Hello everyone! In the domain of sinners, revendreth, there roams a majestic spirit.
Within the Endmire, adventurers unaware or on the hunt can run into the spirit of Dead
Blanchy. Taking care of her will earn her trust and allow you to ride this once assumed
to be noble steed, but what has blanchy done in life to be judged worthy by the arbiter
to end up here? What evils must she have commited, what sins has she obtained in secret to have
earned her place among the condemned souls of revendreth?
To uncover that story we’ll need the aid of the bronze dragonflight and go back in
time after the defeat of the Horde but before Thrall rose up and formed his new one. Back
then he still lived as a slave gladiator, forced to fight for the humans amusement under
the cruel thumb of Blackmoore. Yet not all humans were awfull, his friend Taretha was
a shining light in the darkness. Eventually the slave was pushed too far, broke free of
the shackles placed on his mind and the cage that surrounded him. We get to experience
that moment in the caverns of time. Thrall escaping durnholde and it’s there where
young blanchy hangs out in the stables. Together with the other tarren mill horses she has
a pretty comfy life. All they could ask for really, but to our blanchy it’s not enough.
When the stablehand enters and gives Bessy a bright, juicy red apple, jealousy overtakes
her mind. Her foot stomps on the ground and if it wasnt for the barricades, who knows
what else that foot might be stomping in right now. The stablehands tries to calm her down,
tries to explain himself. She can’t have any apples today. Tomorrow they’re taking
her down to Southshore where she’ll take a boat across the sea. A big adventure across
country all the way to his brothers beautiful farm in westfall with lots of space for her
to roam. But was that enough to sate her lust for blood over the apple? Moments later as
we escort thrall out of Durnholde and towards his friend Taretha, he hides out in the stables
under the watchful gaze of blanchy. You can see the scenario play out in her mind. She
could be kind and quiet for our hero thrall to go unnoticed...but she doesn’t. She makes
so much noise that the guards outside come in to check what’s going on. If it wasn’t
for us, Thrall journey would have ended prematurely... just a spooked horse or things going exactly
as she planned?
Fast forward in time as the details of her journey are not known. One can only wonder
what horrible fate awaited those on that doomed vessel. how many lives were lost getting her
to westfall, but to be certain, she made it to Farmer Theodore Furlbrow and his lovely
wife Verna. Humble pumpkin farmers, nice, good people that ran into bad times as westfall
isn’t doing too well. With the Stormwind Nobles refusing to pay the stonemasons guild
for their hard work on rebuilding stormwind, edwin van cleef lead riots through the streets
and formed the defias brotherhood. Based within the deadmines, the defias brotherhood loot
and pillage, ultimately wanting to take vengeance upon Stormwind. The Furlbrow’s pumkin farm
was one of the many farms in the area that they took over meaning that husband and wife
had to leave their home. They even made sure to feed now Old Blanchy before they left but
was that good enough for this horse? Of course not. The glutenous beast can’t stand it
when other get fed and not her. Can’t stand being away from all the pumpkins she could
eat. Verna thinks the wagon breaking down is just bad luck, but is it really, or is
it a clever scheme of blanchy to not have to do more work? Now she just gets to hang
out at the entrance into westfall with random adventurers showing up. Grabbing some oats
for her each and every day in exchange for her old blanket and feed pouch. While her
owners are forced to stand there, day and night. Unable to move further, unable to go
home. Why did you do it blanchy, why did you sabotage the wagon...Were the oats really
worth it?
From westfall blanchy’s journey took her to the cold lands of Northrend, to the westfall
Brigade encamptment withinin the grizzy hills. Private Furlbrow, the son of Theodore and
Verna is stationed here, protecting the honor of his moms cooking while our fiendish steed
is tended to by Gryan Stoutmantle’s squires: Walter and Percy. Being send here might have
been bad enough, but to make matters worse...those oats blanchy got used to on a daily basis
are no where ot be found. Walter does his best to find them for her, but he comes up
back empty handed and Blanchy doesn’t like that...not one bit. Rage sustains her while
dealing with the freezing cold and the rising undead. One burning quest for vengeance brings
her back to Westfall, to the farmers that dared send her away.
