PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

There is conflict in the Barrens, and in Ashenvale, and in many other lands beyond. We all know it -- the AAMS knows it entirely too intimately. The problem stems from settlements made and defended by the armies of both the Horde and the Alliance; the armies of Hellscream and Wyrnn. Each side sees these fortresses and camps as encroachment on lands rightfully theirs.

But here is the truth we all know: we who serve privately, we who are of guilds and tribes and corporations, cannot undo these settlements. We can remove neither those of our native faction nor those of the other. The armies of Hellscream and Wrynn will march, build, and defend whether we aid them or oppose them. We cannot change their behavior. We can only govern our own.

The AAMS therefore offers a different channel for the energies of both factions. Too many peaceful settlements have vanished from the map while we fight over military encampments. Towns lie in ruins in all the territories contested, untended by both factions that seek to claim the land the wreckage stands on. And those ruins remain no matter how many warbands throw themselves against the gates of Fort Triumph or Hellscream's Watch, as surely as Fort Triumph and Hellscream's Watch themselves will remain, will you or no.

Monday evening, the AAMS will rebuild a ruined town. Camp Taurajo is a burned shell home only to bodies and scavengers. The former we will inter with all due rites; the latter we will disperse. We invite any -- Horde or Alliance -- who wish to set aside arms and build instead of destroy to join us for an evening.

This is not another tavern night. This is not another weekly chance to meet and greet and exchange pleasantries or idle threats. It is a chance to build a community, if only for an evening. Volunteers from both factions have already come forward, promising to join us as blacksmiths, as vendors, as cooks and as priests and as beggars in the street -- as people, citizens of a town that never was, but may yet be again, if only for an evening.

All are welcome. We will encourage and aid and support any enterprise that wishes to find a home in Taurajo. Translators will be present to help all the races communicate. This is your chance to be something more than the hand on an axe. Whatever you dreamed of being -- schoolteacher, poet, priest, shopkeep -- come to Taurajo and be it.

If only for a night.

Yours in Service,

((THE OOC PARTICULARS

Most of this event should hopefully be clear from the in-character post. Monday night at 7:00 PM server time the AAMS (both branches) will be setting up shop in the Ruins of Taurajo, which is the burned-out village directly east of the Great Gate between the Southern Barrens and Mulgore.

The area is populated by level 30ish "Taurajo Looters" that are not PvP flagged or factionally aligned. We'll kill them off, and the respawn timer is generously long, about ten minutes or so, but low level players should still be aware that there's some risk here.

What we hope to do is turn it into a working town, just like the hubs where we pick up quests. The AAMS itself is small -- we're inviting other roleplayers to come be enterprising settlers, launching any business they please for the evening. Some of the ideas we've had floated so far:

A "Trade Goods Vendor" all stocked up on the same things the NPC versions sell.

A "restaurant" set up around a Basic Campfire, with "menus" created as copes of in-game letters.

Various tradespeople selling crafted goods -- anything you can bring. Be the town armorer, jeweler, whatever your skill happens to be.

Schoolteachers offering lessons, or priests pitching sermons -- to a captive, or at least present, audience of both factions (the AAMS will translate)

"Volunteer constables" keeping the respawns down. Perhaps a Chief Constable from each faction, with a few deputies?

Getting to Taurajo can be challenging. An enterprising warlock could do a good business as the first portal service in town...

You can even be a questgiver. Find something that drops in the area you think your character would want a stockpile of, and send people out to get it for you. Or just tell them to kill quillboar for your amusement -- and for your gold.

We're happy to help with everyone's ideas, so if you have a concept but aren't quite sure how to go about it, feel free to let us know OOC. We'll help work out the details and make sure you have what you need. And more than anything, the town needs people strolling the streets and visiting the different shops and schools and homes -- so even if you don't want to play a role, come by and see the sights!

Horde and Alliance are welcome. We'd prefer that people not flag up -- conflict's not a problem, but there are too many interpretations of what "being flagged" means for it to make comfortable RP. We'd rather avoid the confusion if we can.

And there's your event. Don't you all say there's no RP on this here server. We'll see you in Taurajo!))

