This forthcoming Friday, March 5th at seven o'clock Goblin Servo Time, the Commonwealth guild will host its third event to honor the people, contributions and history of smaller Alliance towns.  This time we'll be paying tribute to the lakeside settlement of Astranaar and the stalwart night elves who keep it safe from the neighboring Horde, deep in the scenic forest of Ashenvale!

It's about that time again, folks. Haven Secrets has returned! *muppetflail* YAAAAAAAAY!! ... ahem.

For those of you who aren't familiar with this glorious online event, it is simply this: Players oocly send me, E, secrets that are in your toons' pov. These secrets must be in picture format, as they would appear if they were sent to PostSecrets.

Why? Because it's fun, that's why. >:E

This forthcoming Friday, January 29th at seven o'clock Goblin Servo Time, the Commonwealth guild will host the second in its series of events to honor the people, contributions and history of smaller Alliance towns.  This time we'll be paying tribute to the brave residents of the creepy town of Darkshire, nestled deep in the shadowy reaches of Dukswood forest!

News of a *second annual* Fight Club is spreading fast! Is it one night only? Is it a new club? Nobody knows! But they do know anyone worth their salt will be at Fray Island on the third night of the week at 8 Bells evening. Bring your prettiest arm candy and pockets full of gold for betting, and of course, lots and lots of ale. Or if you think you can take it, throw yourself into the ring!

Word is, there's rules. Rules are:

1. Duels only. Gotta tap out if someone goes limp.

2. Only two people to a fight.

3. One fight at a time.

4. Pants and fists only. No weapons, no magic, no pets, no potions.

5. Fights will go on as long as they have to.

To the heros of the Horde!

Though the very walls of Icecrown Citadel now echo with the thunder of our own footfall I urge you to take your gaze away from that great black spire and turn it back to our Homelands! Look at what we have done, left our very homes and towns under the guardianship of younglings! Silithid runs rampant with bugs! Blackrock mountain overflows with fresh orcs! The Dragonqueen herself has once again risen from the ashes! The center of Azeroth even bubbles with evil! And who is left to hold back these earth shaking forces? Clumsy orcs! Flimsy Sin'dorei! And the Alliance!

I tell you now, if you value your honor you will not leave our homes barren and helpless for such dark forces to run rampant! Join me now and help us secure our lands from these evils that have been left unattended so we may have a home to return to once the Lich King has been finished for good.

With many apologies for being so late with the notice this year, Artisania will be hosting her Annual Winter's Veil Grand Tea at 2PM ST, Saturday, December 26, in Winterspring, at the little cabin by Starfall Village (I'll get a map up tomorrow).  Dress in your finest (hats and pearls optional) and come for tea, cake, and wishing one another happy holidays.

Horde and Alliance both welcome, despite the language barrier.  I would love to have a warlock around to help summon folks from distant places if possible.  Please feel free to bring your own cakes, cookies and beverages to share; I'll also be sure to have some on hand, and the folks from Fancy Cakes might do some catering as well.

Hope to see you there, and happy holidays to all!

This forthcoming Friday, November 20th at seven o'clock Goblin Servo Time, the Commonwealth guild will host the first of several events to honor the people, contributions and history of smaller Alliance towns.  The first event will pay tribute to the hardworking dwarves of Thelsamar in Loch Modan!

Calling all Honorable Shu'Halo and friends of the Pure Children,

The Elders of Thunder Bluff fail to hear the cries of the Ancestors and continue to allow the monstrosity of the goblin Zeppelin to remain docking at the Spirit Rise. All those who value our traditions and honor our pledge to the Earthmother, gather at the Spirit Rise at the third drumming after An'She's cresting.

We must make them hear us. We must make them deaf to the whispers of the Underworld.

Join me in preserving our people and our world.

The Spirit of Renewal will be hosting a Talent Show in Stormwind's Park district on Thursday, June 18th, beginning at 7pm, goblin servo time.  Anyone is invited to come out and show off their talents! Entries will be judged by the audience, so even if you haven't a talent to speak of, come out and participate.

Are you weary of well-to-do Northrend adventurers charging absurd amounts of money for simple merchandise at the auction house, because their time is just that valuable?  Do you cringe at the notion of paying several gold for a rudimentary cloth tunic or a few boxes of copper bars?  Would you like to buy higher-end imported merchandise without first consulting a goblin mortgage broker?  The Commonwealth Flea Market may have just what you're looking for!

A memorial service for Lorith Stonegarten will be held at 6:00 PM on Saturday the 16th in Kharanos.

Feel free to prepare a few words if you wish.  The floor will be opened to all to share and remember.

"Message from the Ranger General for you Marshall."  The courrior handed Huor the sealed scroll.

Huor slide his letter opener through the royal seal and unrolled the scroll.  His eyebrow began to twitch in great annoyance as he skimmed down the message.  "Damn that Brightwing!"  The marshall growled as he crushed the scroll between his rough hand.  "Now he'll have me playing babysitter to a bunch of nobles and commoners...To raise the moral of the kingdom...As if I haven't already enough to do as it is....Arrrggghhhh!"

March 28th:

The University of Kalimdor is proud to present Mr. Kaius Faltren, who, on Thirdmonth, Sixteenth at 7 PM Goblin Servo Time, will be hosting a lecture entitled "Zealotry:  From Crusade to Onslaught".  Interested students should look for Mr. Kaius at Brill, but prepare for a lengthy walk through dangerous territory.

The Great Hiatus is over and Pirate Fight Night returns to the shores south of Ratchet.  Come play pirate for a night of rum, dancing and good old fashioned hand to hand combat, all in the name of having a great time of course!  Captian Sheva Songbird and Lady Engl Knowlander will be present for your beverage and translation needs.

What: one night a month a once-upon-a-time pirate dusts off the deck of an abandoned ship moored in a cove just south of Ratchet in preparation for a fight night.  Folks of all skills, classes and affiliations are welcomed with open arms to spend the evening drinking, dancing and fist-only dueling in classic piratical form.

Where: Follow the road south of Ratchet until it opens into a clearing patrolled (poorly) by Southsea Pirates.  Off to the left you can see the red and black sails of the pirate ship.  Watch your step, you must board via the spire off the bow.

The University of Kalimdor is proud to present an interesting lecture by Apothecary Temius titled "Abomination Construction and You".  Interested attendees should meet at 8PM Goblin Servo Time at the entrance to the Royal Chambers in the Undercity.

News of a Fight Club is spreading fast! Is it one night only? Is it a new club? Nobody knows. But they do know anyone worth their salt will be at Fray Island on the second night of the week at 8 Bells evening.

On Sunday, the 18th of January, at 3 o'clock Goblin Standard Time, Razyel Windblade will be presenting a lecture on the History of the Elvish people, from their beginnings around the Well of Eternity to their current state.  The lecture will take place in Azshara, gathering first on the bridge between Azshara and Ashenvale.  Protection for those in need will be provided by the University.

 *A poster is tacked up in the local tavern, the writing on it looks quite desperate*

To any and all friends of the Sin'dorei and to those who despise un-death.

I am in desperate need of a cure for un-death. I know how big of a request this is but I am horridly sick of this life as a Death Knight, all the power in the world cannot make up for everything I've lost. I don't know what I can reward to the person who discovers a cure but if you do find it please... please I will do anything to get it. There are others like me who wish to return to a full life. But remember, it will not be too long before we are beyond hope.

You can't cure the scourge, but you can still save a few of us...
