Dear Journal,

Aha! My plan worked. They did not argue against my new, more fashionable way of wearing my tabard. The old style was so outdated, it had to change. It turned me into a vaguely blue shape all throughout my silhouette. I was blue from head to toe! But now, now it just cuts the color of my armor in half with a hint of blue, which recalls the color of my skin. That’s much better, isn’t it? I have to teach these Azerotians everything. Plus it shows my individuality too, we are not the army, and it has a nice flowy movement at the side of my hip. What’s not to love?

Anyway, we have made the Neferset a non-issue, now. We first got tablets that helped make a weapon from the sun, a bit like Blood Elves use their Sunwell, or how the Taurens do sun magic, I suppose. The Neferset were breaking that old wisdom, leaving it unreadable. We intervened at the right time! They were breaking other relics in there too, so I’m glad we stopped them.

We had an argument about letting the Explorer’s League study the ruins of a tomb city. I don’t like it, the less strangers interact with the tombs of others, the better. If anybody can go there and learn from the dead, it should be the tigertaurs. There was a curse put on gnomes from going into a tomb, I think? That is proof that we should not be doing anything in those. It is for the tigertaurs to explore. I remember those poor birds suffering from the oil spill the gnomes had made in Northrend… That was terrible for all those birds…

Anyway, with our strength and that of the tigertaurs, as well as the sun, we stopped the Neferset from invading. Apparently, I was “burned”, but I didn’t see it. This is incomprehensible.

What followed was an assault on the Neferset city. Pretty easy to invade, if you ask me, but it wouldn’t have been so without the tigertaurs partaking in that war. I’m glad they joined us, but am saddened that it was at the cost of their prince.

I hope we do not have to climb a mountain in the desert again this week. Or ever. I’m at the peak of my form again, after those months spent in a coma after the Exodar’s crash… But my peak is not mountain-climbing ready.
