Kirith's 2nd Journal Entry



I have been rather busy here in Dolanaar.  The Sentinels here have noticed Furbolg activity in the area.  There have been reports that they have actually attacked and destroyed Starbreeze Village.  As the Sentinels are short-handed at the moment, I was asked to scout around the Village for survivors, check on the Furbolg activity there and then report my findings.  

I made my way north and snuck around the Village being careful to avoid the roaming Furbolgs.  The devastation was massive.  There were bodies everywhere.  The villagers had made a good showing as there were many Furbolg bodies mixed in with the dead elves.  No one was spared.  I actually cried when I saw the small bodies.  I carefully checked all the dwellings. 

As I was leaving the upper level of one building, I heard a noise.  Upon investigation, I found a male night elf still alive.  He was near upon death.  I pulled out one of my healing potions and prayed to Elune that my skill in alchemy was enough to save him.  After giving him the draught, he revived enough to tell me that his name was Gaerolas Talvethren and he was the Great Warden to the Druids of the Talon.  The druids were currently hibernating at the Ban’ethil Barrow Den and he had been on his way to check on them when he was ambushed by the Furlbogs.  He made it to the Village in hopes of getting aid, but found they needed help as well.  He joined in the fight to no avail.  He mentioned that he had observed the chieftan of the Gnarlpine tribe, Ursol, using Fel Moss to drive his tribe members mad.  He charged me with returning to the Sentinels of Dolanaar with this information.  I wanted to bring him with me, but he said he would slow me down and that he would find a way to get out on his own. 

I left him there with a heavy heart and made my way back to Dolanaar.  On the way out of the village, I ran into some a few rogue Furlbogs and had to fight my way out of there.  I am glad to say that my training paid off for me that day.  The fight left me feeling drained and week, but I couldn’t rest and finally made my way back to Dolanaar and gave my report.  The Sentinels immediately went into action.  Messages were sent for reinforcements, a few Sentinels went to retrieve Gaerolas and others went to start thinning out the Furlbogs.  I should have felt bad for them, but I still saw the images of the dead in Starbreeze Village and felt no remorse for them.

I rested a few days at the inn when I found myself summoned before Syral Bladeleaf.  The Bladeleaf family is known for their potions and elixirs.  She had heard about my healing potion that helped save Gaerolas Talvethren and she asked if I could make her some as their stock was getting low.  She promised me a very fair price for whatever amount I could give her.  With that in mind, I went out to the forest in search of the herbs I needed.  It took me a couple of days to get a good supply of herbs and then several more days before I was able to finish brewing the potions.  Syral was very pleased with what I had for her and I now have enough money to book passage on a ship to Stormwind in the Eastern Kingdoms.

I have heard that Stormwind is the major hub for the Eastern Kingdoms and all the Alliance races gather there.  It seemed to me to be a great place to start my travels.  I leave in four days’ time.  Until then, I will enjoy the sites of Darnassus and prepare myself for my journey.
