Leaves of Eldre'thalas

We would like to take the opportunity to thank our host Siteground for several years of capable and knowledgeable service, and Kateri, Ardana, Tiska and Malorith for stepping forward and each keeping things running as long as they did. Yesterday we announced to our members our intentions to move to a new host and change [...]

  In days long past, three people were running across a field.  They had just braved Redridge, and followed the trail north into the wastelands of the Burning Steppes.  They panicked when they saw a group of fire-tossing grell with skulls on their heads, and ran almost to the center of the Steppes, to be [...]

  Five gamers. Picked to game in a house. To see what happens when people stop being polite… And start rolling dice.   ThalanaarCon kicked off with a few bugs, a dead power supply on one computer and a slipping car transmission! But, look ho! Our brave adventurers have joined us in the mysterious land [...]

On a short introduction video, a previously recorded interview shows the death metal singer bashing Alliance faction players, spewing a homophobic rant before saying, “f—ing emo c—suckers go die!” It’s [...]

Pandas. We were all laughing when we watched them roll out the first slide. Then the jeers and hooting started when people realized that Chris Metzen had lost his mind, and Blizzard was serious. What began as a joke on April Fools Day so many years ago has become a reality. The next expansion will [...]

Iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat panem et circenses. Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time [...]
