Note: This post was originally made on my Tumblr, but I figured I’d share it here as well. I’ve seen this question bounce around a few times since the announcement of Battle For Azeroth. So I figured I’d do my share of clearing up a misconception. The Horde and Alliance didn’t team up to fight… Read More Why ARE the Horde & Alliance Fighting After Teaming Up to Fight the Legion?
Location: Amberstill Ranch, Dun Morogh Okay, how come every single time I end up talking about Dun Morogh, it also ends up being some kind of kinky innuendo laced sex joke? What is it with dwarves anyway? They like putting some boom in the bedroom, dirty old priests hide out in their backyard, and now… Read More Sweet Sweet Dwarf Lovin’
Where? The Blue Recluse, Stormwind Mage Quarter His name is Steven Lohan. He works and operates a small tavern in the mage district of Stormwind. He has a brother, he has employees, and he seems to have a good life. But Steven Lohan is a lie. Because in the chaos and panic of the Shattering,… Read More Wolf in People’s Clothing
Where? The Crossroads, Northern Barrens Who in Azeroth steals a wagon? No, I’m serious. We’re talking about a fantasy world where zeppelins and helicopters exist, everyone rides around on wolves, dinosaurs, big goats or something, and you can instantaneously receive a full-sized war bear from a mailbox (Behold the power of SCIENCE!). Why would anyone… Read More Tie Your Wagons Down (Or You Ain’t No Friend of Mine)
Where? The Burning Steppes You ever notice that there’s always been a strong association with fighting and dogs? And I don’t mean in the abusive illegal Michael Vick kind of way (See that? That’s topical humor right there. Well, for me at least). But on an Alliance quest in the heart of the Burning Steppes,… Read More Let Loose the Worgs of War!
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… Read More Maybe In Dwarven It Means ‘Hello’?
Last post I discussed some of the reasons I felt there were to actually be proud to play an Alliance character. They stood against those who would see them dead, they sacrificed their lives in an unknown world for safety back home, and they managed to get Gilneas, Dalaran and Alterac to play nice (a… Read More The ‘Pride’ of the Alliance (Part 2)
Kiddo over at Journal of a WoW Kiddie posted an interesting thought about the lack of pride amongst the Alliance forces. It got me thinking about the topic too. Kiddo raises a lot of good points on the matter, namely the surge of spite at a number of King Wrynn’s recent actions as well as… Read More The “Pride” of the Alliance? (Part I)
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… Read More Lost in Translation
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… Read More Dirty Ol’ Priests
