The discovery (many dramatic D:)

Along comes little itsDair. I had been busy with my studies and only really played Hearthstone and other “small” games, so I didn’t really know what was going on in WoW. All I knew was that I was looking forward to playing once again, and especially as a defender of the Alliance.

I pre-ordered the expansion, re-subscribed to WoW and talked to my friends, all to find out that they, once again and despite our “agreement”, had rolled Horde. This does sound quite much like a rant (maybe it is :P), and to be fair, most didn’t really have a Alliance/Horde preference, but I was just kinda dissapointed :(

The only redeeming factor was that I wanted to play a paladin, and if I had to do that as part of the Alliance, I couldn’t have played my beloved Gnome race, but would have had to play either a human or dwarf. Well, that and the fact that I would once again have to play alone if I chose Alliance xD

Where’s the protest?

Then a thought hit me - Why not express my disgruntled attitude with things in-game instead of saying them out loud? Personally I found the idea pretty hilarious :D

Starting off with the race of my paladin. As mentioned, I couldn’t be a gnome (:c) so I simply HAD to go with the other extreme, in terms of height: Tauren. Then the name was to be chosen and after much consideration, I ended up with the brilliant name: Knowm! :D (If you for some reason don’t get the joke/protest, “Knowm” is pronounced the same way as “Gnome” :P)

If you help Maximillian of Northshire killing some "dragons" and he'll provide you with a sweet Alliance shield :D
(unfortunately not the on he's holding himself)

Next was to get my newly-made Knowm to level 100 and look like I wasn’t a member of the Horde, but instead a member of the Alliance, while still being a big-ass Tauren, but how could I do that? Well, thank god for transmogrification! :D After some searching around over at wowhead.com, I discovered that the lightforge recolour was perfect for my purpose - It was blue and gold in colours (with a little green, but nevermind that) and the “set” even have a lion on the chest plate. Could I ask for a more perfect non-alliance set? :3

Final steps

Having gathered all the set pieces, and matching sets of weaponry, all that was left to do was to play the game, have fun and team up with my mates to let them find my protest themselves :P

Well, that was the intention… It turned out that I was so very far behind my friends, because of real life stuff like studies :c, that I still haven’t actually played with any of them xD

However, all good will come to those who wait, and so I will. I will wait until all of them sees my silent protest and I will laugh as I watch it eat them up from their insid… Wait, what? Nevermind that last bit… In the meantime I’ll just put the lovely Pepe-birb on my character’s head, us my Orb of Deception to turned into a Gnome and write a subtle “FOR THE ALLIANCE!” in my guild-note :3

I to you Present Knowm, Defender of the Alliance! :D
