I was making my way through Stormwind Keep to deliver news about the Defias Brotherhood when Count Remington Ridgewell waved me over. He told me of a lost relic of nobles who used to rule in Alterac. The Perenolde Tiara.
Old Kelsey can’t turn down a good adventure, so I hopped on the Deeprun Tram to make my way up to Alterac. I didn’t have a mount yet, so I packed some snacks and made my way to Loch Modan. I then took a turn up to the Wetlands where I was chased by several 6-legged crocodiles. And if you thought that was bad, I then had to run through Arathi Highlands where I was chased by several DINOSAURS!! Yup, raptors aren’t just in Jurassic Park anymore. I then made it to Hillsbrad and saw where Alterac was in the zone. I had to be very careful as I saw a town full of Horde on the way. I saw a Blood Elf making silver at a forge and I said “Hi” to her but she seemed too busy to talk.
Finally, I caught sight of the city Alterac. It seemed the town had been besieged by ogres. I tried to sneak past them, but this little gnome turned out to be quite the giant slayer. Then I saw him. Grel’borg the Miser. Our eyes locked and I demanded he hand over the tiara. But he wasn’t willing to negotiate, so things turned bloody. It was a tough fight, but Kelsey came out on top.
Tiara in hand, I pulled my hearthstone from her bag and used it… Then, as I landed in Gnomeregan I realized I probably should have set my home to Stormwind.
A quick tram ride and a run up to Stormwind Keep, I handed the tiara over to Count Ridgewell. And for my efforts, I was awarded with… 40 silver.
I then spent that on 3 Flagons of Dwarven Mead.
