Move him into the sun—
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields half-sown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know.
Think how it wakes the seeds,—
Woke, once, the clays of a cold star.
Are limbs, so dear-achieved, are sides,
Full-nerved—still warm—too hard to stir?
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
—O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
To break earth’s sleep at all?

…Bringing a Varyis.
Perhaps it is your imperfection that which grants you free will, that allows you to persevere against cosmically calculated odds. You prevailed where the Titans' own perfect creations have failed.

I like this. Player characters actually taking place of lifeless NPCs in running some establishment, especially the Maul.
Makes the place more lively. One of two suggestions I've been clamoring for, the other is having certain fortresses and areas occupied by either Horde, Alliance or some other threat faction and fill them with NPCs.

Considering how much of a noob I am, I like to think that was a success!
The opening event is over, and you can consider the Thunderdrome to be in full swing! Woohoo!

It took four people in a row to take it down, but the Basilisk's finally bit the dust!
The next fight'll be posted very shortly, and will be a bit of a breather!

It's not easy to separate two bugs from two thousand bugs - give a hand to Riggs, Tessen, Kazzik, Sengara and Krimbo!
The next fight's gonna be interesting - as always, go here!

Holy moly! It's 7:00 AM and it was a tough fight, but we pulled through. No more bugs!
Next, a return to routine, likely! Go over > here for more info, as always.
