Through my travels I've met many a fine souls. I ain't gonna name 'em fer I'll miss somebody. One day, I was runnin through Elwynn, returnin' home from Lakeshire an I met a fella on a mount. He was actually the first person I had e'er talke to that rode a horse. Oh, it was a pretty horse and was covered in some sort of armor. I had ne'er seen anything like it. His name was Brugarian an' he was tryin to develop a army to go an take back our homeland, Lor'Aeron. Well, I ain't ne'er been much on that war. Ifn e'erbody would just leave e'erbody else alone, we'd be all good. But, I had been adventuring and travelin for a while and hadn't yet met anyone I liked. He invited me ta join him. I rose some in tha ranks rather quickly and foun' another friend Praam. We would go out and complete tasks together when it was convenient fer us. Soon Praam disappeared an' Brugarian was around less an less. So, again, I was all alone. This was not ta last!

When Ladora came home tonight, she was clearly agitated. Her frustration grew when I told her I was headed back out to finish somethin. She protested, as much as she ever has, but I left anyway. I promised her I wouldn’t be long. An I wasn’t, but she was asleep when I returned. She actually looked peaceful, layin there, so I left her be. I’m sittin here in the chair enjoyin a good ale, kinda watchin over her. She seemed so fretted earlier.

09 November

Well, times are achangin! The Friends stone is a wonderful tool. I hear new voices all the time an have met lots of new folks. I ain’t much on them hearin my thoughts too much. Because I ain’t as good with words as they are. But, I love hearin the chatter. Jus like I like hearin chatter on our guild stone. Few things give me such enjoyment.

A few weeks ago me an Dora spent some time on the coast. It was nice. But all that idle time only gave me time to think. To think about things I haven’t in a long while. I tend to usually keep myself real busy. An while I got a lot of rest, there ain’t but so much sleepin a gal can do. Ryn has wrote a little bout himself an it made me a tad sad. All the folk in my life seem to disappear. Megar, Ben, my parents are all gone. Ben . . . gone . . . I hope he’s out there dealin with the death of our parents. I hope. An Megar, my first love. We spent hours trainin in the ways of the Light.

19 October

Naked. I feel naked. Yet I'm more clothed than I've been on many occasions. Perhaps it's the weight of the plate I miss. But the weapons! Whether I use a blade or stave, I swing it quickly and effortlessly. I suppose I'm jus more comfortable in plate. I'm usually one to stick my armor in my bags when I'm not out fightin. Yet, last night, I forgot I even had all that armor on. How can I not realize I have plate armor on? Strange indeed.

But back to the issue at hand. I do enjoy feelin the magic course through me an I like my those gnolls and wolves being half dead before they ever get to me. But boy, if they see me before I see them, I'm more often than not visitin the spirit healer. Squishy is definitely a different feelin!

It seems I'll be goin to Zul'Gurub this evenin. I do hope I know a little more what to do this time than the last. Thankfully, I know everyone on this trip. Some better than others. But I can talk to Em an Taina an Rita about what we're each gonna be healin an cleansin. I'm excited. I've never been on a trip where everyone was completely sane. That I look forward to more than anythin. Well almost more than anythin.

Oh! It's all Hallow's eve. Not that it means that much to me. I'll talk to the occasional inn keeper an see if I can get a little masque or somethin, as different parties are comin up. But I had my plate in Storwind last night. I went to pick it up an couldn't get through all the people! Drove me batty, gettin pushed around. Everytime I'd get up, someone would knock me down. I gave up several times. But I knew I had things I had to get done.

Ale's havin a party tomorrow night. I jus dunno about it. I'm afraid with the Horde an Alliance there, drinkin an carryin on, that trouble's gonna be stirrin. But I'm interested, an I'll go. I ain't dancin though! The drinkin--yes. Dancin--nope.

02 October

His pup woke me from a fitful sleep. I was stayin the night at Ben's. Somethin I hadn't done in ages. Ben was not who I missed tonight. I scurried about and threw on a robe. The pup excitedly barked and growled to alert me. Lookin through the windows, I surmised it musta been a stray wonderin through the streets. As far as I could see, I saw nothin but the empty streets an canals of Stormwind.

After softly scoldin the pup, I laid back down, missin his touch even more. Still not used to bein alone at night. Would I ever get used to it? Perhaps I should start stayin at the Inn again. How comfortin his arms are, wrapped around me as I sleep. I thought the lager & mead I shared with a friend at the pub would be enough to help me engage sleep. If it hadn't been for all the conversations of the evenin--hellos, goodbyes, doors openin, and doors closin--it perhaps would have been enough. My mind raced, early to rise in the mornin. A long day ahead. Oh, sleep please take me over! An again, I thought how easily I could sleep if I were in his arms.

