Guide Entry: Blight Boar (Musical Group)
While many of the Elite Tauren Chieftans (ETC) and their powerful songs, the Forsaken-based musical act known as Blight Boar has become another hit favorite with those who attend the Darkmoon Faire.
The band’s four member ensemble is made up of: - Devyln Styx (Vocals) - Jon Graves (Lead Guitar) - Cage Head (Bassist) - Fiddlesticks (Drummer)
Referred to as ‘death metal’ by the band members and its manager, Jay Maguire, the band performs regularly in the aptly named ‘Cauldron of Rock’ to the east of the main fairgrounds. Die-hard fans who attend the performances are quite the enthusiastic (and possibly slightly rabid) bunch, referring to themselves as ‘blightheads.’
The band’s songs on the whole are simple. They generally follow the familiar theme of boy meets girl, the two fall in love, inexplicably die and are later resurrected by some malign villain for reasons never adequately explained.
When asked about the band and it’s performances, manager & producer Jay Maguire stated:
“This is the illest, realest, deadest band you’ll ever see! They will melt your face off, figuratively and literally! Uh, speaking of, don’t forget to sign that waiver there...But yeah, before I met these guys, I was alive and had all my skin! Now I’m dead AND filthy rich!”
Editor’s Note: The said waiver forms were in fact liability waivers that absolved the band, Maguire and the Faire from any and all injuries, maladies, and/or unfortunate means of demise that might occur at a Blight Boar concert.
On the subject of the band’s earnings from their shows, Maguire noted that the band’s fabulous wealth had pushed the boundaries of goblin economic theory. Furthermore, in recognition of his work in the fields of economics and engineering, the band’s goblin accountant has recently been appointed as an archmage and lecturer for the Kirin Tor due to his arcano-engineered marvel, The Arithmo-tron (a rather ingenious device which allows the band’s finances to be accurately managed by using temporal magics to keep a team of goblin bean counters in a suspended point in time.)
Currently, the only place on Azeroth that will host the band happens to be the Darkmoon Faire’s grounds, which opens a veritable can of worms in regards to their extravagant wealth...
