We now return to ‘Commentaries on Azeroth with Milo & Baron Spray’ already in progress…
(Milo, Factionless Gnome Frost Mage… and Commentator): “And one area I have been particularly interested in is the ascension of Lord Protector Turalyon since the departure of King Anduin which has left the throne vacant of a Monarch. Turalyon certainly wields a great deal of power as Lord Protector, but does he have the influence to maintain the King’s justice with a House of Nobles and House of Commons currently at odds. Your thoughts, Baron?”
(Baron Spray, Self-Exiled Water Elemental… and Commentator): “These will be trying times for the mortal Turalyon. It is also shocking to hear that his wife, Alleria Windrunner, has been absent since their return to Azeroth. As a mortal yourself, do you believe that will have an affect on Lord Turalyon?”
(Milo): “Indeed, I do not doubt it for a moment, and if there is a talk of divorce, as certain gossip columns have suggested, the question of how that will effect the Lord Protector going forward. Of course, a statement from the Palace is ascribing these rumors as dark and sinister motives by rivals, most likely from House of Nobles. As a Gnome, I’m somewhat immune to petty Human jealousies. So the idea that a nobleman would spread these rumors are unfortunate, but not surprising. Your thoughts on these rumors?”
(Baron): “Unfortunately, most elementals are used to rumors in our elemental courts. It’s why I elected to remain outside of the Abyssal Maw and instead live in your fish tank. Before we continue with this discussion, I believe we have advertisements to read, no?”
(Milo): “Too true, we do have some advertisements.

We would also like to thank the owners of The Privateer, Azeroth’s number one publication for those in the adventuring, mercenary, and private seafaring trade. I believe you are a big reader of The Privateer, Baron?”

(Milo): “You’ve mentioned how much you enjoy Miss Persefani’s hospitality, yes?”
(Baron Spray): “As a mortal human who is not a magician or a shaman, Miss Persefani is acceptable.”
