Now am not much of a… what shall i call it.. err.. the kind that collects things.. I’ve never really collected anything.. but one day i bought World of Warcraft and something clicked with me.. i dont know what it was.. but i was hungry for Warcraft.. and lots and lots of it.. now i’ve amased a pretty decent collection.. nothing unique or amazing.. but am proud of it.. and i thought i’d let you all see it.

Well what can i say, spent most of the Weekend keeping tabs on the happenings on the Blizzcon floor,  There is not much i can announce that is not already know.. but one thing i can ask.. what effect will Wrath of the Lich King have on the Lore of Warcraft, well to be honest i think it  will richen it.  We have alot of important characters moving to the cold north, Tirion Fordring, Rhonin, Sylvanas, Brann Bronzebeard, Bolvar Forddragon, Garrosh Hellscream… to name a few, thats alot of people.. some are surprising but all in all its good stuff.

As for news relating to me… Hrrm.. at the moment am going through a “lets change factiong” debate… I started as a die hard Horde players.. and i guess Horde is still my favourite faction, but i just looooove the Holy Light, so i thought i would at long last give the Blood Knights a trial.. at the moment am only lvl 8.. and enjoying it.. doesnt seem so diffrent.. but i shall come back to you when he is lvl 20+ by then i will know for sure whats going on.

Xan out!!

Am a big fan of the lore surrounding the class, Arthas, Knights of the Silver, The Naaru etc, So i decided when Draenei came along that i would make myself a Draenei Paladin, so i created Xandaar – Nothing to do with Buffy! – Now as i got to my later lvls i began hating the look of Xan as he is known.. so i re-rolled him with a fresh new look.. i loved it.. and still do.. now am lvl 40 and in a great guild am slowly but surely playing my Draenei more than any other and i can clearly say he is my main character now!

May the light be with you all!

Chapter 1
The Path to Maturity

I Started my life in a forest, i was born in Eversong, In-fact i lived almost all my life there, my mother, Ainala was a priest, my Father, Naika was a ranger of the Farstriders, I have two siblings, Niaka my elder Brother and Velana my baby Sister, Niaka was a training Paladin from the Knights of the Silver Hand, luckily he survived the slaughter at Stratholme, my Sister a former Mage in training is now training the new ways, i rarely speak to her these days.. she seems so distant and dark.

In my early life i always remember looking up to my big brother and thinking i want to be like him, however my path was to be that of the Ranger, his was another, Niaka grew up among the Humans and knew about the Holy Light from those times, I however do not follow such a philosophy mainly because it has faults.. i prefer to be Agnostic.. or atleast for most of my life i have been such, Now however am beginning to like Shamanism.

My mother and father where often away aiding one campaign or the other, either of a ambassadorial manner or dealing with a enemy threatening the borders, my father was always away for long periods of time, Once when i was in my early forties, i caught him speaking to a Elf, his hands seemed to be blue but i dismissed this as nonsense. After that day i began to wonder more and more what exactly my father was doing on those long missions, I eventually discovered that he would leave on a ship and come back on a ship, where ever it was, it was far.

I had my one hundred and tenth Birthday in what is now the Ghostlands, but once it was part of Eversong and was a most magical place, most of my family lived out in the wilds. On this day my father announced that he had to leave again, this time i decided to find out exactly what was going on, i was shocked to discover my father speaking to a black cat creature, he called it Sharr, it resembled a lynx but seemed very powerful, sadly it was also very good at noticing young Elves, i was found. That night my father told me of a Order he was part of known as the Nodachi, meaning Peace Walkers, they where started long ago before Azshara and before even the Night Elves, i was told that it was as old as any stone that i could find, i doubted this but listened to his tale, he told me that when his death came, i would take his place, he told me about Sharr, it seemed that Sharr was a very ancient cat from Ashenvale, how this beast has lived this long.. is beyond even me.

About ten years later i would pass my Ranger’s initiation Trial and became a full member of the Farstriders, it was the proudest day of my life, however something was causing me bother, my father had disappeared for almost three years.

So I’ve been playing Wow now for about three years, its a damn long time to play a single game however.. before you think am some kinda crazy addict of MMO games, don’t worry, i do other things, just that Wow takes up most of it heh!

Now, for the most of that time there has been four races in the Horde, Orc’s, Tauren, Darkspear Trolls and The Forsaken. Now for the majority of my time being in the Horde I’ve played a Orc, mostly due to my love of the characters that come from that race. However in February of this year along came The Burning Crusade, adding Blood Elves to the Horde and Draenei to the Alliance, I’ve played both and still do, However for most of my time since the expansion release i’ve refused to like the Blood Elves and even left the Horde for a long period of time, That time is up…

Out of pure curiosity i decided to try a Blood Elf Hunter to level 20, Now I’ll admit this with gritted teeth, but after Ghostlands i didn’t want to stop, now am lvl 25 and running around Kalimdor proud of my little Ranger. I play on the Earthen Ring (ER) Realm, I’ve played there for the majo- well all of my time heh, the reason: Role-play!

I’ve been a role-player since the early days of Star Wars Galaxies and its now something i expect from a any MMO.. Anyway am blabbing on now, so am gonna stop.. Anyway.. let me just go over what i plan to talk about.

Horde – This is where I’ll mostly go over stories, thoughts, debates anything to do with Mikoro or the Races of the Horde.

Wow – Anything that has nothing to do with the above topic basically!

Life – Anything outside Wow will be discussed here.

Hope you like it!
