1. D.E.H.T.A.? Feh. Bunch of druidic whack-jobs that have been sniffing the joss-sticks and listening to whalesong a little too long if you ask me. Still, they pay well, so, sure, I’ll protect the poor widdle animals.

2. Holy crap, have you seen how huge these guys are??? That stone shaman in Valgarde thinks we humans came from these guys. Right. Like I said, he’s stoned.

3. Can someone PLEASE tell me who thought it would be a good idea to let a bunch of the Lich King’s elite troops into the Alliance? They need to be smacked about the head and shoulders with a frozen trout. I mean, seriously? These guys are/were Arthas’ shock troops and we’re just supposed to accept them because the Ashbringer’s son is one of them and says they’re all peachy? Nether, Mograine had another son, too. Stabbed him in the back from what I hear. I’m betting the apples didn’t fall far from each other. It’s just a matter of time.

4. After the Kirin Tor asked me to torture a prisoner for them so they could keep their lily-white conscience clean and didn’t have to get their own hands dirty, I decided maybe Malygos has the right idea. Light knows I’m no stranger to a little application of force to learn what I want to know, but at least I’m honest about it. Not to mention what I do only qualifies as torture in the most literal sense of the word. Most people call it strong-arming. There’s a big difference between beating someone up to get what you want and keeping someone chained up and methodically hurting them.

5. There aren’t many people think of as genuine heroes anymore, but Fordring is one of them. The man is a living legend. Courageous, honourable, noble and unyielding in his loyalty to the Alliance, Fordragon is the kind of hero the Alliance needs in dark times like these. The fact that he remembered me from that whole debacle with Onyxia was pretty awesome, too.

2.Ari hasn’t really thought much about the Vrykul, they’re big and they attacked her. She may wonder more about who and what they are when more pressing matters are attended to.

3.It’s going to take a lot more than the King of Stormwind declaring them ‘redeemed’ to move Ari from her well known stance of “the only good undead is a dead undead”.

4 This is a hard one for Ari, they’re dragons after all and along with the Green & Red flights one that Ari has grown up respecting for their wisdom.
She even tends to agree with Malygos that the use of magic is becoming too commonplace,
It’s taken speaking with Alexstrasza to convince Ari that the Blue Flight and their intentions really are a danger to Azeroth, rather than just hyberbole from a few arrogant humans.

5. Human history isn’t Ari’s forte, he’s just a high commander in their army to her. (She never did the EP questline preferred Winterspring)

short version of the blog entry this inspired, really enjoy your Friday Fives, even if its invariably Saturday before I read them

1. Well, as I put it in chat, Rashona rode up to the DEHTA camp, listened to them for a couple minutes, said “you’re all a bunch of idiots” and rode off. Though she did help out with the traps.

2. Vrykul? Oh. More hostile humanoids; kill them if necessary and avoid them if possible.

3. Deathknights are totally on a case-by-case basis, which is Rashona’s approach to things in general.

4. No particular reverence for the Blues, but Rashona has a general “don’t upset dragons” rule, and it goes double for Aspects. Possibly triple for crazy Aspects. She’ll be keeping her head very, very low.

5. As for the Apothecaries…BAD feelings there to start, and now that spoilers have happened, she can count the forsaken she likes on the fingers of one hand. (Which, on a Tauren, is bad.)
