I met a Nightborne Leyline Navigator at Ashamane's Gate. It's so nice to now be able to converse with these neighbours that kept to themselves for so long. Earth Mother watch over you.

I stopped to pay my respects at Ashamane's Fall. The Wild God Ashamane sacrificed herself thousands of years ago to kill the demon Ronokon. She gave her life to save countless others, just as many others did during the recent invasion. I believe the honored Ashamane would approve of their inclusion in my prayers, due to their similar sacrifices for shared values. I wish them all a peaceful rest. Earth Mother watch over you.

After avoiding some hostile bears on the nature-rich pathway into Val'sharah, I came across a small settlement in Sylvan Vale. I found it inhabited by some night elf druids, with whom I was happy to become acquainted. It's always a joy to meet new, like-minded friends. Earth Mother watch over you.

Nightwatcher's Perch, a Warden Tower to the north of Val'sharah. There are six such towers in the Broken Isles, built as outposts for the Night Elven Watchers. The Watchers have been jailers and hunters of criminals for the Night Elf people since shortly after the War of the Ancients. They were formed by Malfurion Stormrage and Maiev Shadowsong, for the purpose of guarding Malfurion's captive brother, Illidan. Tyrande Whisperwind later broadened their duties. They are certainly intimidating, and although it is not for me to judge, their history, along with Malfurion and Tyrande's involvement in Illidan's imprisonment, certainly paints a questionable picture. Although punishment for some things that Illidan did seems reasonable, imprisonment for over ten thousand years, in a small, solitary space, seems shockingly brutal, especially towards a family member.

Greetings, friends! I am well, rested, and at peace, so once again I leave my home of Highmountain to see more of the world. I took the road out west into Val'sharah, to see the sights of this sacred land. As a druid, I have certainly been there before, although sightseeing was not the goal, but rather the likes of training, mediation, prayer, and tending to nature. I was nervous about seeing the damage from the recent demonic invasion, but hopeful to see the forest already healing. Earth Mother watch over you.

Back to the present - hello! I am back in my beloved home of Highmountain. Here I am at one of my favourite meditative spots on Highmountain Peak. I am taking time to be at peace and plan the places I want to visit next. Perhaps some visits to locations closer to home first? Earth Mother watch over you.

I already made it as far north as I could go in the Eastern Kingdoms, but here I am as far north as I could go on the planet! Looking out towards the northern pole. Earth Mother watch over you.

As I was so close, I had to pay a visit to the northernmost point of the world! Here I am at Hrothgar's Landing, with a Kvaldir boat. It was so cold that my camera was frosting over. Earth Mother watch over you.
