The Darnassus Examiner

Citizens. Brothers and sisters. I have failed.

I have failed many times.

My first mistake was following blindly a leader, whose intentions might have been just, but whose choice of means was unreasonable. My subsequent mistakes were not questioning his words and actions at all. Considering how he mislead us… me… how can I believe everything else he imprinted on me? How do I know if my views are indeed mine?

As you have all probably noticed, the Circle of Darnassus is short two Elders. To fill the void after Calisar Ravencrest and Elhdras Winterleaf we are looking for one Kaldorei of interracial understanding and subtlety for the Seat of Diplomacy and another Kaldorei with the insight and astuteness to fill the Seat of Wisdom.

The Elder of Diplomacy is the Ambassador of Darnassus. If Darnassus has need of traveling to other countries and cities to bring up issues, it is the Elder of Diplomacy that is sent. The Elder of Diplomacy will be required to keep an active communication with the other races and create good relations with them. The Elder of Diplomacy also works alongside the Speaker with the Darnassus laws, and handles crime issues and trials.

The Elder of Wisdom is in charge of education and culture in Darnassus. Is expected to make frequent educational or cultural events for the Kaldorei and hopefully to invite other races to learn more of Kaldorei culture.

Considering the state of the realm we do not really have the luxury of time for lengthy procedures and endless discussions, so we will be holding elections for the two seats in three days on the next gathering of the Circle of Darnassus ((Monday, October 18 at 21.00 server time)).

Given the short notice we will deter from the requirements of written applications and instead encourage applicants to simply send word – written or oral – to any existing Elder or the Speaker. Come Monday all applicants will given an opportunity to present and promote themselves and their candidature.

Unless else is warranted the future Elders of Diplomacy and Wisdom will then be chosen by a simple majority vote among the Kaldorei present at the gathering.

We hope to see you there – either as applicant or as supporter and voter.

The Circle of Darnassus

The following report has been received from Sentinel Rynae Sorrowscream on events that passed in Winterspring.

Word reached us that strange Dwarven activity was spotted in Winterspring and even though this is not too uncommon, we also heard that loud explosions where coming from near the Owl Wing Thicket where an altar to our Goddess rests. We quickly gathered a small group containing Sanaje Skyshadow, Adelaine Nightchill, Rynea Sorrowscream and Mirael Shadowheart.

Once we arrived at Winterspring, we first headed to the Dwarven camp, Dun Mandarr. The camp was destroyed again and there was evidence that the Owlkin from the Thicket were responsible. We now believe they attacked the camp to defend the altar itself. We quickly headed there and noticed numerous Dwarven tracks along with many Owlkin ones and at the Thicket itself a gruesome picture was displayed for us.

Most of the defending Owlkin were slaughtered and we found evidence of mining activity in the caves. But all of the horror was nothing compared to what we found next. The altar dedicated to our beloved goddess Elune was in ruins. The stone had numerous slashes on it from smaller weapons and it seems in the end some bolts were forced into the stone to slowly crack it and with all of the abuse in the end the altar gave in.

The area was surrounded by Dwarven tracks but no actual Dwarf was found nearby. Later in Everlook, Skyshadow spoke to the flight master who told her of a small group of Dwarves who arrived in Winterspring before. She seemed  to have recognized one of their description.

The report raises some rather important questions and the Dwarves has some very elaborate explaining to do. One can only speculate as to the motives for this desecration, but I would not be surprised if this was reprisal for the alleged kidnapping of Senator Gogól Irondawn.

If the evidence speaks the truth, it would seem we need to discuss the permissions for future Dwarven presence in Kalimdor – or revoking thereof.

What we are about to report here, may be the most troubling news, we have ever had the misfortune to bring. It proves not only the delusions of grandeur firmly rooted in the hearts and minds of the lesser races, but also the unfailing certainty that these inferior races cannot be trusted to stay loyal to any agreements – even those initiated by themselves.