I didn't enjoy stayin at Bens. How could I? Conversations with Malleyna, Rena, Trisseyl, Lendys all floated around in my head. A fitful sleep indeed. I called the pup over and dropped my hand. She laid down an I finally drifted off to sleep, absently rubbin her coat. Takin comfort in her presence.

20 September

It's been a while. So many things have changed. Our family has grown. Like the seasons, changes have been many. We've lost dear friends, some are fadin, an others remain constant (thank Elune).

No longer are we such a family centered on servin the will of Ysera. I can't decide this to be a good thing or not so good. I suppose good. In recognizin the diverse natures of our friends an family. But at the same time, I wish not to forsake our foundin principles.

I so want to improve our family more. I want to improve the resources available to our family. One thing about the Knights. Most are so laid back, they're happy jus havin company. An to an extent, I am too. No one want to hurt feelins. An that's good. But bein scared to speak up for the good of the guild isn't good. I'm not sure how to fix things like that.

I've visited Zul'Gurub. What a harrowin experience. I think I could take a group of Knights in. We'd certainly fall a few times but oh, we'd learn! We are almost to the point where we could get a group of 20.

A few guild things I'd like to focus on for now. Readyin ourselves to visit Zul'Gurub, get a few keys to the Upper Spire. An jus continue on trainin. Gettin better. Can I do this? I've delegated Darmi an Tennon for this an we've made great improvements.

How do we schedule more stuff? What times do I do it. -sigh- I'm jus not sure.

28 April

I awoke briefly this evenin, and guess what! I was right! Kell has returned to tha family! I can't believe it. I have spoken to him on the guildstone, but haven't yet seen him face ta face. Soon, hopefully! We should have a party! Yep, a party.

We've changed since he left. Our family's grown, we've all grown. Some of us are gone, dead or disapeared. Some of us have disappeared, returned, only ta leave again. Some have chosen different paths, somethin that better suits 'em. While some of this brings sad times, the new family members we have are awesome! Our family is awesome. I jus love 'em!

28 April

I've recieved a message from Kell. A little sparrow brought it to me. I do hope this means he's returning to us. He'd disappeared, with nary explanation, only a brief good-bye. But now, after so long, I've gotten a message. Oh, I do hope he returns soon! I've stuck the message here in me journal.


Dear Mira;
First off I must apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had my reasons for which I will explain.

I have recently been made aware of Rivkah's resignation and I'm truly saddened by this. But my saddness doesn't compare to the joy I felt when I heard that you were honoured as her successor. I don't think there could have been a better person chosen for the job.

Well I'm sure your curiosity warrants the reason for my abscence. The reason I left is because my family was in danger. You see I wasn't raised by elves or any humanoid race, I was raised by nature herself. She nurtured me, fed me, protected me and gave me her gift to commune with nature. I recieved a message from a falcon. It seemed that my grove was being destroyed and unbalancing it's tranquility. That grove was not only my sanctuary but my brethren, the animals as well. Turns out that the orcs were doing some clear cutting for war machines. Needless to say I have been fighting my own private war up til recently. If you wish you may share this with the others, I leave the discretion to you.

Lastly, your probably wondering why Dai, the sparrow, is still sitting on your shoulder. If you wish to send a responce, give it to day, along with some crackers. I look forward to seeing you again soon and may Ysera bless you and guide your path.

Your Brother
Kellendros.


Oh, I hope ta see him soon! It has been way too long. Though his travels have been painful. Hopefully, he can put all of it behind him. I have missed him so!

28 March

Well, I've been restin a bit more. Ladora is workin hard ta get ta where she can go to tha big places. I never knew her ta be one adventurous. But I should've. There was no stoppin her when she wanted ta go back home. Fer one so proper, she sure does have a fire under her arse!

One reason I been restin is cuz every time I get into a good fight, I start movin in slow motion. I try stoppin ta rest, but if that helps, it's only fer a moment. Golech has a bit o the trouble also. Course, he says it only really happens when I'm around. Hmm, it happens ta me a lot more when he's around. Well . . . he is a magnetic sorta fella. But . . . well . . . I mean . . . he's a good friend . . .

22 March

Long ago, I began keepin company with a certain Warlock. I know not many Paladins would do such a thing. However, why not? You certainly can't trust many folks. Why not keep company with someone you know you got ta keep an eye on? I find it harder ta make friends these days. I am way too suspicious. I can't help it though. I've been wronged too many times. By folks who make out ta be good. And in the end, they're no better than the most vile Forsaken. I've had enough. I do nothin but be nice ta folks an they take advantage of ya. Make ya feel guilty. Piss on em. I am done.

