As a child I loved to created fantasy worlds in which imaginary characters existed interacting with one another and the world around them. Through the years I developed a deep appreciation for the power of imagination and its ability to transport you to a place where the limitations of daily life are replaced by endless possibilities.
In World of Warcraft I discovered a rich history and vibrant realm – fertile soil in which my imagination took flight. My in-game characters soon took on life of their own.
This is their story.
I began writing it two years ago, shortly after my guild was formed. My interactions within the game provide the inspiration that shapes the story, and all of the characters found in it are fellow WoW players.
Since I believe an understanding of the in-game relationships and events paralleling the story line allow for deeper appreciation, I will share a bit of commentary at the end of each chapter.
I have always enjoyed writing stories, but until a year ago I never shared them with anyone. For me, writing is deeply personal. I never feel more vulnerable than when offering my stories to another to read. It was through the acceptance and encouragement of my friends in-game that I found the courage to share this part of myself.
Perhaps something in my stories will spark your imagination and take you on a journey of your own. If it does, I’d love to hear about it. Stories are, after all, meant to be shared.
