The Shadowforge Craft Festival

The seasonal Craft Fest is back once again looking for vendors and entertainers! With the ceasefire engaged, members of the Alliance AND Horde are welcome to gather in the commons of Blackrock Mountain, in the heart of Shadowforge City for the second ever Shadowforge Craft Fest!

What: The hard-working Dwarven clans of Khaz Modan, as well as other denizens of Azeroth, wish to host an artisan’s festival to honor centuries of fine dedication to masterful craftsmanship! This will be the Summer installment in this seasonal event, so come and embrace the various cultures of our world!

Not a Dwarf or Alliance? No problem! All are welcome to join! Bring plenty of Elixirs of Tongues!

When: Saturday July 18th, 2020, 6-9 PST. Opening ceremonies will take place outside the entrance to Upper Blackrock Spire at 6pm.

Where: The Inner Ring of Blackrock Mountain, aka. Shadowforge City!

Contacts: You can message Lynae, Bathildis, Lissianä or Modarin in game at any point, or send your request via in-game mail! We can also invite you to our Discord channel or in-game community!

What you can do: As a visitor, you are welcome to roam around the festival grounds, enjoy the night atmosphere and some good casual RP! Come by and shop around, purchase fine goods from master craftsmen and women around the city or submit work orders. Enjoy great entertainment, fireworks, drink, and food! Even register to participate in any sub-events we may have (like a drinking contest or friendly duels).

As a vendor, you can register for a booth to show and sell your wares! We like to spread everyone out along the inner ring of Blackrock Mountain, allowing tons of space for different players to form small gatherings. Blacksmiths, engineers, scribes, even chemists and cooks are welcome!

If you can craft something, wish to take on an apprentice, or teach your trade, you can register. Don’t worry, there are no fees or anything! We just want to keep track of how many people want to fill this position. Please get your booth approved beforehand!

As an entertainer, you can claim a spot to put on your act. Whether you are a bard, have a show, or wish to provide games for others to play, you’re welcome to fill this role! We usually have a bard wandering around the festival playing actual music using addons like TRP3 Extended and Musician, so this is really just limited to creativity.

We definitely plan to spread you guys out so that you’re not being overwhelmed by RP chatter, so it’s very important that we get you set-up in a spot early!

If you don’t want to do any of these things, but wish to be a part of the festival, you are welcome to volunteer to help out where/when it is needed. If you wish to get involved in organizing the event, please contact Lynae, Lissianä or Bathildis in game! I look forward to hearing from you!

PS: If you use the addon TRP3 Extended, you’ll also be in good company at this event. We’ll have special wares available (Bathildis has a full bar, as well as a limited edition Festival Brew), as well as at least one bard playing live music throughout part of the event.

If you are interested in signing up as a vendor, entertainer, or volunteer, please fill out a registration form! Though we don’t update the list daily, spot selection is handled in the order that forms are received.

Current and Tentative Vendors (Plus contacts):

A - The Cask ‘n’ Anvil tavern from Ironforge is bringing it’s famous clan platters! H - Fence Macrabe is bringing Undead Curios!

Passing the Torch

Deep within the mountain known to all as Khaz, buried deeper still within in the bustling Dwarven capital city of Ironforge, many of the city’s denizens slept.  In the wee hours of the night, the night-shift laborers had all but taken over the streets which were only hours earlier crowded and alive.

The Mystic Ward, with its magnificent temple and ever-shimmering azure Pool of Reflection that made up the symmetrical center of the open plaza, was one of the few quarters of the city that enforced any type of curfew.  Because of this, it was deathly quiet.  Save for a few lost, drunken tourist wandering the wrong reaches of the upper-city, the caustic reflections of the pool danced to the distant echoes of hammersong from the Great Forge on the high stone ceiling.

Inside one of the quaint Dwarven apartments carved of the mountain’s very stone, a young Dwarven woman stared pensively at several objects laid out across an otherwise empty bed.  The bed itself was cozy enough.  It too was made from stone, covered in a thick, wool comforter tinged with a thin layer of dust from lack of use.  The sheets were made hastily, and it’s surface was rather wrinkled.  Atop the sea of greyish green fabric, a black leather-bound tome cracked with age, a tall stone-ware beer stein with an ornate pewter lid covered top to bottom in knicks and scratches, and a heap of well-worn amber-brown plate and chainmail armor lay in separate piles

Bathildis Ironstout had mourned the death of her father.  She had been mourning for hours.  Hours turned to days, and when she thought she had nothing left to give, she grieved some more.  Before she knew it, a week had passed, and sadness and denial made way for anger and bargaining.  She sat perfectly still, her slate-gray eyes traveling from object to object as she veiled her nose and mouth with cupped hands.  Alberich had left these three items behind for her, as was evident in a letter found within the book.

Ready for Brewfest (OOC)

Another OOC post!  Finally got around to finishing my first cosplay costume.  Move aside Midsummer Fire Festival.  Make way for the holiday that really counts!  BREWFEST!!!

The mask, necklace, and bodice details are all modeled and 3D printed.  I can’t really sew, so the rest is assembled from various parts.  I did manage to sew on the skirt-trim, though!

Looking forward to taking this to a convention soon!

Rat Bastard Tavern

The cost to enter is 10 gold, with a prize worth a minimum of 100 gold, including rare and hard to get in game items (this is the only part of the Harbor Games that is regrettably, WRA only).

After Parties

After the winners for each day are selected, at approximately 8pm server time, there will be an after party on both Saturday and Sunday for celebration of our newfound alliances, and of course, our winners! This will take place at the Amphitheater in Unity Square.
