Shamanistic gathering


What ? : Shaman gathering inter faction
When ? : Thursday 18 november 20h
Where ? : RATCHET
Who ? : Shaman : Tauren, Orc, Trolls, Draenei, Wildhammer Dwarfs, Furborlg, Ogre


You may have heard the rumour of a Draenei mounting a white Talbuk and racing trough Azeroth, trying to gather shamans of all race for Great Ceremony. You maybe have meet her. Maybe you will meet her.
The world is falling appart, elementals are raging, attacking and invading villages and cities from all Azeroth. It’s time to attempt something. It’s maybe our last chance to save our world…
A great ceremony of Vision and of Offering will be hold the 18 day of the 11 month, when the sun embrase the horizon.

This is a call for all shaman of Azeroth.



More details :

• This is a peacefull gathering for shamans of all races. Together, the shamans will unite their effort, their soul and their spirit in a Great ceremony of Vision after what they will attempt to calm the Elements with a Ceremony of Offering for the 5 elements .
  
  
• The gathering will be hold near Ratchet : neutral city, easy of access, harbour.
  
  
• The shamans are expected to behave peacefully at all time. They will bring with them their rituals intruments (according their culture), staff, trinkets, drum, flute and whatnot.
  The shamans will bring a totem for the four elements and an offering related to the 5 elements.

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.


THE VISION ! OOC Explanations !!
After discussion with Maazgull and Rargnasha, we have agreed on this, to avoid a too powerfull vision, and to offer each player enough freedom while keeping sense and harmony between everyone.

The vision is in same time common and individual. Each shaman will see something according their own temper and abilities. The vision can NOT be prophetic. The vision is related to the Rage of the Elements during the Shattering.
Each shaman will choose a element they are in stronger connection, and will see something related to this element.

For example : A shaman connected to Fire could have a vision of a Volcano, or a forest on fire. A shaman connected to wind, could have a vision of a Tornado, or a tempest.


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 Five Element:
We will make 4 or 5 offerings (according your race), each for one element. We will start with Air, Water, Fire then Earth and to end the 5th element : Wild (orc)/ Life (Draenei) / ….
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 others shamans stand back. 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 a little hill, 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 : The shamans get close to the shore and sink differents offerings (related to water: shells, fishes, pearls...) in 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 agressive) 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
  
  
• Ceremony for the 5th Element : depending of the believe of your race.

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've inspired myself for this event from diverses shamanistic ceremonies existing in real life. The Vision one is inspired from Peruvian ayahuaska ceremony.



Contact :

Draenei : Sanara (main shaman), Elloa (organisation).
Dwarf :
Troll : Unathi, Shrogan
Orc : Maazguul
Tauren : Haen ( ?)

Furborlg (A) : Mandarath
Ogre (A) : Braiden



PRE event :
Elloa will wander in Kalimdor Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon/night. You can contact me IC if you wish to be part of this event.




I really hope to see many of you ! Low lvl alt are also welcome ! To RP an Ogre you need to be 51 and have the ogre costum craftable (need to be send in your mail box, because you can only have 1 in your inventory at time). To RP a furlborg, you have to possess the special staff.

I’ll also try (would be my first one) to make a movie out of this event.

Would be more than happy to join on my shammy unless something unexpected shows up -

Little bump! Hope this idea interest a lot of players and guilds, such as Orc of the Red Blade, or Gurubashi Empire.

I personaly like the ideas of having a peacefull cross faction event. So please do not be shy to share your advice. And if you do not like the idea, please tell me so aswell

A nice idea Elloa, I know that the Darkspear tribe along with some Orc roleplayers have been perplexed as to the origins of these earthquakes, we even discussed a shamanistic ritual like you just propsed.

In short, it's possible I can bring a handful of my Shamans, and perhaps convince some Orcs to stop by with us, barring our RP campaign has ended by your due date.

