All the Strange Things Collected Thus Far

  • LOCATION: Any town the Headless Horseman tries to burn. FACTION: Neutral Orphans.  They’re everywhere it seems.  In the spring we have to deal with Children’s Week, where we lug this hapless kids around all of Azeroth.  Not just Azeroth, but Outland and Northrend now too.  In the fall we have to save their orphanage from…

  • LOCATION: Zul’Aman, Ghostlands FACTION: Horde Since the early Blood Elf quests, there has been an on-going battle for the lands of Quel’thalas between the members of the Amani trolls and the Blood Elves.  This has been going on since the Second War.  The Amani has a massive empire just to the east of Quel’Thalas (Currently…

  • LOCATION: Silvermoon City, Eversong Woods FACTION: Horde Ages ago I criticized the cats of Silvermoon, contemplating their purpose in the chic empire of the Blood Elves.  Well, my friends, I have an answer. They. Are. Supervisors. No joke.  The cats are the once who keep the brooms in line.  Just take a look at the…

  • Location: Splintertree Post, Ashenvale Faction: Horde Far to the back of the horribly designed Splintertree Post (Come on, would it be that hard to consolidate the entire place in a sensible fashion?  You got some of it in the walls, some of it outside of the walls, and even more of it on the other…

  • Location: Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale Faction: Neutral Now, don’t get me wrong. I like Booty Bay.  Yes, I know, I spent hours slaughtering their Bruisers and leaders to get a fancy looking hat, but in the end, I really do enjoy their city.  It’s a one of a kind place.  Look at almost every other…

  • Location: Near the Westfall Brigade Encampment, Grizzly Hills Faction: Neutral Tired of slaughtering legions of undead monstrosities?  Exhausted from battling the endless waves of Blue Flight?  Well, how about a trip down memory lane with some children’s cartoons?  That’s right. In the midst of the war zone of damnation and suffering that is Northrend, the…

  • Location: The Filthy Animal, Dalaran, Crystalsong Forest Faction: Horde While I’m sure that Horde/Alliance relations haven’t exactly been strong in the past, some of these rough translations of the Alliance used ‘Common’ tongue seem to be a bit off.  The only one that is actually accurate (to a point of astonishment) is the translation for…

  • Location: Dalaran, Crystalsong Forest Faction: Neutral If there has ever been a point to envy the NPCs of Azeroth, it’s the fact they can have last names.  Sylvannus Windrunner, Muradin Bronzebeard, Cairne Bloodhoof…  even the random people in the inns can have last names.  But the players? Nope.  Never.  Closest we get is Titles, and…

  • Location: Southbreak Shore, Tanaris Faction: Neutral One fine day, I got very bored and decided to see what the little stretch of land at the far south end of Tanaris was.  You know, the one that’s south of pirates, south of Uldum and on the otherside of the mountains with no actual means to enter…

  • Location: Felfire Hill, Ashenvale Faction: Neutral If you ever needed a reason to actually read some of those quest items you randomly pick up through the game, this is a good one.  I decided to flip through a copy of “Diabolical Plans” that drop off various demons in Ashenvale and found it to have an…
