One year ago, those whose peoples’ allegiances lie with the Horde asked of the Kaldorei, “What can be done in the wake of Teldrassil?” The Kaldorei demanded action. Though they would not accept direct aid, they instead requested the Horde set out in acts of healing across the world.
Those who committed to those reparations formed the Helping Hands coalition, and spent several months traveling the world to heal the wounds created by the Blight. Despite their work, this is only the first of many steps towards healing. Once more they convene to evaluate what is needed and what to do next. The path stretches ever onwards…
Ishnu'alah!

Additional Details
What is Helping Hands?
This is a public event series that started as a coalition of peace-advocates seeking to build relations between the Kaldorei and the Horde by resolving actions that both parties agreed to address. Having traveled the globe together for several months, they are seeking to expand to provide diplomatic and relief efforts wherever needed! This event series has both peaceful and combat events, though, initially, the combat will largely be RP-PvE.
It is an open invite to all participants! Our goal is to provide consistent roleplay opportunities for as wide an audience as we can.
Target Audience
This event series is aimed towards Alliance, Horde, and neutral groups and individuals. Really, anyone who is interested in rebuilding Azeroth might enjoy this series, though we have a particular focus on those who want to see progress made towards lasting peace. We also have room for antagonists too! Just get in-contact with a DM!
IC Background
In recent conversations with the Horde, the kaldorei demanded action as reparation for the War of Thorns and Burning of Teldrassil. Many Horde-affiliate groups offered aid, so the Kaldorei gathered among themselves to deliberate. Though they rejected direct assistance, they produced a list of actions they’d like to see resolved. They met with the Horde in the shadows of the Nighthold and agreed on which they’d address: destroying Blight stores, manufacturing medical supplies, rescuing souls from the Maw, and restoring arid lands.
They decided to start with destroying Blight stores. In this, they found a Blight-tainted barrow den in Ashenvale. While cleansing it, they encountered a Blight alchemist, Celestine Sorrowsong, performing experiments on the corpses of the druids that once slumbered there. They chased her away, removed the Blight from the den, and cleansed a nearby lake. From there, they cut off her supply lines and pursued her to Lordaeron. Though she initially had the upper hand, they eventually apprehended her. A jury of Horde, Alliance, and neutrals found her to be guilty of multiple war crimes and sentenced her to execution after the crisis in the Shadowlands resolved itself.
Is IC Conflict permitted?
Of course, I fully hope that there is some tension between characters! Working to resolve the distrust is a large part of the event series! However, I would be remiss if I allowed excessive conflict to derail multiple events. The event series caters towards the specified target audience, and it won’t be fun for them if every event just turns into a brawl between belligerents.
We do welcome IC conflict! With that said, if you are bringing a character that you believe will have an exceptionally poor reaction to the opposing faction or peace-building activities, I do ask that you contact me OOCly prior to the event, so we can discuss. I’m not against it, because it makes sense, feels natural for the story world, and could make for interesting story! However, I would like to OOCly coordinate prior, for maintaining the flow and scheduling of the event.
Please understand that the DM(s) of any event maintain OOC control over any combat RP. Guards may be empowered with the ability to power-game for the purpose of roleplaying the prompt, IC removal of belligerents from the discussions. That is to say, for this event, they can take action to remove belligerents without needing to “attempt” or roll. They will automatically succeed on removing belligerent characters. If the guards are ignored, I will instruct attendees to ignore belligerent characters. Again, this is for the sake of maintaining the purpose of the event, so please respect that.
Of course, OOC aggression or other belligerent OOC behavior will not be tolerated, and such players will be promptly ignored.
Help Wanted: DMs Needed!
We are seeking storyrunners, dungeon masters, and/or event hosts to help improve our event series!We are especially interested in Horde (OOC)-main DMs, though any help is appreciated! Primarily, we are looking for dedicated people. People we can count on showing up to almost every event and actively contributing to planning.
Expectations would be to anchor players of your faction to WrA, help plan story arcs, help plan individual events, run booths or sub-activities at non-combat events, potentially plan individual events, and potentially DM combat-oriented events.
Experience is preferred, but not necessarily required, so long as we can count on your showing up! Just let us know how much you have, and we can find a place for you!
Combat System
This was originally inspired by the Year of the Scourge combat system, then the Helping Hands system was incorporated into the Year of the Scourge system.
