Day 3 · October 21, 2026

Five Falls in the Duskwood Gloom

I walked alone today. Executor Zygand greeted me with a speech on the Scarlet Crusade, and Zapetta asked that I bring her something to eat from Orgrimmar if I came back by zeppelin. In Duskwood, Stitches and Watcher Cutford both shouted into the dark, though I understood none of it. Nurse Neela offered to teach me First Aid when I returned to Brill.

Five Falls in the Dark of Duskwood

No one walked beside me. Zapetta spoke to me by the tower and begged me to bring her something to eat from Orgrimmar. Hin Denburg pressed me to ride his flying machine toward Grom'gol. In Duskwood, Stitches and Watcher Cutford were shouting in the dark. I did not understand a word of it. Nurse Neela offered to train me in First Aid.

A Paladin Risen in Deathknell, Walking to Undercity

Most of my day was spent among the Forsaken, and the few who spoke to me were gruff. One injured deathguard told me to begone, paladin, but later thanked me. A forsaken warrior joined me near Garren's Haunt. I said "nice" and "tyh ty" when he left. Near the Ruins of Lordaeron I stood talking with a few strangers about horror films and shows. I said "top 3 horror film for me".

A Paladin Rises in Tirisfal Glades

Most of my day was spent alone. Near Garren's Haunt I called out for someone to invite me. A Forsaken warrior joined me briefly, and I thanked him as he left. Later, near the Ruins of Lordaeron, I stopped to talk with a few Forsaken and a tauren about horror tales and what to watch. I joked and added a tasteless remark of my own that fell flat.

From Deathknell's Bells to Brill's Hearth

Most of my company today was the dead and the half-dead. A Forsaken warrior joined me for a short while near Garren's Haunt, then parted ways, and I called out my thanks. In the Ruins of Lordaeron I fell into talk with a few Forsaken and a tauren about stories and shows they liked. I told them one was a favorite of mine, among the best horror I knew. I added a dry joke or two, and the mage reminded me he was undead. Earlier in Deathknell I watched two Forsaken trade kisses.

Waking in the Crypt at Deathknell

Sarvis greeted me as "paladin" and said that no other race on Azeroth has suffered as much as ours. To laugh in the face of death, he said, has become second nature to us. Before I left the chapel, Aramis Hammerhand welcomed me back to the light and asked whether I needed training.