Plainswander read the notice..... then walked off shaking his massive head. To think the AAMS was setting up a market stall in the ruins of the very town they were founded in. It was shameful, is what it was. Any alliance who "set up shop" in Camp T were going to get a nasty surprise.

((OOC: I think this is a BRILLIANT idea actually, I can't wait to see it, and I dearly hope it's still running by the time I'm able to log on, but yeah, just because of where it is, and who Plains is, and who Plains is guilded with, I'm going to have to cause trouble ... also: history, the very first AAMS guild meeting? Was held in Camp Taurajo.))

Vasila was at the AAMS office early that morning. She had paperwork to catch up after being off for so long. She still had numerous restrictions up her, but at least she was able to get caught up on the filing.

She was surprised that the office was abuzz with activity so early. "What is going on, Verogoth?" she asked, as he rushed by carrying a stack of papers.

Handing them to Casta, one of the twins recently hired by the AAMS, he turned and replied, "Ms. Aeldgyth has implemented a new initiative in the Barrens and other parts of Azeroth. We've got to get these notices out to everyone we can and make preparations for the event."

"I see," said Vasilia, nodding. "Mind if I have a look at one of those hand outs?"

"Not at all Ma'am, they're hot off the press!"

As Vasilia read the announcement about Ms. Aeldgyth's attempt to revitalize the abandoned Camp in the Barrens, almost as if on que, Aeldgyth herself walked into the office.

Vasilia re-read the announcement and followed Aeldgyth into her office.

"Good to see you here in the office Vas. There should be lots for you to do this week." commented the gnome, pouring herself a cup of coffee.

"Yes Ma'am, it would seem there is a lot to do. I'm just getting myself up to speed on your new project in the Barrens. Do you think I might be...."

"OUTSTANDING COFFEE Mr. Verogoth," Aeldgyth yelled out the door, interrupting her.

"Thank you Ma'am" Verogoth replied, from out of sight.

"Now, I know what you're going to ask Vasilia," started Aeldgyth as she hopped up into her chair, "and before you go ahead and do, I will let you know that I have already made a decision."

"You have Ma'am?" said the surprised Vasilia.

"Yes. Unfortunately, in light of the recent issues involving you, the Horde Army, Ishnu Por Ah and the Barrens, your services will not be required at Campt Taurajo during the event. In fact, you are not allowed to step foot into the Barrens, or any Horde Territory for that matter, until further notice."

"Yes Ma'am..." replied Vasilia, trying not to show how disappointed she was.

"There will be plenty for you to do while we are out of town, Vasilia." added Aeldgyth, "so if you will get these requisitions filed right away it will be of great help." she finished, handing over a stack of papers.

"Yes Ma'am, right away." Replied Vasilia, taking the files and retreating out of the office.

((OOC: It is too bad I wont be in attendance. I had hoped I could meet the famous Mr. Plainswander for myself and shake his hand as one of the founding members of the AAMS. Hearing a few stories about how the company started and grew would have been an excellent way to spend the evening! Maybe I could have even heard the AAMS legend about the kitten delivery in the Molten Core! But, alas, those conditions of my suspension have yet to be lifted. I hope everyone enjoys themselves though!))

"Waaaait? That's a Monday right?" Ehlina asked to the messager.

"Yes maam" the courier nodded

"Whooops."

She then shrugged

"I'll just have to write up an apology afterword"

To the AAMS,

While I commend your attempts to try and create a place of peaceful coexistence between the people of Azeroth, I am very disturbed by your choice of location to do such a thing.

First off, the former Camp Taurajo is in the middle of a warzone. Alliance troops surround it, their encampments both to the east and west of the destroyed village having their weapons pointed straight at Mulgore. All around, north and south of it, Alliance and Horde still skirmish. And, of course, there are our engagements which take place regularly. And while based on these facts we will not do anything to actively disturb your efforts, I cannot guarantee any ensuing battles will not affect your “village”.

And then there is my second concern. One, I suppose, more personal. Do you have the right to create such a thing upon the freshly ‘marked’ graves of what was once a largely Shu’halo community? The mourning period is still ongoing. The Earthmother has not yet smoothed over the scars, the remains not yet reclaimed by nature. And the battles surrounding Camp Taurajo’s remains are further proof of this. Rebuilding so soon risks disturbing the safe travel of the souls lost there and the noise of it may call them back too soon and keep them from their rightful place in the land of our Ancestors. Are you truly willing to risk disrespecting and desecrating our people in this way?

