Razelikh was no match for me.

Deep in the Blasted Lands, I challenged Razelikh the Defiler.

I used this Felhound Tracker given to me by Loramus Thalipedes in
order to obtain Azsharite. This interesting creature runs towards
Azsharite when roared at! I never thought I'd give commands by
roaring!

Thanks to the efforts of Cairne and other Horde heroes, Thunder Bluff
is safe, and two of the elemental lords were slain. Here Mooglegem and
I offer our thanks and again pledge of loyalty the great leader of the
Tauren, Cairne Bloodhoof.

A horrible turn of events has occurred! I am quite used to the notion
of war in the world. In fact, I realize that Devee spends much of his
time at war, usually in Northrend. However, as his personal banker I
never thought I would see battle up close like I did today! Elementals
have actually attacked Orgimmar! Sadly my home city of Thunder Bluff
was attacked too! Being the Horde capital, I spend much of my time in
Orgimmar, but as a Tauren, I care a great deal for Thunder Bluff as
well, and I can not believe they could be attacked outright!

How could it come to this?!

I tried to fight them off, but what could I do? Me, a lowly banker,
with a simple tuxedo and glamorous diamond-tipped cane against fire
elementals?

I am scared to leave the cities but scared to stay within as well. I
feel like I've dishonored my people and the Horde, Why can't I be
brave like the heroes who fight everyday? Why can't I help?

I always thought that even heroes need bankers, but now I just don't know.

As cultist activity and dangerous artifacts continued to be found in
Orgimmar and Thunder Bluff, a great number of heroes poured into the
cities to help in any way they could. It was a good thing they all
came too, because the cultists' devices summoned elementals into the
city in an attempt to destroy it! The Horde's forces under command of
Hellscream in Orgimmar and Cairne in Thunder Bluff successfully fought
back the invaders with much help from the Earthen Ring. Four powerful
elementals were found to be working for Cho'gall - Grand Ambassador
Flamelash, Crown Princess Theradras, Kai'ju Gahz'rilla, and Prince
Sarsarun. In fact, it seems Crown Princess Theradras. Heroes went
through the very portals the elementals used and ended these four
elemental lords, but I wonder if they've been truly destroyed.
Powerful beings have a tendency to avoid death.

Here I stand with Garrosh Hellscream, Acting Warchief of the Horde. It
seems he has done well taking charge during this crisis with the cult.
His actions are, as one would expect, rather harsh yet effective. In
order to put a swift end to the cult, he has stationed guards outside
Orgrimmar tasked with searching everyone who enters. He's also set up
a makeshift prison in the Ring of Valor for cultist infiltrators who
are caught within the city. While I trust the judgement of Cairne and
Vol'jin more than quick-tempered Garrosh, I must admit that I doubt
anyone else would have been so swift to act. Sylvanas, yes, but I
still don't fully trust her motives.

I will continue to watch Hellscream with interest.

Squishy meets a giant Squishy in Nagrand.

Bulleto and I explore the Eversong Woods. Such pretty architecture!
I'm not sure how Bulleto manages to levitate though.

Is Bulleto emerging from a portal to the Dream? No, not really.

Here we pose in front of a statue of a human.

Bulleto and I explore the Greymane Wall.

I hate Silithus.

Preparing for battle in Silithus against Hive'Regal Hunter-Killer!

Mooglegem and I stand in front of a beautiful waterfall with her
elemental, Squishy.

My pet and I match!

A cult has been spreading unrest through Orgimmar and the Horde about
the end of the world! Mooglegem and I disguised ourselves and
infiltrated the cult in an effort to discover their intentions. It
seems they want to bring about the end of Azeroth and are working for
Cho'gall! They must be stopped before they do real harm!

A very small rabbit on a very large bear.

Exalted with the Zandalar Tribe!

Today I witnessed Thrall doing something I had hoped to never see. As
the elementals of Azeroth groan and cry out, Thrall has decided to
visit Nagrand for an extended period of time to study the elements
there in his role as a shaman. Unfortunately, he can't do that and
lead the Horde at the same time, so he has appointed Garrosh
Hellscream acting Warchief.

There is no doubt that Hellscream is a powerful warrior, but I doubt
his abilities to lead the Horde. He is rash and has a temper not fit
for a leader. In the past when he struck at Varian, I admit, I would
like to pat him on his back as warrior while reprimanding him for
forgetting the politically correct thing for a leader of the Horde to
do. Varian is the worst example the Alliance has, but I fear
Hellscream is quite similar.

I hope Thrall returns soon.

...and then things turned bad as I drunkenly danced with Bulleto in
front of Orgrimmar!

...and in my celebrations, I decided to dress up for the holiday.

I decided to celebrate Brewfest in style with two beers!

A quiet moment on a frozen waterfall while I explored the world.

A huge force of the Horde attacked Ironforge recently!

Here you see our lovely tabard made by the young daughter of Kigon!

Kigon, Darth, Mooglegem, and I managed to infiltrate an Alliance bar in Dalaran!

The battle on the Echo Isles was quite chaotic. Many Darkspear came to
retake their island, and many Horde heroes in general helped. Thank
the spirits, the Horde was helped by two unlikely sources. First, we
found Zen'tabra, a troll disguised as a tiger, on the islands. Without
truly being an avatar of a loa, Zan'tabra is able to take an animal
form in a similar way to the druids. She agreed to fight for Vol'jin.
More surprisingly to me, Vol'jin was able to convince Bwonsamdi, the
loa of the dead of the Echo Isles, to help defeat Zalazane.

I have had little positive experiences with loa in the past. I realize
that many trolls abuse their connections to the loa, but I have still
questioned the idea of worshiping or working with loa. I have
questioned my power in general for some time, and while he didn't
actually grant me power, it's interesting to witness a true loa help
my cause in such an active capacity. I've only been in contact with
one other positive loa - Zanza of the Zandalar Tribe.

With Zen'tabra and Bwonsamdi on our side, we were to battle across the
isles and retake them for the glory of the Darkspear and the Horde!

But I can't help but wonder about my brother.

Did he ever leave the Echo Isles?

If not, he's surely with Bwonsamdi now.

I will remember you brother, even if you made some horrible decisions.

Here we try on our new costumes.

Mooglegem and I recruit trolls from Razor Hill for the upcoming battle.

Vol'jin has always been a leader of mind and not might. Like Thrall,
he spent most of his time in Orgrimmar. In fact he was one of Thrall's
top advisors. I have never seen him take action like this until now.
The evil witch-doctor Zalazane has controlled the Echo Isles far too
long, and Vol'jin has decided that now is the time to retake it for
the Darkspear!

Of course, I have mixed feelings on this. The Echo Isles are the
closest thing the Darkspear Tribe have to a home. Thrall welcomes us
in Orgrimmar, but it isn't where we belong. Objectively I know that
retaking the island is the right thing for Vol'jin to do, and I'm even
surprised it took him so long so to decide to do so. However I can't
help feeling apprehensive. It is very likely that my brother is still
on the island. I know not what drove him to follow Zalazane. Being
years older than me, perhaps it was his increased exposure to the way
things used to be. I know he never wanted to come on Father's stays in
Orgrimmar as I did. Regardless of his reasoning, he followed Zalazane
and rejected the Horde and everything our family represented. As an
enemy of the Horde, he's my enemy as well... yet I hoped this day
would never come. Spirits, I ask that you grant me one request in this
endeavor. Keep my brother away from me. Don't let me be the one to end
his life.

A close-up look at my friend, Foures!

I thought there would be more peace now that the Lich King has fallen,
but it seems that we weren't so lucky. The Ruby Sanctum itself at the
Chamber of the Aspects was attacked! Inside was a powerful twilight
draogn - Halion. Luckily we were able to defeat her after battling
both in the twilight realm and the physical realm. I am thankful that
we could so easily end Halion, but I am also fearful of what she was
doing there. It seems to me there is an unknown factor at play in the
world.
