FAQ covering the rules of the festivity:


Q: Where does the festival take place?

A: The Festival of Light takes place at Azure Watch. However, the location varies during the workshop hours!


Q: Is there a fixed schedule?

A: Yes, there is a schedule which you can take a look at here:


Q: If I show up on Day 1 (Friday) as a non-draenei, what can I expect?

A: As Day 1 is an event aimed at an Draenei audience (we will be decorating and preparing the market stalls, etc.), non-Draenei visitors will be advised to leave or observe the preparations from a distance. They may be allowed to cut and gather wood for us, but that is about it.


Q: What if my character carries weapons?

A: Weapons are not prohibited on the festival grounds with the exception of our Peacekeepers who will be the only people carrying weapons. Arriving visitors will be directed to the weapon storage, where their weapons will be stored away safely during their stay.


Q: On your poster it reads ‘Void, Fel and Necromancy NOT welcome!’ what does this entail?

A: The Festival of Light is a sacred, holy celebration created and hosted by the Draenei people. Heavy exposure to holy magic and rituals is to be expected and the display of dark magical items is also not allowed.

Therefore, arriving Void Elf/Warlock/DK/etc. characters will be warned about the potentials risks by our Peacekeepers. Void Elves will also be advised to maybe cover their void-touched hair with a hood. They will be asked to discard any dark items & weapons.

All of these questionable individuals will be closely observed.


Q: What if my character willingly goes against the rules/stirs up trouble/starts fighting?

A: As is common etiquette, your character will receive a warning depending on the severity of their disturbance by our Peacekeepers.
However, I would like to stress that our Peacekeepers are allowed to ban troublemakers from attending the festivities any further. Please take consequences in your roleplay seriously! Don’t attend this public event expecting conflict RP!


I hope this explains pretty much everything! If you have any questions, ask away in this thread or contact us on the Draenei Discord (link is in the OP’s first post)!

Be seeing you!

Tonight was just FANTASTIC! We had a massive turnout! Over 50 Draenei attended tonight!!

The evening of our Draenei-only event started with a gathering in the Crystal Hall. Ancient Bar’uu held a sermon in this shamanistic place to symbolize unity amongst the Draenei people, followed by a history lesson in the Vault of Lights covering Argussian tales such as the rise and fall of the Wakeners, Thal’kiel and about Prophet Velen’s exodus and the emerge of the “Draenei”.

After that, the Draenei embarked on a scenic tour across the Isle. The pilgrimage was led by Kha’raas who shared the stories of how the Exodar plummeted through the skies and crashed on the Azuremyste Isle almost a decade ago. How the Draenei were besieged by the forces of the Sunfury and how they met their Alliance allies in unlikely places.

Once in the Azure Watch, the Draenei prepared the festivity grounds by decorating them and gathering wood from Odesyus Landing. The evening was concluded with exchange of small gifts and a grand feast!

Overall, thank you all for this smooth turn out! On to Day 2! :wink:

It was a great event! I hadn’t attended a proper Draenei event in maybe 3 years. It felt good being among my folks, but also recognizing some faces from back then! Here’s a pic of me and some hunky boi whose name I didn’t catch.

Looking forward to day two! Also…what do I do with all the gifts I was too shy to exchange? :sweat_smile:

Check the schedule I posted every 3 days! It’s all there. The speech / sermon is just a tad late due to RL issues.
