The tasks I found myself doing at Azure Watch was not very
taxing. They consisted of clearing the
infected nightstalkers in the area, hunting the stags for meat, gathering
medicinal plants and going out on patrols.
After a couple of weeks of this, I received notice that passage on a
ship to Stormwind had been booked for me in two days’ time. Amiia saw me off and told me to learn all I
could from these other paladins.
It was my first time on a sea voyage and I asked so many
questions of the captain and the crew that I’m surprised they didn’t toss me overboard. Yet they all took the time to answer my
questions and explain the functions of the different parts of the ship. The trip went by so fast and we were pulling
into port in Stormwind before I knew it.
I was met at the dock by one of the dwarven paladins, Dolim Brightfist,
who had come to escort me to Ironforge.
I could feel the Light radiating in him and I strive to have strength
like that. We took the Deeprun Tram
which runs from Stormwind to Ironforge for he said it would give us time to
talk. He spoke to me of the politics of
Ironforge and some of its past and present.
He told me of the surrounding areas and what has been happening in
them. He also gave me advice on the best
places to get ales and stouts – I’m not too sure how that is supposed to be
helpful to me but I’m keeping an open mind.
When we arrived, he presented me to The Council of the Three
Hammers – I felt an affinity with Muradin Bronzebeard and Falstad Wildhammer
but I took an instant dislike to Moira Thaurissan. Fortunately I will not have much doings with
the Council after that initial meeting as Dolim is in charge of me and my
training for the duration of my stay. We
do some training and he seems satisfied with my progress so far along my chosen
path. He has assigned me to help the
townfolk in Kharanos. The tasks are
pretty much the same as what I did at Azure Watch but instead of the pleasant
trees surrounding me, I am beset by the cold.
The dwarves are a sturdy lot.
They work hard and play hard and I find myself liking these people. They teach me much and I believe Dolim’s
intent was to get me used to the dwarven people and to let them get used to
me. After a couple of months, Dolim sent
me to Loch Modan. He told me that at
that point, my contacts in Loch Modan will send me to my next assignment and it
had been decided that each contact in the new place would send me on when my
tasks were completed.
I had made some good friends in Kharanos and they drank to
my health and sent me on my way to Loch Modan with many tidbits of advice. Upon arrival in Loch Modan, I met up with
Faldoc Stonefaith who was to be my contact for my stay there. Once I settled in, they put me to work. I hunted troggs, murlocs, bears, wasps, and
foxes among other things and I helped stop the Twilight’s Cult group of ogres
in the area. Everyone I came into
contact with has taught me something and I am gaining confidence in my skills
and myself. After many months calling
this place home, Faldoc is sending me to the Wetlands to help out where I can
there. I am now looking forward to each
new land I go to and the people I will meet there.
