Journal of Ironamalia entry one:
I was asked to deliver a few items to both Corinthras Moonrage and Keldamyr the innkeeper in Dolanaar. I was excited to be leaving Aldrassil for the first time but I guess I was pretty naive still.
I didn't even make it two steps into Dolanaar when Syral Bladeleaf confronted me and told me that I had angered the Council of the Forest. She asked me if I had helped a Satyr named Zen Foolhoof and when I said yes asked me what I was thinking! I am ashamed to admit that I did help him, but he had offered me in return a severed voodoo claw and a bag to carry my shiny findings when out adventuring. How could I have passed that up? I didn't know that he was an enemy of the forest. I guess like Syral said as a druid and a night elf I should have known better. Thankfully for me they are willing to overlook this lapse of judgement on my part by teaching him a lesson.
I guess I don't know as much as I thought I did.

Journal of Ironamalia entry two:
Zen honestly believed that it was a tasty snack that I was giving him. Part of me feels bad that I tricked him but at the same time he tricked me. The fel cones turned him into a toad! I hope that this is enough to appease the Council. I never meant to anger them. Syral was very happy that I complied and was quite confident that they would forgive me. Hopefully the Satyr will not trick anyone else that comes across him.
When I was talking to Syral I noticed a cute night elf standing in front of the building behind her. He seemed to be looking at me a lot and smiled when he noticed I had noticed. So once I said my goodbyes to Syral I headed over in his direction. He said his name was Tallonkai Swiftroot and he had just the task for me. I was curious as to what he would need me to do but went when he sent me over to starbreeze village to retrieve something of his, an emerald dreamcatcher that was given to him by the warden of the druids, I wondered why he couldn't go get it himself? Even more so when he told me it was in his house in Starbreeze Village that was overrun with corrupted furbolgs. I guess he was to afraid for his own life but he would ask this of me? I went anyways and didn't realize it was bad until I saw it. I got the amulent no problem though, I was very cautious that the few that saw me weren't able to alert any others. Unfortunately, even though he was happy to have the amulet back, he was even more upset that the emerald that was inside was missing. He said he had a feeling that a furbolg that goes by the name of Ferocitas the Dream Eater had it in his posession but had hoped that he was wrong. Seriously, why didn't he let me know that BEFORE I ran there and back. ~sigh, So I had to make two trips instead of one. I'm beginning to think he is just a pretty night elf after all and is too into himself. After all, come to think of it he is the only one that has no shirt on. He does have nice abs but still. He had no eyes for anything else after he got his jewel back. Oh well, no time for that if I want to see the world.
The grelkin are bouncy little monsters though. I was asked to take care of them and another Satyr that was causing more trouble. Unfortunately he was hiding in a cave which I had bad dreams about the night before. I did step into the cave and take care of some of the grelkins but going after the satyr was just to much for me. I will sadly have to leave that to another adventurer.
I got my first look at Darnassus today as well. Nyoma a nice friendly night elf who loves cooking asked me to deliver a recipe book to her freind in the capital. She said she knew Sister Aquinne was a bit homesick and thought this would help. Thankfully the griffin wasn't to far away and I got her task done fairly quickly. I did take my time in the city though. When I got back Nyoma was glad to hear that her friend was well and loved the present.
As for me after all this adventuring I think I need a little sleep. Seems like there is still a bit for me to do before I can move on. I hope tommarrow is as lucky as today has been. It feels good to be helping out in Dolanaar.

Journal of Ironamalia entry three:
I made it to what is left of Darkshore into a town called Lor'danel. There is just way to much death there, bodies littered the shoreline. Poor Auberdine had all but been destroyed. I did what I could and managed to find a few that were still alive, I only hope that I found them in time.
I ran into Wizbang after I returned and he told me about the corruption of all the poor creatures of darkshore. If what I had seen already wasn't enough, now the animals are falling victim to horrible ends. I immediately went out in search of the corruption which eventually led me to a cave where I met a night elf who said that he had discovered that it was none other then my friend Zenn Foulhoof. I was shocked when I heard and immediately was angry. He obviously didn't learn his lesson the first time and I had wished that I wasn't as easy on him as I was. I felt responsable for what was happening here since I could have stopped him permanately before. I assured the night elf that I would make him pay for what he did.
When I finally confronted Zenn after killing his minions he just smirked at me and attacked. I think he thought that I was too weak to beat him but in the finally moments of the battle he looked into my eyes and saw that I wasn't going to let him off easy this time. He will cause no more trouble, at least that much is for sure. Hopefully Wizbang will find a cure soon. I felt horrible passing all the poor untainted creatures in cages but I could not find a key. It wasn't until I arrived back at the inn, tired from my adventures and going through my findings, that I realized that I had the key after all. I must have picked it up but was to busy with defending myself I hadn't noticed. I wanted to sleep so bad but just remembering those poor animals I had to go back and free them.
The first animal I set free I knew I had made the right decision. The joy on their faces made me feel all warm inside. I headed down the ramp and came to a demon that was not there before named Licillin. He was taunting and poking a poor rabbit and I knew I had to step in quickly. I underestimated his powerfulness and my life flashed before my eyes quite a few times. I had to heal and defend myself numerous times. I thought I was going to win but then saw another of his kind but lesser, bouncing in from the door across the way and coming right towards us. I thought I was a goner, I was only holding on by a sliver. Everything slowed down, I could see myself striking out at Licillin even as my eyes were watching the other demon slowly bouncing towards us. Thankfully at the last moment he veered towards the other side of the cave and never noticed the battle in my little corner, if he had I would have been a goner. Licillin lost his smile as I delivered the final death stroke. I freed the poor rabbit and we both left the cave as quickly as we could, freeing any more animals we came across.
I headed back to the inn and crashed on a bed for a few hours, glad to be alive.

