Alive with life, the insects sounded their chorus while owls let their soft hoos loose here and there. Moonlight dappled through the leaves. The broad, cool leaves of the underbrush stroked her thighs as she passed through them.

Ashenvale was eternal, in a way. The forest was more than just trees, but it was also a monument. An unshakable pillar of the world that had stood for...how long? Thousands, tens of thousands of years? Certainly far longer than Tarana had been alive, longer than anyone she knew. It predated the Sundering. It predated even the Kaldorei Empire itself. And yet...untouched.

Or largely untouched, she found herself thinking. This was no place where the trees had been felled, but there were hints here and there. Scars upon the earth where the Warsong Clan had left their mark. Fallen trees…

No.

She took a grip of a passing branch, and curled her fingers around it. The bristly leaves poked into her palm, bringing forth discomfort and pain. Something grounding. Something to remind her where she was, something to make her feel alive. She examined her palm once she released the plant. Purple dots on her hand showed the points where the plant had defended itself against her.

She couldn’t help but find that comforting in a way. Perhaps it was just the number of times she had done this same thing before--the number of times where she had needed a reminder, and the sensations of the world had provided, no matter if they were somewhat unpleasant. The direct bite of a thorn was certainly preferable to the lingering malaise of an uncomfortable memory, or the distance accompanying withdrawal from the world.

Glancing about, she recentered herself, putting herself on the right track again, following a familiar path through the woods. This path had changed innumerable times throughout her life, sometimes immeasurably over the course of many visits, and sometimes all at once in the time of her absence. This was one such occasion in which she found new mysteries as she walked: berries along the path, small flowers in open bloom, a stag trail...these things constantly shifted, they constantly evolved.

There was so much life in these woods.

Then there was its end...one landmark that never shifted. The massive tree, branches high up in the canopy, but a clever climber could make her way up if she so wished. Borrowing shortcuts from other trees, she could sling herself up, high enough to find knots in the thick bark that served as handholds, and then before she knew it, she would find herself at the tree’s crown, a nest where the branches curled out.

And, in these branches, Tarana would always have her perch. A perfect limb that she could nestle into, and from there, she could look out over the tops of all the trees.

And then Ashenvale was hers.

She glanced across the crown, eyes focusing on another such spot, one that felt uneasily empty. She let out a soft sigh, then stood up to her feet again, balanced carefully on the branches. She lifted a vial from her belt, and unclasped the stopper, before holding it at arm’s reach ahead of her. The water inside shimmered with comforting blue light.

Then, she swung it out, the water dispersing into fine mist, cascading upon the leaves. And she took a seat, collecting a flask from her bag.

“Therinan, to you,” she murmured, taking a sip from it. The sweet moonberry juice passed easily past her lips and down her throat. “Happy birthday.”

It would never be quite the same without him.]]> Under nightfall, Tarana roamed her old hunting grounds--the woods of Ashenvale.

Kretol; if this is in the wrong forum, please move it where you see fit.)

We invite you to the launch of The Naga Inn, a World of Warcraft private roleplaying server that combines WotLK's core features with some upcoming additions to enhance your roleplay experience.  We'll mainly focus upon catering to the aging WoW crowd, blending a relaxed roleplay environment that still sanctions grittier themes that Azeroth can present. If you're the type that loves roleplay but doesn't take things too seriously and are looking for less "edgy" themes, you might have a home here.  Still, everyone is welcome no matter what style they favor!

With little to no bugs remaining in this version of WoW, we want to utilize what already works and combine it with a moderated and rewarded roleplay scene. As time goes on, expect new features to be added as we learn and grow together.  Aside from introducing some proper gold sinks in the future and tiny tidbits suitable for enhancing roleplay, will be no over-the-top promises of gamebreaking "systems" that deliberately overlook the core game.

