The Darkmoon Faire has arrived in Elwynn Forest. Tonight was just a preview but turned out pretty fun. Elessedil was finishing up in Dire Maul so Hogit started the flight to Stormwind. Hahaha, a Mage from Arsenal Team, needed a favor first from Hog. He requested mugs of Dark Iron Ale; easy enough, Hog could stealth to the bar in Blackrock Depths in no time, but what were they for? A carnie at the faire had lost her frog Jubjub who is strangely attracted to the ale! Upon arriving in Elwynn Forest there was lots to see and do; Arsenal Team was out in full force and even the Horde was joining the festivities. There was much drunken boxing and Blizz bashing, fortune telling, cheap beer and carnival food (Darkmoon Dog yum). Good times. Hogit eventually called it a night; the Faire will be around for the next week, and I still have my cards I’ve collected to turn in!

Elessedil and I completed the end of a long quest series, which began in the Eastern Plaguelands. A nameless hermit asks you to slay twenty Plaguehound Runts, five Plaguehounds, five Frenzied Plaguehounds, thirty Plaguebats, and collect fifteen slabs of Carrion Worm meat. After completing his request and earning his trust he introduces himself as Tirion Fordring. It seems his son Taelan Fordring turned from the Order of the Light and is now the Highlord of the Scarlet Order. He seeks memorabilia to turn his son and bring him back to the Light! After collecting the pieces, Myranda the Hag an illusionist, turns you into a Scarlet Crusader, I guess she doesn’t take into account gender (Elessedil became a human male and I a female). The bad news, we walked into Hearthglen and Taelan fought his way out but died before he could be reunited with his father. The good news, Tirion upon finding his dead son took a new oath to restore order to the Light and I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.
