It has been far too many Halloweens for the Horde to be deprived of their elf vampires.

Today, I have a recipe for making some Halloween Bat Cookies!
The website here has the ingredients and instructions:
And this video shows off them being made:
For the music for today’s post, I have “Emerald Mist” from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. It’s one of my favorite tracks from the game and really fits with the Fall season:

Because ogre are dumb dummies? If you ever quested at Draenor’s Nagrand you might as well known that not even the ogres from Highmaul are somewhat of inteligent. I just imagine a ogre with a turtle face being called “the Azeroth’s Champion” lel.
What if everyone wanted murlocs? Should they include murlocs instead of earthen?
People want races like arakkoa, sethrak, etc. Not becoming a reality, since we are never going to visit these places again. They don’t fit the actual theme.

Graveyard cakes are a pretty popular creation during the month of October. There are several videos of different types on YouTube, and I found one that went into some detail in how to make a simple one:
And this one is a graveyard explosion cake, with some edible candy goodies inside:
Graveyard cakes seem like a fun thing to make and design.

I’d love to remake my blood dk as a true san’layn… with the San’layn specialization.

Sorry about missing a day. Had a lot of things going on with errands. I’ll try to make it up with a bigger post another day.
In fitting with San’layn being vampires, I bring a recipe for making “Vampire Cookie Sandwiches!” Recipe is below:

So sad to see the San’layn thread now. No more Fallynn, whom I’ve heard moved on to FFXIV. Sad times. 
I won’t say why I think this but if a vampire race ever got introduced I feel it would be the Venthyr unfortunately. I made sure to let Blizz know my thoughts on this since I feel like San’layn should come before Venthyr even though I like the Venthyr. The legitimate Horde vampire race starts with San’layn first.
+1 Playable San’layn, before Venthyr, for the Horde.

Something a little different for this post, as I came across a video that shows why vampires hates garlic, a little bit of vampire lore, and is a recipe for “beef with garlic harvester sauce.” Video below:
If you’re looking for some Halloween props, this video shows how to make some “vampire blood,” which is intended for a decoration and not consuming:
And today’s music post a remix of Shade Man’s theme from Mega Man 7, with a little bit of Castlevania’s Bloody Tears in it:
Yeah, it’s a shame. I think the Darkfallen as a Customization Race thing really knocked the wind out of our sails quite a bit. I know it’s still challenging for me to keep at it, knowing that San’layn as a Customization Race is potentially the more likely outcome.
I’m still hoping to sit down and start to work on a proper megathread introduction post in the near future. RL has been pretty chaotic when it comes to free time, and trying to find employment while also thinking of how to further my education at the same time has been challenging.
I honestly don’t really see the Shadowlands denizens playable at all, though this is my own personal opinion. It’s hard for me to see beings that have roles in the afterlife deciding to instead going to the living world (of Warcraft!) and taking orders from the Horde or Alliance, potentially engaging in petty kerfuffles between the two factions.
Even if there was some huge threat to the whole cosmology of the game’s setting, I still find it hard to imagine them playable. Moreso as we continue to distance ourselves from Shadowlands in general. Who knows?
If anything, the Haranir/Harronir have me a bit suspicious, since they’re bat themed Troll Elves. The NPC models seem to have a few customizations that seem like things people have suggested before in the previous SL megathread. They’re not really vampires however, so San’layn still have that going for them.
Ah well. If San’layn are to be a Customization Race, so be it. Much as I would still prefer them as a full race, if they at least shown becoming officially part of the Horde, then it would be fine, albeit bittersweet. Either way, I don’t really want to give up on San’layn, hard as it can be at times.

This reminded me why I hate Shadowlands so much. So they created the venthyr with all the gothing-vampire-related stuff except they made them… not vampires. I bet the individuals who came up with this thought it was genius. No in reality it was incredibly stupid.
Venthyr shouldn’t even exist. Shadowlands should not exist.

Today, I bring a recipe video for a “vampire poke cake.” Video is below, which also has all the ingredients and directions under its video description section:
I also have a video showing how to make some bat hanging decorations:
Of course, you can do this with any spooky Halloween images. Bats, ghosts, witches, you name it. 
And for this post’s music selection, I have a link to the entire OST of Organ Trail, where you can find timestamps in the video’s description for each song:
“Highways and Headstones” is my personal favorite track of the game, which is played at the 9:45 mark.
I’m also considering doing the intro post of the megathread in sections as opposed to all at once. Especially since I have a lot of research to do to make sure I get information right, since I’m not as much of a huge San’layn expert as the previous megathread’s owner.

But thats not a san’layn. Thats just a death knight using blood stuff. lol
The San’layn are a very specific thing and its not just a death knight.
Its like claiming that you’re a san’layn because you’re an elf using the Shadow Priest spec and have that one talent called San’layn. lol

I looked in the in-game calendar and saw that Hallow’s End begins on the 25th and not the 18th like that Wowhead link I had stated. Guess I was a bit mistaken. Whoops.
Anyway, for today’s post, I have some videos showing how to make some Halloween related snacks!
This first one has the ingredients used for each snack listed in the video’s description on its YouTube page in English, with the text in the video in Spanish:
