At first the bizarre, serpentine creatures are easily repelled, but they quickly start putting up more resistance and becoming more aggressive. While once content to feed on forest creatures and the occasional livestock, recently [...]

Random Encounters: Seventeen

So something funny happened…
My post on blood elves was picked up by www.worldofwarcraft-news.com! Yes, www.worldofwarcraft-news.com!
Actually, the “-news” was a little annoying, because for a few moments when I looked at that link my eyes refused to recognize it, and I actually thought that not only did someone at Blizzard read my blog, they’d linked to [...]
