Prophet Velen

This is the Prophet Velen for the Cataclysm Pre-Event

• 
  
• King Varian Wrynn: We are ready to proceed. Magni, you have called this meeting. What concerns you?
• 
  
• King Magni Bronzebeard: You've no doubt noticed the string of earthquakes we've had in the last weeks. Something doesn't feel right about them.
• 
  
• Lady Jaina Proudmoore: What do you mean?
• 
  
• King Magni Bronzebeard: We dwarves have a connection to the earth. We can feel her pain. And right now the earth is crying out. These earthquakes... they are both natural and not. I wanted to gather you all together and discuss them.
• 
  
• Tyrande Whisperwind: Even in Darnassus we have noticed the earth is at odds with something.
• 
  
• King Magni Bronzebeard: I've received word from my brother Brann in Northrend. In his exploring of Ulduar he came across some unusual tablets... something ancient.
• 
  
• King Varian Wrynn: Nothing good has come from that dreadful place.
• 
  
• King Magni Bronzebeard: This might just change your mind. Brann is shipping the tablets to me as we speak. Preliminary reports from the Explorers' League state that they may be able to help us understand what is going on with the earthquakes.
• 
  
• High Tinker Mekkatorque: Our top minds have been looking into the seismic activities... Well, we've mostly been looking at how to secure a building's frame while at the same time simulating tectonic shifts...
• 
  
• High Tinker Mekkatorque: ...because on the one hand, this could be a handy device, the "Shake-a-Ton 2000." But on the other hand, the last thing we gnomes want to see is the mountains of Dun Morogh collapse and crush Ironforge.
• 
  
• Lady Jaina Proudmoore: So is that why you have moved out?
• 
  
• High Tinker Mekkatorque: Ha, not at all! Though it is a striking coincidence. Gnomeregan has been and continues to shame our people. It is long past time we reclaim our homeland.
• 
  
• King Varian Wrynn: Well, it is good that things have turned out... better for you and your people, High Tinker. But not all of us have the luxury of up and moving our kingdom.
• 
  
• Prophet Velen: And those that did know how dangerous these earthquakes can be. To this day, the Exodar is still shaking from our rather abrupt arrival.
• 
  
• Lady Jaina Proudmoore: I'm not certain we could organize our people to move even if we wanted to. We've also received word of hostile elementals appearing randomly across the lands, sometimes in towns, sometimes across the countryside. Moving may not be an option.
• 
  
• King Magni Bronzebeard: Well, there is at least a wee bit of good news... no offense, Gelbin. The shaking seems to have stirred up The Earthen Ring. Even the Wildhammer shaman have offered their help.
• 
  
• Tyrande Whisperwind: Perhaps these events are also what have brought forth the Highborne from Shen'dralar.
• 
  
• Prophet Velen: It seems as if this world is coming apart at the seams. I've seen these symptoms before, on Draenor... We may not be able to stop this. Fleeing may be our best option.
• 
  
• King Varian Wrynn: Fleeing is not an option I wish to entertain at this point. We will find another way. Perhaps these tablets from Ulduar will shed some light on our situation.
• 
  
• Lady Jaina Proudmoore: Hopefully we can get these answers quickly. The people are frightened, and cultists are taking advantage of that fear.
• 
  
• King Varian Wrynn: These cultists only exacerbate the problem. They preach the end of the world, or that the world is having birthing pains... Hyperbole that is hard for the populace to ignore.
• 
  
• Tyrande Whisperwind: Troubling times indeed. Fear of the unknown makes people do foolish things.
• 
  
• High Tinker Mekkatorque: And our lack of answers only fuels the confusion.
• 
  
• King Magni Bronzebeard: All the more reason we need to reach the bottom of this. This tablet from Ulduar will lead us in the right direction. Brann is sure of it. And if Brann is certain, then I am certain.
• 
  
• Lady Jaina Proudmoore: I've made it a point not to argue with a dwarf when it comes to the earth. If the Bronzebeards are sure this tablet will help solve the earth's problems, then by all means we should support them.

SW is not the place for horde early in 4.0.1

[link from the fellow who posted in magni's page]

"Not all those who wander are lost." is one of the greeting messages for Velen.

This is from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring:

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

This is the prophecy that foretells the reforging of the sword Narsil into Andúril and Aragorn's claim to the throne of Gondor as the heir of Isildur.

Appropriate, I think, for a Prophet.
