Introducing Azuregos.

Zones Visited: Ashenvale, Azshara, Feralas, Desolace.

Greetings, Stranger.

Here are my tales. I was ready to explore Azshara, a beautiful region next to Ashenvale, homeland of all the Nagas in Azeroth. My bow was fixed, Bagalash ready, so the only thing that I had to do was mounting on Freeze and begin my journey. Travelling through I encountered many monsters, Satyrs, stags, wild Hyppogryphs and even an outpost of the proud Timbermaw Furbolgs. Eventually I found Ogtinc and we could start my training. Ogtinc gave me boring tasks, like killing coursers and hydras lurking around there, but I knew that this was what I needed to do to become a stronger Hunter. I also have to thank him because, while in search of my objectives I had the honor to meet the majestic Azuregos. He is an ancient dragon, as old as Azeroth, who lurks around Azshara, waiting for bold adventurers who want to challenge him. I was too astonished by his presence to duel with him, but I now that one of these days I'll be strong enough to beat him. I eventually finished my training and Ogtinc gave me a Devilsaur Tooth as a reward. It was time for me to leave Azshara and continue my quests, so I flew to Feralas, in which I met again Gregan Brewspinner. I collected the ingredients for the Elixir Donova asked me and was ready to get back to Winterspring, but then I decided to explore Desolace instead. This is a noxious place, I can't even describe it, but I think that its name really fits that. I found Nijell's Point and decided to take a rest there. I'm moving soon from this desolate region.


This is the magnificent Azuregos.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, may the stars guide you.

Gaining Respect.

Zones Visited: Ashenvale, Felwood, Moonglade, Winterspring, Darnassus.

Elune adore, Stranger.

Here are my tales. Life here in Azeroth is becoming really hard. As long as I travel through it, I have the occasion to meet wild and beautiful places, dangerous zones, proud tribes and vile beings. This is the way of a hunter. Starting from Astranaar, I went northwards heading to Moonglade. On the way to there I reached Felwood, a woody zone situated just outside the northern edge of Ashenvale. It saddened me to see how corruption reached that place, where bears, wolves and even Furbolgs suffer from the noxious influence of the Plague. This made me feel that I had to do something for that. First of all, anyway, I had to complete my tasks, so I reached the northern boundary, the Timbermaw Hold. That is the home of a fierce Furbolg tribe, and I needed to gain their respect to pass through their galleries. They asked me to kill many corrupted Deadwoods and so I did, until they decided I was worthy of their respect. The Hold is a crossroads which could allow me to reach Monglade and Winterspring. I went northwards, heading to the home of the Cenarion Circle. There I met Keeper Remulos and gave him the Seed of Life as asked by Zaetar and I visited the Stormrage Barrow Dens, where lies the great Malfurion, waiting to wake from the Emerald Dream. I wanted to make his aquaitance but the Warders advised me not to do that at the moment, since the creatures living in there could kill me in no time. I remembered that I had also something to do in Winterspring so I went back to the Timbermaw Hold and from there I reached the snowy region. Many Winterfall Furbolgs lived in there and I killed few of them in order to gain more respect from the Timbermaws. I located Donova Snowden and gave her Linken's Training Sword. She asked me to reach again Gregan Brewspinner in Feralas, but first I needed to find another flight path. So I reached Everlook, a Goblin outpost located in eastern Winterspring and on the way I gathered the Moontouched Feathers that Eralas Ambersky asked me to. I flew towards Darnassus and gave the elf the Feathers, then he asked me to find a colleaugue of his back in Winterspring. I was forgetting that Dorion told me to reach Ogtinc in Azshara, so I decided to do that first, since there is nothing that I can do if I don't grow in my hunting experience. I flew then to Forest Song in Ashenvale and from there my travel will soon continue.

This is the entrance to the Stomrage Barrow Dens in Moonglade.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, asha'falah.

The Dreamer.

Zones Visited: Darnassus, Darkshore, Stormwind City, Blasted Lands, Swamp Of Sorrows, The Sunken Temple, Un'Goro Crater, Ashenvale.

Ishnu-alah, Stranger.

Here are my tales. I am a Hunter, but also a businessman, so I stopped a few days in Darnassus before continuing my adventures, training myself, improving my skill in leatherworking, and also buying and selling stuff in the Auction House, since weapons and food for my beloved pets are very expensive. But it was time to reach the Temple of Atal'Hakkar. I brought Kong with me and together we sailed from Auberdine towards Stormwind, from which we took the gryphon to Nethergarde Keep and then I rode Freeze, heading to the Swamp Of Sorrows and the Sunken Temple. On the way I met four adventurers willing to explore Atal'Hakkar, so i joined them and we made our way through the Pool of Tears. The Sunken Temple is a creepy and dangerous place, filled with sorcerers, deviate monks and lots of Dragonkins. We went downstairs and killed many Elementals, so i was able to go away, but I was to hungry of knowledge, plus my fellows told me about the stories about that creeoy place, so I decided to go forth. We killed many Troll priests who were trying to summon the Blood God Hakkar, then we stepped in a great round hall filled with Dragonkins. The fight was very hard, we went through that again, found Jamman'al and slayed him. Last step was finding Eranikus the Sleeper, we sensed his presence. During our research we faced four fierce Green Dragons, Dreamscythe, Weaver, Morphaz and Hazzas, which did everything in their power to stop us. But we were to resolute to give up, so we fought fiercely and slain the Dragons. At the end of a long and dark corridor we found the Dreamer. We woke him up and eventually killed him, more precisely entrapping his soul in a trinket. My duty in the Sunken Temple was over, so I returned to Kalimdor, went to Un'Goro and gave Muigin the Hazes he needed. He asked me also some Bloodpetal Sprouts, I collected them for him and he created many little Elementals, who rushed against Larion. It was time to reach Moonglade, so I took again the gryphon, this time directed to Astranaar in Ashenvale. I'll need to trespass the dangerous Felwood, so I decided to rest in the Night Elf outpost. My adventures are not finished.


This is me and my fellows about to wake the Dreamer.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, may the stars guide you.

Visions Become Real Again.

Zones Visited: Darnassus, Feralas, Un'Goro Crater, Maraudon Pristine Waters

Ishnu-dal-dieb, Stranger.

Here are my tales. It was time for me to return to Un'Goro and do my duty for the Arch Druid, so I took the Hyppogryph from Darnassus and headed south. Before going to the Crater anyway, I stopped in Feralas and met Gregan Brewspewer, then gave him a sample of Bloodpetal. Hence he asked me to get again in the Temple of Atal'Hakkar and collect some Atal'Ai Hazes from there. The Temple will be one of my future objective, but at the moment I had something else to do. So eventually I made my way to Un'Goro, but while on the hyppogryph I fell unconscious again and found myself another time in Maraudon. This time it was different, since there wasn't my Guild Master Demonstorm with me, and the place was slightly different, filled of waterfalls and lakes, with many strange monsters lurking in there. There were other adventurers in there who told me they fell unconscious like me, so again we teamed up and went through that watery maze, willing to stop these visions. The road was hard, but finally we faced the source of all our nightmares, the vile Princess Theradras. After a ferocious fight we took her down and freed the Spirit of Zaetar who asked us to reach the Cenarion Circle in Mooglade and to give Keeper Remulos his Seed of Life. Hence I woke up and found myself on the hyppogryph, near Marshall's Refuge in Un'Goro. I harvested again the Soil and grew the Morrowgrains, as asked me by Staghelm. I came back to Darnassus again, gave the Morrowgrains to Mathrengyl Bearwalker and took again a room to rest. The Sunken Temple awaits.


This is the noble Zaetar.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, Elune light your path.

Wandering Around. Again.

Zones Visited: Tanaris, Feralas, Un'Goro Crater, Darnassus.

Greetings, Stranger.

Here are my tales. Actually, today I don't have much to write about, since yesterday I just dedicated myself to the thing I love most: exploration. Starting from Gadgetzan I took the gryphon which took me to Feralas and I continued my wanderings there. I saw the vile Writhing Deep, the majestic Twin Colossals and the beautiful Dream Bough, former homeplace of an ancient Emerald Dragon, who left his fellow Dragonkins in there, waiting for his return. Thirsty of new adventures I reminded a task that Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm himself gave to me, to go to Un'Goro Crater and to obtain some samples of terrain in there. I didn't know why he could be so interested in terrain samples, anyway, I got back to Gadgetzan and headed south, where there was a shallow passage that allowed me to enter the Crater. One second after stepping in there I understood why Staghelm was concerned about that territory. There are many wild and ancient beasts in there, ravasaurs, diemetradons, pterrordaxes and even some fearsome devilsaurs, brutal kings of Un'Goro. It was like the time had stopped in there, like fighting against the past itself. Collecting the soil samples hasn't been easy, but I eventually made it, so I could come back to my beloved Darnassus, where I spoke with Jenal and then again with the Arch Druid. Staghelm was happy (in his way) for my deed, so he decided to send me again to Un'Goro to try to grow some Morrowgrains. I also spoke with Dorion, my Hunter Trainer, who asked me to go to Azshara. I decided to remain in Darnassus for the night, since there is no place like home. My adventures will soon resume.


