On Thursday night, members of The Grim attended the Spring Kosh’harg event in Nagrand, hosted by the Thundering Hammer Clan. The event, held on the spring equinox, is to honor the Orcish clans and ancestors, though all Horde were invited. Grims in attendance included Commander Awatu, Syreena, Canai, Ruuki, Sunderpalm, Ishiki, Kogrona, Lunataure and Lilliana.
The evening started with a procession of guilds out of Garadar to Halaa. Each guild marched together on matching mounts, and called their words as they emerged from the gates of Garadar along the road lined with spectators. The Grim members rode wolves.
In Halaa, we enjoyed a feast of several dishes, including the bodies of the fallen Alliance who foolishly attacked us. As we ate, we listened to storytellers tell us tales of the Horde.
Next, we went to the Ring of Trials where we watched a Blademaster Contest where various members of the Horde fought each other for glory. After a few skirmishes in the stands, the fighting in the ring began. This included an exhibition round of a healing druid and warrior against a healing paladin and death knight. This round took so long, but finally, the warrior fell and then the druid, leaving the paladin and death knight the victors. A warlock won the tournament, and was awarded with a jeweled panther mount.
Finally, we traveled to Oshu’gun. We all gathered outside the mountain. The shaman among us were called forward, and went into the mountain, while the rest of us waiting outside in the rain. Finally, they came back out to cheers of (mostly) “For the Horde!” Shortly after, everyone went their separate ways.
((This was a cross-server Horde RP event hosted by the Thundering Hammer Clan and Riders of Eternity on the Feathermoon server. Sounds like it’s every year in the spring and in the fall. It was a lot of fun!))