[Image: 4ZZht6G.png]
In order to build our community of players and keep to the spirit of the original game, The Naga Inn is a PVP enabled server that invites players for OOC/IC leveling, raiding with friends and exploring a working, fully functional emulated environment. Our staff quickly moves to resolve any broken quests or instances as they come up! However, to make things fun we have increased the standard rates, letting players get to level 80 in a fraction of the time it would normally take on retail. The breakdown can be found below - 

Leveling, rep, skill gains, etc: 10x
Drop rate: 10x
Gold rate: 5x

Quote:
  • Enforced Roleplay World - No OOC in /say, /yell, or /emote beyond briefly correcting yourself in brackets, private channels (including guild), and zone channels. There are no malls or ooc areas, either.
  • Rewards for hosting events - We want players to be proactive and be rewarded for it!
  • Working Blizz quests, classes, and systems - We're working with a polished WoW core with little-to-no bugs. Whether you're taking a break from RP to enjoy the game, or utilizing the game's features as part of your character, you shouldn't hit any snags. (And if you do, let us know!)
  • An Economy - We will be introducing lots of gold sinks and incentives to utilize WoW's default currency into our server. Even with the higher drop rate, we will work to make sure there's incentive for characters to work, craft, hunt, and trade their way towards their financial goals.
  • Transmogrification - You wanna have some priest raid tier that looks like the Twill Set? Go make some raid tier that looks like the Twill Set.
  • In-Character Guilds - We don't take applications for guilds, but we will make sure they're IC.
  • Cross-Faction - Everyone is familiar with this in the WoW private server community. Where would we be without it? Retail, that's where.
  • World PVP - Engage in the thrill of barfights, streetfights, or just accidentally hitting someone with an ice missile without that pesky faction in the way.
  • We have lots more planned, so watch for announcements!

One offs, long storylines, in games, over Skype, whatever. I'm that starved.

Roleplaying is something rather new for me, I never got to play here for more than a few months with a few friends I made. I'm a bit awkward with it but I try my best. Basically I'm a complete amateur and I don't want to mislead anyone with expectations. Also my availability is shitty at best, either I RP all day everyday and barely sleep or I don't for months with little warning. (sorry celen and kyth)

I never intentionally go for ERP, I just tend to get dragged into it. I don't know why, I've never been looking for it but if it happens it happens. So whatever floats your boat with that, just please tell me OOC if you don't want it to happen between characters because ehem. All the OOC gender and whatever gender your character is never mattered to me.

With OOC things I'm all for getting to know each other and that. But if I don't get along with anyone for any reason I've succesfully Rp'ed with people with barely talking OOC at all. So I won't spam your Skype/steam/whatever for months just for RPing a one off, I can handle that. Most times.

Settings I'd like to RP:

Anything Warhammer 40k, I'd even play a servo skull if I had to. I just love the setting and will fangirl/boy/gender/nongender for hours about it if you bring it up.

Medieval settings/high fantasy - Warcraft and likewise. Haven't done any non fantasy medieval so I would love to do that too.

Norse RP - Trudvang style, Nordic folklore and vikings.

I don't exclude anything though, you have an idea for a setting then I'd love to at least try playing in it.

Hello there! I'm from Greece, 27 y.o, been RPing in TTRPGs/PnPRPGs for 12-15 years and in MMOs for the past 3. I haven't RPed much in WoW however I find it exciting.

What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:
I'm from Greece, as mentioned above, thus the language is Greek.

How did you find us? Did anything in particular draw you to the community?:
A google search on "WoW RP private servers" did the trick.

As we are a roleplaying community, what kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:
Fantasy settings mostly. However I did like SWTOR RP untill recently. I do prefer the traditional dice rolls and elaborate emoting systems however I can adapt to whatever as long as it interests me.

What sorts of games do you generally play? Tell us a few of your favorites!:
My favorite game is and will be Final Fantasy 8. However, in my top 5 list apart from FF8 are NWN, NWN2, HoMMIV and Morrowind

What are your expectations of this community?:
I have no expectations yet. Once I get to know you people, we can speak of this again.

Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our community, which appeals to you the most?:
I'd say Seperate IC/OOC at all times. I've seen many a good RP communities destroyed out of such trivial things.

Show off some of your roleplay skills with a story, if you'd like!:
If I get to know you, I would be more than happy to post an attempt of an english-translated short story of mine.

Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:
I am loyal. To the end. However, if you try and betray this loyalty in any way I will do my worst. I strongly believe in "Don't do to others what you don't want done to yourself" so that's always something to keep in mind.
I'm coming off quite strongly usually but I'm fairly level headed and friendly.
That would be all. Thank you.]]> First and foremost, tell us about yourself as a player/roleplayer/gamer:
