The Winter Celebration is the ceremony of the The Spirit Wolves, a Tauren tribe, which follows the virtues of Peace and Wisdom. The Spirit Wolf tribe is scattered throughout the world of Azeroth, but the call of great Spirit Wolf, Waluu, will reunite them once more.
One of the main purpose of this celebration is to ceremonially bring the sun back from its long winter slumber, as this is the beginning of another cycle of the Wheel of the Year, which in turn will renew the strength of the tribe in its efforts of purification and cleansing of the corruption that has taken a hold of the world.
In the great Tauren city, Thunder Bluff, at the highest bluff, The Spirit Wolves will gather and begin preparations for the Winter Celebration, which will entail many sorts of events and ceremonies. There will be speeches, story-telling, snow-ball fighting, a reindeer show, cookies, egg nogg and of course snowy paws, snowy paws, snowy all the day!

Imagine that you are a developer for a day, and that you have to design a new dungeon for the game. What will your dungeon look like?
PvP question of the week: Which do you think is the best 3v3 setup to beat a team consisting of a Retribution Paladin, a Holy Paladin and a Mutilation Rogue?
This is a rather ominous, yet interesting question: Is there a place called "Hell" in Warcraft?
Achievements...which ones do you think will never be added?

“So I was cast out by my comrades. Exiled. Forced to wander the frozen wastes...but I was not alone. Not entirely. The voice, now my only companion, guided me to my destination. Strange, nightmarish creatures awaited me at the entrance. I felt my blood run cold, as cold as Icecrown itself.”

A Party doesn’t necessarily need a reason behind it, in fact just drinking, eating and having a good time is reason enough. But having an exceptional reason for partying often makes the party a memorable one, be it good or bad. Soon there will be a party... a party with a truly exceptional reason behind it... insulting! Insulting you might think, well that doesn’t exactly sound very fun and party like does it? Well it does if you add Pirate Costumes into the mix!
The Insultin' Pirates Party is all about the drinking, the eating and having a good time, but the true uniqueness of this party is of course the insulting! In this party, there is going to be an epic and very amusing insulting competition, where wit is the deciding factor. The two sharpest minds will clash, engaging in a glorious and hilarious battle, and the greatest most bad-mouthed pirate will be chosen as winner by judges and popular vote of the party people! Rumour has it that the grand prize is "sponsored" by Landro Longshot.
Barmaidens will be there to keep everyone equally happy, free drinks are ensured, food is tasty, events and competitions! What are you waiting for? Come to Booty Bay!

Jackson had just reached the mountain's summit. Cold air flowed, in chilling streams, around his partly covered face. The warm air from his breath manifested itself visibly around his head. Ahead of him, an alliance capital city – filled with people blissfully ignorant of the slaughter about to take place. Behind him, waiting eagerly with their weapons unsheathed and their magics ready, a legion of horde ready to rampage, pillage, and wreck havoc. Preparations were complete and everyone had been informed of the strategy for the onslaught. Jackson cackled gleefully as he ordered the attack call to be made.
In the distance, Potsun heard horns sounding an impending attack. Too late to inform anyone, all Potsun could do was watch as a moving sea of horde charged into the city he knew and loved so much. Would the city be able to defend itself? Potsun asked himself this as he watched the onslaught begin...

“Oh yes, quite divine..” Milandira took another nibble of the slow-roasted honey bread, liberally coated with warm Alterac Swiss. The combination of tastes warmed the inside of her mouth and danced across her palate like a troupe of rowdy gnomes.
The room was packed full of guests, with waiters and waitresses moving nimbly between elbows and gesturing hands to deliver rounds of dainty cheeses, fondues, breads and glasses full to the brim of local and imported vintages.
“You must try this one,” her best friend and close companion insisted, deftly picking two slices of melon off the nearest tray and handing one to her. “Go on, darling, what do you think?”
“Salanu, honestly, I've hardly had time to swallow!” Silks swirled as Milandira brought her glass up to her lips and drained it before eyeing the melon. “This doesn't look like cheese.”
“Finest Stormwind Brie, melted and poured into a groove in the melon. Absolutely delicious, you must try it.”
The melon disappeared between ruby lips and there was silence for a moment before the moan of appreciation.
“Oh my goodness they really have outdone themselves this time. I must compliment the chef.”
Salanu smiled victoriously and raised her own glass in a toast. The two women stood silently for a moment, savouring the tastes as the noise from the crowd around them grew slowly more boisterous.
“Oh my dear, you'll never guess,” Milandira started, a sudden frown on her face. “I had this terrible experience just the other night near Southshore. I was minding my own business, picking flowers, and this terrible orc rogue just came out of nowhere. I didn't stand a chance. It was all over before I could do the slightest thing. Not a thing! Honestly, it's as if..”
“Oh darling, really,” Salanu sighed with disappointment. “How many times do I have to tell you. It's the other kind of wine..”

