Welcome Readers to the special christmas catch up edition of the Azerothian Addict!
I refuse to apologise for my absence and hope this festive edition will make up for it ^_^
Jingle Bells
Christmas has decended upon Azeroth once again, the quests are back and more presents sent by the Azerothian postal system.
Id like to take the time to thank the Azerothian post men and women for all their hard work throughout the year...however...has anyone ever seen one?
There are rumours that they are made up of post fairies, to that I say the only fairies Ive seen around Azeroth are huuuuge and call themselves harpies.
:/ They dont look very much like post ppls :\
So I turn to the masters of engineers for advice...the gnomes.
I do not know what kind of tales I was expecting, ones that suit the season probably with magic and tales of joy...possibly happy little gnomes that sit in the post box to deliver it....no.
There is a shoot down the bottom of the mail box that whizzes our mail to a central sorting office. There is a tracking device inserted onto each letter, by a very grumpy looking gnome, called Borris:
http://www.hjo3.net/083105_wow_carolinus.jpg
This tracking device takes an hour to find many characters but, if its ur own can trace u back to ur account in seconds \o/ horrah.
Borris' parents were anti celebration, anti-decoration and he had never seen a Christmas tree till he went to Ironforge looking for a job. T'was the night before Christmas, but how could Borris have known that...this young 100yr old gnome that had never heard of the holiday before that day had never received a Christmas present.
Tbh, dont think going to IF on Christmas Eve evening was the best plan, even for a self epic'd mage...well, dwarves do like to party...and that night was no exception....
Needless to say the drunken IF Ospreys that hung him by his boot laces over the great forge after carrying him around as a trophy all night were the last straw.
Borris was rescued by an inquizitive old gnome 2 days later and was taken into the basement and showing him his invention...the postal system we know and love today. He'd been trying to remove all need for any manual involvement but couldnt see past that one job.
"Would I ever have to go above ground again?" asked Borris "Its nicer down here!"
"Not if u didnt want to.." Said the gnome, looking awful confused.
"Excellent! I'll take it" replied Borris
Which is how Borris got the job, without essentially being offered it.
It takes a lot for Borris to talk to anyone, so to get his story from him I took him a little ale (well, all gnomes drink, regardless of festivities ;)) and a delisious chocolate cake....
... all was going well until I thought Id try to cheer him up....am.....could someone get me down from the IF greatforge when you have the chance....I dont think he liked the idea of the career change:

It was that or when I told him Id changed his name via deed poll to Jingles :/
Merry Christmas Nightfall
and dont be like Borris \o/
