So ma head is a bit sore as i writ dis. I'm still recoverin from da celebrations in da Worlds End Tavern where a couple of days ago Zenith celebrated it's creation, yes my friends, we have been together one year and what a year it has been.

I've seen such wonderous things, things tales are made of and I am proud to be friends with all of you but who ever decided dat we should stay up till da sun rose a couple of days ago is far, far younger than me - it took a lot of searching to find my clothing let alone get ready for da following days challenge.

Here it goes - we was chatting about fishin - as ya do - and Zhisui, an evil smile on her face, mentioned dat der was dis giant fish in Serpent Shrine Cavern, bigger dan a Clefthoof - yeah right we said. So a plan was made to go and visit dis underground lake and catch this monster, dis Lurker Below.

We took a few people with us to clear da way, OK, we took a lot of people coz da Naga were not happy to see us and a few Boglords would have made fishin a bit uncomfy. Once we'd made our way to what looked a good spot, da competition began.

A few dead fish were floatin on da surface so I wasn't hopeful until surgin from da depths came da biggest fish i have ever seen! Bigger dan a clefthoof - spirits strike me if I lie - dis thing was bigger dan a zeplin.

Quickly Cyanide got its attention as everyone spread out, rods thrown down as battle commenced.

This was one tricksy fish, and it did some bizarre stuff - spittin scalding water at us and chuckin us about a bit. Not only that but da Naga must have heard da fight and kept trying to keep us away from the giant but we was focused on our prize and soon da Lurker Below was beached.

Good going guys, next time one of you has a tale to tell I think i'll take it a bit more seriously coz I never want to eat another fish again.

A tale of a giant fish indeed, Cheeselog and Zhisui had planned this all along and now we know dis is da home of Lady Vashj, one of Illidans major supporters and queen of da Naga. After looking around we have seen a few of her guards, we know da layout of da place and what we need to do to reach her. And next time we go fishing who knows what we may catch...

...and next time we celebrate, i'm stayin of da rum.

Wiv one of Kael'thas' guardians reduced to scrap metal da next target was Astromancer Solarian - we we're eager and fired for battle as dis month, da 8th moon of da year, continues to be Zeniths finest.

Now I don't know what an Astromancer is but dis giant blood elf woman was dressed as a warlock - in all her flowing robes and surrounded by darkness. Da mages warned us dat her magic was more akin to their own so as we charged into battle her bolts of magic did not surprise us, her casting evil arcane magic bombs at us made little impact as we had been warned and just moved away from our friends.

Mighty was Zenith and she kept retreating and summoning help - but it was no use. All da help she summoned we destroyed until in a final act of desperation she turned into a giant voidwalker.

Sensing victory we tore away her life like a raging fire through dry grass until all that was left was da voidwalkers armour.

Passing under Alar on our way out, da phoenix oblivious to our presence, I cannot help but wonder at Zenith. Some of our people I have know less that 6 moons but I sense a purpose behind our coming together, a purpose yet to be revealed. But wiv my friends at my side I know we will be ready for whatever is to come.

Already der is rumours of a new campaign by da horde. Is outland where da steel of Zenith is being tempered by da gods - to forge a new weapon against a greater evil?

Ah... such thoughts go through my head at night and as da wind whispers in my ear "be ready" I sleep, me head full of da faces of my friends and da great things we will do, together.

As the moon rose and the spirits of me lost brothers chanted we waited until da shamans gave da signal. Dis was to be Zeniths gift to da troll peoples and all other free peoples in da area. To long has da Amani tribe held powa over life and death - it was time to restore da balance.

Zul'jin, that once mighty leader of our people, stood before us - da totem spirits da Hex Lord had corrupted surrounding him. As we charged into battle his insanity burst forth as totem by totem he stripped da spirits of powa, makin himself harder, more deadly, faster as each was absorbed.

But I warned you Zul'jin - mighty is Zenith and focussed against dis evil and warped chief our spirits soared as da powa of right strengthened our blows.
He fell, raging against us and our allies. Alone - no one to hear his final lament.

So, once mighty leader, as your howls echo off da now ruined walls of your once mighty kingdom, now you learn da truth. Everyone is born free - dere are no exceptions. And as your body rots and your spirit is ripped asunder by da true troll gods - you and Malacrass can spend eternity in torment for da wrong you have done.

And although da people may forget and even forgive you, on da spirits I swear,
"Angkalid will never forget your crimes against our people"

Never forget dis my brothers and sisters - we cannot let dis happen again.

After a little break to visit some of da folks and catch up on new tales da members of Zenith met at da gates of Tempest Keep. We'd been in here before, to reach our goal it was goin to need da best teamwork and organisin we had.

Zhisui, seconded by Cheeselog took up da task and we surged forward through da elves and phoenix hawks guarding da way wif hardly a break. So fast did we charge dat soon we were in da chamber wiv Void Reaver, one of Kael'thas' guardians.

As Zenith surged forward to do battle a couple of us stood on da edge, attractin da giant robots orbs to stop them hittin anyone else. It was magnificent. Zenith stood proudly, takin everythin he could throw at us but his abilites were no match for us - whenever he stuck a healer would patch da wound, whenever an orb flew, da hunter was no longer there, no matter how far he ran - Zenith stayed on him.

He had no chance at all as our combination of sword and magic turned him into a pile of scrap metal.

Wif dis guardian destroyed and some of our newer members bloodied good and proper I thank da Spirits and da Gods as da march of Zenith continues on...

We've been doing evening raids into Zul Aman in an attempt to stop Zul'Jin corruptin more of our Troll brothers and sisters. We was looking about da place when we came across another of da Avatars of da Gods of Zul Aman. Dis one was part dragon hawk - the things da pointy eared elves like so much.

When we came close he summoned some followers to hatch even more of da flappy things but wif a lots of exploding magic they didn't stand much of a chance even if Jan'alai did throw some fireballs at us. Towards da end of da fight he tried to hatch more eggs but coz we'd stomped on them previously he didn't last much longer.

And wiv da death of Jan'alai, da last of the half animal God / half Troll guardians the inner part of Zul Aman was open to us.

The place was strangely silent as we approached the building occupied by the mad Witch Doctor Hex Lord Malacrass, who stood waitin for us with 4 of his minions. We quickly made a plan to deal with a couple of the harder hitting enemies while Malacrass was occupied and a couple of his other helpers were dealt with by might or magic until the fight was over.

Dis fight was very tricksy, a lot like fighting Moroes in Karazhan but wif extra bits. He kept borrowing our abilities and throwing them back at us which was a bit unfriendly. Eventually, after much shouting and encouragement by us all and a good bit of shear stubbornness he lay at our feet - we turned to finish off his minions but thankfully they vanished with his death.

So Hex Lord, where are your Avatars now? Who will help you as you pay your debt to da true Gods of da Trolls. And as they ask who sent you, you can reply in your broken voice, it was Zenith, dey be killin Zul'Jin real soon so better make a space.
