We’ve been plenty busy the last two weeks with spiritual adventures, recruiting at the Fireside Gathering and hunting across Kalimdor!
Tonight, as the Winter solstice approaches, the clan gathers for their traditional Winter celebration, the Long Night - a time of cleansing ahead of the new year to come.
There will be feasting and blessings for all, along with a rare treat for those worthy and willing - the clan’s Rite of Om’riggor, a chance to prove yourself before your fellow Red Blades and earn an honor-name!

A Merry Christmas to everyone here as well, of course! The guild’s been having a ball spending its time leading up to the holidays in Everlook joining in on the Winter Veil celebrations there as well as having its own various Winter Veil activities, including but not limited to snow ball fighting competitions, pinata bashing and, of course, secret Greatfather Winter gift exchanges! Featuring a visit from the “genuine” old man in person, even!

Our adventures in the Azure Span have continued the last few weeks! Here’s a summary of the last couple of clan events!
The Portal Stone
The Red Blades have journeyed to the remote Dragon Isles and are still exploring its many mysteries as they seek to return the time-staff to the safekeeping of the Dragonflights. And yet many of the clan still have duties to fulfil in their home of Kalimdor - obligations that cannot be easily set aside for long.
Therefore, under the leadership of Gul’thauk Elcak Mirthmaw, the clan set out to gather various artefacts of magical power from around the Azure Span - including a fallen dragon shrinestone, crystals from a cave above a ley line, a resonance modulator held by a half-digested mage inside a beast, a focusing lens won from treeants in a battle of riddles, and enchanted metal chains forged by a dracthyr smith.
After more than a week of trial and error, Elcak had finally constructed a portal stone from the artefacts - one that would allow safe and stable passage between two attuned locations. Yet without sufficient magical energy to empower the portal stone, it was simply a very fashionable paperweight - until the clan ventured forth to the Azure Archives, the area’s most powerful arcane nexus.
Proving themselves worthy to the Blue Dragonflight’s guardians by completing tests of will, character and teamwork, the clan were permitted to access the ley line conflux at the heart of the Azure Archives, empowering the portal stone with latent arcane energy. With their hands placed against the stone, each orc visualised the sights, sounds and feel of Orgrimmar, attuning the stone to the coordinates of the capital of the Horde.
The portal stone now permits free magical transport between the clan’s current camp and Orgrimmar - an orc need only place their hand upon the stone and think of Orgrimmar to open a gateway to the city, and can be sent back to the stone by one of Orgrimmar’s trained portal magi. Yet the stone is heavy and cumbersome, and is best transported from camp to camp on the back of Tumbleweed, the clan’s kodo.

Hope everyone had a good 1st of April! Remember, if anyone pranked you, you can can pay back in equal measure. Avenge any and all intended insult.
In other news, THE CLAN! This clan that is. What are we doing? Of course the typical shenanigans. And who is responseible for this? Elcak of course, damn Laughing Skull.
On the 4th we have an event in Azure Span because of this. What will happen? What has he done? Why are things like this? Why are the murlocs bloody everywhere?
I don’t know! What I do know is that spring is here. Because it keeps raining.

The thread’s been a little quiet, but there certainly hasn’t been a lack of things to do! We’ve returned to Kalimdor after our misadventures in the Dragon Isles and got some exciting traditional events coming up.
Meanwhile, the website’s been undergoing some maintenance due to behind the scenes updates, so it may look a little different while I complete all the changes. In the meantime, here’s one of Elcak’s music playlist videos mixed in with clan lore to compensate, to give a little impression of all the lore that’s hidden on said website!
