Alirsara

She’s beautiful, Morium couldn’t be prouder and I actually cannot be any happier. We named her Alirsara- After Morium’s mother who is a very sassy woman I’ve come to find out first hand. She let us stay with her at the end of my term and has told me so much about their culture, so that I could better raise my daughter.

Time has really passed by, first it all started with a few attacks on Fort Summergale... Still need to change the name to that place -  And I needed someone to take charge... After a few people I came to rely on Pinnel Reaming... Or Goldengear as she’s come to legally change her surname. She told me that she would weather the storm and told me to go ‘pop out the kid already’. I hope she does well, I really do... But also Tyron came back! He was the main reason for Morium and I escaping to Darnassus to his mother’s. I took some time after giving birth to Alirsara to find Tyron and put him down just to find an Orc, one of the ones who attacked me back in Orgrimmar was responsible for the ex-husband coming back. I let him live and made him perform a blood oath to never pursue me again.

I look at my daughter as she sleeps now and I think one of the most important lessons I could ever teach her is to tell the difference between a man who is trash and a man who is treasure. As it turns out they spell out the difference between life or death.

Serpentbloom

Found only in caverns throughout the Barrens of Kalimdor, serpentbloom is a rare herb that is difficult to harvest. The petals and flowers are dark in color and, as the plant only blooms in dim lighting and shadowed corners of caves, finding it can be wearisome. However, the use of serpentbloom far outweighs the toil of collecting it.

This elusive herb has been used by druids to help ward off nightmares and other unfortunate ills that threaten those who dwell in the Emerald Dream. In large quantities it can reverse the effects of the nightmare on those fallen prey to it. Unfortunately due to the limited growth of the plant and the amount necessary to attempt it, those measures are rarely taken. The plant needs to be fresh and any magical means used to preserve it during transport sap it of these restorative properties.

Coiled like the creature it gathers its name from and the patience needed to collect it, serpentbloom has come to hold a meaning of stoicism and waiting to see how the situation at hand unfolds. Often it is sent to those with a mind full of folly who rush into endeavors - romantic or not - as a chastising reminder to bide their time. When given as a gift one may assume the sender is telling you to be patient and wait, to let things cool before you make a decision.

On occasion, a parent or mentor may send it to a young person who is captivated with a lover they've only recently met.
