A better test, and information on trolls as test subjects!
So, someone else had the great idea I did, and is better at coding than I am, so you have not only a better WoW Mary Sue test than the one I penned last summer, but a new Mary Sue … Continue reading
Packing my bags for Icecrown…
When I got back to the house this morning, after dropping off my latest bag of night elf ears to the Apothecarium, I found a letter from our Stormcaller. Who’s that, you ask? Well, her name is Aglin Vani – … Continue reading

A Very, Very Basic Azerothian Timeline
After Xannder’s lovely RP post, I can’t say that I have anything nearly as creative to add, so today I will stick to out-of-character RP resources. One of the things that comes in handy when deciding how to create your character is knowing the timeline. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into a blood elf who claims to have been born “after the fall of Silvermoon.” This is wonderful from the epic storyline angle, but when elves aren’t even considered adults until they’re almost 100 years old and it’s only been seven or eight years tops since the Scourge ate everything in Quel’thalas…it just doesn’t work. I might even roll my eyes at it, but since I no longer have any I suppose that’s not going to happen.
What would you ask of Death?
So we’ve decided to tell our story. Don’t rush us; we’ll get to the interesting parts soon. For now, welcome to our humble abode.
