My last undertaking before departing for w-space was completing a storyline mission for Core Complexion, Inc. The promise of significant standings increase was enough not only to hold me back briefly in order to complete the mission but also to almost cause me to falter, as it gave me ...

Gnomesblight, my death knight, has finally reached one hundred victories in the battle for Lake Wintergrasp, granting her the achievement of 'Wintergrasp Veteran'.
