Earthquake : the shaman gathering

When the earth cry, when the wind blow his anger, when the fire burn in rage and the water lose her peace, the shamans gather.

Our reporter Elloa who is also initiated to shamanism (cf. Article : Chronicle of Elloa : shaman awakening) have travelled through Azeroth during two weeks to warn and call all shamans of the world. They heard her call, and they gathered in the goblin harbor of Ratchet.

A lot of orcs came, some of them wearing the colors of the "The Red Blade", the shaman leading them was a pregnant female named Maazguul who didn't hesitate to tire herself for the sake of the world. Different Trolls came from different tribes whose names are unknow to me, two Taurens, the dwarf Angos from the Wildhammer clan, the Farseer Sanara and some others Draenei shamans. Amazingly, two ogres felt concerned enough to join the gathering, aswell the chieftain of the Ashepine tribe,Uung, who was firstly mistaken as a bear ! Watching the ogre with a suspicious eyes, some orcs prefered to keep their blades close, in case..

The shamans gathered in a large circle. Elloa and a troll offered a potion with a strong herbal smell, that all drank. They started the drums and the songs. And then, one by one, they all started to dance. They seemed to be lost in another world. It was the ceremony of Vision, and all shamans saw the elements raging in War.

Then, they started the Ceremony of Offering to appease the Elements. They dropped totems and summoned orbs arround them, while the leaders where giving offerings. The ogres had a way to honnour the Water who surprised everyone.
When the Earth had been honnored, flowers and plants flourished out of the soil. And a Earth elemental appeared, peacefull. All shamans seemed to be relieved and started to cheer. Unfortunately, soon after, the very ground trembled in a eartshock once more.




The shamans had done all they could. Despite the wars and conflicts separating their races, they gathered peacefully, and prayed together. Even if they didn't succeed to appease the Elements, this gathering was a first victory over destruction.
