WotLK is where I started getting into the lore and reading the books. I think this expansion is really good about how they do it. Makes me wish I paid more attention to BC…Oh well, that is what alts are for.

Ooops. Well spotted (and fixed now).

I think knowing that there are alternative quests and lore you get on the other faction give a bit of incentive to play through again. I’m considering levelling an alliance DK just to see what the alliance quests in Wrath are like. (I can’t imagine that the vrykul are as cool as actually helping the apothecaries though — that just blew me away when I first did it )

“the local horde ambassador ” is a typo, Spinks. You mean local Scourge ambassador.

Very nice post and I love the Northrend Forsaken chain. Love HF too but am a little disappointed that Alliance got the whole story of the Vrykul lore but Horde didn’t.

Like all MMO’s there are those quests that stick with you, and some that are..well..meh.

I love the Forsaken as a race, because there’s alot going on there. They have no real place, even amongst the Horde. That comes to light a little further on in the questing of WoTLK.

All I got to say is…”Do you think that we have forgotten? Do you think we have Forgiven?”

best half assed quest dialoge that made me lol anyway:

Chief Plaguebringer Middleton at Venomspite in Dragonblight wants you to collect 8 Emerald Dragon Tears.

Description
With an inert specimen of the blight compound complete and the activating agent in hand there only remains a need for a suitable shell to house the components.

Southwest of here, on the shores of central Dragonblight, is where you will find the Emerald Dragonshrine. Within the shrine you will find the hardened remnants of a green dragon’s tear drop. I don’t know the whole story, but apparently they cry a lot right before they die. Go figure.

Go to the Emerald Dragonshrine and gather tears.

go figure….
