a song from the taverns of Ironforge retold by Mithressar upon memory
Far south of Silithus, the Kalimdor’s land barren Where fighting beasts from alien lands many a hero’s fallen Beyond the gates of Ahn Qiraj the sand’s imbibed with horror And valiant, wise or braves or fools that come are bound for sorrow First beast you meet is Kurinaxx a foul and creepy worm Then comes a mighty General with troops that eight times fold But their traps and mighty arms are easily defeated If your troop has warriors and is healers befitted But after…pray thee heed my words, let them in hearts engrave Or else you’ll fail in all attempts and get worth just for blame Buru the Gorger waits ahead upon a crystal clear pool Its mission is to guard the eggs and mind me he is no fool Attack him straight away you can’t no matter strength you yield The only trick that does it harm comes from the eggs he shield So get there, get prepared and ready, before you set in motion And in your bags you must behold Nature Protection Potion He’ll pick one from your group to kill and follow him in all place Keep that alive thru mighty heal and do not slow your fight pace Then lure him from one egg to next, and mind your step not falter Destroy the egg whilst he is near and thus its health will shatter When from its health a fifth is left your weapons do unsheath Attack him hard with all your might as now you see its filth It’s mighty carapace is blown and so he’s vulnerable But weak he’s not, at least as long as you are poisonable So drink your cure then fight along and let no bug survive you As when it’s slain there’s mighty loot and honor to be gain too As rulers from Cenarion Hold and those of the Nozdromu Will raise you in your stand with them, and then, in time, repay you