Warm regards,
Unathi <The Darkspear Tribe>

Awsome ! i'll create the event on one of my horde character and will make you moderator !

You should already know what Shaman will be leading the Draenei, Elloa! But I'm going to suggest myself anyway!

heh, I can't impose you anything So was waiting to see your reaction on forum. My character will ask your character in game when she come back from her expedition.


I've created the event on both side. Please spread the word arround you, specialy on horde as I'm not active there.

No one want to RP Wildhammer shaman ?

I might be aviable to attend on my orc shaman, provided im aviable to dust him off and find him a propper outfit! >_>
That said, Merandil, aren't your draenei kinda.. Hateful, towards orcs? Last time we had a peaceful event (Many months ago, at Oshu'gun) you flew at us without provocation. :p
That said, IC is IC, but it'd be a shame to see an event like this get turned into a bloodbath.

Edit: If there's a great need for Wildhammer shamans and no one else is up to the task, I guess I could turn my dwarven maniac Hops into a Wildhammer shaman for some time! Just require an outfit and some read ups. (This should really fall to someone who fancies RP'ing a wildhammer shaman after cataclysm though! So I'll just be back-up)

@Elloa: I'll invite as many of my guild's shamans as I can, as well as any others I can get a hold of.

@Rarg: That was because you were all gathering up outside Telaar, when a bunch of Orcs do that it's usually to attack - Onelu didn't see fit to tell anyone ICly of her plans, so the event was pretty haphazard.

yeah well, I'll be certain to say IC that it's supposed to be peacefull

As you said Rarg, if I spoke about Wildhammer dwarf shaman, it's more to give the opportunity to those who want to Rp a dwarf shaman in cata to be present. there is not really any need for it, but i'd have find it cool.

I've changed the date due to Shrogan series of events. Now it will be the Thursday 18 nov at 20h.
Please, continue to speak about that event arround you.

I really would like to see different tribe to join with thir shaman leaders !

I can provide lots of [Gordok Ogre Suit]s for those who want to RP an ogre shaman.

*sudden want to play Ogre rising*

Oh how friggin awesome to play ogre, if I can attend I would deffinently want to play an ogre. *Calls dibs*

okay, but then I need someone to organise a mini shamanic tribe of ogre !

Most ogre tribes in Azeroth have shamans (afaik), it's just a matter of thinking of a tribe (or a couple of individuals) that would be peaceful enough to send representatives.

Sadly I just noticed that the ogre suit is lvl 55 minimum and I dont have chars over that level, tough I totally aprove of the ogre idea. There's also the Wildhammer dwarves that could be into it tough, might look into that.

Easier way to have a char ready with the right lvl could be the dk trick ^^

Oh yeah slipped my mind totally but I could do that provided I can attend

Anyhow in that case in addition to the current playable shamanistic races there is the following that could be RPd I could think of:
* Furbolgs (using Dartol's Rod of Transformation)
* Wildhammer Dwarfs (Any dwarf with the proper gear)
* Ogres (using the suit mentioned earlier).

I could take it upon myself to fiddle a little with the Ogre part as soon as I know if I can attend. I would love to see Dwarf and Furbolgs too.

The furlborg I've nice RP reason to ask to the Ashpine tribe. That was my intention.

Dwarf no one suggested themselfs. I really hope we will have some

Still trying to find Tauren Shaman. It's proving difficult! :<
I'll find some, though. Eventually...

There will be alow level tauren shaman running about soon, if you want i can all ways prod you on that toon?

Yes just give me or Haen the name of your new character !

I'm also a bit surprised oncerning the fact we have not a single dwarf. Really no one want to role play a wildhammer?

will do.

It would be great if you could keep the meeting somewere close to a mailbox since I'd need new suits all the time if I can come and theire unique. Just as a sidenote.

I had firstly though about a place in Stonelaton Montain, on top of Sunrock retreat. But there is certainly better place.

Any suggestions ?
