Every once in a while, someone or something reminds me the dark reality of the path I have chosen. Tonight was one of these times. I was taking some much needed rest in Stormwind after days of continuous travels between the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Although I usually prefer the quiet and mystical atmosphere of Darnassus or Auberdine for my…
A missive from commanders in the Western Plaguelands was waiting for me when I stopped by Ironforge on the way back from Gnomeregan. Little did I know that missive would turn into the most fortunate discovery. Fortunate ? Probably not, given that the discovery itself redefines the very concept of Fate or Destiny. During a mission in the ruins of…
“Won’t you stay still, you little $#!^&* !” Clenching his Stick of Binding in a menacing way, Cluricaun couldn’t contain his frustration at the whirring mechanoid standing before him. Or rather, squirming before him. That was the problem. The damned mechanical squirrel could not stay in place and the sound of that defective gear in the auxiliary balancing unit (also…
Once again, my path is taking me back to the familiar mountains of my childhood and the painful reminder of what it has become. This time, I came back to Gnomeregan to research my hypothesis of a possible power crystal experiment turned wrong. Radiation is still everywhere. Somehow, survivors still manage to escape the troggs infested ruins, although most of…
I knew it ! I thought the familiar feeling I had when I saw the corruption of Bloodmyst Islands came from my memories of Gnomeregan. On the surface of course, the similarity of both catastrophes are undeniable, but this is not where that feeling came from. There is another place in Azeroth that bears the same kind of scars. The…
Something went terribly wrong when the Exodar landed on Azeroth. One has to simply take the road inland from the majestic city-ship to find out how deep the devastation caused by the crash landing reached inside the very fabric of the land and the life it hosts. Every area where a piece of the ship landed bears crimson scars, spreading…
Rhellus, that Draenei fellow I met in Stormwind, was right about the wonders of his home, although his awkward words could not possibly have done justice to the beauty and the scale of Exodar. The trip from Auberdine was uneventful, save for two blood elves who made me nervous on the ship. Who knows what they were up to going…
After catching only glances of the Draenei for a few weeks now, today was the first occasion I had for a close encounter with one of their kind… What amazing creatures. There is a certain majesty to their presence… a certain essence that is clearly otherworldly. We should be fortunate they came to the Alliance for support in the fight…
Maybe there is hope after all in this dark hour. The mages of Nethergard Keep finally found a way to breach the Portal. The crater in the Blasted Lands is no longer the scene of a siege. Instead, the Commander of Argent Dawn have claimed the area surrounding the Portal and set camp there with the unusual assistance from the…
