Jurina'tore, "The Great Hunt"



Jurina'tore, or the "Great Hunt", is a celebration of the late solstice traditionally held in Shadowglen at the beginning of summer - when the land is fertile and rich and everywhere bursts with the green of plants and the hum of insects.

A day dedicated to rest and refreshment, where the Kaldorei slumber through the longest day of sunlight and awaken bright and ready for Jurina’tore. At dusk Kaldorei of all ages, across Kalimdor, gather for the Great Hunt at the center of their village or city, donning yellow and gold clothes. Early evening is full of merriments, feasts and crafts; but at moonrise those willing to partake in the hunt gather and prepare. A symbolic chase begins with the hunted, citizens dressed as deer or other critter creatures, being pursued by the Hounds of Elune who are on foot wearing wolf masks. When and if successful the hunters return to their village and offer up their prey.

As symbolized by the hunt, the Summer Solstice is a time of wealth and bounty, were each Kaldorei is expected to make a donation to their people or an organization. As the donation is made they receive the blessing of Elune for their continued watch over their brethren.

Dress Code
All participants should don casual (cloth&leather) yellow or gold clothes. Those who are hunting should wear dark furs, black or grey, and don't forget your wolf mask!
