Who am I?

[Takora Drakan]

so uhmm okay... next riddle

I am born out of fire, I'm here to guard this tower. Shall I roast you?

[Alladania]

I can picture this giant dragon just outside a tower. Is it Breath of Fire?

[Romirez]

so uhmm okay... next riddle

I am born out of fire, I'm here to guard this tower. Shall I roast you?

it may be a longshot, but could it be the named Fire Ogre that is nearby the tower northwest of Dralk?

[Justa Mirage]

Ani I "believe" you are right 99.9999999% sure.

He was summoned there to guard the tower and has that "I will roast you" attitude I love his "generic text" if you aren't on a quest with him.

[Alladania]

As I eternally contemplate the tranquil waters, my namesake just welcomed a new child. Who am I?

[LaughingOtter]

I'm surprised nobody has tried to answer this one yet, as it's really pretty easy. Then again, I could answer it and throw out a really tough one.... ;-)

[LaughingOtter]

OK, holiday break is over - no more excuses for not guessing, people! :-)

[tramsan]

Like you said, it's too easy! You answer it and throw out your really tough one.

[LaughingOtter]

I guess Alla stumped everyone.

It's Hoody Wearn.

[Justa Mirage]

Stumped me... didn't know Woody had an acronym name in the game, let alone where he is in the game.

[Velea]

I knew it. I just didn't want to have to come up with the next one cause my creativity level is being taxed.

[tramsan]

He's out by the pond in Pajalsti.

LO! NEXT!

[LaughingOtter]

As promised, this one is tough. There are two answers needed.

I stand in beauty and emptyness, speaking of those forgotten.
Another also bears my name, far from fair Istaria.
In darkness, in dispair, in Azeroth.
Who am I, and where stands the one who shares my name?

[tramsan]

Ok, now that's just cheating.

[LaughingOtter]

Ok, now that's just cheating.

Is not. A WoW subscription is not required to confirm the answer.

As I understand it, the WoW NPC was named by a former AE employee who had been hired by Blizzard, as a Horizons-related Easter Egg. I don't know for sure if that account is 100% accurate, but I like to think it is.

[tramsan]

No, but WoW *knowledge* is required. This is a game about HZ knowledge, dammit! *shakes fist at LO*

hmm hrm.... hmmmmmmm

Leeroy

Jenkins?

[LaughingOtter]

Leeeeeroooooy!!!



OK, good for a chuckle, but no. Nice try!

That's such a bad video, though. Try this one from Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain (a real band made up of Blizzard staffers). Even if it's not your favorite game or your favorite type of music, the video is really well done and very creative. Work-safe as far as I recall.

I remember seeing Leroy... can't remember if it was on New Trismus or where... I totally laughed when I saw him on our server. although I don't think they call him Leroy... but Klaus...

[Justa Mirage]

Hmmm a place of beauty and emptiness would be that part of the AROP dryad that needs those Revitalization V spell formulas at the rainbow bridge.

Tira is her name I believe, but it may not be her, I am not up on WoW or Ex AE employees...
