THE ADVENTURES OF NERIAD: Silvermoon, Part II

The Court of the Sun is a beautiful fountain area in front of the Sunfury Spire. It doesn't have much in the way of practical amenities, but it's beautiful to gawk at.



Beyond it lies the Sunfury Spire, the massive tower that holds the royal court in Silvermoon.



Inside is found Lor'themar Theron, the Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas, who is holding council with Grand Magister Rommath (on the right) and Halduron Brightwing, the Ranger General (on the left).



Inside the Sunfury Spire is found the priest trainers. In other cities, those who study for the priesthood are usually found in grand temples dedicated to the Light -- or in the case of Orgrimmar, a humble meditative hut in a reflecting pool. But not in Silvermoon. Here, those who study the Light work in a dark laboratory full of books and instruments. They study the Light for its power and properties; they do not worship it.

The mage trainers can be found on the opposite side of the tower in a similar looking room.



Up the ramp behind the Regent Lord is a bright glowing orb called an Orb of Translocation. As I clicked on it, it reminded me of the teleporters seen in the mage tower of Stormwind. I figured Neriad would be teleported to the top of the Sunfury Spire.



What the heck?! This looked like...



Oh, my God. This was Undercity! These Orbs of Translocation are direct instantaneous links between Silvermoon and Undercity. Take that, Underground Tram! Man, that sure beats the boat link to Auberdine that the Draenei get.
