I am but a mere tourist in Azeroth, complete with bad Hawaiian shirt and socks with my sandals...okay - so here is what I am going to do - take a little tour and give this information the honor it deserves. <br /><br />/nerds ruleMattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504775167541916213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-1481183396679880232012-09-21T19:14:42.677-07:002012-09-21T19:14:42.677-07:00Oh Matty, I believe you've never heard of Tura...Oh Matty, I believe you've never heard of Turalyon and Aelria. Take a closer look at those plaques in Valley of the Heroes in Stormwind. You know that big guy in the middle... holding the broken sword? That's Turalyon, leader of the expedition into Outland (which is where he disappeared), he was also 2nd in command to Anduin Lothar and that broken sword he holds Lothar's sword. Aleria is Slyvannas's sister (there are 3 Windrunner sisters) and also a hero from the Outland Expendition (which actually all the statues of people were part of). She and Turalyon were an item and both went missing. Only ones still missing from the "Sons of Lothar", as Khadgar, Danath Trollbane and Kurdran Wildhammer are all alive and well. <br /><br />If you visit Honor Hold you will actually meet Turyalon and Aeleria's son (half human/half high elf). You will also see in the center of the town a giant stone monument with a plaque from Turyalon exclaiming: "In remembrance of the Supreme Allied Commander, Anduin Lothar: A man who would sacrifice everything in the defense of his king, his people, his home...<br />Let our enemies know our names. Let our allies honor our passing. We are the Sons of Lothar."<br /><br />He's of course one of my favorite characters next to the guy who was his mentor and where I got my name from I chose so many years ago. <br /><br />/end nerdlore<br />Lotharhttp://www.lsdarkness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-81433548158232765282012-09-03T13:25:38.123-07:002012-09-03T13:25:38.123-07:00Your frustration send disheartened are so eloquent...Your frustration send disheartened are so eloquently written I almost have tears in my eyes.

Players have been through generations of this in Azeroth, and I kind of feel like I haven't 'paid my dues' enough to complain. I just wish they had given shamans one damn, even if gimmicky, fun thing. And they wonder why players leave, or justify it when they do. Instead of the scrolls, or the tanking/healing goody bags, or the bones they throw, just some solid fun for everyone, every class, would be a decent direction. This just means I was right in my alt-ness, so if they love doesn't come for one, there's another one waiting in the wings. <br /><br />Sigh. <br /><br />Thanks Tome.

Now she just sits around town making money and pretending she's a wolf.<br /><br />She sends /hugs to Matty, who unlike her will find her way!Tome of the Ancienthttp://tomeoftheancient.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
