Dalaran's Fountain - 2

Date: 9 January 2009
Time: 20:40

More coins today, from the Fountain.

Ansirem's Copper Coin
Archmage Ansirem Runeweaver of the Kirin Tor. He was once their leader, but has since been replaced by Rhonin. I rememeber doing some little errand for him when he was in the Alterac Mountains, where Dalaran was just a huge sphere in the ground... wonder if he'd moved to this new, sparkling Dalaran? After all, the Runeweaver Square must be named after him... Anyways, that errand had led me to Catelyn the Blade.
Who was, surprisingly, his daughter -- she'd ran off and joined the Blackwater Raiders at Booty Bay.
Looking at the coin now, I wonder if Catelyn ever knew her father worried so much about her...

Danath's Copper Coin
Such hatred! This must be Force Commander Danath Trollbane. Some say Dungalion is his true last name, but I suppose we'll never really know... He is master of Honor Hold now, but he was Lord of Stromgarde before, in the Arathi Highlands before he was called to duty to reinforce Nethergarde Keep when the Horde reopened The Dark Portal. I seem to recall a proliferation of troll villages in the region...

Eitrigg's Copper Coin
Interestingly,Eitrigg is an Orc Shaman. Why a member of the Horde should be wishing Tirion Fordring luck is a little out of usual. Some friends of mine mentioned that Eitrigg is now in Zul'Drak, an area I haven't yet gone to... time for a trip I think!

Elling Trias' Copper Coin
I'd dealt with Elling Trias several times on a particular mission, and it was quite a surprise when I found out that the owner of a cheese shop in the Trade District of Stormwind City was a rogue. (I can say it now, right? After all, he's about made it public with his wishing coin...) I'd thought all along that the cheese shop was but a cover for his "real" passion - being a secretive rogue. Guess I was wrong!

Genn's Copper Coin
Gilneas? I'd never heard of that place! So, of course I asked around and it turns out that it's apparently, ::cough::, a nation. And this man is Genn Greymane, ruler of that nation.
How revealing his wish is of his foreign policies - if there're any...

Krasus' Copper Coin
I know I've heard that name Krasus around somewhere. He is consort of the dragon queen Alexstrasza, where they reside atop Wyrmrest Temple in the Dragonblight. Such a beautiful, calm man - that's all I remember of him.

Kryll's Copper Coin
Kryll? Whoever this is, it must be someone obsessed with explosives...

Private Marcus Jonathan's Copper Coin
Private? Wow! This must've been quite some time ago, seeing as he is now General Marcus Jonathan. Also, I happily took extra notice that he'd gotten his wish granted!

Salandria's Shiny Copper Coin
I've never met this Salandria person, but a close friend tells me that she's a Blood Elven Orphan. My friend'd met her during Children's Week, but I was away on holiday in Moonglade...
Children. Such dreamers...


Alleria's Silver Coin
Ranger-Captain Alleria Windrunner is no stranger to us Night Elves, for sure. She and Turalyon had a child - a half-elf son I heard. Which pricks my curiosity about that Arator chap in Honor Hold...

King Anasterian Sunstrider's Silver Coin
King Sunstrider, what would you say if I told you that the last I saw of your son was of him hiding in the back of an elaborate structure...?

King Terenas Menethil's Silver Coin
Here lies King Terenas Menethil II -- Last True King of Lordaeron.

Great were his deeds -- long was his reign -- unthinkable was his death.

"May the Father lie blameless for the deeds of the son.
May the bloodied crown stay lost and forgotten."

Medivh's Silver Coin
.. I have absolutely no idea what this dinging and donging is all about...

Archimonde's Gold Coin
The most amusing coin I've found yet. I think Archimonde had destroyed most of Dalaran, but somehow missed this fountain... One rumour has it that it is a second Eternity Well created by the Titans, and is sentient!

Arthas' Gold Coin
Arthas himself! Now, this wish of his... I wonder if a mispronounciation of the word "scone" led to his "frozen throne", or possibly it's the other way around...

Teron's Gold Coin
The "Eye" he referred to was probably the Eye of Dalaran, a magical artifact which he stole during the Second War... What a miser! A gold coin for that artifact!
