[H-RP] Durotar's First Kosh'harg — 21 to 24 September

Kolmogar-argent-dawn · September 21, 2023, 5:38pm

Soon, all will be reminded that the Warsong reigns as the strongest clan. We are supreme!

Eliff-argent-dawn · September 21, 2023, 5:45pm

Opening ritual starting in 15 minutes!

Gruash-argent-dawn · September 21, 2023, 9:00pm

Had a great first day at the Kosh’harg!

Looking forwards to day 2 and 3!

Lok’tar!

Kozgugore-argent-dawn · September 21, 2023, 10:00pm

I daresay the first night was a resounding success, as we had the pleasure to welcome far more lovely folks than we had anticipated for such a first attempt at a new format! A new format inevitably also means a bit of trial and error, but while some events lasted a little longer than anticipated, I daresay some of the competitions have enough staying power to make a comeback for the future!

A big thank you to everyone attending the first night, even if it was on a weekday, and a particular thank you to Tahi, Eliff, Zakarah and Nrak for helping host events!

The results for the Clan Games are as follows!

Wild Wolf Run

Resha Goresong, Iron Wolf Clan
Grashka Redcleaver, Iron Wolf Clan
Gralna Frosteyes, Blackrock Clan

Boulder’s Fury Challenge

Gruluk Snarlaxe, Warsong Clan
Zehmni Felcrusher, Iron Wolf Clan
Resha Goresong, Iron Wolf Clan

Duel of the Elements

Ro’shera Bloodfang, of the Horde
Zhakra Bloodmist, Warsong Clan
Gralna Frosteyes, Blackrock Clan

Ring of Rampage

Ghormisa Lightfury, Bleeding Hollow
Zhakra Bloodmist, Iron Wolf Clan
Gruluk Snarlaxe, Warsong Clan

And as a result, the net winner of the Clan Games is…

The Iron Wolf Clan

I genuinely went in to the rampage expecting to lose! A good first night and a massive thank you to everyone who helps organise and run this event.

With the final rite of the Om’Gora finished, we have two brave orcs who managed to forge their way through all three blessings! Gru’ash Maimfist of the Warsong Clan, now also known as Stormweaver, and Kadrak Axefury of the Warsong Clan, now also known as Battlebreaker, set a fine example for all others orcs to strive for as they overcame each of the challenges laid before them! Honor be to them!

Gruash-argent-dawn · September 24, 2023, 9:26pm

I would like to Personaly Thank Koz- kozgu…gore…KOZGUGORE and orcs of the Red Blade for an amazing week of events. Its been so long since i attended a Kosh’harg like this and its great to see so many Orc Rp’ers comming together and i hope it will inspire more to give it a try.

Arhnum-argent-dawn · September 24, 2023, 11:33pm

Thank you for organising this!

Such joy to take part in an original, and entirely unique, set of events that are purpose made as well as RP that isn’t used BY anyone else, a stellar effort!

Have to hand it to the Red blade for renewing this effort in a completely new and refreshing style! That takes some skill considering the new lore and nearly 16 years of synonymous history they have adapted to, good job. I look forward to the next lore accurate Kosh’harg and long may it last!

Good job team Horde!