I may not be tha smartest or tha most graceful. But no one else is any better than me! This I know. So, I'll spend time keepin company with my friends, those I know I can trust. An my Golech. Those that love me fer who I am. An have no unreasonable expectations. An I'll laugh erytime I think about the holier-than-thou attitudes of the vile.

13 March

Well, Felspar and I were lucky enough to be invited back to the Spire this evenin. That makes two times I have been there and two times I have helped slay the General. I a am very pleased with the groups I have been with.

The first time in, I knew my group an I knew Em's group. Xerxces lead the way, and is an awesome defender. The Knights grow stronger and better each time we adventure under him. Anyways, Fronzak, Golech, Felspar, and myself were on that trip. There were a few folks that the Bastion knew and invited. For the most of us it was our first time. We went slow, we all perished one time because of a very stupid mistake which I don't even remember now. It should not have happened. Against the general, we did good, a few died, but we were able to bring em back to life.

I now carry the Mark of Drakkisath. I'm not so sure I'm happy bout that. Carryin tha some mark of a dragon?

11 March

The city of Stratholme saw us again. Wow what a trip! After the trip into the Spire an me dreadful trip las night, I spoke with Em and Xerxces about perhaps gettin some trainin. Well, lo and behold they asked us ta go to Stratholme tha very next day! I needed holy water from the dreadful place, an I got it now.

In the group was Felspar, Lanaki, Fronzak, Golech, an myself. An with their group was Xercxes, Em, Lendys, Tyree, and Zeral. What fun times!

Though I got quite ill, and had ta leave me friends early. I was very upset. But I felt I was doin more harm than good by bein there. Luckily, Mograthna joined up with 'em an, well, I'm sure she did a better job than I did, anyways. Golech said later he didn't enjoy himself near as much after I was gone. An, Lanaki and Felspar frowned at me when I was a leavin. But I tried lying down an catchin me breath. An it jus wouldn't work.

Well, I'm happy ta say, that near the end, this hear Lightforge Belt, I's wearin was dropped by somebody. An guess what! Even though someone won the roll, they decided it should come to me! My first class set! While gear ain't ne'er meant evrythin to me, I sure do like what this here belt does fer me as well as how it looks. Oh, I will enjoy having matchin armor some day. I will!

04 March

Our first trip inta the Spire. Upper Black Rock Spire. UBRS as lots o folks calls it. Twas an intresting trip. I felt like I's workin on slow motion a lot. Not sure what was goin on there. But, we were successful in what we went fer, I guess. I won't after nuthin in particular. There were a few mistakes, a few hard fought battles. I was with Golech, Felspar, Fronzak, and Em. With Em, was a group from her guild, Xercxes, Zeral, Tyree, an Lendys. There were a few more folks, I didn't really know, but Em or Xercxes did. Bein my first encounter to such a place, it was lots of fun.

01 March

Well, we ventured into Stratholme this eve. Damned place. I wouldn't mind neer goin back. But, we will, probably within the next few moons.

It was Felspar, Golech, Kazzi, an myself. Demetrious, the rogue joined us then Lanaki came an replaced him. We made it a ways in, but not near far as we woulda liked. But we had fun an' didn't die but oh, um . . . too damn many times.

O'course, none of us had ever been into tha city. 'Cept for Dem, o course. Hopefully, our next trip will be better. Hopefully . . .

14 February

How strange . . . There's some strange stuff goin' on, in these parts. Loyalty, friendship, love . . . Most of it seems quite silly to me. However, I received the most gorgeous dress in the mail. From a complete stranger! It's black and very nice. I shall wear it at our next guild meetin', I think.

Ladora hasn't been interested in all of this either. She's had a few people to approach her about "Spreadin' the Love". And they have been offended when she said she had no interest in all this love stuff. Thank Elune that she realizes a holy priestess such as herself, has no need for such trite things.

I must be going into Stratholme soon. Will that be the end? I think not. I think the tasks at hand to finally attain my epic mount will be far more involved than that. To Stratholme . . . and beyond.

6 February

Ladora and Dassar both grew strong enough to be trusted with their own mounts! Ladora had received a sizeable gift from a friend, so she did not need any assistance in purchasin' her mount. However, young Dassar needed a bit of help. I was able to help him because my Shoulders sold at auction. He got a white striped nightsaber and Ladora got a white spotted one. They both look at home on them, I'm told. Of course, I have yet to see either of them. *sighs*

Ladora was fortunate to have Bellazar with her when she was picking out her new mount. What a decision! I swear, she has as much trouble with decisions as I do! Anyway, he was able to guide her in making a decision. Afterall, he had taken care of some bankin' and other business waitin on her!

