[Druid RP] Weald of Seradane 🌲

Argent Dawn
1

Welcome, traveller…

If you’ve ever wished for a quiet grove far from the clamor of war — a place of soft winds, old trees, and even older druids — then perhaps the Weald of Seradane is calling you home.

High in the Hinterlands, where the moss overtakes stone and the trees hum with memory, lies Seradane: an ancient weald now reawakened. Once forgotten, it now serves as a Cenarion hermitage for druids and others who seek peace, healing, and purpose. You won’t find banners or battle cries here. Just birdsong, tea by the fire, and the chance to grow — slowly, gently, and with others beside you.

:evergreen_tree: About the Weald :evergreen_tree:

The Weald of Seradane is a neutral, druid-focused (though not exclusive) RP guild rooted in themes of growth, community, and reflection. It serves both as an in-character location — a small Cenarion outpost — and as a guild and RP hub for those looking for slower-paced, immersive, character-driven storytelling.

Whether you’re an ancient druid returning from long slumber, a young warden in training, or a weary traveller needing rest, there’s a place for you here.

:deciduous_tree: What We Offer (IC) :deciduous_tree:

  • A Hermitage – A sacred place for druids to rest, reflect, and learn
  • A Mission – A Cenarion outpost with work to do: healing the land, restoring balance
  • A Refuge – A welcome to any who seek peace: druids, priestesses, sentinels, civilians
  • A Community – A home shaped by kindness, ceremony, and shared meals

:mag: Who We Are (OOC) :mag:

  • Casual & Conflict-Free – Events are gentle, story-rich, and character-focused. We value RP that is meaningful, not stressful.
  • Neutral & Inclusive – Cenarion ground is open to all. We welcome players from both factions, all races, and all RP backgrounds.
  • Supportive & Slow-Paced – Real life comes first. There’s no activity requirement, just a shared vision and respect.

:herb: Guild Structure :herb:

We follow a branching path system — you’re welcome to join whichever calls to you most:

  • :evergreen_tree: The Weald Wardens – Guardians of Seradane and the wilds beyond
    (Ranks: Sapling → Watcher → Warden → Keeper of the Wild)
  • :scroll: The Stone Circle – Lorekeepers, healers, and Teachers
    (Ranks: Sapling → Instructor→ Lorekeeper → Keeper of Stones)
  • :tent: The Hearthbound – Keepers of daily life, friends of the grove
    (Ranks: Sapling → Resident → Weadling → Keeper of the Hearth)

All new members begin as Saplings and grow at their own pace. Advancement is narrative, not mechanical.

:world_map: Our Activities :world_map:

We run 3 –4 events per month, open to both guild members and friends of the Weald, with every Wednesday being “Weald Wednesdays” - a regular casual social for guildies, community members and friends! Some other RP you can expect at the Weald:

  • :herb: Ceremonies – Seasonal rites, initiations, ancestor vigils
  • :mushroom: Lessons – Druidic teachings, shapeshifting, lore, poetry walks
  • :broom: Restoration – Patrols, pilgrimages, healing wild places
  • :fire: Community – Shared meals, story circles, Nettle tea

You’ll also find quiet moments of slice-of-life RP around the grove on most evenings. If you’re interested in hosting events as part of our community get in touch!

:earth_africa: Where We RP :earth_africa:

The Weald is based in Seradane in the Hinterlands. From there, we branch out to the Wetlands, Arathi Highlands, Plaguelands, and beyond.

We’re happy to collaborate with nearby guilds and characters IC — and to offer a home base for characters who want a “return point” between adventures.

:seedling: How to Join :seedling:

We welcome:

  • Druids of all races
  • Non-druids with a role to play in Seradane: Sentinels, priestesses, herbalists, artists, craftsfolk, civilians
  • Travellers and wanderers seeking a quiet RP space or new narrative anchor

To join you need only come to Seradane and hang out, and to join and speak with The First Keeper and take the Oath of the Weald:

May I be a hearth in Spring,
Offering warmth to the newly arrived.

May I be a stone in Summer,
A shrine from which others learn.

May I be a warden in Autumn,
Guiding others through the fading light.

May I be all three in Winter:
That others may find safety, wisdom, and their way.

This is my vow, as one who walks the Weald:
To serve where I am needed. One Weald, Many Trees.

The Weald of Seradane will be hosting its first introductory event for young druids and those seeking further tuition!

