The Everdawn, docked at Astravar Habor, Suramar
The journey from Quel’thalas to Suramar had been rather uneventful, save for the few ships they had sailed by along the established trade route that now existed between both nations. After a few days at sea, the vessel glided into Suramar bay and dropped anchor at Astravar Harbor.
They remained docked for just under two full days, the Everdawn’s crew working with the Sunreavers of Dalaran to load the cargo that was to be delivered to an outpost in Pandaria. This would be the second time in as many years that the ship and crew would ferry the Sunreavers to their destination.
While there was a lot of work to be done, the crew managed to find time to explore the city and visit its markets and taverns. Yet they did not longer, as they seemed to be greeted with mistrust and rudeness by more than one individual.
“Its the Horde,” one shald’orei barman had said. “A lot of folks around here seem to be distrustful of the Horde, and of our leaders for joining it.”
“Since when?” Sunstriker had mingled with shald’orei on more than one occasion over the last few years, since their nation had formed a strong relationship with his own kingdom, influenced by the mariage between the Regent-Lord and their First Arcanist.
“It’s been growing for a bit, now. Not quite sure if anything happened to precipitate it or even cause it, but its become a hot topic and has led to more than one brawl in this very tavern.”
Sunstriker and Sunforge exchanged looks, the former raising his glass. “'Maybe we best finish our wines and head back to the ship.”
Sunstriker nodded, downing his own glass. “Might be best that we’re raising anchor in the morning. Come on, let’s go.”
The two returned to the ship. It seemed most had had experiences like they had, as most of the crew seemed to be lingering onboard instead of enjoying the hospitality of the port and its city. Even the captain seemed to be in, as indicated by the light coming through his cabin window, though his door was shut, and remained that way all evening.
