A collection of Oddities, Rants, and other funny things about the World of Warcraft

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…

Location: Misty Pine Refuge, Dun Morogh Faction: Alliance Just off the road to Loch Modan you will find this strange little house on the side of the hill, it’s only occupant? A priest of the Argent Dawn, Father Gavin. Now unless the Scourge Invasion is on, I haven’t seen an abundance of Argent Dawn agents…

Location: The Gold Road, The Barrens Faction: Neutral (But they might hit you if your alliance) Just a bit south from the Crossroads (So Alliance, take in the sights before going on a muderous rampage), there’s a tent on the east side of the road. Inside are two female Horde Guards chatting away. They never…

Location: The Bazaar, Silvermoon City Faction: Horde Silvermoon City is full of strange characters that really don’t serve any purpose. It adds to the atmosphere of the place (unlike Ironforge’s dozens of completely empty homes). One such character is Rarthein. There is no secrets behind his name or his existence. He just wanders around the…

Location: The Great Forge, Ironforge Faction: Alliance Just wandering around the great city of Ironforge, you find a lot of empty homes. I hopped in one between the Mystic Ward and the Great Forge when I spotted some unusual bedside accessories. I know it’s supposed to be the goblins’ job to love explosives, but I…
-
Location: Crypt, Badlands Faction: Neutral Why, to see your enemies driven before you! Deep within the Badlands, just up the hill, I stumbled upon this lovely little pop culture reference to Conan the Barbarian. There’s no other real point to it all. The interesting thing is that they used a scourge model, which leaves some…

Location: Stonetalon Peak, Stonetalon Mountains Faction: Neutral (Can only be seen from the sky) I noticed this one on a fly by on the way to Ashenvale, and had to drop some additional coin to come back and confirm it (and snap a photo). But the Cenarion Circle is apparently extremely protective of the environment. …