Silence is taking a hold on the ocean.
All creatures of the sea are on guard or in hiding.
Seaweeds are the only thing to be seen in motion,
pushed gently by the currents of the tiding.
A small object enters the ocean from above,
but it does not sink to the bottom at all.
The object floats lightly as the feathers of a dove,
Luring and teasing and sending its call.
A fish is curious and carefully swims near,
inspecting the object for signs of danger.
The object does not move or show fear,
in fact it behaves like it's not a stranger.
The object is offering an object of peace;
it looks to be food of some kind.
A gesture like this makes all wariness cease,
the fish eats with calmness in mind.
Then suddenly the world turns upside down,
what was north before is now south.
The fish is blinded by bright light all around,
and a sharp pain is stinging its mouth.
It has become hard for the fish to breathe,
and everything is now so awfully dry.
The betraying object has sunk in its teeth,
and all the fish can think of is "why?"
"Ya mon! Dis one be a mighty fat one!",
were the last words the fish did hear.
Those words were spoken by the one who won the 8th Durotar Feeshing Expoganza this year!

Looking around, Sibu drew in a breath of damp morning air. Looking out over the ocean, the sun was reflecting in the calm waters outside of Stormwind harbour. Above him, seagulls were sailing the morning winds on a lookout for breakfast. Jumping slightly as Kronin approached him silently from behind, tapping his shoulder with leather gloves, "Greetings my friend!" Kronin walked slightly ahead of Sibu and followed his gaze out into the sunrise. "Today will be an eventful day," he said as he turned towards Sibu. Sibu nodded and looked down, pondering what dangerous events would happen on their journey next.
Walking through the streets, Zlak was whistling on a tune that had been stuck in his head for the past few days. "Darn gnomes," he muttered to himself. Always with the catchy tunes. Ahead he could see a warrior and rogue having a conversation by the docks. "Appears they've already arrived," he continued to himself, "I wonder if they're prepared for the evening of festivities before setting sail in the morning." The hunter turned towards his pet – a white cat with fangs no-man would want to be at the receiving end of. Quiche, as the ferocious feline had so ironically been named, toddled alongside her master obediently.
Last to arrive was Cerry. Despite being a shape shifter, her ability to arrive late was unequalled amongst her peers. As she appeared from above and shifted out of her flighty form, Sibu – as always, commented on her tardiness. "Right then," Kronin started... "We're all here. Let us begin preparations for the festivities and events ahead."
---
A few hours later people began to arrive. As the crowds gathered at the various food and drink stands, it was time for speeches and celebrations. Sibu was the first to do so with a speech inspiring many an adventurer gathered.
"Over the past few years... " he said with a loud and raspy voice, "we have fought together, bled together and celebrated great victories together. Today, we stand at a cross roads; many a new adventure lies ahead. We will encounter strange creatures, dangerous challenges and deadly foes. We seek to journey into a strange and foreign land, unknowing of the dangers that lie ahead."
Sibu coughed slightly, then continued: "Many would call it recklessness, many would yet even call it madness. But no, my friends – " Sibu paused for a few moments looking out into the crowd. "This is not madness," he continued, "this – this is destiny. We were born for this, and by the gods and even the lords themselves, this is where we belong. I call out to every man and woman gathered here today; raise your arms and take great pride in your accomplishments when we set out on the journey into the unknown. Take pride in being part of this great alliance! Most of all though, may you all have a safe journey and return with many a tale!"