Date: 7th May
Time: 20:00 (server time)
Location: Starting - Stormrage Barrow Dens, then to The Hinterlands via The Dreamy
AA Link: https://www.argentarchives.org/node/278710

IC:
Several teachers across Moonglade and the wider Cenarion Circle begin sharing word that an old Druid hailing from ancient sect of the Druids of the Branch is starting a hermitage for young Druids at the start of thier adventures in the forests around Seradane.

Described as “The Weald of Seradane”, it’ll be an opportunity for druids to learn both how to commune with the Flora of the forest and the healing arts, but also of ancient and obsecure esoteric rituals of the ancient Druids of the Forest.

The first lesson is said to focus on offerings that can be left for spirits of the Forest.

Young Druids already stationed in Moonglade are being directed to meet K’var at the Stormrage Barrow Dens before venturing to The Hinterlands via The Dreamway.

OOC
NOTE: You will need to be able to travel through The Dreamway on your druid if you plan to start in Moonglade. Alternatively you can begin at Seradane.

This event marks the introduction of The Weald of Seradane, a RP community based at Seradane in the Hinterlands offering RP opportunities for Druids at the dawn of their adventure, and those looking to further their knowledge.

We’ll start with introductions before moving to Seradane via The Dreamway where we’ll learn out first lesson and take part in our first ceramony.

Future events will regularly take place at Serdane, think of this as the first step in laying those foundations and getting to know each other!

Looking like a great initiative, Kv.
I will be sure to swing by on my druids/green dragon and have some good RP. Always loved Seradane and it’s surroundings, glad it’s finally getting some appreciation!

The Great Cycle [Druidic Lesson]

Host: K’var

Date: 25/05/25

Time: 20:00

Location: Seradane

IC Description:

Understanding The Great Cycle is one of the earliest, and most fundamental lessons for any Druid, the most essential essence of Life: its transience.

Shan’do K’var gathers the students of The Weald of Seradane together to embark on a lesson of connection with life’s great process and passage. Together we will examine the inherent patterns and connections of The Great Cycle, and begin down a path where we accept that “This too shall pass”.

OOC Information:

This theory based lesson in Druidic prctice and K’var own philosophy will seek to give characters a better understanding of how Druids aspire to understand the connections between living things, and that life’s passage must come to embrace its passing too if we are to see rebirth and renewal. There will be opportunities to debate and students will tasked to wander and find objects that make them think of The Great Cycle.

RP Themes: Druidism, Education, Training. Philosophy, lo-fi, chill

The Winds of the Hinterlands [Druidic Lesson]

Host: Naeyas

Date: 01/06/25

Time: 20:00

Location: Seradane

IC Description:

“This evening we shall begin learning the winds of this land. To know them, commune with them and gain their trust so we call upon their aid.”

Naeyas raises a taloned finger into the air, a curious local breeze stirring from its natural path to follow his finger tip as he draws small circles in the air.

“We druids speak to the winds and the wilds. To weave the winds and breezes is a broad skill that all druids may learn, and I as Druid of the Talon shall take pleasure in teaching it.”

OOC Information:

Naeyas of the Talon invites all who would learn to gather and learn the winds of the Hinterlands. This lesson will begin with a short session discussing the difference between druidic and shamanistic wind manipulation. After a short interlude and task, students will join once more for a communion with the winds of the Hinterlands and apply what they have learned.

RP Themes: Druidic, Educational, Wind Communion.

Dreamwalking [Spiritual Experience]

Host: Naeyas

Date: 15/06/25

Time: 20:00

Location: Seradane

IC Description:

The scents of Seradane waft lazily on the northern wind, its chilly bluster receding slightly from perception as the lulling energies of the Emerald Dream spill from the dreamgate’s mouth to strengthen ones connection to the Dream.

“At the dreamway gates the connection between the Emerald Dream and the Waking is strongest. With the correct aids to meditate before one affords a rare opportunity to shed the body and walk within the Dream. I will guide you in this.”

OOC Information:

Naeyas of the Talon invites all who would learn to gather before Seradane’s Dreamway gate for a guided journey into the Emerald Dream. This lesson in walking the Dream is a gentle one, appropriate for both those who walk the druidic path, and those who do not. It is a journey of spirit beyond flesh, and chance for both dreaming thoughts and memories to be manifested and faced.

RP Themes: Spiritual, Meditation, out-of-body experience, Emerald Dream, None-druids welcome!
