Grateful on Turkey Day

Happy Turkey Day from
2 Elves & a Human!

What're we thankful for? Let us count...


Veton is thankful for: Family (aka Uncle Craetes, Zilaara, and Elodi). Her best friends - Goruth, Celenah, Spat, Lyconis, and Ealenia. Mana totems. Strike, her snowy gryphon & Gust, her pet moth. Romulus and Remus. Reliable and ever-encouraging guildmates. Affordable Dalaran housing room rates. Beautiful jewelry and the jewelcrafters who design and sell them. Skillful blacksmiths. The strength of the Draenei and Naaru, the ways of her people and their spirit of survival.

Whimsi is thankful for: Tumnus, her loyal feline companion. The vigilant Lady Sylvanas and the undying Forsaken. The balance of the Light and the Shadow. The colors blue and purple. Prayers and kind souls. History and Alchemy books. Levitation spells. Zombie, her noble steed. Bats. Tigule and Foror's Strawberry Ice Cream. Deathknell. Ghost wolves. Undertaker Mordo, Dark Cleric Duesten, Azonifel, and Winterr. Shiniesss. Dank, abandoned tombs.

Tabijin is thankful for: Family, The Stonetusk Tribe, who ensured his survival. Toombah - who saved his daughter. Reser - his only daughter and only reason to wake up every single day. Zabeni - his wife, who had always made him proud. Ayden - who keeps him busy enough to stave off his worries. The Shadow of Paragon - trusty business partners and reliable traders. Hex - Zabeni's pet tiger, who continues his search for his master's belongings in Ashenvale. Terra - his steadfast raptor companion. Lady Taceo - who continues to fund his makeshift "goods shop." Orgrimmar and its colorful inhabitants. The hardships and carefree times which have made him the haggard troll he is today.

Taceo is thankful for: Her parents and their unconditional love and support. Nikolaos - her best friend, fiance and better half. Grymtohr, Berien, Eal', Dalem, Rhathgryn, Rokur, and Laceraito - awesome companions and fellow adventurers (For the HORDE!). SCRRAWL Club! Successful raids. The Horde. Lucius and Zoom. Sturdy shields, sharp weapons, sturdy tanks, and watchful healers. Mana potions. Dalaran food and lodging. Matching armor.

Greyer is thankful for: Being able to wake up every morning. His family - Mother, Father, Faolan, and Farran - even though they are no longer with him. The Lyall Tannery, its legacy, and the safety it offers each night. Spritzer, the young bartender who helped maintain his sanity. Atalanta, his unforgettable childhood friend and sweetheart (even if her heart may ultimately belong to someone else). The pride of Gilneas and the indestructible qualities of its force and kingdom. Veton, who was a constant companion (on the other side of the Gates) for the better part of six months after his mother had died.

Lunette is thankful for: Her husband - Lunarius - and her children - Atellus, Moone, Gardien, and the late Astaire. Her adopted daughter - Adaven the orphan Rogue. Trusty companions Larodath, Yente, Yurriot, Cauthon, and Aschen. Gooa - that once pesky mage who taught her what it took to survive in PvP. Her guild - Unearthed - and its remarkable ability to be prosperous and homely. Her frostsabers - January and Seventeen. The Druids of Moonglade and their support.

Winterr is thankful for: Her herd and tribe, who maintain their undying faith in her every single season since her Coming-of-Age Ceremony. The ways of the Druid and the Earthmother who has blessed her in several ways this past year. The Horde and their warchief, who have honored her services in battle. Those who have coached her on her journey to become a Feral Druid. Whimsi, her unexpected Undead pen pal and fellow botanist.

{...} is thankful for: Greyer and his consideration of not hogging the spotlight... The reforging of alliance with the Horde and the freedom they brought. Pockets full of gold. Technology and good business. The Lost Isles. Security. The sacrifice her younger brother had made to ensure her survival during the naval crossfire that would change the fate of the Goblins of Kezan. Hair accessories, jewelcrafters, and awesome deals on much needed items.

Rese is thankful for: Lunarius and Nikolaos (and the awesome man who makes them the best battle companions ever). Family members who tolerate her love of these pixelated beings and their made-up stories. Ventrilo. Blizzard and the game/s that started it all. Epic guildmates and friends - Sam, Derek, Tony, Matt, Amy, Bob, Mike, Sean, and Dustin. And - of course - Lunette, Taceo, Whimsi, Greyer, Tabijin, Veton, Winterr, Wyler, {...}, and the world they live in.

At last, the whole of Azeroth will break...



Update; everyone's probably freaking out now... well, Taceo could possibly be chasing that trail of soot across the sky.

Adding Character: Wardrobe


My [or, rather, Conri's!] Gilneas Boys [L-R]: Twins Faolan & Farran and Greyer Lyall

One thing I love about Warcraft characters is their clothing. Mages and Priests wear robes, flowy garments as Warriors and Paladins wear plate armor; a low-level character might have been recruited into the Horde or Alliance with just the clothes on their back; Rogues wear leather, and perhaps only carry what they can to eliminate anything snagging onto them as they sneak around... An auctioneer might not wear "battle gear" and instead wear something flashy as they go about their business to and from the auction house.

With the introduction of the Worgen, I had a thought:
What does a Gilnean wear?


