anyone is more than welcome to announce and host their events there.
Previous thread has been locked down due to us so silly missing time-window between 30 days of reply. Nonetheless, we shall avoid such in future!
Below these lines, there is a new tab - Calendar. There, on a regular bases, events upheld in ShaâAree will be posted with time and short description, so those who are not yet on discord, may still be aware of what is going where and when to join.
