Gorosh
Honored brothers and sisters,
There are times for healing, and there are times for war. The past two months have been a time of spiritual and physical healing for many of us, as we have recuperated from the labors of war against the Burning Legion. Offerings were made, celebrations were held and bonds were forged. It was a good time for any orc who strives for the days of old, before any interventions from dae'mons or belligerent clans. Even in those venerated days, however, war was an ever-skulking predator. And that predator is now poised to strike.
Many of you expected it to happen for some time, but it has now at long last happened. The skirmishes in Silithus have come to a head. The Warchief has now called for a mass mobilization of all battle-ready denizen of the Horde. It is with a heavy heart that I must commit the Red Blade's banner, too, to the Horde's thundering war machine. Come the fourth day of Gorosh, we shall say our goodbyes to the sanctity of Razor Hill and begin to make our way to Orgrimmar, where the drums of war have been sounded. Do not expect a short conflict, for it would appear this war is bound to be greater than any conflict we have witnessed in recent times. Sharpen your blades, repair your armor and raise the colors of the clan. But above all else, do not forget who we are and where we come from. Carry your homeworld and the Code of our ancestors with you in your hearts, for it are these things that will separate us from any other warrior upon the battlefield. And know that I am proud to be your Chieftain, for I would not wish for any finer warriors to stand by my side upon the field of battle.
For the Blood of Redblade,
Gorosh (July) EventsNamed in honor of the element of fire, Gorosh, Fire's Heart, marks the warmest time of year when the sun reaches its zenith. In addition to Gorosh being the month in which the element of fire is at its strongest, it is also the month in which animal spirits begin to appear more freely and may become more common to encounter. Additionally, this period of the year is an ideal time to set out into the wide world, nurturing adventure, wildness and freedom.
[Campaign] Drums of War part 1War beckons! The conflict over the resource known as Azerite is beginning to gain momentum, and Orgrimmar seems poised to launch an offensive some day soon. All orcs are to be combat-ready and prepared to move out within a moment's notice, for war may well make its way to our doorstep very soon. In preparation to this, a War Training shall be held on the third day of Gorosh, but it may not be long before we venture out shortly after that. For any additional information on the conflict and any developments to come, see the
Drums of War notice board or the
campaign reports.
[Celebration] Kra-MavorSport and competition has always been a focal point for any orcish culture and community. It allows us to test one another's mettle in honest contest, as well as to find a chance to forge new bonds through friendly rivalries. The Kra-Mavor, or Summer Games, was once a time-honored tradition in which many different forms of contests would pit orcs against one another to see who might arise as our people's finest. As it stands, the Kra-Mavor is set to take place on the 22nd day of Gorosh, but bear in mind this may change depending on the outcome of any ongoing military campaigns earlier this month. As such, the date may yet be moved.
[Celebration] Tournament of the BladesIt has been a long time in the making! Due to our ongoing conflict against the Burning Legion and our subsequent fall at the time, the Tournament of the Blades threatened to fall into obscurity. However, the time has at last come to see once more who might be crowned Champion of the clan! Thanks to Gosh'kar Nar'thak Strongarm, the Tournament of the Blades is set to take place on the 20th day of Gorosh. Once more, bear in mind this date may be subject to change depending on the course and outcome of any ongoing military campaigns. One way or another however, we shall soon find out whether Thur'ruk Kogra Windwatcher shall successfully defend her title of Champion (should she choose to do so) and who might instead have the strength to take over. See the
notice board for any additional information.
Announcements [OOC] Drums of War RP-PvP campaignThough the exact date is as of yet unknown due to the date of the release of the pre-patch, the second part of the Drums of War campaign may well take place within this month as well. We'll keep you posted on any developments, but it might be safe one way or another to keep an eye on the
Drums of War thread on the Argent Dawn forums to see for yourself whether there are any developments on both part one as well as part two of the campaign.
[OOC] Battle for AzerothThe pre-patch, and Battle for Azeroth along with it, is fast approaching! Due to the expansion's release date having been moved to take place one month earlier than expected, any official Red Blade campaigns will have to be delayed until we're into Battle for Azeroth ourselves, rather than to have an extra one to set up the scene for what is set to happen in the course of the expansion itself. As a compromise however, we will use the Drums of War campaign to instead set this scene. A couple of pivotal developments will take place throughout the course of the campaign that are sure to leave a mark on the clan and its identity before the end! For any additional information and future summaries on these important developments, refer to the
campaign report thread.
[OOC] TrailerThe development of our next trailer is underway! Though it's likely to be more of a 'teaser trailer' for the time being, it's still a perfectly worthy trailer in its own right when all has been said and done, so we're very much looking forward to sharing the results with you! When exactly this might be, remains to be seen. We'll be certain to keep you all posted on any possible filming-days when we'll need as many orc actors as possible to shine on the silver screen, however!