According to WoWWiki:
Gilneans, the inhabitants of Gilneas, are burly, and their costumes, weapons, architecture and accents have great Victorian connotations. With the environment, echoing 19th century London, gear might be fitted to withstand heavy rain and wind. (source)

Thus, I came up with this little list (and it has helped me a whole lot with acquainting myself with Greyer, my soon-to-be Worgen rogue):

Greyer's Box

Yes, Mr. Lyall is late to the Time Capsule party.

Imagine that you have a box, and inside the box are seven items that perfectly describe your character. From their thoughts, ambitions, history, physical characteristics, etc. You can even go into detail on what KIND of box that your seven items are in.

Greyer's Box:
A medium-sized, wooden box. Though the wood is stained a rich chocolate hue, signs of wear are apparent on every edge. Its lid bears the Lyall family crest and is fastened by pewter hinges. A tarnished silver keyhole adorns the front; there are large, shallow scratches - presumably claw marks - on the top, bottom and backside between the hinges.

  1. ] A steel [wolf head] ring
  2. ] A worn family portrait
  3. ] A sharp skinning knife
  4. ] A silver cameo pendant
  5. ] The deed to the Lyall Tannery
  6. ] A keyring with two unique keys
  7. ] A gold pocketwatch [still ticking, with matching chain]

Greyer in Graphite - Part 1



You've seen him in a stylized vector form and cartoon-ified into "one of the gang", now here he is being fleshed out in the first stages of the final project for my Rendering and Illustration class... Really need to fix his hairline, lol.

If for some reason, anyone needs a tank/healer, PLEASE feel free to shoot me a whisper {if I'm not in the SoP vent} if you'd like to group up or something.

Show Me the Way

Fire your guns,
It's time to run.
Blow me away
(I will stay in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off.
Show me the way.

Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven when we die;
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all...

Breaking Benjamin - "Blow me Away"

Truth

i miss coming home to a vent chat full of people, complaining about tanking, whining about gear, being concerned over sloppy pulls and wiping in raids, my 'tankadin training', counting emblems, and freaking out over killing the tiger boss in ZG...

it keeps my mind from falling apart as it is in its current state.

i hope to hear/see you all soon.

a photo.



...wrote to someone regarding the state of the Lyall family tannery, claiming that I wanted to buy it. These came back in response.

Whimsi likes colors.

Taceo: Y'know, Greyer, you look like your name would be Hershel.

Greyer: It sounds so... English.

Taceo: It means "deer" in Yiddish, actually, and I think it's cute.

Greyer: Well, I think it's already taken on Thorium Brotherhood and Fenris and Boulderfist. So... Yeah, tough luck.

Taceo: "Hershel Lyall" has a nice ring to it.

Greyer: My name is Greyer.

Whimsi: Purple-er?

Greyer: GTFO, Whimsi.



...this is proves that my mind goes to strange places when I start making art and story speculations for Mr. Lyall. I really, really want to know the release date of Cataclysm so I can actually space out and schedule his posts and character sheet (gahhhhh!!). I've also been collecting stuff that Greyer would say in conversation and been playing with character interactions, so, stay tuned, I might have something literary to post soon.

Understand

Trying to understand Greyer
is like attempting to drown
everything you have ever thought of.

Suffrocation.
A string of endless night
and rain.

Versus: Our Blog's Two Males

Tabijin:
  • more like a father (understanding, worrisome)
  • had a family and lost them (two dead, one lost)
  • disowned a friend
  • was shaped by family tradition (father was a Shaman)
  • "Fallen patriarch"
  • was an elitist to some degree; was a chief adviser to tribe

Greyer:
  • more like a son (rebellious against authority, unruly)
  • had a family and lost them (all deceased)
  • betrayed by a friend
  • dislikes family tradition (older brothers overshadowed him)
  • "Rising rebel"
  • was a humble being, befriended the tavern bartender




Hmmm... trying so hard to make Greyer unique compared to Tabi and the girls; perhaps, even, an "anti-Tabijin." Already ran his personality through the D&D character alignment test and came out surprisingly as Chaotic Neutral (no one has had that result before, so it was like "whoa"). So, yeah...

Also, if you're also creating a Worgen, check these out:


[Note: these links do not directly contain quest spoilers.]

...heh, for all I know, Greyer's father/family could've made armor/supply packs for the war(s), the Lyall family could've assisted in building the Greymane Wall... Could Greyer become afflicted with the Curse because of an encounter with his father or brothers (whether a bite or simple contact)? Something to consider, I suppose. I really want some more specifics about the Curse's dynamics beside the fact of it "spreading through Gilneas unchecked for several years."

On a different note and on the other side of the Greymane Wall, Greyer can't seem to shake off the annoyance of an individual by the name of "Spritzer." Not sure who he is just yet, but Greyer's howling and snarling by the King's Gate has been heard almost nightly now.

While shopping...


...I ran into Greyer and he gave me one of his family heirlooms (a really, large, chunky ring @_@; ) to hang onto until we meet again when the expansion's released. It's hanging on my cellphone now. Yay!

Greyer's Pumpkin



...wasn't going to post or share this random Halloween project of mine, but Greyer's pumpkin won 3rd prize in a [random] pumpkin decorating contest, so, wo0t!
