Technically, this is not an “overheard” submission, but it’s part of the whole “World of Warcraft is cool and weird sometimes” vibe that I’m going for with this blog.
So here’s a little tidbit I noticed when wandering around Outland the other day. I’ll admit to not reading a lot of the text when talking to NPCs. I mostly just want to either buy or sell stuff, or do quests. But sometimes, reading the text gives some cute little inside gems that I LOVE because it adds richness and lore to the game. Here’s an example.

That’s right, Ros’eleth is an ambitious young blood elf/high elf. Blizzard gives little story tidbits like this that I just really like — imagine the hidden story behind these two people! It’s the stuff fanfics are made of.
