Around Azeroth: My only love sprung from my only hate
Holy Toledo, this has got to be the most effort I've ever seen anyone put into an Around Azeroth submission. Wikiwand of <Hellions> on Cenarion Circle wrote the following Shakespearean parody to accompany this screenshot from the Undercity:
Two skeletons, both alike in dignity,
In vile Undercity, where we lay our scene,
From ancient bones break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal jaws of these two foes
A pair of skull-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their undeath bury their fleshy strife.
The fearful passageway of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their forsaken rage,
Which, but their skeletal end, nought could remove,
Is now the deathly hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with missing ears attend,
What here shall miss, our death coils shall strive to mend.
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them 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, Val'kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

Um...actually, it's "naught", but...

Very nice! I've always liked this view when flying into Undercity, and the contribution of Shakespearean prose is just the right epic touch! Kudos!

Nope, "naught" was short for "naughty". See Hamlet, act 3, scene 2.

"wrote the following Shakespearean parody"
Taking an epic play and changing 15 words of the prologue - not sure that counts as 'writing' per se. :P
But still, neat!

LOL you mentioned my city.

Excellent, the match of Shakespeare and WOW.

I've been playing for years, and it bothers me that I still haven't managed to get up to those areas in Undercity. I've seen the passages wind around and such overhead, but haven't made it yet! Anyone want to give me a hint?

I'm guessing this was taken as they were on the flightpath out of undercity, I don't know if you can actually get up there, but I know you fly through it.

Actually you can get up there, just look it up on youtube

"... if you with missing ears attend,"
Tee hee. Very nice.
