[RP Info] Night Elf Roleplay

Argent Dawn
1

Restarting this ages old forum initiative for anyone who might wish to give night elf themed roleplay a shot, but isn’t quite sure where to find people or what’s happening when - or what these long-eared folk are all about. This post is not intended as a how-to-play guide, but rather as a brief and informative resource to assist players who wish to explore the theme.

Night Elf Lore :books:

What's their story?

One can read up on World of Warcraft lore for free on Warcraft Wiki. Formerly known as Wowpedia, the website was split from Fandom and moved to wiki.gg in 2023. It’s a great site for finding information about anything and everything related to the setting, with sources provided (in-game, books, etc.).

Night Elf lore on Warcraft Wiki

Timeline

The night elves have a lot of lore, owing to their prominent role in the ancient history of Azeroth. Please be reassured that comprehensive knowledge is not a prerequisite for roleplaying a night elf. It would be beneficial, however, to have a general understanding of how their society operates, as well as recognize the race’s involvement in major historical events.

Character concept ideas :thought_balloon:

Priestess / Priest of the Moon

Druid of the Cenarion Circle / Claw / Talon / Fang / Antler

Sentinel / Huntress

Watcher / Warden

Shen’dralar Mage / Lorekeeper

Illidari / Demon Hunter

Saber Handler / Owl Trainer

Your character could also be just a regular adventurer, craftsman, vendor, bard, etc.

Where to find? :world_map:

Places you're most likely to find night elf themed roleplay

The night elf scene has always been of roaming nature, the activity in settlements spiking and dwindling on repeat, never a constant all year long.

The recurring hubs are Amirdrassil and Astranaar. There’s also sometimes spikes of activity in Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas.

If you’re struggling to find people to play with, the Amirdrassil discord server has a ”looking for roleplay” channel that might help.

Guilds tend to travel the world for their own campaigns and events from time to time, and in order to catch them about recruitment, you better reach out to the guild’s officers.

Guilds :handshake:

List of guilds recruiting actively or occasionally

Bladecrest Sentinels | Guild Info

Cenarion Convocation

Dirge of Teldrassil | Guild Info

Elune’s Justice | Guild Info

Sera’diel | Guild Info

Shadowleaf Watchers | Guild Info

The Nightblade Sentinels | Guild Info

There are other guilds that focus on night elves, but this list is specifically for guilds that accept new players from time to time. Wish to be added to the list? Please let me know!

Discord :busts_in_silhouette:

Amirdrassil Community Discord

Amirdrassil Discord Server was created by Jai’are and Morningtide in late December 2023. It has since become the biggest discord revolving around night elf roleplay. Despite its name, night elf themed roleplay initiatives happening outside Amirdrassil are advertised there as well. People are welcome to share their character profiles, in-character rumours, artwork and stories on the server.

Please note the Discord server is not representative of the night elf scene as a whole.

Amirdrassil Discord Server Rules

:warning: Abide by Discord’s rules and Blizzard’s Code of Conduct as well as ours, as listed below: https://discordapp.com/terms / https://discordapp.com/guidelines / https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/code-of-conduct/

:small_orange_diamond: No NSFW content, offensive or sexually suggestive posts, including in avatars, custom status, and bio. No unsolicited DM advertisements or messages. Real life issues debates should be contained to the relevant channel. No spamming, which includes excessive amounts of messages, emojis, capital letters, pings/mentions, etc.

:small_orange_diamond:If you see any instances of rules being broken or TOS violations, please let us know by contacting mods as soon as you can. Include as many details as possible, including any screenshots, chat logs, links, and context. This speeds the process up and makes it easier for us to help you.

:small_orange_diamond: No disparaging other communities - Members are prohibited from engaging in discussions that negatively target or badmouth other servers, communities, or groups. This includes, but is not limited to, derogatory comments, spreading rumors, or encouraging hostile actions against other communities. We expect our members to exhibit maturity and respect in all interactions, both within our Server and beyond.

While a Community Server should strive to offer acceptance to all members, we reserve the discretional ability to ward someone from the Community, without waiting, should they have a documented history of:

  • Discriminatory, offensive jokes and language, or hate speech (which calls out a group by their race, nationality, sexuality, gender, political alignment, religious beliefs etc.)
  • Offensive, derogatory, or sexually explicit content in posts, usernames, or profile pictures
  • Vulgar, obscene, gruesome, disgusting, or gore content
  • Encouragement, trivialising, glorifying or promoting, in general, self-harm or suicide.

  • Verbal or other abuse, flaming, harassment, sincere insults, or threats towards others
  • Doxxing
  • Sexual harassment
  • Stalking

The list may be expanded in the future.

Because of these precedents, we deem it fair and just that membership of this community is something that will either be explicitly denied, or has to be earned with an extra layer of scrutiny. Membership is guaranteed to people who have no record of the above actions. No cross-server drama - please handle any problems between members privately. If you need to speak to a moderator you can DM them privately.

