Kosh'harg Festival, Spring 2020
Winter has ended and flowers have taken bloom once more, creatures wake up from their hibernation and start to wander the lands once more. It is at this time that the orcs celebrate the coming of the winter and the opening of the hunting season. The year that has passed has been a tough one for all members and races of the Horde, and yet more tough times may await them. But only time shall tell what is lurking for us around the corner.For seven days and seven nights, Garadar will harbour the bi-annual tradition of Kosh’harg. A festival of peace and prosperity for all members of the Horde who seek to rest their arms from the fighting and pay homage to what they fight for: Home, family, and the spirits that guide them. No matter how dire the circumstances in the face of adversity and strife may seem, the Kosh’harg will never be forgotten as it has in the past. Thus, those of you who harbour love and respect for the unity of the Horde, join us in this celebration and raise your mugs to the times ahead!
Details
| When | March 30th - April 5th |
| Where | Garadar, Nagrand (Outlands) |
| Who | Horde |
The time has come once more to celebrate tradition and unity! The armistice has been created and (relative) peace has found its way to Azeroth once more. With that the Orcs, as is tradition, lay down their arms twice a year to revere the hallowed Ancestors that have guided them on their paths and seen them through all times, be they a breeze, or a difficult storm, with their guidance we prevail.
Since the horde has come to be the way that it is, with the plethora of different races, it has opened up to the allies of the orcs as well as long as they abide by the rules of the festival itself. It is a time of unity after all.
Due to the nature of the event, it goes without saying that - as always - any who choose to attend this event are requested to be at their best behaviour. Being a festival of peace and concord, there will be no place for petty disputes, warmongering, political agendas, or whatever else that might disrupt the theme of the event. A lot of time has been put into organizing all of the events that are on offer and your fellow participants have all come here to have a good time, so for all of our sakes, please keep this in mind if you choose to pay a visit to this lighthearted occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What about peacekeepers?
Due to social festivals and events doing so well in remaining peaceful, we see no reason to enforce the peace with clear figures of temporary authority as we see this as something that might simply encourage antagonism. It is a festival of peace after all, and there is nothing to be gained from disrupting that peace! Thus we recommend that everyone simply stays on their best behaviour and - above all - has a bunch of fun!
What about events?
The events will be posted in the link above, as well as in a post following this one as soon as the main events of the celebration have been set in stone. After this schedule has been set up, anyone is free to contact either me, or the other Red Blade officers to arrange their own events. Or, if you are the more impulsive kind, spontaneous smaller events are welcome when there are no larger main events to participate in!
My character is a merchant, and I want to sell stuff!
Wonderful! Not only are you very welcome to set up a "stall" at any point during the festival, but there will also be a dedicated market time (detailed in the schedule) for when as many people as possible will be able to pay your character a visit and browse their wares! If you include a small description to one of the officer of the Red Blade regarding this, we can even promote it down below in a different section!
