Let's face it. World of Warcraft has a lot of facinating stories. Ten thousand years of history, immortal elves, dwarves that sprung from rock (Lord of the Rings inspirated perhaps?), humans, dragons, undeads, demons - yes even gnomes, trolls, cows and squids - and the ever-facinating orcs.
It's a lot to take in, and the more you learn the more facinating the game itself becomes. The other day I was looking for a mushroom named Ysera's Tears. For those in-the-know Ysera is a familiar name. She is The Dreamer, the Green Dragon Aspect and Lady of the Emerald Dream.
While I don't think there was some particular reason for the name 'Ysera's Tears', it did raise some theories in my mind. Especially as the mushrooms themselves grew in a place riddled by the restless spirit of long dead green dragons. Who knows, maybe Ysera herself had cried over the land, and where her tears landed these brilliantly green musrhrooms grew.

Another place full of history is Duskwood. Once a prosperous place it is now dark and damp and full of undead. One of the primary focuses is a giant graveyard, named Raven Hill. The details of what happened here is pretty vague, but there are hints and glimpses of a better past. Unfortunately the scourge runs rampant in the land, some of it's inhabitants lured by dark powers to raise the dead, and other, long dead people, wanders restlessly and unable to find peace.
Duskwood is hardly a bright spot in the dark. More like a dark one in brighter surroundings.

Oh and me like the undeads. Paladins + undeads = win. For the paladin. Mvhaha.