“We cannot change their behavior”. These words ring badly. You are telling me that no one should fight in what they believe in if the opposition is too great? You are telling me that I should not react when armies raze my homeland. That we should just let the tyrants rule over us? That I should not speak out against my Chief when he asks me to do something against Por Ah’s will? That a small band of Tauren cannot destroy a dwarven compound. That the actions of a few people cannot change the mind of a depressed and sniveling orc by a campfire so that he may become a future Warchief?

Earthmother guide you
Red Earth of the Blackhide

Dear AAMS....

Recently y'all got a latter from Miss Red sayin' we wouldn't actively cause trouble with yer project.

I'm writing ya another ta say "THE FEL WE WON'T".

You ain't got yer alliance staff and "friends" outta Camp T by the time Ah gits there, there's GONNA be some. That land ain't proper fer business yet. And it won't be till us Shu'Halo say it is.

Kindest Regards
Archdruid Plainswander

TO: Redearth, Ishnu Por Ah
FROM: Andelia Windtouched, AAMS

Respectfully,

I should clarify that Camp Taurajo is not "the" location that the AAMS has selected for rebuilding; it is the first. Ashenvale will likely be next. After than, other lands that need healing will follow. We are not afraid to be grandiose in our ambitions for peace.

With that said, the conflict that rages around Taurajo -- and that decimated it -- make it, to my mind, the ideal place for a peaceful demonstration. I sincerely hope that our efforts will be visible to any bands that ride to war in the Barrens. They deserve the sight of a more peaceful life, even if they decline to be part of it.

Perhaps we will be harmed for this effort, even fail in it outright, overrun by armed opposition. It will not be the first time the AAMS has suffered. If the Ishnu Por Ah please to be part of a band that slaughters and empties Taurajo for a second time, you know perfectly well that we lack the strength of arms to prevent you. What will happen, will happen, as our gods will it and not we. But we will take the risk and hope for peace.

As to the spirits of the dead, we will do our best to inter any bodies that remain with due rites. I can hardly imagine that smoldering huts and wandering brigands have given their spirits much peace. The gods whisper closely in my ears; I will not do anything to offend their children. You may rest assured of that much at least.

And as regards the fortresses of the Horde and the Alliance, I do truly believe that they will stand so long as you throw yourself against them. Walls are built to keep warriors out; so long as there are warriors, the walls will be rebuilt. When we turn away, and part around the fortresses like a flowing stream, then the walls will crumble from neglect and disuse.

The Barrens are vast and living, if harsh in places. If you choose to live on a battlefield between Fort Triumph and Desolation Hold, it is not the Alliance that has stolen your lands. You have stolen yourself away from the greatest part of them.

We must all make the demonstrations we see fit. Many from both the Horde and the Alliance that we have spoken to believe that a living, peaceful town is a good and useful thing. They will join the AAMS in raising homes and giving shelter to the needy.

If you and yours believe the Barrens are better served by another night of harassing guardsmen -- or us -- you know that the AAMS will still stand by to serve when you have need of us. We hold no grudges and count no one with a free will to speak our enemies.

TO: Plainswander, Ishnu Por Ah
FROM: Aeldgyth Whistlespark, AAMS

Sir,

Miss Windtouched was good enough to forward me your brief communication. I'm afraid that my staff and I will be present at the Taurajo Renewal Project, excepting of course Miss Vasilia Starfallen, who I am still restricting to neutral territories for the time being.

I do feel compelled to point out the distinction between enterprise and commerce, however, which you were no doubt well aware of in your own time as leader of the AAMS. Our goal is to build a community in the Barrens, not a market -- I will be just as happy to see citizens strolling under the moon and composing poetry as I will to watch blacksmiths vend their wares. In fact, I know of at least one woman who plans to do just that on Monday.

If you feel that the land belongs to the Shu'Halo, I encourage you to do something for it. Looters do still roam the ruins of Taurajo, and may cause trouble for us -- if it is your wish to fight for your land, I could use a cross-faction constabulary to keep the streets safe for the less military-minded. We'd be grateful for your help. Miss Windtouched would doubtless be happy to help coordinate.