These rules are not set in stone, they are flexible and will be tweaked or adjusted over time as the moderators see fit. Major changes will be announced, minor ones will be edited in.

New to WoW roleplay in general?

There are roleplay guides pinned at the top of the Argent Dawn realm forums.

Discord community servers have become common for staying in the loop of the many different roleplay scenes revolving around particular themes or areas. The realm forums display only a fraction of all the buzz happening in the roleplay community as a whole. Argent Dawn EU Roleplay discord is one of the biggest ones active, where you can find a lot of other community discords and rp resources.

Argent Archives is a webportal created in 2007 to help tie the AD roleplay community together. Despite running on old tech, many roleplayers still use the site today for creating public character profiles and events, and for sharing literature, visual arts and screenshots related to roleplay. Logged-in users have an access to the archive’s search function.

Useful RP AddOns:

Total RP 3 - for creating and previewing character profiles in-game.

Elixir of Tongue for understanding the common language of the opposite faction with crossfaction roleplay in mind.

Cross RP AddOn to view TRP profiles of the opposite faction.

Listener - for keeping track of each player’s chat messages when there is a lot going on, to help you in a crowded setting, such as busy events.

Organized by Sera’diel, 20:00 ST

This week:

Saturday 23rd: Imbel - The Spring Equinox

Organized by Tínwëtar, 20:00 ST, Karnum’s Glade in Desolace

The Kaldorei are closely tied to nature, and as the cycle turns, the spring equinox marks the birth and beginning of spring. A time not for harvest, but appreciation of what nature will grow into with the returning daylight.

A holiday with a heavier emphasis on religion than other festivals, Imbel is celebrated by both Druids and the Sisterhood alike. The theme for the holiday is renewal and growth, and we invite you all to come and partake in this special evening of reverence and worship.

Full event info: [A-Event] Imbel - The Spring Equinox 🌱

Sunday 24th: 8th Crescent Conclave

Organized by Ialluen, 20:00 ST, Astranaar

Elune’s grace, priestess player of Argent Dawn! Spring has arrived, and the time has come to meet for the Eighth Crescent Conclave! If you play a Kaldorei who’s main character concept is that of a priestess or priest of Elune, we welcome you to a night of conversations, discussions and connecting with other characters who do the same. The idea is to give an important part of Kaldorei society a peaceful and social arena to talk and meet, and to exchange information and experiences in a friendly way between groups, guilds and orders - as always! This time, we return to where it all began - Astranaar, and the Hunter’s Hall!

The event will take roughly two hours, and as always we will switch in between open discussion and a speaker’s list so to keep order. Those attending will be asked to keep a polite and cordial tone.

Full event info: [Night Elf RP] 8:th Crescent Conclave 🌙 24:th March

Tuesday 26th: Full Moon Sermon

Organized by Cilyrah, 20:00 ST, Stormglen Village in Gilneas

Priestess Cilyrah Mistborn invites both Kaldorei and Gilneans to attend a Full Moon Sermon at the beach of Stormglen village. During this sermon the attendees can bask in the influence of the rising full moon and receive a blessing of harmony, tranquillity and peace. This specific sermon aims to honour the continuous bond between the Kaldorei and Gilnean people and celebrates the reclamation of the Gilnean Kingdom.

The Blackwater Syndicate will be providing food and drinks in Stormglen Village after the sermon has concluded. Any local merchants are welcome to set up their stalls to provide traditional Gilnean goods or aid with the worgen curse.

The Priestess will gather those interested in front of the inn at the eight bell, after which we shall walk towards the beach together. No offerings are required.

April 6th: Amirdrassil Community Gathering

Organized by Valkorian Nightforge/Arcan, Belanaar Harbor, 19:45 ST

A gathering hosted by Valkorian, to bring together the denizens of Amirdrassil, potentially on a regular intervals, to socialise and to seek & find aid.

It is a gathering intended to, hopefully regularly, host gatherings on perhaps different locations of Amirdrassil, to add to the sense of community to those that intend on regularly role-play in and from Amirdrassil’s various regions.

It is an event that is intended to be peaceful, with preferably no planned bloodshed, since the area is one of the well-protected areas of Amirdrassil, with Sentinels and Mariners constantly patrolling.

April 6th: Watcher Promotion

Organized by Brigitá, Tomb of Sargeras

Watcher Promotion of Silvershot and Silvershade!

Eanlin Silvershot and Eldenar Silvershade have walked the path of becoming Watchers for a long while now, and have shown dedication and determination to our cause.
And thus it has come time for an iconic moment of their story, a promotion to a fully fledged Watcher.

On 6th April 20.00 ST we will hold an event in honor of this. All Wardens, Watchers and trainees are welcome to join us in the sacred ritual of the order!

