Shamanistic gathering


What ? : Shaman gathering inter faction
When ? : Thursday 18 november 20h
Where ? : Not decided yet
Who ? : Shaman of all races availaible

The world is failing appart, the elements unleach their rage, angry and lost in fear. If only one kind of persons can do something to save this world, it's the shamans. Shamans of all over the world need to gather and unite their efforts, to understand the Elements, and to calm them, if possible.



This is not the real RP message introduction, do not worry ! As you may have understand, this event is a project, and I'll need the help of several persons.

The purpose is to organise a cross faction RP event open to shaman only. Shamans of all races would be secretly invited to gather in some place to hold a ceremony of Visions, followed by a offering ceremony.

The ceremony of Vision : One shaman designed by the group will lead the ceremony (need to be a respected one with lot of experience). This shaman will guaranty that the ceremony goes well. He will "lead" the others shaman through visions and be sure no one will be lost.
All other shamans will drink the herbal potion. This potion will make everyone vomit firstly. Then place everyone in trance. Everyone will gather arround the fire, play drums all together and dance. The leading shaman will also sing, and can invite someone to replace him for the sing if he wants (he just point someone) etc, so everyone can participate actively. In this way, each shaman will enter in the world of Vision. (we could agree on a vision OOCly before the event start, so everyone will have seen +- the same thing)

After the ceremony of Vision, we will do the Ceremony of Offering. As it will be a cross faction event, it will be difficult, both in character and OOC to communicate. This is why I do not want hold a real discussion between people, but I'd like to favourise actions. However, we can shortly share our Vision if we wish.

The Ceremony of Offering for the Four Element:
We will make 4 offering, each for one element. We will start with Air, Water, Fire then Earth.
Each shaman leader of his group (one by race, unless there is several tribes played on Horde side) will make his offering, with a little bless/soong/words. The offering must be made in a thanksful way. Each offering must be something related to its element and symbol of abondance, plasure and weel beeing. Something precious. Obviously, for each race it will be different.

Ceremony of Air : at the top of the mountain, we trow a light offering to the Wind (seeds, flowers, leaves, feathers), hoping that the wind will grasp it and take it away, far.
All shaman get their lighting shield or a totem

Ceremony of water : we sink different offering (related to water: shells, fishes, pearls...) in water. It can be depending the place where we will hold the event in a lake, river, or in a big recipient if there is no natural spring of water.
All shaman get their water shield or a totem

Ceremony of Fire : In the Fire, we offer our offering and let it burn. (must be burnable : wood, incens, etc)
All shaman get a (non agressinve) fire totem

Ceremony of Earth : In a hole made in the ground, we will burry food.
All shaman get their earth shield (if you have it) or a earth totem

After have done those two ceremonies, we will salute each others and leave, one (or several) groups, leaving in one direction (South, East, West, North).


After this event, each group can gather (or Alliance groups and Horde groups) and have a longer discussion concerning the Vision, or simply to talk about the problems happening.
I hope with this event, to offer something a bit different, spicy and very related to the events occuring.
I've inspired myself for this event from diverses shamanistic ceremonies existing in real life. The Vision one is inspired from Peruvian ayahuaska ceremony.




Preparation

To prepare this event, I just need motivated people to gather their group, and decide together how to give a particular flavour to their racial shamanism. Some events can be hold seperatly by the differents groups if they wish to do so. I also really ask to not be hostile during this event, and to respect the "shamanistic truce".

I'll in character send the invitation and such when Elloa is back from her expedition. Meanwhile, we can organise ourselves OOCly.

So I need : 1 orc leader + orcs, 1 troll leader + trolls, 1 tauren leader + tauren, 1 draenei leader (will not be me) + draenei, and 1 warhammer dwarf + other warhammers dwarfs  and of course, of course, the Ashepine Chieftain Uung+ Furborlg. A clan of Ogre could also join possibly if that amuse some players.
