With patch 7.3, Shadows of Argus, released just yesterday, Blizzard is catching us off guard, especially if you haven’t been following posts on Reddit or WoWHead. They have not only surprised us with a rich new extension to the story of Legion, but they have also given Mages, Druids and Priests new casting animations. Although we are still waiting for model updates for Goblins and Worgen, this provides a breath of fresh air that is similar to the first wave of player model updates at the beginning of WoD. Beware: Spoilers ahead!!! CAPTION: The Garothi Worldbreaker, an evolved form of the Felreaver and the first boss in the Antoran Raid. Our story commences following the heroic defeat of the Legion in the Tomb of Sargeras, when we pass …show more content…
CAPTION: One of the ancient houses of the Eredar and a Soul-Protector. New Quests litter the landscape, ranging from helping the Army of Light evacuate their trans dimensional ship to helping the Broken Draenei that were abandoned 25,000 years ago. This aspect adds diversity to the questing experience, grounding the player during the fight against the Legion. For example, following the main storyline, filled to the brim with important lore characters, your avatar may aid the Broken with supporting their dying breed of Talbuk by killing the cultists which are trying to wipe them out. This may take you back to your time on Azeroth, certainly up to level 10, where most of your experience involves helping farmers. If that isn’t your show, you could rush through the main questline and aid the famous Turalyon and Alleria Windrunner, never seen in game. If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ll know that they were trapped in Outland following the events of the novel, Beyond the Dark Portal. This, in a similar sense to Argus, has been a massive lore drop for us and bodes well for the future of the game and similar scenarios we may endure. CAPTION: Promo art for patch 7.3 released by Blizzard. Dataminers have already found files regarding patch 7.3.2, name obviously pending considering that each major instalment has so far been roughly 3 to 4 months apart. Game files show adaptation to the zone, Silithus, the
Quests help guide the player through the ideas of the developer, progressing them through new environments, introduce them to fictional characters, teach them how to engauge in combat, all while masking the experience in some form of narritive. It becomes an [[interactive]] experience for the players to both learn the game and enjoy themselves. In this form of developer led story telling, players are putting thier trust in what the creator of the game will provide for the time spent in game. We go into the game with little knowledge other than what assumptions we may already possess
The first year of fighting between Athens and Sparta is drawing to a close. As is customary during war, Athens holds a public funeral to both celebrate and mourn their fallen soldiers.

Medical advancements are very important for extending the quality and quantity of life, however a strong moral compass is needed to make sure, in the name of science, ethical and moral science are not crossed. Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, and the movie Gattaca propose a technologically advanced society that challenges these ethical and moral views. Although Brave New World and Gattaca relate in the aspect of genetic discrimination, they differ in the limits and powers of technology and the effects of human spirit.
Homer’s Iliad has been a European myth for many millennia , the long poetic narrative written in the 8th century B.C. recounts a fearsome war fought over a beautiful woman. The reliability of Homers Iliad as a true historical document has been challenged for hundreds of years and only through archaeological studies can the truth be deciphered. The Iliad was written five centuries after the war, where the stories had been passed down through the oral tradition, therefore the type of society reflected within the poems resemble much more the time of Homer .

From this chapter, In learned that the truth behind all quests is to find self-knowledge. Most of the time, the people on the quest are young and inexperienced, but by the end of their adventure, they’ve found their niche, and completed their mission.

Theseus, the newly found prince of Athens, embarks on several hero journeys including on against Minos’ Minotaur and the Labyrinth. Joseph Campbell’s representation of the hero’s journey fully encompasses Theseus’ narrative throughout his quest to defeat the Minotaur. Beginning with a call to adventure on through the crossing of the threshold and on to the reward and resurrection. Compared to Rank’s hero’s journey which includes a revelation and transformation with atonement, Campbell’s process fits more precisely to Theseus’ story.
In Penny M. Von Eschen’s book Satchmo Blows Up the World: Jazz Ambassadors Play the Cold War, Von Eschen writes about the positive effect that the jazz tours had on the international opinion of America during the Cold War. Due to the Soviet Union relaying the message in their communist propaganda that America was ridiculously racist, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the State Department funded multiple trips across the globe where jazz musicians, both white and African-American, would perform their music and inevitably help end the war. The musicians and the government often clashed though, mainly because they were both using the tours for their own personal aspirations, which were completely opposite of each other
this because all we do is work with our hands and use our brain a lot.
I looked down at my yellow tunic and blue pants. Unlike other soldiers around me, I didn’t have armor. Our commander slowly brought us to a stop in front of what appeared to be Constantinople, the city we sought to take over. We had been attacking the city for over a month and still we hadn’t made it past the protective wall. They laid a chain across the mouth of the Golden Horn to stop our ships from approaching the city. “Charge!” Our commander yelled from atop his white horse. I took off running with towards the walls. As we ran I smelled body odor, blood, and death. The sound of heavy breathing, crossbows being fired, swords clashing, and screams of pain filled my ears. Dead bodies littered the ground around us. As I neared the wall I threw the ladder I had in my hands against the wall and started to

“Gates of Fire” by Steven Pressfield is a historical fiction novel that describes the Spartans at The Battle of Thermopylae. The story is told from the perspective of the only survivor, Xeones, who is recovered and captured by the Persian Empire. Some argue that this novel is not a great source for 21st-century history students, and some also argue that this novel should not be read in a classroom setting due to its lack of historical content. Several even question the novel’s historical accuracy and find it to be no better than a traditional textbook. Although this novel is classified as fiction, a literary works of imagination, Pressfield’s description of the Spartans makes this novel a creditable source for students and makes it appropriate to read in a college environment.
Pericles was known for being a powerful speaker and in the end, the Athenians took his advice and war soon followed. A year after war broke out, Pericles was once again invited to speak, this time at the customary public funeral for those who had fallen in combat. What follows is arguably the best eulogy in history. For the families of the fallen soldiers he states that they did not truly die, for “famous men have the whole earth as their memorial…not in any visible form but in people’s hearts, [where] their memory abides and grows.” Of Athens he says, “Future ages will wonder at us, as the present age wonders at us now.” Pericles is able to remain optimistic of Athens’ victory and
In Mary Beard’s book, The Roman Triumph, she explores one of the most interesting victory celebrations of the ancient world. Instead of having a small gathering, or even a raucous party, Romans brought what they had seized and carted it through the city. They even brought some people they had captured so that the crowd could know exactly who they triumphed against. This celebration gives historians a view into the Romans lifestyle. Roman triumphs also show what values were important to the Romans and where they found their significance. Using Mary Beard’s book I will demonstrate the nature of Roman triumphs by giving examples from Pompey’s triumph in 61BC, what these triumphs tell historians about the Roman world and why they are significant, and what they tell us about the values the Romans held dear.
