The adventures of Maeglin

Transfer to Zangarmarsh

2007-03-12T16:12:00.000+01:00

I have moved my operations now to the fungusforest of Zangarmarsh. There are some quite challenging creatures here to be found. My current base of operations is a town build around a huge mushroom. This is a strange world indeed. My position here also enabled me to explore the west side of the Hellfire Peninsula.

More Fell Orcs

2007-03-01T21:57:00.000+01:00

I had my fill of the redskinned brutes. I know the green version from Orgrimmar. Sometimes it does not even come to blow, although i hate them, but these red Orcs. Spikes coming fron any part of the body.

Last weekend i performed an attack on the Ramparts. Fell Orcs plenty. I must say it was a rather profitable run. I finally achieved level 61 in the process.

I also turned my focus to Engineering. Ever since i wielded the Owlsigh rifle, i have become rather attached to these boomsticks. Time to learn to build my own.

Bombing runs and demons

2007-02-19T10:17:00.000+01:00

This weekend was a busy one, compared to the usual action going on in Hellfire Peninsula. After doing some damage on the Legion Front, i was summoned to do an actual bombing run against 2 portals. This was such a succes that they send me to a small floating rock. From there, flyers make regular runs against demon entrenchments on the Abysmal Shelve or whatever the name there is. So also me. 3 bombing runs laters i left a score of demon wargear in smoking ruins. I also spend a good part of sunday fighting demons head on. And then it happened. I reached level 60. This earned me a short reprieve back in Ironforge for training and R&R. R&R in the form of a trip to Moonglade to celebrate the Lunar Festival. I forgot how tranquil Azeroth was.

Quickly however i found myself back in Outland again. Seeing how far i would get on my level 60. The answer to that was the edge of the Blade Edge Mountains. I think the swamp i crossed may be a interesting for some further exploration once i gained a few levels.

Level 59

2007-02-14T20:25:00.001+01:00

After some more hard training, I finally achived lvl 59 and the capability to wield a dual-handed axe. I found a very nice one recently. Hitting anything is still difficult, but it seems I can finally cause some damage. At the homefront, trade is slow. I got report from Exodar from my trade associate, that leather is not in high demand at the moment. He did sell some equipment however. Market is crazy anyway. I hope things will return to normal soon.

First adventures in Outland

2007-02-04T22:42:00.000+01:00

My first tour in Outland. Immediately i was summoned by the vanguard forces of Warrior Nation. Seems even in this forsaken realm the Horde has nothing better to do then to kick out asses. After a tactical retreat i ventured around the base and killed some of the local wildlife: crazed boar-demons. After a while, i came across a small allied camp. They asked my assistance in marking a few towers from a Orc base a shirt distance away. Red Orcs.... Better got me some assistance from Dekan, an able human warrior. Together we cleared most of the camp and i set the markers. In a moment's notive, Gryphons soared over and dropped explosives. I doubt we hear from those red orcs anywhere soon, or will we ? I received a armor piece for my trouble.

Today i went on a little trip. In the southeast i found a passage to a very strange forest, leading to a even stranger city. Shattrath by name. I think i should investigate there at a later time, but after picking my flightplan from the local Flightmaster, i went off to what seemed a sort of backdoor. I ended up in Nagrand.

If the Barrens ever looked less barren, this is what it would have looked like.

Outland at last

2007-02-02T10:07:00.000+01:00

How long has it been since i left Andrassil for Dolanaar, left Dolanaar for Darnassus and crossed the sea to Auberdine. A long time indeed. Now, this morning, finally happened for what i have been training for weeks.

This morning i packed my things after hitting level 58 in Winterspring. They told me it was wise to prepare, so after speaking to a trainer in Darnassus i went to our local Auctionhouse. I spend a good 100g worth of equipment and set out for Auberdine again to catch the boat which would bring me to the Eastern Kingdoms. After reaching my destination, i got me a flight to Nethergarde keep and from there to my final destination, beyond the Dark Portal.

On the other side i found myself in the midst of a battlefield, watched by a bird. After looking around, the bird was gone and Resheph stood before me. He was a veteran druid and this bird seemed to be his newest skill. He has been in Outland a deal longer and welcomed me in this unknown realm. After pointing me to the local flightmaster, i reported in at Honor Hold. From there i will see what adventures await me.

This i know, Azeroth i will not see for a long time to come.
