Emissary of the Moon - Kaldorei waystation in Stormwind

Stormwind... we came, we saw, we drank your rum (and witnessed a murder or two) was great Now that our campaign in Stormwind is over, a few of us Kaldorei want to maintain these links on a more permanent basis.

So, a suggestion:

Ongoing event: Embassy of the Moon

Initially a waystation for travellers and safe house for those persecuted by the local authorities to be set up in Stormwind. A piece of home abroad offering shelter and hot food to city weary Kaldorei. Could also be used as spying/intelligence posts and as a hub for scholars to study local libraries etc.

If it can be agreed with SW, the waystation would eventually become a full functioning Embassy. Much like real embassies, the location would classify as Kaldorei land, so all local law would stop at the doorway. And here I'd like to know what the local SW guard/military guilds think of this?

Of course diplomatic relations would be necessary with the locals, and they would probably request a similar embassy to be set up in Darnassus. Sentinels would not be allowed within to enforce the law there either. A difficult pill to swallow, but necessary. A toe-hold for SW guilds in Darnassus in return.

Opens the door to various cross-guild RP scenarios like Embassy balls, encounters with the local law forces, etc. Also acts as an excuse for xenophobe types to head to other cities (tour of embassy duty, rp’ing a messenger/guard, etc). Again this would be an ongoing event, built on the strength of who actually would want to be involved and whether other guilds are receptive.

Bear in mind Nature's Grasp is not -moving- to Stormwind, we're still Darnassus based. But this could be a basis for ongoing RP between the cities. any feedback or suggestions for locations would be great.

Maybe I should change the title of this thread to 'LF Stormwind natives'?

Not really a stormwind official or such, but i like the idea. I think it would make some interesting RP, plus the use of diplomatic protection.

I think this should go live, come and drink more rum!

I can't see why this would be turned down at all. I guess you'll need to await the word from some people that actually RP characters with near'ish the power to give you an answer :p

I'd be in favour of a diplomatic outpost from Darnassus in Stormwind. However, as leader of one of the Guard guilds, I would not be in favour of Stormwind law stopping at the door.

That's how they work though.

Exactly. An Embassy is an Embassy. But we all know how much Stormwind cares for international laws and guarantees.. *cough*Ambassador Tuomas of Gilneas*cough*

I feel that no-one of Guard guilds or the Minister of Justice do approve the idea that they can not act beyond those limits IC, so getting it through will require good diplomacy from your part.

I guess it is half of the fun.

Or a a bribe, that works too.

When we had the old Dwarven embassy, Stormwind had absolutely no power within it's walls.

Why this would be any different is a little beyond me

I think it sounds like a good idea.

Ebon embassy plox :p

Shush, Lex. The Dead have no rights!

Elves or undead.... I vote elves.

Exactly would not expect it to be agreed upon straight away, hence the waystation idea until it is. Handy to know there has already been a Dwarven precedent set though.

Is there a list of people somewhere, or could anyone volunteer suggestions of people we should track down IC about this? I'm guessing some kind of visit to a SW council would be worthwhile too.

ALL THE REAL NATIVES WILL BE FOUND IN MINER'S STREET(Dwarven district). TO HELL WITH FOREIGNERS

Preach it brotha.

I would say we elves need to contact indeed the SW council. It's a must basicly.

Also house of the Nobles could be good, IC vice. This is diplomacy after all.

Uhm, rum...could we bring our own Moonberry juice?

Of course Kaldorei law starts from our doorstep! This is our EMBASSY! Come and TRY! *writing orders to Sentinel division*

Hear hear

Um yeah, after all that ruffling the furs...Let's have a ball And other fun things too

Maybe the Council?
Or Braiden and other authority figures. I am unsure of their activity however. Since I'm mostly on Horde/Pandaria recently.

I like this idea though I'm wondering how will this work on the other side of things? I.e, who will be setting up the details of those from Stormwind setting up an embassy in Darnassus as the Circle has not been active in a while which I suppose was the closest thing to the Stormwind Council.

As I see it Natures Grasp doesn't have authority to do such so perhaps to make even more roleplay there could be some sort of open event in Darnassus to discuss this?

We still have an embassy in SW, we moved it to the Hunter trainer in Dwarven District. (Though since so many buildings are shared and used, we are not alone using it).

I say go for it.

I like this idea a lot On my part at least, welcome to Stormwind

Yep an open event is certainly doable, and I'll post details on here for it so anyone can come along, the embassies will take a while to set up so we'll likely push on with the waystation idea in the meantime.