But be there we will, peacefully, with our sleeves rolled back for hard work. No one has bothered to do anything for Taurajo until now. I am a great admirer of fine words, but I must take any claim to stewardship of a land that has been so sorely neglected with a grain of salt.

If you love the land, let us help it. You surely cannot argue that it is well-served as it stands.

Yours in Service,

Aeldgyth Whistlespark
Branch Manager, AAMS Alliance Branch

The Fel am I readin? First the issue with the courier, now the AAMS wants to come into OUR Land...and hold a bloody peace circle? Respectfully...go get your heads checked out. There is no way the Shu'Halo are going to allow this. Us Ishnu have declared war in the barrens, and you be fools to think I won't smite down any alliance inside it's geographical borders.

Red said the AAMS are off limits, and I'll agree with that, but this is a warnin to all you pinkies...

Vengeance is the birthright of the horde, as we told the Taunka in Northrend. We will have this vengeance if you step foot in our holy lands.

Well...I'm new in this outfit, so I guess it don't matter too much what I think. But way I see it, some folks are gonna have to figure out whether they love the Barrens and want to fix 'em, or just hate humans and want to kill 'em.

Reckon we'll see who goes which way on Monday. I'll be there, boss!

Anya rubbed the bridge of her nose, muttering softly. This was just getting better.

Yo, AAMS-

While I've bigger concerns the night of this...event, I'll still have eyes on the area.

If you really want to help, keep your boots off it. You've gone around poking enough beehives lately, do you really want to keep it up? Or are we really expected to believe you inviting the Alliance even closer to the gates of Mulgore is a move made in the interest of peace? How stupid do you think people are?

((Durnit, got other plans in-game for that time on Monday. Oh well!))

Andelia Windtouched,

Perhaps I am being a touch too ethereal. Perhaps you do not respect my faith enough to give it any credit? Well, then. Consider this? I do not know where you live or where you come from, Friend Andelia. But if quillboar came and razed your village, killed your family and friends, desecrated everything you hold dear, would you want any quillboar building their thorny homes on top your parent’s bones while you were still greaving their deaths?

It may not be THE location. But it is one you have chosen and a dangerous one. Not just from the warring factions which surround it, but from the bitter hearts of those that lost there. A number of people, largely Shu’halo, would take offense. People’s homes were destroyed and their loved ones died in Camp Taurajo, by the hands of Alliance. Their hearts are not yet settled and ready to accept healing just as the ash has not yet cleared. And now you are asking them to accept Alliance there?

Why is it that you think things should happen so quickly? That if you step in and sweep up the ash, everything will be just fine? Not all wounds can be magically healed in an instant. The pain in people’s hearts over what happened in Camp Taurajo has not yet left them. And seeing anyone, especially anyone who looks like Alliance, good intentions or no, tramping on their gravesite will not be looked upon with any kindness. Is that what you wish of your rebuilding? For it to be the salt upon their wounds?

As much as I applaud the neutral nature of the AAMS and their wish to be an example of peace among the people of Azeroth, your attempt at creating a peaceful village even for just one day in a place still such a fresh wound in people’s hearts and minds will only have them seeing you as siding with the enemy and allowing them to take over their mourned for lands.

I am asking you to have compassion for the pain these people feel.

Earthmother guide you
Red Earth of the Blackhide

TO: Redearth, Ishnu Por Ah
FROM: Andelia Windtouched, AAMS

Respectfully,

I am perhaps not as deaf to the word of the Earthmother as you may think me -- all gods speak with one voice, for those with ears to hear, and I know something of Her rites and rituals. I will be at Taurajo some hours early to see to the bodies and the spirits of the slain.

With that said, if your concern is for the dead of Taurajo, I encourage and implore you to lend me your aid. Another voice raised in sacred songs; another hand to scatter blessed herbs -- the land is surely wounded enough to warrant both our aids. There can be no better reassurance for you that the land is being well tended-to than to do it yourself. I am not so prideful as to think myself better-suited to the task than you, only better-suited than no one at all.

