All the Strange Things Collected Thus Far

Location: The Western Sanctum, Eversong Woods Faction: Horde I know, the title sounds like a fortune cookie. But this is a bit of a zen riddle already. That or some wacky practical joke courtesy of Blizzard. If you travel to the Western Sanctum and go around behind it where the little mountain is, then look…

Location: Halls of Lightning, Storm Peaks Faction: Neutral There is a lot of weird stuff in the Storm Peaks, but this one I stumbled on when running Halls of Lightning and while waiting for a new tank via LFG (the first tank bailed after downing the first boss. We presumed he only needed one Emblem…

Location: Gundrak, Zul’Drak Faction: Neutral This is one I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time. Since I first saw it. It captivated me in a way that no one in my group at the time understood. Namely because much like a movie teaser or a hinted at plot point in a tv show,…

Location: Valley of Spears, Desolace Faction: Neutral More specifically the Centaur KAAAHHHNNNS! While wandering around trying to finish up my Lunar Festival achievements (If you are wondering – No, I did not succeed. One Omen kill and most of the Northrend Elders got missed by the deadline), I had to make my way back into…

Location: Abandoned Reach, Borean Tundra Faction: Neutral There’s a lot I could say here about DEHTA. And I probably will do a whole rant about them one of these days. But they have some of the best opponents in all of Northrend. In light of the scourge marching on the doorsteps of both the Alliance…

Location: Wyrmskull Bridge, Blade’s Edge Mountains Faction: Neutral There are alot of grudges in the Blade’s Edge Mountains: Ogres vs Dragons. Mortals vs Dragons. Ogres vs Everyone else. Us vs Gronn. So one would expect there to be a lot of death in the region. I mean, we are talking about a zone that is…

Location: Fenris Isle, Silverpine Forest Faction: Horde …So let’s just mostly bury him. Continuing on from my discussion on the complete lack of effort on the behalf of Thule Ravenclaw last week, here we have absolutely non-implied evidence of how lazy these undead are. They don’t even finish burying the bodies. Just look at the…

Location: Fenris Isle, Silverpine Forest Faction: Horde Hey kids! Remember the four Wizards that started Hogwarts in your favorite series of books? Yea! There was Godric Griffindor, and Helga Hufflepuff and a servant of the Lich King… Wait. What? Yes, apparently long before there was Hogwarts, Harry, Ron or Hermoine there was Thule Ravenclaw, a…

Location: Ratchet, The Barrens Faction: Neutral Now this isn’t the first time I’ve spoken about the wonderful Goblins. I’ve spoken about their efficient use of amazing machines with the Venture Company in comparison to say Orcs. But despite what the Goblins have in technical abilities, I often have to wonder about their choices in aesthetics. …

Location: Telaar, Nagrand Faction: Alliance Most races in the World of Warcraft have naming conventions. These are normally common traits that you would find in first or last names. They create a sense of grouping that you can easily understand. Such as Blood Elves having names with apostrophes in them (Kael’Thas, Lor’themar, etc) or Gnomish…
