All the Strange Things Collected Thus Far

Location: The Black Temple, Shadowmoon Valley Have you ever wondered about the astronomy of the Warcraft universe? We know a lot more now than we did back when Vanilla WoW first came out. From Ulduar, we have seen a full rotating globe of Azeroth, and we know exactly where Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms lie,…

Location: Karazhan, Deadwind Pass Faction: Neutral Karazhan has always been a place that’s not all there. The wizard that lived there was ‘half-possessed’ by the leader of the Burning Legion, had an affair with a half-orc/half-draenei with a heart of gold (and a knife in King Llane’s chest), and spent half of his time killing…

Location: Anywhere Noblegarden is celebrated Faction: Neutral Now I’m an open minded guy. I don’t take issue with the marriage between a human and a gnome. I voted for reforming the forsaken health care system to exclude “already dead” as a preexisting condition to refuse coverage. I even protested the unlawful removal of tauren for…

Location: Various Book Spawn Points, Dalaran Faction: Neutral This is one I stumbled upon on my tedious waiting for Higher Learning. It’s essentially a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions for those who are pondering the acronym and don’t often peruse for free game guides on the internet). My favorite is the one from the picture: if…

Location: Arsenal Absolute, Dalaran Faction: Neutral You gotta give a hand to these guys. I don’t know if they got it off someone they caught stealing red-handed but just seeing it displayed so prominently gives me a shake. I’m surprised that the no authorities have asked them to hand it over just to check it…

Location: Warden’s Cage, Shadowmoon Valley Faction: Neutral Illidan Stormrage. Do I have to say anything else? He’s become a punchline unto himself. The Betrayer went from a sympathetic anti-hero, to a villain, to the Warcraft equivalent of an old man sitting on his porch and yelling for those darn kids to get off his Outland. …

Location: Saltheril’s Haven, Eversong Woods Faction: Horde Back when The Burning Crusade was the next big thing, there was a lot of talk about the Blood Elves. They originally had scrawnier models that looked weak, so Blizz buffed up the models to look like… well… models. The other concern was with their attitude. Were the…

Location: Stonewrought Dam, Loch Modan/Wetlands Faction: Alliance I have to wonder some days exactly what is going through the minds of some races. At what point did a group of dwarves layout the structure for this dam and go “You know what? I think this needs some more spitting.” Especially when you realize this is…

Location: Scholomance, Western Plaguelands Faction: Neutral Back when I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico (Never again. NEVER. AGAIN.), there was a school there called School for the Deaf. One day, when I was driving around with my family, my sister saw the sign but the “F” in deaf was blocked by a tree. So…