There are three parts to this event, review, vows and celebration. Location of choice will be Tomb of Sargeras.
OOC reasoning: Due Vault’s number limitation.
IC reasoning: A place iconic for the Wardens and Watchers due to the tragedy that has once transpired there during the third war. And yet, as we head for the renewal of the Kaldorei, we reclaim the tomb and see to the bright future!

Amirdrassil Community Gathering Event Details

Emerald Assembly (Druids) Event Details

Watcher Promotion (Watchers/Wardens) Event Details

FYI, Saleysea has made a cool roleplay initiative on the Amirdrassil Discord server called

The Sentinel Noticeboard

OOC: Hello fellow Sentinel &/or Moonclaw enthusiasts! I want to provide events tailored specifically to a smaller group of sentinel characters - regardless of rank - who are unaffiliated with any guilds and thus lack the means to have their characters partake in this particular theme of roleplay on a regular basis. Note: It is not exclusive to guildless characters. Those who belong to a guild already are of course welcome too, but the scale of events will be limited to ‘one-off’ narratives.

How will it work?

I will announce an event in the form of a sort of ‘call-to-arms’ noticeboard, where my own character acts as a ‘quest giver’ to delegate tasks to the participating sentinels. The one playing the highest ranking character is given temporary command of the others to lead the operation - ranging from escort missions to dealing with threats to the peace in Kaldorei controlled territories (and beyond), and perhaps even expand into training sessions if there is interest for such. After an in-character briefing on the parameters and conditions of success for a mission, travel is arranged (often in the form of a mage that provides a portal closeby to their destination) and from there the event kicks off.

A date is decided once at least two players have DM’d me their interest and the event announcement will be updated accordingly. Message me if you are interested in participating on your character!

Upcoming events tied to the Sentinel Noticeboard:

The Gnoll Toll, Thursday 11th April

Event name: The Gnoll Toll

Synopsis: Of all the creatures on Azeroth, why’d it have to be gnolls? The lengthy trek across the woodlands had left his legs weary from overuse. ‘Azure Span’ indeed, Telarion had thought to himself, for the region seemed to extend forever. Upon encountering the pack of uncouth savages, emerging from mist-covered treeline, his energy spent after a day’s worth of travel, and without coin to pay the exorbitant fee that the creatures had demanded for safe passage through “Gnoll Land”, he retained enough forethought to drop the beacon he took with him from Bel’ameth. As the gnolls closed in around him, he uttered a low prayer to Elune, that its activation was as simple as he’d been told, and that someone would answer his call. Somewhere, below the boughs of Amirdrassil, an arcane crystal thrummed to life…

Note pinned to the board, outside the sentinel armory: The mages of Amirdrassil have received a distress call, and traced it back to one of the neighboring isles. The sentinels are putting together an effort to investigate its origin, but must humbly request for aid from volunteers to go with; particularly druids, or other capable menders. Willing individuals are asked to forward their enlistment to captain Featherwind.

Event name: The Collector

Synopsis: Finflink Twistneedle prided himself on many things. His savvy with a rapier. His infallible sense of fashion. His perfectly curled mustache (nourished by only the most reliable gnomish hygiene articles that ever graced the market, thank you very much.) Never in his life would he have thought his crowning achievement were to be a museum, housing ancient relics from various different cultures - both those that currently exist, and those long since forgotten. All financed by the endless coffers of the Steamwheedle Cartel, no less! To think, his father had once chastised his dreams of exploring the world as childish nonsense. It had all paid off, in the end. He had received many threats from those who coveted his hoard, of course, but such occupational hazards were to be expected. Under the protection of his ever vigilant hosts, he felt quite safe.

Note pinned up on the board. One particular name has been crossed out several times, until the author either gave up, or finally got it right: We have recently received intelligence that a particular antiquity, one thought lost in the aftermath of the war for Kalimdor, has found its way into the hands of a profiteer from the goblin town of Tweakfist Tweakwrench Tweakgizmo Tweakfizzle Landing, situated on the northern coast of Azshara. The town maintains trade relations with our eastern allies, and as such, we cannot simply reclaim this item through brute force, as justified as that would be. Nor is the Sisterhood keen on humoring this individual with negotiating a fair price for what rightfully belongs to our people. Unorthodox methods have been sanctioned by the higher chain of commands, and we seek capable volunteers to mount an infiltration of the town, and find means to recover this artifact without jeopardizing any tenuous diplomatic standing we have with the denizens. If you are the person that we need, speak with captain Featherwind in Bel’ameth.

The Alor’el Spring Festival came and went, thank you everyone who joined the event!

People have noted that activity in Amirdrassil has dwindled considerably since February. Is night elf roleplay at large on the decline once more? No, not at all!

The night elf scene has always been of roaming nature; the activity in a hub spikes and then quiets down again on repeat. It’s never a constant all year round as most night elf guilds are based on an adventuring concept, as are many of the individual characters.

There’s however an amazing number of events coming up in next few months where you may meet new people:

April 27th - 28th: Del’ursdiel Twin Bear Festival :bear:
