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.

Back To Kalimdor.

Zones Visited: The Hinterlands, Darnassus, Feralas.

Ishnu-alah, Stranger.

Here are my tales. Going on in my journey I finally had the occasion to return to Kalimdor. In fact Rhapsody, the Dwarf that I had to search as told me by the Explorers' League, asked me to go to Feralas and Tanaris in order to collect the ingredients for a special brew. I also collected some Wildkin Feathers and I had to bring them Eralas Ambersky in Rut'theran Village, so I used my Hearthstone and came back to where my heart has ever been: my beloved Darnassus. Beholding again the Cenarion Enclave, the Warriors' Terrace and the beautiful Temple of Elune filled my heart with joy. I had a job to accomplish though, so I got back to duty, learnt some new abilities from my trainer ad brought the Feathers to Eralas. After that I mounted on a hyppogryph who took me to Thalanaar, on the boundary between Thousand Needles and Feralas, and started my search. Feralas is an outstanding region: a humongous jungle, filled with bears, wolves, gorillas, elementals and giants too. Its wild beauty captured my eyes and my soul. After getting the required livers from gorillas and bears I made my way to Feathermoon, an Elven outpost located in an island west of the continent. On the way to Feathermoon I met Zorbin Fandazzle, a Goblin who wanted to prove my strength askng me to miniaturize many giants lurking over there and to bring him the remains of my struggles. It has been a fun yet wearying task, so when I finally arrived to Feathermoon I decided to rest before doing anything else. I'll continue my journey tomorrow.


This is one of the beautiful sights you can catch in Feralas. An amazing place indeed.

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

Fozruk Avenged.

Zones Visited: Hillsbrad Foothills, Arathi Highlands, Alterac Mountains, The Hinterlands.

Greetings, Stranger.

Here are my tales. Yesterday I decided to get revenge for being deceived by Princess Myzrael who convinced me to kill the honorable Fozruk. I made my way back to Arathi Highlands and went to the Shards of Myzrael, then I summoned the princess. It was time to get payback for what she made me do. The fight against her has been very hard, since she started to summon several Prismatic Exiles to help her, but my proud brother Bagalash grew up in rage and had no mercy for the giant. After that I've bound the shackles that she dropped to the Shards and trapped her back again. I decided then to move from Arathi and go exploring new lands, so I started following the path towards Alterac Mountains. This region is very similar to Hillsbrad, apart from a great valley inside the mountain chain, which is terrain for fierce battles between Alliance and Horde, and a huge crater in the southwestern path, which glows in a violet light and is held by the Dalaran people. At last I thought that it was time to continue my unfinished business, so I headed towards The Hinterlands and spoke to Falstad Wildhammer in Aerie Peak as told me ages ago by Brohann Caskbelly of the Explorer's League. I have been redirected to Gryphon Master Talonaxe, who asked me to go in search of a certain Rhapsody Shindigger. Anyway I decided to take a rest before doing it, so I'm planning to begin my search when I'm ready.


This is the Dalaran Crater. Quite creepy.

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

The Trapped Princess.

Zones Visited: Arathi Highlands, Ironforge, Badlands, Blasted Lands, Hellfire Peninsula, Hillsbrad Foothills.

Ishnu-dal-dieb, Stranger.

Here are my tales. I am a calm Elf, I'm never in hurry to get new achievements or to prove my greatness. The thing I like most is exploring, but that takes patience, because rushing from side to side in a region does't allow you to get the best of it, behold its landscapes a make them yours. So this is why I decided to rest for two days instead of one, but after that I decided that it was time to continue my journey. In the Arathi Highlands I found a strange speaking crystal, I "talked" with it and it "said" to me that it actually was princess Myzrael, entrapped by the giants. she asked me to gather some Motes of Myzrael, held by a group of Kobolds near there, then to obtain three Elemental Keys from the Circles of Binding around Arathi and at last to kill Forzruk, a Giant who held the key for her freedom. This last task has been hard as hell, since Fozruk was a fierce opponent and I felt very honored to defeat him. I went to the Circle of Inner Binding and freed her. She wasn't completely out of her curse, so she asked me to go to Ironforge and talk to Gerrig Bonegrip, a Dwarf who knew how to summon her. I took the gryphon and went to the Dwarves' capitol city, spoke with Gerrig and then made my way to the Badlands in search of Thelduin the Lost. This crazy Dwarf was the only holder of the actual truth, since Myzrael was trapped for the very sake of Azeroth, due to her wickedness and will to destroy. He asked me to gather the tore parts of the Scroll of Myzrael, in order to summon her before she could gather too much power. I felt sorrow for Fozruk, since the only thing he was trying to was to protect me. I decided to avenge his death, but still it wasn't time, Myzrael could be too strong for me. The only thing that I could do was to explore new lands and to broaden the knowledge of myself. I roamed through the Badlands, with its harsh landscape, and then to prove my strength by visiting the Blasted Lands. These are the worst part of Azeroth that I've ever visited, corrupted and filled with demons, with Nethergarde Keep standing as the last Alliance stronghold. There was also the Dark Portal, that brings people to other realities. I stepped through that and found myself in another planet, rough and desolate, more than I ever expected. Immediately a fearsome Worg attacked me and I felt the only thing that I could do was to come back to Azeroth as fast as I could. That was enough for me, so I decided to rest in Southshire, an Alliance town in Hillsbrad Foothills. I'll stay here until I feel that it's time to face the Princess.


This is me and Kong fighting against Fozruk and his fellow Kobolds. Honor to him.

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

Wandering Around.

Zones Visited: Stormwind City, Elwynn Forest, Redridge Mountains, Arathi Highlands

Elune Adore, Stranger.

Here are my tales. I decided to take a break from everything for a while and dedicate myself to what I love most, that is wandering around and discovering new parts of our beloved Azeroth. So I left the crowded Trade District in Stormwind, took Kong and my Frostsaber with me and headed westwards. Redridge is a beatiful region, full of woods, lakes and rivers, it reminds me of Teldrassil, somehow. I've visited the Human town of Lakeshire, sneaked through the Render's Camp and beholded the magnificence of Stonewatch Keep, proud Human stronghold. My thirst of knowledge wasn't quenched yet, so I remembered of Arathi Highlands another zone that I've visited partially. Fortunately I've talked with the gryphon master in Refuge Pointe before, so it has been easy for me taking the bird and go there. The Highlands are a nice region too, even if the Horde's presence in here is more relevant. Hammerfall is dangerous place for Alliance, people should stay away from there. Finally I came back to Refuge Pointe and prepared myself for the night, so that tomorrow I'll be in shape for new wanderings.

This is me and Freeze in Redridge. He likes very much howling when the full moon gets up in the sky.

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

When Visions Become Real.

Zones Visited: Stranglethorn Vale, Thousand Needles, Stormwind City, Maraudon Purple Crystals

Ishnu-alah Stranger.

Here are my tales. After two days of rest (probably because I didn't want to help Kravel out) I finally decided to finish that. So I headed north to the Ruins of Jubuwal, in order to get the Zanzil's Mixture that Crank needed. It has been a hard job to do, killing many Witch Doctors, Nagas and Zombies, but finally I did it. I got back to Booty Bay then, had my Fool's Stout and made again my way to Thosand Needles, where I brought that to Kravel. The Dwarf tricked me again and made me get the Goblin racers, who were definitely knocked down by the drink and lost the race. Then Kravel "gently" asked me to report Crank about the success of the mission, I accepted since Booty Bay was on my way to Stormwind and finally said "farewell" to the two scoundrels. After this I planned to go to Stormwind, since it was the closest city to Redridge Mountains, that I still haven't visited. So I took the gryphon, but while on my way I started to have some visions. I saw a great maze of tunnels, filled of sprites, satyrs and corrupted tanglers, almost without any illumination, apart from the light coming from huge purple crystals. I got back to reality and finally reached Stormwind, Human major city. It is a nice city, full of people at any time of the day, in which you can afford good deals with the various vendors in there. So I headed to the Auction House to see if i could find something interesting and then to the Dwarven District, for I wanted to learn new abilities and I knew that there was a Hunter Trainer. Just after practising with some new stings I fell down inconscious and started to dream. I found myself again in that maze but this time I wasn't alone. In fact there was also my Guild Master Demonstorm and three other people that I've never met before, a Human Rogue, a Gnome Mage and a Night Elf Druid. We found out that we were in the purple part of Maraudon, so we decided to team up and make our way to the end of these tunnels. We fought fiercely, with Demonstorm puling many demons and standing proudly on his feet, me and Bagalash dealing as much damage as we could and the other people helping out. We eventually found ourselves in front of Lord Vyletongue, a wicked satyr, head of the Putridus clan. Again we started a furious battle against him, very difficult due to his ability to blink and teleport himself in the back of our group. Our blades and arrows finally took him down and we had a feeling like we've freed our world from something terrible. I got back from this "dream" and found myself again in Stormwind. I decided to rest a little, since i felt very tired. Tomorrow I'm moving to Redridge Mountains as I've been planning.


This is me and my teammates trying to take down the threats in Maraudon.

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