This is Tzia's husband guest blogging for the first (and maybe only) time. You can call me Torr, which is what I go by in WoW. Tzia has been bugging me to guest blog here for at least two years, and I haven't taken the bait until now. I'm not much of a writer and I feel I usually don't have much to say. However, I recently wrote something of Great Wall of Text as a Tziahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09199820284267046486noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351206940376104427.post-67936485208438387572010-04-18T10:51:00.000-07:002010-09-21T17:33:14.738-07:00Kora's Story : Taming Black and GoldIt was in the midst of the Feast of Winterveil, and the blood elf huntress stood, hand steady on the hilt of a worn blade, the best she could afford.
