Around Azeroth: Over the hills and far away
The global economic meltdown has spread to Azeroth. Formerly employed in a prestigious position with the Cenarion Circle, tauren druid Daykin of Arygos has resorted to working as a Dalaran tour guide. And what tour would be complete without a view of scenic Icecrown Citadel, so threateningly close to Dalaran? I've said it before and I'll say it again -- if Rhonin would put aside some of Dalaran's pointlessly enchanted mundane objects budget to build a really good surface to surface missile infused with a Holy agent, this war would be over and we could all stop freezing our butts off in Northrend and go back home. Instead, poor fiscal choices have doomed us all to early zombiehood.
Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, double-mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.Filed under: Screenshots, Around Azeroth, Galleries

^^ This. Also, that's a pretty sweetly framed screenshot.

Thyrfing's version is better than the Nightwish one.

I wish my screenshots looked like this, but I doubt my laptop could handle it if I turned my graphics up.

Hate to rain on your parade, but uh... Saronite reacts somewhat violently to the Light. As in, it creates a great big explosion of Shadow energy that would be the World of Warcraft equivalent of a nuclear bomb that only killed living subjects.
Besides, the Dalaran financial budget would be better spent on building a better prison, perhaps with more than five prison guards on duty at any given time.

Thank you so much for picking my screenshot, WI! I'd just like to add that the toon's name in the picture is Daykin, from Arygos realm. :D
The picture came about when my swift birdy self was flying up to dalaran. I have fond memories of the "falling game" that druids used to play in the center of shat. So I flew up to the very very highest precipice of dalaran, and landed on the ledge. I looked over the edge. Woo boy, was I high up! After taking some pretty pictures, I noticed something that was kind of sort of important...I was counted as being within Dalaran, and thus, my flight form and flying mounts were disabled.
Needless to say, jumping from that ledge and furiously clicking the flight form button was a terrifying experience. :)
