On the first day of the twenty-ninth year after the Dark Portal, homesick at heart, Chen set off early in the morning to return to his homeland, the Wandering Isle. After seeing him off at Bladefist Bay, Zul'ra threw himself back into work.

There was no war for the Horde in the new year, but Zul'ra was by no means at ease. Not only did the Horde have much construction work to do, but as far as he knew, The Cataclysm was about to arrive.

To prepare for the possible Cataclysm, Zul'ra spoke with Cairne and Haimuxi. In the name of strategic necessity, they were to plant more staple crops this year, prohibit alcohol, and stockpile grain.

Strategic reserves and Horde construction were both long-term undertakings. What lay before Zul'ra now was the approaching Festival of All Gods.

The Festival of All Gods was one of the six traditional holidays the Horde had just established by law. It fell on the fifteenth day of the first month, the same day as the Lantern Festival in his previous life. In significance, it was equivalent to the Horde's New Year's Eve—a day for families to reunite, and also a day to worship the gods.

Ritual worship held great importance for every race in the tribes of this primitive society, especially in a world where demigods and souls truly existed. The ceremonies of this festival could not be overlooked.

Zul'ra gathered the priests of the Amani, Zuldrak, and Darkspear, along with the druids and shamans of the Shu'halo and Orcs. Together, they compiled a list of the gods to be worshipped, decided on the site of the rites, and established the corresponding ritual procedures.

After much discussion, Zul'ra and the many priests chose Jintha'Alor in the east as the site of the Festival
