Rumor Mill

"So, I heard the Blades were responsible for that slaughter in Westfall.. Damn, foul stuff.. A hundred corpses, 's what I heard. Several of them mutilated, ripped apart and stuff."

"Aye... Whispers say they were under some sorta dark influence, though. Eye witnesses say the deed was paid with money from rotting hands, if you catch my drift..."

".. Huh?"

"... *sigh* Undeads. I heard they met up with some undeads after the slaughter. Several of the blades showed signs of corruption too. Glowing eyes and stuffs.."

"You sayin' they aint the ones who done it?"

"Sure they were. Just sayin' they might not've been completely themselves, y'know.."

Eh, looking for work? I've heard that Sir Mathaias Hayes has promised a reward if you bring him the head of his former wife, Lorainne Grey. A sack of coins even! And even more coins if you bring the head of her new fiancee...

Hey, you hear about that fight over in Duskwood the other night... Well I say fight, they are saying it was almost like a small scale battle all the stuff that was going on. Spells fying about the place, gun fire, arrows, swords through people stomachs, the lot!

What? Though to be honest with some of the stuff thats been going on over the river lately I wouldn't be surprised. The entires place is filled with all sorts'a cultists and crazy stuff. It's why you won't catch me going into Darkshire.

Yeah, but this time it wasn't cultists, at least not all of them. They are saying it was them mercs that killed all them folk over in Westfall.

The ones from the Pig in Old Town?

Aye, the very same.

I always knew something was going on with them. They were all find and pally with the city guard when they first started working out of that bar, but the past few months there has been nothing but trouble.

Yeah, but this were something different. They say they were fighting each other. And I don't mean a squabble over gold or someone sleeping around with the wrong woman. I mean they were really going at it, some were in their tabard, some wern't. Looked like some sorta spit. Apparently them rumors about corruption were true an'all. The glowly eyes, the strange spells all of it. Apparently they got some sorta Warlock leadin' the ones without tabards. They say he can put a curse on ya with nothing but a wink.

A wink? You're taking the piss now mate.

Nah, it's true, they say thats how he got that woman who was in charge. Apparently he was all nice and chatty with her in the bar, gave her a wink and then her eyes started to glow. I tell ya, I'm not stepping foot out of this city without some goggles on... Hey, you think they sell them over in Miners street?

What?

Well, miners use goggles right?

Light give me strength.

Rumour has it that fat imbecile who plays boss in the Dwarven District went to Ironforge for a while... He's probably taking dwarves cooking lessons, HAH!

I hear Them Arathorians are swarming back to Arathi, dropping their mercenary jobs and the like, running back to the Ravens banner. Wonde whats spurred that into 'em this time?

1. Seen Ari lately? She's acting so different.

2. I didn't fail to notice that, the girl actually is laughing.

1. Wonder what has happened, don't get me wrong... it's a delight to see her open up like that.

2. Will be a shame if she leaves again, the children are truely fond of her by now.

1. Hope it'll not be too hard on little Tati, she's very attached to her.

What's up with that elf asking around for nobles all over town?

No idea. I hear she cracked someone down at the harbour's knee kap, left him bleeding in an ally because he didn't say the right things.. You shouldn't let their looks decive you.

"Some belf shouting in that sing-song voice around Stormwind last night"

"Yeah, I 'eard him an all. What's all this "Uruk" mean then?"

"Don't ask me, do I look like a belf?"

"Doubt your missus would complain if you did, hur hur"

"Oi..you're no oil paintin' yourself. Anyways, I heard some girl was heard shouting back, some arrangement to meet with him I heard."

"She'd better watch her step then, that missy."

huh see that? a fat sickly looking squid walking into westfall

No? why would someone ill walk threw a dry harsh lands?

no idea.. hard to miss her.. did you see how fat she was!! bet she eats enough food to feed us all in an hour!!

now now dont be bitter! she could have a condition?? bah who am i kidding! If I see her again im going to throw some mud at her!

"Seems to have been quite a ruckus lastnight in outside the Northshire Abbey, plenty threats were yelled about too. Think the zealots got attacked again?"

Some soldiers came to Tranquilien last night in order to investigate some ambiguous reports of unwanted activity in the Ghostlands. They questioned some of the locals, went south and returned, a bit paler than before. What is going on?

I've heard some druid attacked Horde catapults in Ashenvale some time ago. The druid was captured, but was released later for some reason. I wonder if those closest to the Warchief know.

I shouldn't really be telling, but you know th' Orphan matron Shellene, right? Well, last I seen she was all a flutter, what with the kids goin' missin'-..

Wait, missing kids?

That's right. Someone's been stealing away the children off the streets when they play outside the Orphanage.

Blimey... A kidnapper? I hope them mites are alive and well; who'd do such a thing?

Did you hear? That Trollbane girl, or Lionmane.. Whatever, I hear she got beat up bad by bandits.. I've heard she's dead.. I wonder how that idiot is gonna run the barbarians now.

"By the Light of the Naaru!" says one, "What is this wreckage? What happened here?"
"I am unsure, brother" replies the other. "Did you see that strange flash of light yesterday?"
"See it? I could hear it, and almost smell it, too. The smoke lingered for hours".
"Most worrisome."
"Most worrisome, indeed."
"Well, brother - there is one thing I do know for sure".
"What's that?"
"There is peace to be kept. Come on."

I wonder what's got him so worked up.

Whatever it is, he better not come bothering us about it.

For his sake or ours.

What do you think? I just about shit myself when I saw him. If he heads this way, I'm running.

Heard about the escapee?

No. Wait, that murderer? He escaped?!

Sssh! Keep your voice down... apparentley an old gnomish lady, the insane one-

Luna Winklescrew? Oh she's such a dear...

Yes, Looney Tunes. She was seen opening a portal to Stormwind for the convict. Not sure how he escaped myself. I heard he was wearing a collar that electrified his body with immense pain whenever he takes a step out of New Tinketown.

Well she must've been tricked, she's only a fragile, old soul after all. He could've even murdered her twin, after all.
