In light of the pre-patch activities set to finally launch this coming Tuesday, and this month’s Debate Series scheduled to take place one day later, we’ve decided to do something different with our usual date and timeslot! (This Wednesday, November 11th @ 7:00 PM Server time!)
With the sudden invasion of the Scourge causing untold panic, chaos and mayhem all throughout Azeroth, we will instead use this opportunity to host a highly immersive cross-faction community roleplay event! (Our Debate Series are always neutral faction, so no major change there!)
Salon Room A on the University Main Campus (ICly SWU Main Campus / OOCly Scarlet Enclave Ruins) will be set up as an emergency “sanctuary” where we plan to host relief stations; such as providing medical attention/first aid and counseling, as well as supply donations (accepting as well as handing out), also food and water. Participation is definitely welcomed and encouraged whether as a fellow volunteer, friends and allies of the University, or even civilian characters in need of aid!

Some quick, relevant SWU IC lore and headcanon:
The SWU Main Campus resides on the outskirts of Stormwind City proper, which allows for non-Alliance visitors to safely access the University’s facilities without need of traversing through the city itself. The campus grounds are extremely well defended and nigh-impregnable from mass mob tactic assaults by the Scourge, through both natural and magical means.
The University itself is surrounded by high mountains and hilly terrain on its flanks with a waterway connection to Stormwind Harbor at the rear. The Campus Front Gates are the only pedestrian access at all times. During the Scourge invasion, these gates will be dedicatedly monitored from the Campus Security Watchtower and patrolled for the defense and rescue of refuge seekers, as well as the neutralization of Scourge attackers.
Additionally, the campus grounds are defended by magical wards set in place and maintained by various members of the Stormwind University faculty and staff. These wards cover the entire perimeter of the campus grounds and are threaded together cooperatively using multiple forms of magic in order to better guarantee the repulsion of unwelcome forces.

It’s certainly different and a diversion from our usual monthly fare, but we hope to see you there! As always, ALL are welcome to join in and participate!
(We do recognize that the location is a bit out of the way, so summons will be provided prior to start time - potentially even throughout the course of the event! - for our attendees’ convenience!)
