Warcraft Short Story
World of Warcraft: Dark Mirror
Nathanos Blightcaller has faithfully served the Banshee Queen, Sylvanas Windrunner, both in life and in undeath. This service has demanded great sacrifice—and difficult choices. His unlife has been measured out in many conquests as champion of the Forsaken, but the burden of his duty to the Dark Lady has taken a toll upon his ever-decaying body.
Nathanos looked down at his left hand. There was enough skin and sinew remaining to grasp a bow, and to teach even the clumsiest of his pupils how to nock an arrow. But he could tell that his strength had waned. His undead flesh continued its inevitable decay, and there would come a day when this hand would be rendered useless or rot away altogether. What good would he be to her then?
He might be a decomposing husk, he told himself, but he still knew the meaning of duty. "Tell me what you command, my queen."

This was actually really well written and quite a touching short story

This is an exciting piece of lore for any Forsaken/ Sylvanas fan, especially for those few of us who actually don't hate Nathanos Blightcaller. I enjoyed this, just like I always enjoy any extra information on important events we don't get to witness in game. Can't say I am obsessed with the writing style as a whole, but there are no major complaints either.
This thing is only 16 pages long, but I believe this is my third time reading it (was looking for an art reference this time), so it's only fair to add it here and not feel bad about it not being a *proper book*, lol.
