Yohannes: Cataclysm


Tyrk tells me an entire district in Stormwind was destroyed by Deathwing. Coccinelle says Booty Bay is a mess. Dounonurnese' description of the Barrens' rift is impressive. Those are so distant, though. Amazing tales from far away lands.

I did not truly comprehend the Cataclysm until I came to Darkshore and went out in search of survivors from Auberdine. I knew Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde. We all knew Gwennyth and were very fond of her. Most of The Nation spent time gathering samples for her the whole length of Darkshore's coast. I found Gwennyth dying on the beach. I held her as she gasped her last breath. There were so few survivors. All along the beach north of Auberdine I found the scattered corpses of our fellow Night Elves, former trainers and associates.

More than any of the lands' upheavals, more than all the raw destruction wreaked by Deathwing's return, this is the Cataclysm's most painful blow. My once immortal friends are now forever dead.
