Around Azeroth: All happy families
I've leveled as Alliance through Zangarmarsh, and I never once paid attention to this surprisingly sweet fountain in Telredor. Then again, it was temporarily removed after all those protests from the Aldor Society of Decency about how it glamorized single draenei mothers. Funnily enough, the issue disappeared as soon as the election was over. (Thanks to Thorinoak of Immortal Order on Duskwood [US-A]).

All the times I've been there and I never noticed it! Wow. I must have been distracted by K. Lee Smallfry I guess.

That's nice. I've never seen that, but then my highest alliance toon is a 41 human pally.

You probably would have missed it anyways... I lvl'd four alliance toons through Zangamarsh and never noticed this fountain... the tree-town its up in is pretty much skippable, because it's both inconvenient and not really much going on... most of the questing in Zangamarsh is still based on the Cenarion Expedition.

Protest? Against a memorial depicting a family pouring water from sacrificial urns in remembrance of those who had given their lives fighting the forces of evil in Zangarmarsh? I don't know what you're talking about, and I'm an Aldor. /shrug

It's a, uh, jab at American politics.

*psst...I'm not really an Aldor...I know it was a jab at Social Conservatives ala Quayle vs Bergen circa 1992. :P

Ooh, I thought you might have been a Brit or something.

I do not want to believe that I have not once noticed that statue in all my visits to Telredor

How in the hell did I miss that fountain? I've been to telredor loads of times.

Haven't I seen this screenie in Postcards form Azeroth (Azeroth Daily by TotalBiscuit)? ;)
Nonetheless, it's very nice, and yeah - I've also not noticed it even after levelling so many characters through Outland..

Because at ground level next to it all you see is the mushrooms, but yes it is there.
