Maccabeus's biography follows a Lordaeron camp cook whose Second War trauma curdles into a murderous obsession with elves. After rising into undeath, he carries that hatred from the Scourge to the Warsong lumber camps and finally toward the Blacktooth Grin.
As Eydrana’s failing magic reaches its end, she calls companions to Stonard to settle her affairs and entrust an apprentice’s future to Shadiel. Her death leaves Maccabeus irreverently memorializing her while Bok’theg privately considers what opportunity it creates.
Mido hides a recurring seizure and black vomit behind a bolted door, then confronts a taunting half-ermine apparition in her mirror. After the vision needles her about loneliness and an old bargain with the shadows, she cleans the room and ventures back outside.
Maccabeus discovers jars of ‘Bowels ’n’ Brains’ stocked in the Grin vault and gleefully claims one for a later meal. An OOC aside thanks the anonymous guildmate responsible for the feast.
