This gorgeous eerie music plays in Raven Hill, so you might wanna go take a listen in game, it’s quite interesting! ^^

This track is called “Gallow’s End”, after the Gallow’s End Tavern in Brill, Tirisfal Glades, on the Taverns of Azeroth soundtrack.

Back in vanilla, the Gallow’s End tavern used to play a short, manic track upon first entering that was very reminiscent of the Warcraft 3 Undead campaign music (such as Blight and Carrion Waves). It was unique to the Brill inn:

As of Wrath of the Lich King with Brill’s revamp, this track no longer plays in the Gallow’s End Tavern or any other undead inn. To my knowledge, the last place it can be heard is at The Bone Pile in Razorfen Downs at the boss Mordresh Fire Eye. 

oooh! Thank you for the addition!! ^^

The other day I got a bug up my ass about lake Natron, because I’ve seen the photos of the calcified remains of animals that took a dip in the lake on accident, but I’ve only seen those photos in black and white. I’m sure you’ve seen them.

I thought, you know, calcified remains should be really interesting to see in color, so I tried to find some that had been taken by others, in color. It was not nearly as visual stunning, they were just white rotting remains, I won’t scar anyone by posting them.

But what caught my eye wasn’t the dead. It was the fucking lake.

It’s BLOOD fucking RED.

It’s super alkaline (deadly), blood fucking red (terrifying), and oh, it gets to be 106F/41C in the water. Red spirulina algae thrives here and provides food for the main denizen of the lake…. fucking lesser flamingos.

Look at their fucking mud nests!

You need to leave!! You have found flamingo Silent Hill!! What are you still doing here!! I’ll tell you!! They’re still doing there because literally the death lake protects them from predators, nothing big enough to be a threat to them gets across the lake to get them. There are millions of them living there safely.

What the fuck. what the FUCK nature. This is some of the most amazing shit you’ve ever pulled and hardly anyone knows about it. I’m on to you. I see your blood lake with your pink goth bird decorations. I see you.

There are some greaters on Natron too, but yep, it’s mostly lessers! They feed off the algae in the lake. In fact, approximately 75% of all lesser flamingos are born on Lake Natron. That means it’s an incredibly important place and deserves protection and respect!

I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.

He stops and looks both ways?!?

You wanna know what makes this better?

Crows normally walk. This one seems to have both legs working, so he’s not hopping out of necessity, he’s doing it for fun. Corvids can sometimes be seen doing things like this for no evident reason other than enjoyment.
