The sickness is coming!
Starting this October, a fan-made roleplay plot hits the Warcraft community. When an unexplained epidemic begins to creep across Azeroth, it’s up to heroes of both the Horde and Alliance to find a cure and stop the spread before it eclipses the world.
The event will span both factions of Wyrmrest Accord, Moon Guard, and Emerald Dream and will focus on the guilds that inhabit them. Independent roleplayers are also welcome to incorporate the details into their roleplay, but guild players will spearhead the storyline. Any guild created before September 1st, 2015 will be eligible to be credited for defining plot points. Guilds created after September 1st, or guilds with no interest in being directly involved are still invited to participate! The sickness is easy to incorporate into unrelated plots and everyday roleplay. Applications for plot points close September 20th.
A large-scale story needs planners and mediators. Players interested in being realm representatives should be unbiased, helpful individuals who are focused on providing a safe and fun roleplay environment for their peers. If you are interested in rolling a character to be an auxiliary aid to the plot, applications for realm representatives close September 22nd.
As guilds work together to progress the story, free artwork and other treasures will be up for grabs. You can keep up with the content as it becomes available here.
Questions? Want to apply, discuss, or get more information? Contact Silane in-game on Horde-side Emerald Dream, or inquire with Zappypew on Skype.

While we’re on the subject of honeybees, I was recently visited by a swarm!
I came home Tuesday to find a huge cloud of bees all around a magnolia tree by the garage. In less than an hour, they coalesced into a tight ball of bees about the size of a football.
Now, I knew from a lifetime of nature documentaries that honeybees are at their most docile and least likely to sting when they’re swarming. A this time, they are stuffed silly with honey, don’t have any young to protect, and can simply fly away to avoid predators. They’re cruising around with their queen, looking for a new place to build a hive.
I wasn’t worried about them hurting anybody, but I didn’t necessarily want them to take up residence in my garage or attic. So I did what anybody would have done in this situation. I made a Facebook post about it and then googled what to do.
Fortunately, a friend of mine works at the Stratford Ecological Center in Delaware, Ohio. She put me in touch with their Apiarist (beekeeper), who was simply ecstatic to hear that I had a stray swarm and that I hadn’t poisoned it (apparently, lots of people don’t know the difference between honeybees and wasps/hornets/yellowjackets/etc). We set up a time for him to come rescue the swarm, and he even called a couple of students up to share the experience. One of them had been waiting for over two years to go on a swarm rescue run.
He brought out a hive box with some already-combed frames. We cut down the twig the bees had clustered on and dropped it into the box, and they immediately began claiming it as their home. Detecting the wax comb on the frames and recognizing a good hive location, the bees started to emit a lemony “homing” pheromone, letting all of their sisters know to settle down here and start laying down wax.
We kept the hive box overnight to allow errant scouts time to return. He came back the next morning to pick up the hive and take it to a quarantine site, until he could be sure of the bees health and temperament. He even left us a little parting gift from the apiary at Stratford. Everybody kept saying what an absolute treat it was to find and save a swarm, and how rare it was to see them. Provided the hive is healthy, in a month or two, I could go up to the ecological center and visit my bees!
With 40% of honeybee colonies in the US dying in the last year, every bee that can be saved is a small victory. It was a real privilege to witness this event and have a hand in finding a good home for the swarm.
If you see some swarming honeybees in the wild, call a beekeeper! They’ll be grateful to hear from you, and you’ll be doing some good for our pollinator friends!
