Description

It was only yesterday that I sent him out to investigate the farm directly east of here, but it feels like an eternity has passed!

True perfection. The way his blond locks framed his perfect blood elf face... Such strength. I didn't want to send him away, but he insisted! How could I refuse him?

Alas, poor Johnny Awesome has not returned! I fear the worst, <name>. Find him!
