Crystal Lake memorial?

This wasn’t there yesterday, so I’m curious: who is this for? It’s very prominent, unlike most memorials in the game. It also has a glow effect from the lantern that can be seen from a considerable distance away (the road by the Goldshire Inn, potentially futher.)

When hovered over, it reads “Deeply missed, never forgotten.”

That’s what I thought too, but the critter up top is more of a fox or a dog than a cat (since she was the one who made the Jenafur puzzle)

Looks like a pet memorial,the murlocs have moved down to the home they built there .

Btw,there’s painting of one of the scenes in dragon islands there.

actually for someone named Mats that died in 2014. the tombstone is the exact same thing as a post i found on reddit that i can’t link for some reason.

You have to scroll all the way at the bottom of the article to see the memorial! Wow.

This is such a sad story…

I’m glad Blizzard did this for him. He seemed like a really cool guy.
