A leather bag carried by an overly taxed eagle that begged the woman for water.

Cere’thien

My oldest friend, I must hope your year has been as perfect as you have always been, even if you will argue with me. I have watched amazing changes come across you in life and through each one watched you grow stronger from it. You will always be astounding to watch and I look forward to every year I may do it, even if I have to do it from afar in rumors because I am too foolish to come see you in person; perhaps my old age is finally wearing on me. I do not know if you still have your old daggers from our days as rangers, but if you do, now you have two. I smithed these daggers myself, from a metal I found deep in the caverns of Quel’Thalas. I hope they remind you of who you have been and who you are now, someone who is always becoming better. I shall always love you, Cere’thien. I believe you shall always deserve the best and do whatever I can to help you achieve it.

Stay amazing Alorinis

(whatever style her daggers were, imagine it!)

A very tired eagle visited Laeren with a small bag clutched in its talons.

Laeren

I wish I knew better words to write in a letter to you, but in truth I merely miss seeing you. You have always been someone comforting to speak with, always with a joke ready for any situation. It is a personality missed on the battlefield filled with demons, and one I hope I can return to soon afterwards. I hope you can carry this dagger and remember me fondly when you tell another joke.

Joke well Alorinis

Carried back to Niklos by a well fed looking Pinchy was a small wooden box.

Niklos

It seems a year or more since we have spoken and that is undoubtedly my fault. I have allowed my friend to vanish from my life like a fool and I pray he will be able to forgive me. When I return from the Broken Isles, I hope we will be able to share stories over tea. I found this tome during my time on the Broken Isles, in a chapel within a Shal’dorei village. It is a prayer book of sorts, seeming to speak of their limited religious views. I thought it may prove interesting study for you. I hope I am right and have not instead given you a foolish gift from a foolish friend.

Keep well Alorinis

A small smoke dropped in Kirollis’ pocket by a passerby in the crowd, with a note.

Kirollis

I grew some of these herbs in my greenery before I left for the Broken Isles, but I thought it would be best for you. They are a strain of a very relaxing herb grown with another strain that promotes facial hair growth. I hope you enjoy them, along with the fun design of the cigar.

Enjoy Alorinis

Carried to Vandeis by a overly large eagle, with a crate carried by its talons.

Vandeis and Alexei

I hope your winter has been good and that you have found adventures on the Broken Isles. I loved the shell you sent me, it was warming to know it came from one of your explorations. I know my gift is late, but I hope you enjoy it all the same. The brush is for Alexei, unless you also want to use it, and the cask contains one of my favorite ales. It is a brew out of Dun Morogh, called Thunderbone Ale. I hope you enjoy it is as much as I do.

Have an adventure Alorinis

A scroll carried to Nuellen in the talons of a very taxed eagle, with an attached note.

My darling dragonhawk

This year alone I have watched you grow so much. You have challenged your fears, put yourself into a new position in life, and strove to make a stronger status for yourself. I have always been proud of you, but this year I have been especially so. Years ago I began working on cultivating a grove in Quel’Thalas, though I was not always sure what for then. I learned earlier this year what it would be for. The map that Thefusul has brought to you will lead you to this grove, where there is enough space to build a house. It is a grove of tranquility, where I have woven together the natural energies of the plants to remove any unnatural sources. It should be able to keep the Nightmare Pack from your senses, if you chose to use it for a home or merely a reprieve.

I love you my daughter, Alorinis

A leather scroll was left on Rennali’s bed, which looked slept on recently.

To the Future Queen of Quel’Thalas

No, but really. Rennali this year I have been a terrible friend to you. I have rarely reached out to you and I have yet to even visit you. It is as if I died and forgot to tell you, and I am sorry my friend. You have always been a strong friend to me, willing to stand by me through every stupid idea, even if you yell at me about it afterwards. Because of you I have had the courage and support needed to seek my status as a noble in Quel’Thalas and afar, gaining power to do true good in this world off of the battlefield. Even in my considerable life time I must doubt I will ever be able to pay you back for everything you have done, but I will spend my life trying to pay you back for it. I send you this gift in hope that you will take it to heart. I found this map while I was searching through an antiquities shop, but believe it was meant for you. The map will lead you to an uncharted place within the Storm Peaks, and is promising to hold wonders for you. I implore you to go, be the adventurer you are destined to be; before you are put on the throne.

With the most care, Alorinis

A glass case was carried to House Lightweaver by an attendant in colors of The Grove, directed to be given to the lady of the house.

Annekka

Dearest cousin, you have always been a strong and commanding presence, and I shall always love you for that. Whether in good times or bad, of which we have had many, we have remained family. I know your times have been difficult and still ones you have to keep getting through, but I want you to know that we are all here for you when you are ready. Your children are doing well, both getting along perfectly with my own children. Adrya is caring for them all at our home, ensuring they are taken care of. I pray your year ends well and your next one brings you to visit us soon.

Love, Alorinis
