Today I spent quite a bit of time in the Ghostlands. It appeared I was never actually released from the Quel’thalas military, meaning that I was drafted by the various people requiring aid into all sorts of jobs. Clearing out filthy Troll Catacombs, helping defend Tranquillien against the Undead, clearing out old Elven towns…
Everything takes so long, it’s infuriating! And yet, I enjoy helping my people, in a way. I admit, I don’t have the crazed altruism of some of the Human or Draenei paladins, and if I could, I’d much prefer I have no chance of dying from being unseamed from nave to jaw, and I’d frankly hate it if I contract a second case of Ghoul Rot, but I suppose since I’m already in the Silvermoon Guard, I may as well fight, right?
I’ll have to mix up some potions now that I’ve written this. Nothing truly amazing happened today.
Oh, dear! I nearly forgot! Something did happen today!
I was assigned to the Amani Catacombs, as I pointed out earlier. I marched in; it appeared that the Amani trollish priests had begun raising the dead trolls, so it became my job to light the corpses that hadn’t already been raised aflame so that there would be no more corpses to raise. It was dirty work, made even more difficult by the dozens of Amani priests and mummified trolls wandering the area. Zangzazt, my Voidwalker, compared the underground caverns to the hive of a bee, and it was quite apt; the area had a vast number of criss-crossing passageways, was filled with trolls doing Light knows what, and it definitely couldn’t be understood by any other than its inhabitants. What kind of culture would do to its dead what the Trolls do? They wrap them in cloth, and bury them under the earth… So uncivilized!
Still, my time on this world has taught me that each culture will do what they will. Still, it does bother me what they do… Of course, Amani in general bother me. I fought them for well over a hundred years in the army… I guess I’m a tad biased!
I shall take off now to mix up my potions. It may take awhile… I waited far to long to make the batch.
