Aka'Vrull

Honored brothers and sisters,

An arduous journey lays behind us as we have at long last returned to the familiar shores of Kalimdor. Through storms and battles we have navigated our way home, from the blood- and plague-soaked fields of Tirisfal to the treacherous cliffs of Kul Tiras. We have made both new enemies as well as new friends, however unlikely they may have been. But now we must see to what lies ahead.

Though we were briefly isolated from it during our time on Kul Tiras, the Horde has left behind it a trail of blood and suffering. Even on the desolate island, there is no escaping this truth. We have seen the true face of the present Horde and must see to our own if we are to carve out our own fate. If there is one thing that Kul Tiras has taught us, it is that not all is quite as black and white as some would have us believe. Humans can be true to their word. Orcs can be selfish and needlessly cruel. And the Horde is an entity that none of us can afford to neglect. We must work tirelessly to ensure its future. A worthy future.

To that end, we shall once more take up the task to host this year's Kosh'harg festival upon the plains of Nagrand. I invite you all to join me there, as there shall be not only joyful celebration, but also worthwhile reflection and introspection of who we are and what the Horde is to us. I look forward to greeting you all there.

For the Blood of Redblade,




Aka'Vrull (October) Events
Aka'Vrull, War's Blessing or Blessing of Vrull, marks the end of the agricultural season for those few clans who actively practice the art of cultivating land. More importantly to most other clans however, it also marks the traditional end of military campaigns as the weather grows too unfavourable to maintain active military efforts. As a result, tribute is paid to any spirits or patrons of war for the victories won that year. This is often done by sacrificing animals or trophies of the defeated enemies. Or, aeons ago, sacrificing captives of the enemies themselves...

[Celebration] Kosh'harg festival
Though traditionally held one month prior, the Kosh'harg was delayed due to the clan's troubles in Kul Tiras. With no other clan or organization having taken up responsibility however, there is still time for a belated Kosh'harg to help bring the people of the Horde together and unite in celebration! Considering the many questions that have arisen within the Horde's structure, it will undoubtedly be a pivotal place and time to see where we all stand. In addition to that, a closed Whiteclaw meeting shall be held to help decide the clan's fate in the months to come. The Kosh'harg shall take place on the 20th and the 21st day of Aka'Vrull.

[Allied guild] Call of the Wolf
For those who cannot stand to share the same space with the Alliance, they may wish to unwind on the same day instead. On the 27th day of Aka'Vrull, those who wish to test their mettle may instead attend the Iron Wolf Clan's Call of the Wolf event. In addition to the usual brawling tournament, there will be a feast dedicated to the victor.

[Server-wide] The Rule of Three's Autumn Ball
As winter draws near, we celebrate the last warmer days of the year and Hallow's End's festivities as one. With food, drinks and entertainment provided, the Rule of Three present their Autumn Ball. The celebration will be held on neutral grounds in Uldum, so expect to see both Horde as well as Alliance there. There may be a war going on, but we will respect the laws of our hosts upon neutral grounds. The ball shall take place upon the 27th day of Aka'Vrull. For more information see, the Rule of Three's Autumn Ball notice board.

[Server-wide] Earthen Ring Quarterly Gathering
On the 14th and 15th of Aka'Vrull, the Earthen Ring will gather in Stranglethorn Vale to discuss recent relevant events to all spiritually inclined matters. Any of the clan's shamans who have an interest in sharing knowledge or learning of the world's state is welcome to attend the event. Bear in mind that the meeting shall be held upon neutral grounds. More information may be found in the Earthen Ring's own notice here.



Announcements
[IC] Clan Gathering
A Clan Gathering is to be held on the 7th day of Aka'Vrull to reflect on the clan's events both in Lordaeron as well as in Kul Tiras. Suffice to say that many important matter shall be mentioned here, in addition to it being the first Clan Gathering in quite some time due to the clan's restless times abroad!

[OOC] Guild Mog Runs
From the 6th onward, Gridish will start hosting guild transmog runs to old content so we may all start gathering those pieces of gear we haven't had a crack at yet! If you have an interest and want to support his efforts, make sure to join in! The first target will be Antorus Mythic.
