REAL WORLD STORIES in QUESTS -1

1. CAYLEE DAK
If you are Aldor you may have noticed the NPC huntress, Caylee Dak, standing with her faithful panther at her side. There is a small quest which starts with a child named Alicia (located in the small courtyard in the Stormwind Keep) who will give you a beautiful poem.

The link below is the information about this tribute to a real-life player who passed away in August 2007. You can read about it here.

2. MY DEAR SARA…
This quest is based on the real life letter written by Sullivan Ballou at the Battle of Bull Run. The quest starts by swimming down to the wreckage of the bridge of Thandol span and locating the smashed dwarf under a large stone. Click on the “waterlogged envelope” in his hand to begin the quest.

You can read more about the life of Sullivan Ballou here.

3. SHRINE TO THE FALLEN WARRIOR
Atop a tall hillside just southwest of Cross roads is the Shrine of the Fallen Warrior. You can see the orc laid to rest there. A permanent Spirit Healer with a name floats aloft there, named Koiter. There is not a quest as of yet related to this, just a place to see in your Azerothian travels.

This is a tribute to one of the developers , Michel Koiter (one part of Twincruiser). You can read more about him here.
