Send “Psst” for 10 Things My Muse has said About Yours Behind Their Back
“Look, I’ve been there, the Undercity. Back when I was a kid and Arthas wasn’t evil, I followed a cat down into the sewers and it was… it was bad, okay? It’s dark and damp and chilly, the kinda chill that settles in your bones because your clothes are wet and they’re not getting dry. Still don’t like small spaces because of it, and I was only down there for a few hours or days. He was down there for months. That he didn’t become a gibbering wreck or come back to kill us all is… mind-boggling.”
“I think the orcs are better than us at honoring their legends. We gave Alleria and Turalyon a statue in the Valley and left it at that. They gave Doomhammer the capital of their kingdom.”
“Wait, he was Blackrock? I didn’t… okay, yeah, he had that black-and-gold armor, but I thought he just… found it and it fit?”
“He’s an orc, so I assume the answer’s yes.”
“There are orcs in Acherus, naturally, and it’s… interesting, hearing them talk about him. You wouldn’t be able to notice it, since you can’t seem to get past the echoes in our voices, but I hear it. That man was a hero to them. The… There aren’t words, for how his name sounded coming from them. They called him honorable, and treated it like a strength.”
“But which came first - the Doomhammer, or the Doomhammer?”
“Sorta like you - blow to the back. Knight’s lance. Don’t think anything else’d work on him, save killing an Annihilan.”
“Nn. Hammers are overrated anyways.”
“During Kosh'harg, I think. Orc thing, celebration they had around Oshu’gun. Scourgebane told me about it. Something about Durotan and Orgrim meeting and being troublemakers. Pretty sure he was just trying to get a reaction from Warchief Thrall, ‘cause he was passing by and Crok’s a bit of a needler.”
“The real reason Doomhammer was such a bloody nightmare was because he was just about the only orc not stupid enough to think that drinking blood was, in any way, a good idea. It’s blood. There is never and will never come a time when drinking blood leads to happy things! It just doesn’t happen!”