31 January

I picked up my first epic item last night. Off a little fledglin chillwind somethin or 'nother. Stockade Pauldrons! um . . . Wow! I was tickled shitless. But, I'm gonna sell 'em. I need the coin far worse than I need the additional 100 armor. Oh, I hope I can get a good price. Got much I'm needin to pay fer.

28 January

We held our first Officer's meetin today. It was a great success. I wish the other forms of communication were as successful. Lanaki and Kellendros were unable to attend. However, everyone else was there and we were productive! I'm lookin forward to the next one.

We'll be havin guild day the end of next month. Hopefully, this will be the beginnin of quite a tradition.

27 January

Felspar and I achieved our 60th season tonight! Whatever that means! How very exciting! Golech joined us as it drew time for Fel to grow stronger. Now what to do? *sighs* I suppose I should get my epic mount. I must make some money. With the guild growing, and members getting closer to being able to purchase their mounts, I need some money. *sighs* Money. Never cared much for it. Now I am forced to.

24 January

Well, I am growing quite bored. I am required to head to some new far off places I have never been to. I am finally ready to go. Is everyone else ready? I hope so.

I am getting used to running the guild. I have some good ideas, or at least I think they're good ideas. I have several officers who are willing to help me out and make some suggestions. I'm ready! We're gonna make this work. Even if the two people who founded the guild are quite happy just running off and leaving everyone else high and dry.

I plan to finish up in Silithus this evening and hopefully head to Winterspring soon, very soon.

19 January

I've been hanging out in Felwood for the past little bit. Tying up some loose ends. Most of my time has either been with Felspar or Lanaki. I gained a bit of experience up there. Where to go next? I'm thinking traveling back to Azhara, to see if there's anything else there for me to do and then on to Silithus.

14 January

What a strange, strange day. Earlier today, the guild was discussin' some things to become less . . . stagnant. I must have fallen asleep for a while, but when I came back to, I was elected the new guild leader. This is due, of course, to Queen Rivkah's absence of late. We decided to remain with the Knights indefinately, or until Lady Rivkah returned. Of course, there was really nothin' different I could do. But, the Knights felt they had a leader with them instead of in the far lands tryin' to catch but a glimpse of her Lord.

Later in the eve, as I was in the Far Lands, Rivkah returned. She returned from the Far Lands! She spoke to the guild mates telling them she would be in the far lands fora while longer and in her absence was appointing me, the human, as guild mistress. I returned from the far lands just in time to see my promotion. I was taken aback and speechless, really. Why me? Why not Fel? Hrm. Strange goings on, I say.

Can I return the guild to it's glory? Nay, not alone. I need my officers and Knights for that. It shall be a group effort.

8 January

Golech and I returned to the Plaguelands this eve. We have finished our business in the Eastern Plaguelands, except for visiting Stratholme. We have several rounds to make there, We decided to wait a while before venturing forth. I believe we'll need a good group to travel the distance with us.

The poor, lost souls of Darrowshire. I free as many as possible, however I'm afraid there are many more. Many that will be lost for eternity. Poor Pamela Redpath's father, I believe him to be one of these. Hopefully, we'll be able to help him in the past so he won't be lost anymore.

6 January

Lanaki joined Golech and myself in the plaguelands. What a dreadful place! We were able to take care of several matters, quite easily. Lanaki has been a good friend and a huge help. He is nearing his 60th season. I cannot wait to congratulate him. Golech, Felspar, and I are also nearing our 6oth seasons. It cannot come quick enough for me!

02 January

Well, I reached my 56th season with Fel today. Golech appeared for a moment and then went back to far lands. He returned later this eve and we ventured back to the plaguelands. With Lanaki's help, we were able to collect fluid from the cauldrons around the western plaguelands so a concoction can be made to counteract whatever those undead of doing up there. Lanaki also led us to the Eastern Plaguelands where we discovered Lite's Chapel, Darrowshire, and Plagueland. We collected some termites for a fella at Chillwind Point. Gettin those termites was a chore! Good thing I have the ability to sense the undead. Both Golech and Lanaki were attacked by some courier and his bodyguards. I ran and hid. They were able to will themselves back to life. We also found little Pamela Redpath. But it seems she wants her dolly. We were all quite weary and decided to wait until later. I'm snuggled into my bed here in Iron Forge.
