Making our own Zandali holidays until Blizzard hashes some out
darkspearing.bsky.social Jora @darkspearing.bsky.social · Apr 27
❣️Guild hosted a spring celebration, Zandali-themed. Bodies danced. Blessings were given. Paint was thrown.

So much paint.

Crying that Blizzard was like "Sorry we killed all your Loa and the surviving one is now the Zandalari patron Loa, but you can have this consolidation pr-- I mean brand new Loa! Slender Man, Small Creature and Trash Loa! Aren't you happy?"

An oriental vision of "western" fantasy fairyland goes back to 1910's Lord Dunsany's fey cities in english moors have Islamic minarates, golden domes. The model for World of Warcraft's blood elf Silvermoon

"...a city of white marble and gold-tipped minarets... The city was obviously of the East..."
https://sacred-texts.com/neu/dun/tawo/tawo05.htm Nothing the shepherd had said was the least untrue or even exaggerated. The poor old man had told the simple truth, there is not a city like it in the world. What he had called thin spires were minarets, but the little domes on the top were clearly pure gold as he said. There were the marble terraces he described and the pure white palaces covered with carving and hundreds of minarets. The city was obviously of the East and yet where there should have been crescents on the domes of the minarets there were golden suns with rays, and wherever one looked one saw things that obscured its origin. I walked down to it, and, passing through a wicket gate of gold in a low wall of white marble, I entered the city. The heather went right up to the city's edge and beat against the marble wall whenever the wind blew it. Lights began to twinkle from high windows of blue glass as I walked up the white street, beautiful copper lanterns were lit up and let down from balconies by silver chains, from doors ajar came the sound of voices singing, and then I saw the men. Their faces were rather grey than black, and they wore beautiful robes of coloured silk with hems embroidered with gold and some with copper, and sometimes pacing down the marble ways with golden baskets hung on each side of them I saw the camels of which the old shepherd spoke. https://britishfairies.wordpress.com/tag/dunsany/ In parallel with these stories, Dunsany wrote others that showed that he built his fantasies upon a solid foundation of authentic fairy lore. The City on Mallington Moor demonstrates this. The narrator has heard of a mythical city that is sometimes seen on a distant English moor, perhaps in the Pennines. He travels there to discover the truth and gets directions from a local shepherd. Setting out, he follows a track that “was no more than the track of a hare- an elf-path, the old man called it, Heaven knows what he meant.” Such narrow paths through gorse and heather are called pixie-paths in Cornwall, so we are clearly heading in the right direction. A mist descends and the searcher has to lie down in the heather to wait. When the veil of fog lifts, a wondrous oriental city is revealed. It seems to have simply materialised or settled in this remote spot, but the visitor is able to enter its walls, wander its streets and speak to its exotic people. Eventually, he finds a hostel where he can rest for the night and falls asleep to the sound of singing. The story ends: “A small wind having arisen, I was awakened by a sprig of heather that beat continually against my face. It was morning on Mallington Moor, and the city was quite gone.” This conclusion confirms that Dunsany was well aware of the widespread British folklore tradition of people who stumble across celebrations in houses or find inns in places where they did not think anyone lived. They are well entertained and given a luxurious bed for the night, only to wake the next morning to find themselves asleep on the open moorland.

They are still likely Dark Troll offshoot by timeline

Dragonflight novel affirms that Trolls were around in the early days of the Dragonflights

Dazar is not the first instance of "Troll civilization"; Bwonsamdi predates Dazar by millenia

Levelled my way through the Laggy Eversong forest and made my way to Harandar, since I was curious on the Murals, that are (one of the many) reason Haranir get the rather harsh welcome:

The entire vibe of them changed, as well as the connections to dark-trolls. Have a read :)

A patient gave me Bad Vibes so I checked fetal heart rate again even though we had just done a monitorization 15 minutes prior and lo and behold the baby was Not Okay and we did an emergency cesarean

Doc said good job and said I can sleep

Showed up to night shift and the gynecologist was like, "You deserve more days off, you're one of the better students", and I was like "Oh but I have Monday off" and she was like "I grant you Tuesday off".

Based.

🔮 MIDNIGHT SPOILERS 🔮

Please, PLEASE, do not villain bat him, please let us have a guy who is complex and not always "right" without killing him. He sounds like such a wonderful character I don't want him to die. We deserve a male troll character to stay for good after Vol'jin, Zul and Rastakhan.

Deeeeeefinitely a villain speech right here.

Really hoping this ends up being an inversion, and Zul'jarra is able to pull him from the brink.

Sometimes you have clinical rotations where you don't learn what to do but rather learn what not to do, who you don't want to become, and what you plan on never doing 🙏

This quest has been changed on the alpha!

You are now explicitly given a personal choice between aiding the blood elves in escalating the conflict, or attempting to de-escalate by dissuading the blood elf forces.