This is a sight of the dreadful Fire Plume Ridge, in Un'Goro Crater.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, may the stars guide your path.

A Day With The Guild.

Zones Visited: The Barrens, Stranglethorn Vale, The Hinterlands, Tanaris.

Ishnu-alah, Stranger.

Here are my tales. After two days of rest I finally decided that it was time for me to rescue Sharpbeak. So I took the boat from Ratchet to Booty Bay and then the gryphon that led me to the Hinterlands. I repaired my armor, set up Kong for the fight and made my way to Jintha'Alor. This time the Trolls and their fellow Vilebranch Wolves couldn't scare me, I felt like I was enough powerful to do that. I fought many villains and I reached a small cavern on the top of the temple, defeated the two guardians and went through that. There was the little Sharpbeak, trapped in a cage. I tried to lockpick it but I failed, I needed the key for that. Then I searched for the main altar and I fought against the Vile Priestess Hexx, who dropped the key. As soon as I opened the cage Sharpbeak's parents went down from the sky and took the little gryphon with them. Glad for the good deed I decided that it was time to amuse myself. So I joined my guild fellows in Tanaris and we altogether organized a race through the desert. At least, this was our intent, because our group, has been attacked many times by Trolls and many beasts, who blatantly aimed for the weakest of us. This anyway added thrill to everything and we raced many and many times, stopping now and then to rescue our youngest disciples. After this tiring yet amazing day I decided to rest in Gadgetzan, I'm continuing tomorrow my adventures through Azeroth.

These are Sharpbeak and his parents, flying high towards freedom.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, asha'falah.

In Training.

Zones Visited: Stormwind City, Darkshore, The Barrens Wailing Caverns.

Elune adore, Stranger.

Here are my tales. After the defeat I've suffered the first time I went in Jintha'Alor I knew it was time to train up. So I started to think which place could be the best to improve my power. I needed something that could test me hard, so I decided to face the Wailing Caverns on my own. These are a wild dungeon, a deed that costed many lives. The danger was really high but I decided that I wouldn't spare myself from nothing, because I knew that the way to become strongers is the one that leads to our own limits. Hence I took the boat from Stormwind who led me to Auberdine in Darkshore region and from there I mounted on the hyppogryph to Ratchet. The Wailing Caverns aren't too far from the Goblin City, so in few minutes I reached the zone. This complicated dungeon is a maze of galleries, filled of wild beasts, raptors, and deviated druids. I met a Disciple of Naralex, who wanted to wake his master from the Emerald Dream. He asked me to slay the Leaders of the Fang, so that he could be able to help Naralex. Kong stomped and stroke his chest, ready for the fight, so we went through the Caverns. I also brought with me Speedy, the turtle that Randis gave to me, since I knew he could be a good fortune charm. I undertook every Leader one by one, starting from Lady Anacondra and Kresh, passing through Lord Cobrahn, Lord Pithas and Skum, and finally slaying Lord Serpentis and the fierce Verdan the Everliving. I came back to the Disciple and escorted him to the place in which was Naralex. The Tauren started the ritual of wakening, during which we have been attacked by Mutanus the Devourer, a monstrous Murloc. The battle has been fierce, but eventually we did it and Naralex woke up. He thanked us and then he and the Disciple transformed into eagles and flew away. After that I went out of the Caverns and headed towards Ratchet. Now I feel more powerful and confident, I know that next time that I'm going to Jintha'Alor will be the good one.


This is the Disciple of Naralex, trying to wake his master.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, Elune guide your path.

Helping Out Children.

Zones Visited: Blasted Lands, Swamp Of Sorrows, Stormwind City, Stranglethorn Vale, The Barrens, Tanaris, Zul'Farrak, Thousand Needles, Dustwallow Marsh, The Hinterlands, Westfall, Loch Modan, Darnassus.

Greetings, Stranger.