As to the rest, I cannot let needed aid be put aside because one small party would claim sole stewardship of the land. Taurajo has been neglected, and but for our announcement would be neglected and forgotten still; you cannot claim that any were interested in its ruins until the AAMS offered to lead the rebuilding.

Now that there is interest, I hope you and yours will come and do your pride justice. The AAMS is small, and can do little on its own. The might of the Ishnu Por Ah could do far more than we.

This is a rare chance to be true tenders of the land, not merely defenders of the forts Hellscream has built upon it. If you do not trust us to tend rightly, you must come and do so yourself. We are not too proud to follow an experienced example. But it would be grievous wrong indeed to drive away those who would help the land, and do nothing for it yourself.

I hope we will see you there.

From: Gileyne Felbells

I think what we have here is a complete and utter failure to comprehend the issue as it stands at present. I have been watching, with growing discontent, the current fiasco - as I feel no other term can possibly apply - that is brewing in the Barrens with your company. One that formerly, I had hoped would maintain some level of neutrality and respectable business practices, but one that I am constantly seeing little evidence of as the days go by, with further suggestions that things are only going to grow worse from here on out. This disturbs me greatly.

You claim to be a neutral party in a conflict - one that is sure to see more atrocity on both sides before it settles, I am sure - and then go through and support the military practices of one side in both deed (even those of a misguided employee), and then in spirit, by claiming they have any greater or better rite to the now devastated site of a Tauren settlement by creation of some petty town as if this will somehow make things better. Where is this neutrality? A truly impartial entity would have reprimanded an employee that would seek to risk it's status as truly neutral in a conflict. A truly impartial entity would let the various factions and sides battle it out and offer aid equally to both, while recognizing the claims of neither to the land being fought over.

I don't see this happening. What I see is continuing acts of extreme disrespect towards one faction. First by daring to defend someone that was actively supporting the military of one nation, and then by claiming to be acting as an 'agent of peace' by setting up shop on the site of a massacre as if this somehow makes things right.

You claim to be taking the appropriate measures to honor the dead - they are not your dead to honor. The spirits can be put to rest, but what of the memories of those that have survived the attack? What of the family of those that have died, of those that have lost their homes to the attack? Are they expected to just sit idly by, the memories and pain still fresh in their minds, while you not only support those that tore their worlds apart, but claim to work for peace? What comfort is that?

If you wish to truly be neutral in this, I implore you to back down. To stop this before you ruin your reputation further. Be truly neutral and stop getting involved in the conflicts and the aftermath. Do the job you have set out to do and foster communication, but by the Nether stop trying to influence things. You are doing more harm then good here, and fostering nothing but hatred. I realize how hard it is to do the things I'm asking you to do - I'm asking you to sunder your heart and turn a blind eye to the dead and wounded on the field as you pass through. To do nothing as innocent and hardened veteran alike fall under the blade. To watch things spiral down a path that may eventually, and perhaps can only, end in mutual destruction on both sides. It's something that I myself have found myself incapable of these past few weeks, but it is necessary if you wish to truly have any hope of being truly neutral in this.

If you cannot do this, then pick a damn side and stop pretending that you aren't a part of the politics of this war. You cannot hope to influence things from the sidelines in this and not breed ire. This path cannot lead to peace - the only way out, is through.

Light have mercy on our souls.

TO: Gileyne Felbells, Razortalons
FROM: Andelia Windtouched, AAMS

Respectfully,

Taurajo is the first of many projects. No doubt we will hear from angered kal'dorei when we attempt to rebuild settlements in Ashenvale as well. But we have heard from too many supporting voices, Horde and Alliance, to abandon the project to pacify a few.

It may well be that some extremists are too angered to be part of a peaceful project. We regret if we had any part in that. But large and notable organizations of both factions have committed to helping us rebuild Taurajo. That -- the bringing together of factions despite barriers of tradition and language -- has always been the goal of the AAMS.

We hope anyone who doubts our intentions will come to Taurajo themselves. There will be more than enough labor for everyone. And there is no better way to see that a thing is done the way you like than to do it yourself.

