We all know that in the old times, orcs had more in their life than hunts and wars and trainings. They also took the time and did things to prepare for hunts, and for wars, and for trainings. One of these preparative rituals, who's original name has been lost, seems to be worth the name of "Blessing of the Wolf" (http://orcsoftheredblade.com/wiki/index.php/Blessing_of_the_Wolf).
The ritual aims to allow orcs to commune with the Spirit of the Wolf, and eventually receive his blessing. I should tell you that, for all I know, this was a ritual that orcs always took before a battle or a big hunt. That is because the blessing grants them renewed strenght and agility, lasting for a few days. Therefore it is only appropriate that orcs who will take part in the Tournament of the Blades (http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php/topic,1729.0.html) should consider taking it before.
The entire ritual is too long for me to expose it here. Instead, I will invite all of you, interested in receiving the blessing or only watching, to meet by the bonfire in Garadar, on the 23th day of the month, at the eighth horn, and see for yourselves.
(( Friday, January 23th, 20:00, Garadar. ))

I tool the liberty to add this as a Guild Event to the Covenant planner.
Lets put them all up there so that we dont get raids on the same day as guild events?
((
Oh! That's a great idea! It's not the first time it happens, yes.
I'll add an icon for "guild event". One ... looking like a "forbidden sign" perhaps? ;)
Just kidding. But we might get some visitors then. :)
Thanks!

* he also lets a short hurried note *
"I deeply regret that we did not have time to talk it over, so of course I will take care of the ritual, and I hope that the spirits will listen and grant their blessing to the orcs present. But you should know at least what to expect, and perhaps in case something happens to me... well, I am certain that will not be the case."
Me try me best ta be there Norvis.
((Got some work issues at moment but will try to be on line)). :-\ :'(
(( Currently I got the feeling I'm gonna be late, Cause i gots to Move from here to any other house before I can gets onto WoW. I'm heading off now, and with good traffic shouldn't be too late. :-* << Apology kiss-smiley!))
(( The event did not take place anymore, I had to postpone for some time next week - I suppose - due to the horrible behavior of my internet connection tonight for a too long time. Thanks a lot to those who came and I hope that at least some of you did find a bit of fun in the random meetings tonight... ))
