Last night I informed Captain Vimes that I'd be leaving Theramore. He bid me farewell but asked if I might preform one final task: to lay a wreath of flowers on the grave of James Hyal's family. Although I said I'd do so, I chose not to say that it was cheapening the act of it. True, I exacted retribution on their behalf upon the Grimtotem clan, but it wasn't out of any need for revenge that I felt.

Not even a moment after laying the offering on the grave, the very air stirred and two spirits formed there: a woman and a child. They thanked me for bringing them peace, though I wonder how much peace they're really at. The dead should stay dead, and I think it fortunate that it was not the frail mind of Hyal which came to lay that wreath.

I think I will miss Theramore just a little, despite its thoroughly human atmosphere. It's less pretentious here than in Stormwind or Menethil, and the people under the rule of the Lady Proudmoore are fortunate. I hope it stays this way, though with the growing Alliance presence in this part of Kalimdor, it may not for long.

Although my original intention was to head north, flying by gryphon to Felwood, I've been asked to report to New Thalanaar, in the east of Feralas. Apparently more Grimtotem fighting has broken out there.
