Ankathar

Ankathar

Honored brothers and sisters,

We have each had time to wind down and recover from our perilous journey from Kul Tiras by celebrating unity within the Horde at the Kosh'harg festival, as well as licking our wounds in the sanctity of Durotar. That time cannot last forever, however. War continues to run rampant across the continents, and however divided the Horde may in truth seem, we too must do our part. We shall do so on our own terms, however.

With the Whiteclaw Communion's movement gaining momentum, we must do all within our power to support the cause. However strange it may seem in the face of the Communion's aversion to war, that also includes fighting the Alliance. After all, if we were to collectively give up our duty to the Horde, it would only mean others would take our place at this stage. Which means deceit and dishonour may well continue to be spread as the Horde's ideals. We must prove both the Alliance the Horde that the opposite can be true.

In the coming month, expect to be called upon to venture to war once more. However, this time we shall do so on our own terms. On our own battleground. With our own allies.

For the Blood of Redblade,



Ankathar (November) Events
Ankathar, the Ancestor's Tide, is the first month of the dark months of winter. As an opposite to the time of light and fertility in the first half of the year, death and darkness play a key role in Ankathar. The ancestors are remembered and honoured, and preparations for the coming winter are made.

[Celebration] Day of the Ancestor
Hunting season ends, and so the time comes for the nomadic clans to migrate to better harbor once more. Rather than affording a grand feast, instead ensuring enough foods are stored for the coming Winter, it is a sober occasion when the dead of the past year, but also prior years, are honored. The orcs visit shrines dedicated to the dead to pay tribute for their sacrifice. When the ceremony concludes, they warm themselves by great bonfires to share the grand tales of the honored ancestors. This year's Day of the Ancestor shall take place on the 11th day of Ankathar.

[Campaign] Ogrepowered
As our first collaborative initiative with the Whiteclaw Communion, the Red Blade Clan sets out to secure Azerite from an ogre-infested island on behalf of the Horde. Ogres may not be our only concern however, as Alliance ships have been spotted scouting out the other side of the island as well. Be prepared for anything! For any additional information, refer to the notice here.

[Allied guild] Call of the Wolf
The monthly brawling tournament of the Iron Wolf Clan continues to be held, so yet another chance for any aspiring champions among the Red Blade Clan to compete on behalf of us in order to bring honour to both your own as well as the clan's name! It shall be held on the 24th day of Ankathar.

[Server-wide] Day of the Dead
Our culture is not the only one that takes this chance to honour the dead. Hosted by Siavash from the Dunedwellers, the Day of the Dead is a neutral festival held in Sri-La Village. So, if you intend to attend, ensure to be on your best behavior! Read the festival program on the notice board here.



Announcements
[IC] Clan Gathering
Once more, the month shall be kicked off with a Clan Gathering to discuss the past month and announce the plans for the coming month. The meeting shall be held on the 4th day of Ankathar.

[OOC] Guild Mog Runs
Another guild transmog run shall be held on the 9th. We will once again have a crack at Antorus Mythic, so gather up no later than 19:50 to get yourself some fancy looking gear!