Journal of Ironamalia entry four:
I felt a bit better after my nap and decided to head out again since it was still a few hours until night. This time I was asked to extinguish the final flame of Bashal'Aran in a city where our ancestors once lived. I was honoured to be chosen to complete this task and was on my way quickly. I was losing daylight and it would take a bit of running to get there.
I found and located the flame with no problems. I had a feeling that this was to easy but quickly doused the flame and stood for a moment to remember our ancestors. I should have heeded the warning that there were cursed ghosts in the city but I had not seen only a handful and I had taken care of them quickly. I thought I was alone for a time at the flame.
A few moments after the flame went out my head whipped around hearing a screech and I saw two cursed ghosts rushing at me. I was so stunned I turned and backed up. I couldn't see anything, I was teetering on the edge of the cliff fumbling for my magic to defend myself. They were on top of me before I had sent my first spell at them. My health was quickly going down. I had to stop attacking and start healing. I was staring at them in horror and how they just kept coming at me even though the one was almost dead. I finally was able to finish him off and my wounds were easier to heal. I came close to seeing my own death but managed to heal myself completely before turning to the last foe before me. After the last ghost was dead I stood there staring at their dead balls of energy and took a deep breath. I remembered one of my kin along the shore who I came across earlier in the day saying to me before they passed that this is what it felt like to be mortal. I came closer to knowing that death then I would like.
I ran back to the inn as fast as I could after telling that the flame was doused and made a promise to myself that I would not leave again until a new day was born. Two close calls in Darkshore that day was two to many. Now it is time for sleep. I hope tomorrow is much brighter.

Journal of Ironamalia entry five:
It has been many days since I was last able to write down my journey. So much has happened, there was little time to even sleep or eat. I made my way down to what was left of Auberdine after my rest and what I saw there I wish I would not have dallied so long. The refugees were all gathered in an encampment on the edge of what was left of Auberdine. They told me they planned to take it back from the twilight hammer that had moved in. I of course wanted to help as much as I could and volunteered to clear them out as much as possible. They were there in vast numbers and I managed to take down enough of them and their leaders as well as banishing the frenzied cyclones that they summoned. While looking around what was left of the inn I heard a voice upstairs and when I went to investigate it turned out to be Archaeologist Hollee. She looked very relieved to see me. She said that after the massive earthquake that destroyed Auberdine she blacked out and woke up a prisoner of the cultists. She insisted that we check to make sure that her friends were not also captured or killed before we headed out towards the camp.
Once she was safe I headed back in to clear out some more cultists and their minions when I saw the spirit of Yalda. She said that the refugee camp did not know the extent of the danger we were all in and that I needed to find and free spirits of some of Auberdines dead inhabitants to help me defeat Aetherion before he is fully in our world. I mourn that the spirits of my fellow night elves that were lost to this world but I am grateful that they helped quell that danger before it hurt more of us. I hope that they find peace now that the danger is gone. Hopefully Auberdine refugees can rebuild.
After this I was sent to find and assist Malfurion stop a rift splitting Darkshore in half. I had to convince Elder Brownpaw, Aroom and Selenn to help. Once they joined Malfurion I went through to a nightmare infested section of the emerald dream and rescued Thessera a green dragon that was being held by the same cultist. Once rescued we took to the sky and destroyed the twilight riders and a vortex they came from. These twilight cultists are just up to no good here in Darkshore. It seems everywhere I turn they are up to something. Why must it be so?
Balren of the Claw asked me to sneak into a twilight cultist camp and see what they were up to along the shoreling. What I found was most shocking. They were attempting to dig up the remains of being called Soggoth the slitherer. What were they thinking! Thankfully the cultist were rushed in their ritual and were only able to resurrect a remnant of Soggoth. We were able to stop them and Soggoth just in time.
This last day has been so exhausting that I need to rest again. I hope once again that tomorrow will be better but I have a feeling that I will once again be wrong.

Journal of Ironamalia entry six:
I have done all I can in Darkshore and have made my way down to Ashenvale. What I have found so far is not much better then what was happening Darkshore. When will the world be at peace, this is horrible to see. The most heart wrenching is that when I came to Orendils retreat Evenar Stillwhisper asked me to go get some Bathran's hair because it is possibly the only thing that will help a very sick child in Astranaar. I could not say no. Unfortunately this area is also heavily patrolled by horde but that wasn't going to stop me. I had a few close calls but managed to gather enough of the plant for Evenar. I hope that it is enough.
He has asked me to deliver the plant to his master at Maestra's Post which is were I am headed in a few moments. He warned me though they have had reports that Maestra's post is under attack by horde. I hope that the child can hold on until I am able to get to Astranaar. The Night elves have had enough deaths!
