I spent time in the clink for crimes I did not commit. I have since then been exonerated from these false charges after a GM looked into it, but the stain remains…

I was about to post another, but that’d be too cruel. Sleep well, fallen soldier.

Why do good people get banned, when the guilty still survive?

65

false in ten characters

66

Even being flagged stops you from getting T3.

67

Runeblade’s can’t be the container for a Death Knights soul…

In Legion you go get three (well four) new ones.

DW the source is from Traveler.

Uh oh in ten characters.

I’m never going to reach Social Credit Level 3, got banned 4 times by now for comparing Blizzard to China (and their social credit system), for discussing previous moderation actions on the forums and for discussing orc/draenei offspring lore :<

72

Being called a Luckydon’t by a Grummle is considered the worst insult offered by them.
This normally happens when the person doesn’t smell ‘lucky’.

73

Ruh roh raggy.

So basically no one from AD is ever going to get to maximum level trust.

The Amani are good craftsmen.

“The Amani known as Otembe wields a magical hammer that is light and well-balanced. It lets him smith with great dexterity and efficiency.” Arathel Sunforge has you kill him for it, she compliments his craftsmanship (Quest: The Spearcrafter’s Hammer).

And later in the Ghostlands:

Helios also has you scavenge Amani weaponry so that they can use them against the Scourge “Better that they not go to waste” (Quest: Shadowpine Weaponry)

“Surprisingly well made, despite being stone.”

The Forsaken aren’t the only people to break free from the will of Arthas, a tribe of murlocs - of all people - in the Ghostlands managed it too!

" To find a cure for the plague we need to understand how it affects different creatures, from the most complex life forms to the lowliest subspecies.

I’ve come here to study the murlocs since, like us, they’ve retained free will in undeath. What makes these lowly mongrels so special? I need to find out, <name>!"

Falstad ate with gusto, seemingly enthused by the taste of the dried meat and fruit. Vereesa ate with less enthusiasm, dwarven fare not famous for its succulent taste in either the elven or human realms. She understood that they cured the meat in order to better preserve it, and even marveled that someone had found or grown fruit in this dismal land, but her more sensitive taste buds even now complained to her. However, the food was filling, and the ranger knew that she would need the energy.

  • Day of the Dragon, page 147

Dwarven food isn’t considered very good by other races, but it’s particularly filling. Elves also have more sensitive taste buds compared to other races.

He reached up and took an apple himself, biting into it. “There is a certain heartiness about food native to human lands that I have come to appreciate.” He smiled conspiratorially. “Sometimes elven food, while certainly delicious and attractively presented, leaves one still hungry for something more substantial.”

  • Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, page 51

Meanwhile human food strikes a balance between taste and filling. Elven food – while a culinary experience in of itself to the point one might even call it an art – is considered very light. And dwarven food just gets the job done really well at the cost of taste – comparable to rations.

Dodger doesn’t want to double post, this is his stuff

In Warcraft 3 there’s a group of dwarf dragonhunters lead by Feranor Steeltoe. They kill a black dragon and forge weapons in its blood, imbuing them with an innate fire enchantment.

In Vanilla we met Feranor’s apprentice who tasks you to get him a dragon’s heart in exchange for a fire enchantment.

As an apprentice to Feranor Steeltoe, I learned his special technique for imbuing weapons with fiery enchantments. Last I heard of him, he was working at a smithy with a hunting party up in Lordaeron.

can’t tell you too many of the details about the process, but I can tell you it requires blood from a rare, still-beating black drake whelp’s heart. I don’t have much to do waiting for word from Ironforge. If you bring me a heart from the whelps in Lethlor Ravine, I’ll show you my skill!

Ah yes, this will do excellently. This will enable your weapons to strike with searing heat!

So with the dragons dying out… will powerful enchantments and legendary weapons die out too?

78

Ashbringer, Doomhammer, Atiesh, Aluneth, Ebonchill, Felo´melorn or tons of other extremely powerful weapons weren´t made with dragon body parts as reagents.

79

We’ll just start using pieces of other, highly magical critters. Such as elves.

…now I’m picturing goblins factory farming elves for profit and immediately hate myself. The future of Kalimdor?

Most legendary weapons are, sadly, gone now though, as are the creators of those weapons.

Only Quel’Delar, Quel’Serrar, Shalamayne, Storm-Stave of Antonidas and Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian remain :<

Based on that esoteric lore, re. dragonblood, my knight’s ancestral sword is based on it. His ancestors slew a dragon with some dwarves and forged mighty weapons passed down through their respective families.

When your sword burns as hot as dragonfire :weary: :ok_hand:
