Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

Even with the fading vestiges of twilight framing the city in mournful violet, my conversation with Zallas had put a spring in my step, one that a few hours prior I didn't know if I'd find again. I followed his lead as he seemed to wander around Orgrimmar, looking for...
Conquest: Echocall Crossing
The sounds of battle greeted us as we approached Echocall Crossing, wounded Disfavored leaning against rocks and trees for support. A Scarlet Chorus commander was yelling at his counterpart in the Disfavored, arguing about failed plans and "tactical retreats." After a...