The cataclysm hit the world of Azeroth while Blanchy returned to Westfall. Remember how
so called alliance heroes went into the deadmines to deal with Edwin van cleef, bringing back
his head as proof of demise? Well, none of them realised that Edwin was not alone on
that ship. His daughter Vanessa was there that faithful day, seeing her only family
slaughtered infront of her eyes. The only people who actually knew about her
birth were Theodore and Verna so when a helpless little girl showed up at the Saldean’s farmhouse,
they took her in and gave her the new name Hope. But Hope would grow up to fill the shoes
of her father. To make those pay that took everything from her. When she put her plans
in motion, she figured out that the Furlbrows recognized her face from when she was a baby.
They had to die, swiftly and sillently, before they could identify her. That’s when we
run into Blanchy again, part of a gruesome crimescene. Farmer Furlbrow and his wife are
dead on the floor, pitchfork still in hand, bodies still warm. Some possessions, a card
and ofcourse a sack of oats to keep Blanchy happy are scattered nearby while the horse
herself might be in the most peculiar possition. Looks like they really put the cart...before
the horse...
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Did she regret her deeds in life just before taking her last breath, heroicly trying to
defend the sweet farmers that wanted nothing but a nice, caring workhorse to drag their
cart around? Doubtfull, otherwise why is she running around in Revendreth? if I had to
take a guess then i’d say that our blanchy here knew about the Vancleef Furlbrow connection.
Observed this so claled hope growing up, confiding her secret plans in this old reliable horse.
Putting things together, she knew that if...by chance...by accident...they would just take
a little walk on a specific day at a specific moment, they’d run into Vanessa and the
daughter of Edwin would take care of the rest. Atleast that’s what blanchy expected, Vanessa
herself using her poisons on the couple to quietly get the deed done, but that’s not
what happened now is it? She let others do the dirty work, others with a sick sense of
humor and no love for this old horse....
And so her spirit went to the Shadowlands, before the arbiter who gazed upon Blanchy
and immediately realised the sins that burden this soul. Onwards to Revendreth to repent
and time has not been kind for this Sinrunner. Mites are stinging her skin with sharp thorns
sending shocks each step she takes. Smelly muck coats her as she’s forced to run the
same route over and over again...until we track her down in the Endmire and force her
to stop. Over the course of six days we get a chance to earn her trust, to patch her back
up, to see if this naughty horse has learned anything from her time her.
First of course that hunger that dominates her every thought. In westfall we pick up
the oats she enjoyed in life which dead blanchy accepts enthusiastically.
The next day we use a grooming brush from Snickersnee in Darkhaven to clean the irritants
from her skin. Dead blanchy sivers and nuzzles us and as she shifts her weight and stamps,
we notice her hooves are badly chipped. You might have run into a discarded horsehoe
here and there in Revendreth, we can use those to tend to her injured feet. She lifts her
hooves obediently and is quite happy with the fix up. All that running has made her
thirsty so we grab a bucket from Darkhaven, journey to bastion or ardenweald for a fresh
batch of water so she can quench her thirst. Eagerly she drinks the entire bucket before
butting her head against us. She’s no longer thirsty, but now shivers uncontrollably.
The broker Ta'tru at the night market can help us out with getting a comfortable saddle
blanket but their price depends on the day, on what the market demands. Sometimes they’ll
ask for aethereal meat at other times it might be creeping crawler meat or phantasmal haunch.
A fair trade to make blanchy warm again and as her shivering slows and then stops, she
starts searching our bags for a treat. Back to where it all started....apples....Dredhollow
apples to be precise bought from Mims near the Charred Ramparts. Her nostrils flare as
she scents the apples, eagerly crunching them up. Dead blanchy sighs contendly and places
her head on our shoulder.
And I bet you were thinking that talking about that apple at the start was a waste of time,
but just look at what we need to do to earn blanchy’s trust. Apples, oats, a comfortable
blanket...it’s all connected. Or it was actually the Furlbrow’s that are the sinners
here considering that Sinrunners not only end up in Revendreth due to their own sins,
but also get carried in the wake of their masters sins. While some chose to run free,
many continue to serve darkness in death as they did in life.
Or it could just be a fun little cameo for a horse that’s been with us all the way
since classic. What ever might be the case, what ever made the arbiter decide...Now we
get to ride her, the beautiful sinrunner form she has. Just make sure to bring enough treats
as you ride along the domains of the SHadowlands, otherwise you might soon find yourself no
longer just visiting.....
And with that, we’ve come to the end of the video. Say that you want to obtain blanchy
yourself, link to a wowhead guide is in the description down below. Next week blizzcon
is upon us and with the crazyness of the world, it will be free to view for anyone. We should
be able to check it out together on stream aswell and I can’t wait to see what they’re
working on. Mostly curious to see how the state of the world has effected their content