Yours in Service,

Andelia Windtouched
Communications Officer, AAMS Horde Branch

Andelia Windtouched,

And what, praytell, is the point of planting a seed in a place that will just be trampled on the moment you leave? That would be trampled even if you stayed with orc and tauren fighting human and dwarf? You think I am not tending to the land? The forest is still burning. I cannot plant a seed when the fire is still hot.

You are blind to what I have been telling you. How dare you accuse us of neglecting and forgetting Taurajo. It tells me you have absolutely no understanding of what I mean when I tell you the time is not right. It tells me you are not giving credit to the voice of those who are mourning. It tells me you consider our fight is not important. Taurajo has not been neglected. It is a symbol of why we fight. And will continue to be so so long as Alliance think they can just storm in and take land by force. You wish to bury that symbol. You wish to make us accept that it is alright for Alliance to just take what they want and the lives of those lost do not matter. Do not get me wrong. I am quite aware that that same attitude of taking exists on both sides of the line. My people have lived for generations as nomads because of others taking.

I am not fighting for Hellscream’s forts. I am fighting for my people. I am fighting for my family which is being threatened. We are defending our land from usurpers. And it is not only the Ishnu Por Ah who fight for the lands. And Ishnu Por Ah makes no claim of owning these lands solely. But it cannot be denied that these lands were peopled by the Tauren first. That the Horde live upon these lands as allies in peace with the Tauren. That the Alliance did not come bearing gifts to the Horde or the Tauren or any of the people who occupy the Barrens, Durotar or Mulgore. They came with weapons in hand and conquest on their minds. There are Horde all around the Barrens fighting everyday to remove the insurgents. Not just soldiers, but simply farmers and hunters. This land does not just matter to a small little band.

My greatest wish is that all the people of Azeroth, all of Earthmother’s Children, can live in peace, side by side and among each other. I would take any person, Tauren, Orc, Elf or Dwarf and welcome them to my house as an equal and a brother. I do not have hate for the cheesemonger in Stormwind simply trying to make a living. For the dwarven warrior standing watch at the gate of Ironforge. I do not wish dead the whole of the human race. I do not seek to conquer the world in the name of the Horde or the Tauren. I have sympathy for the elves to the north who have lost their homes to the war machine of the Horde and the mechanations of Deathwing. I am well aware that when someone succumbs to a final death by my hand or the hand of any others, that there is someone they may be leaving behind. I am surrounded by people who know that pain already and do my best to soothe their wounds. But I do not do it by telling them they have forgotten their loved ones.

I do not seek to take more from this world. I simply seek to know that I can tear down that big huge wall that hides the beautiful green plains of Mulgore that my people are now calling home. The day Alliance stops pointing their weapons at that wall is the day that Taurajo will be alive again. The day that you let a stranger beating his axe upon your door, threatening to kill your children while someone sings songs of peace through your window and simply let them have them have your children, is the day I will give up on Mulgore and the Barrens.

Stop making claims you care about Taurajo. You do not care how people feel about Taurajo. You only care about making a name for yourself under the banner of peace and song.

Respectfully,

I can hardly begrudge you doing what you think is right. Your counsel has been good and your friendship valuable to me in our past interactions. If we take different courses tomorrow, I doubt it will be because we hope for very different things.

Wherever your duty takes you tomorrow night, you know of at least one place where you may come and rest in peace. Perhaps I will see you there. Speaking as a private individual as well as in my role with the AAMS, it would gladden my heart.

I worry that neither of us do well with a pen in our hands. If my writing has offended you, I hope you will blame my education -- which has been scant -- and not my heart. I know I begrudge you nothing, nor hold anything but the highest regard for you and yours. I wish this great public scrutiny done with, that we may speak more words of passing frivolity and write less of weighty matters.

Perhaps if we all do our duty well, we shall soon see that peaceful day. The gods know, not I. Yet I remain, fondly,

Andelia Windtouched,

At this point I question the sincerity of your regard. My greatest disappointment in this has nothing to do with you putting yourself and others in the middle of a warzone which the Alliance created. But that you seem to lack respect for the Ways of others and do not have true empathy for those that mourn the dead. Which I find disturbing since it is my understanding you hold the learnings of a priesthood.

You are determined to carry on this event, then so be it. You will not see me tomorrow at your little village. I wash my hands of it and bear no responsibility for what occurs there.
