Dream’s Refuge is now fully operational. Several kaldorei and Gilnean refugees have come to this place to seek a respite from the harshness of Stormwind.
The Shadow of the Forest commits to ensuring that the people of Dream’s Refuge live in safety from the elements and in harmony with the people of Duskwood. We will remain present through the transition from City-to-Grove until the Sentinels commissioned to keep the peace and the elected leader of Dream’s Refuge take full control of the Refuge.
I would like to thank everyone who has donated gold, supplies and/or time to the construction and reality-making of Dream’s Refuge. For now, our siblings and kin and friends may have a place to live that is better suited to them. We did this together, as a community and people. We must not forget that we are able to meet our needs and we must not solely rely on Stormwind or our leaders.
Donations are being accepted directly at the refuge in Duskwood.

OOC Information
(( This is an official invitation to accept the Shadow of the Forest’s personal guild storyline and headcanon as server lore or personal headcanon (or don’t, I’m not your dad).
In short: the Shadow has received the blessing of the Council of Paths of the Cenarion Circle, a council of druids who protect the Dream Portals across Azeroth, to use the grounds of the Twilight Grove in Duskwood as a more suitable and temporary home for many Darnassian and Gilnean refugees in Stormwind, particularly the ones that sleep on the streets and sidewalks of canals and in alleys.
While you definitely do not need to accept this headcanon in any capacity, I thought it might be a good way to foster some RP outside of Stormwind, and to deal with, as a community, the plight that has befallen the many elf and Gilnean refugees that litter the city with seemingly no one to care for them. (Blizzard, c’mon… give us a home?)
You are free to do with this headcanon whatever you wish, but a short description of the camp will be provided on this thread once it is built and secured. It will be entirely defended by the Shadow of the Forest or generic Sentinels. ))
About Dream's Refuge
Dream’s Refuge is a temporary home built by the Shadow of the Forest through funds and supplies donated by many different organizations, individuals and efforts. The Council of Paths (headcanon) of the Cenarion Circle has given the Shadow their blessing to use the Twilight Grove in Duskwood as grounds for the refuge.
The Refuge is completely built and fully operational. There are a few key points of interest in the grove:
-
Main Camp with a bonfire in the middle, logs for seating around with tables. Tents in between the 3 large trees. At least 50 must be built. This area is blocked from the elements so no cover is needed.
-
Barracks, fit for 20 bodies in bunks. Large mess table and chairs. All the comforts and necessities we can muster.
-
Stables for horses and other beasts the Shadow and refugees keep. Trained Sabers are to remain free-range inside the Grove.
-
Commander’s Tent with mission board out front. Shadowbreaker’s personal quarters and command center. Table with chairs on either side, bed of feathers. Commander’s personal belongings.
-
Armory of wood and canvas to protect from the elements. Large enough for several weapons and war supplies.
-
Storage for foodstuffs, extra supplies, clothes and medicine and herbs and other materials, protected from the elements with canvas.
-
Two watch towers built into the two large trees immediately after the gate at the entrance to the Grove. Large and sturdy enough for two lookouts.