Here are my tales. Yesterday my wanderings brought me through many parts of Azeroth and gave me the occasion to do something good with a Human Orphan. First things first anyway. From Nethergarde Keep I went to the Swamp of Sorrows and sneaked through the sunken Temple of Atal'Hakkar, where I found the Atal'ai Tablets that Brohann Caskbelly Needed. I brought the old Dwarf the Tablets, took the gryphon to Booty Bay and then the boat to Ratchet, from where I headed towards Tanaris, where Zul'Farrak is. On the way to there I found some adventurers and we teamed up in order to help each other through the dungeon. We eventually made it and I also found a distress beacon who led me to the southern part of Tanaris desert, in order to rescue a gnomish homing robot. After that I went to Duswallow Marsh to give Tabetha the Tiara of the Deep, she had lost in Zul'Farrak and I met Jadie, another disciple of The Fallen Temple. She needed to go to Tanaris but she didn't have the flight path to Gadgetzan, so I've been very happy to escort her through Thousand Needles, where I also had the possibility to give the Gahz'rilla Electrified Scale to Wizzle Brassbolts, and finally get her into the desert. Back again to the Blasted Lands, I gave to Thadius Grimshade the Nekrum's Medallion and waited for his divination, then I returned to Gryphon Master Talonaxe in the Hinterlands who asked me to rescue Sharpbeak, who was in the Temple of Jintha'Alor. I knew that the Temple was in my destiny, but I still didn't feel strong enough to make it. So I decided that it was time to do something good for the less fortunate, so I went to Stormwind, spoke to Orphan Matron Nightingale and met Randis, a Human orphan. My will was to have fun with him and to make him see the most beautiful parts of Kalimdor, so I brought him to the Ghost Lighthouse in Westfall, to the Stonewrought Dam in Loch Modan and to to Bough of Eternals in Darnassus. Then I asked him what was his biggest desire and he told me that having an autograph by Jaina Proudmoore would have been the best thing in the world, so I brought him to Theramore Isle and made his dream come true. Back to Stormwind, before bringing Randis back to the Orphan Matron we enjoyed a good "Tigule and Foror's Strawberry Icecream". The child was so happy about his adventures that he gave me a turtle pet as a reward. I eventually decided that it was time for me to take a rest, I have to train hard to be in shape for Jintha'Alor and I need to sleep as much as I can.


This is Randis, meeting me and Kong for the first time.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, Asha'falah.

Hard Time At Jintha'Alor.

Zones Visited: Feralas, Thousand Needles, Tanaris, The Barrens, Stranglethorn Vale, The Hinterlands, Stormind City, Blasted Lands.

Elune be with you, Stranger.

Here are my tales. Yesterday has been quite a stressing day, since the tasks I followed and all the wanderings took me to the very limit of my stamina. I am very happy of this anyway, because finally I've found something that can make me give up and that forces my improvement as a hunter. Azeroth isn't Wonderland, I finally remembered this lesson. Anyway, starting from Feathermoon Stronghold, I had to make my way to Tanaris, but I didn't know how to. Something told me anyway that Thousand Needles was the key, so I took the hyppogryph to Thalanaar and started my search for any kind of passage. Eventually I've spetted a narrow road located on the southern tip of the Shimmering Flats and finally arrived into Tanaris. The first thing I saw was Gadgetzan, a small Goblin city, actually more an encampment than a real agglomerate of buildings. At least there was a gryphon master, so when I finally found the Roc gizzards I needed it has been easy for me to reach Ratchet and then take the boat to Booty Bay. Another flight took me back to the Hinterlands and I've been able to bring Rhapsody the ingredients for his brew. After this the Dwarf asked me to come back to Stormwind City and talk to Brohann Caskbelly, but before doing this I went to the Altar of Zul in search for the breed of the Sharpbeak Gryphon. I haven't found anything in there but a bunch of Troll sorcerers, who took me and Kong in a fierce battle. One of these vile beings dropped the Sacred Mallet, which I needed to use in the Altar of Jintha'Alor in order to transform it into the Mallet of Zul'Farrak. I searched for the temple and tried to go through the lot of Trolls that lurked in there, but the challenge became too hard even for me and my brother Kong even died, so I had to give up. I'm returning there when I and Kong will be more powerful, this is a promise. I came back to Aerie Peak and Gryphon Master Talonaxe asked me to go to the Blasted Lands to speak with Thadius Grimshade, so I decided that it was time to leave the Hinterlands for a while. On my journey to Nethergarde Keep i went to Stormwind and talked with Brohann about Rhapsody's story and then he asked me to go to the Temple of Atal'Hakkar and search for some Atal'ai Tablets located in there. I eventually got in the Blasted Lands and spoke to Thadius. I got another quest, this time I was asked to search for a Troll called Nekrum and to collect his medallion, then to bring it back to Grimshade. Since I am a calm person, I thought it was best to relieve myself before doing anything else, so right now I'm still in Nethergarde, waiting to get well.


This is the entrance of the Temple of Jintha'Alor. I'm watching this with another eye, sooner or later.

I hope you enjoyed my story and to meet you again. Until then, may the stars guide you.
