Day in the life of a true Blackrock Geezah.
Wake up an’ meet the wife Moira.
My lil’ empress isn’ she bootiful?
Toime to take Dagran to footbomb.
Rev up the Molegatti WHEEEEEY
Quick stop at the Guzzler and load up tha’ plate.
Get a pint (Scran)
Coalpits lookin’ lovely today lads.
Just a bit o’ banter.
Pint makes a 38-0 loss bettah.
Pop down to th’ local pride.
Good ol’ pint LOOK AT THA’.
Moira made dinner, LOVELY.
Pop down ‘ave a couple pints with th’ lads.
And finish up at th’ fortress o’ dreams.

speaking through ‘one of the many females under their care’ has so many implications that would’ve made night elf rp so much worse

in some respects I am glad the night elves only have fleeting resemblance to the drow

There’s a lot of old (and often forgotten) aspects of WoW lore that would make RP very difficult. The status of Troll women, the aforementioned Night Elf deal… just everything about the WC1 Orcs.

Now if we could forget the recent chronicles stuff as well that’d be great.
