HONEY: A SWEET REMEDY

REPORTER: Kalimeris Embersong

For centuries, honey has been celebrated for its culinary uses in many cultural recipes and brewing practices. Beyond its role as a natural sweetener, ho wever, honey boasts a wide array of healing properties This golden substance, produced by bees from the nectar of flowers, has also long been revered for its medicinal benefits. Honey from various regions can have different flavors, with samples from Stormsong Valley, Felwood, the Jade Forest, Zul’Gurub, and the Azure Span being the most recognizable examples.. Recent travel to Khaz Algar has brought information about another type of bee, and their honey, to light Cinderwold Bees harvest nectar that contains elemental fire giving their honey a spicy flavor

One of the most well-documented healing properties of honey is its ability to fight infections Honey has natural antibacterial qualities, and its high sugar content makes it effective at drawing water out of damaged tissues At the same time, honey’s natural sticky consistency provides a physical barrier, making it an effective topical treatment for wounds, burns, and cuts. It can be applied directly to the skin, or used in prepared skin care products The Earthen in Khaz Algar have long used firehoney mixed with clay as a healing poultice Honey is an excellent moisturizer, helping hydrate dry skin and treat various skin ailments while also helping in reducing visible scarring

A drink local to the Isle of Dorn called Infused Fire-Honey Milk helps boost immunity and promotes health. Honey’s thick texture coats the throat, reducing irritation and providing relief from coughing Its antimicrobial properties also help fight the

underlying infection that may be causing the cough or sore throat. In fact, honey has been found to reduce the severity and duration of respiratory infections in children As a side caution, never give honey to an infant under one year of age as it can potentially cause a serious illness.

In conclusion, honey is much more than a natural sweetener Its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties make it a powerful healing tool that can benefit everything from your skin to your digestive system Whether you’re treating a wound, calming a cough, or boosting your immune system, honey offers a natural and effective remedy Next time you reach for that jar of honey, remember it’s not just food, it’s nature’s sweet remedy!

RUNES: SYMBOLES OF ANCIENT POWER

REPORTER: Mavvi Solarvale

In the ancient world, beneath the shadow of Titans and amidst the whispers of the elements of Azeroth, a sacred language was born - a language not of spoken words, but of written symbols These symbols, known to us as runes, hold power that transcends time From the icy fjords of Northrend to the dark forests of Ashenvale to the deep caves of Khaz Algar, runes weave their way into the fabric of our consciousness, carrying with them the secrets of our cosmos These runes speak to those that seek the wisdom of ancient magics in realms both seen and unseen

Cultures that studied and first learned to craft their own runes were the Tauren and Dwarven peoples Their studies unlocked a hidden knowledge - a language of power, fate, and magic Runes are the basis of many of Azeroth’s written languages. The symbols relate to sounds of spoken languages from various lands and origins Signs above shops or marking roads may use runic-based letters However, runes as they are most often thought of are magically based symbols and do more than simply identify locations or convey information Many are said to hold their own magical power Magic schools that runes can access include light, shadow, fel, arcane, nature, and death Runes are more than mere letters or characters They are ancient symbols, each imbued with a unique energy, a living embodiment of forces that govern nature, magic, and the elements. To write a rune is to channel these powerful forces

The forms that runes can take differ slightly based on the medium they are written on Vertical and diagonal lines and curves are seen in the widest variety of runic symbols Horizontal lines can’t be carved into wood the way they can be etched into metal or stone Carving into wood horizontally

GENERAL

along the grain will sometimes split the board, spoiling it. Magically carved or invoked runes follow no such rules and horizontal lines are sometimes seen Tomes filled with magical runes can often be found in great libraries as parchment is a common way to convey them.

Three of the main types of runes encountered are Marks, Glyphs, and Sigils Marks are made on creatures by being tattooed, branded, carved, or even etched such as the Azure Dragonflight sometimes do with arcane runes on their scales Marked runes can be activated as soon as they are placed, or when certain magicallyset conditions have been met Glyphs are typically drawn on objects such as paper, cloth, or weapons, or even shaped onto stone or metal and placed at a specific location Glyphs are active immediately upon completion All manner of clothing and weapons can have runes crafted into them when they are being made, or added afterwards Some glyphs can become permanent Sacred runic magic does not allow glyphs to be used directly on items belonging to unwilling creatures. Stories circulate that ancient runes can be activated by unsuspecting adventurers resulting in harm This brings us to the third type of runes: Sigils

Sigils are essentially magical rune triggers They are drawn in a specific location and will sound an alarm to summon guards, or activate an item when stepped upon or touched

All runes have one thing in common - they must have a shape that the magic can pour into The shape holds the meaning and will carry the magic through the intent of the one who made it and the one who desired it to be made. Runic symbols in countless combinations give power to specific words and ideas: sacrifice, justice,

protection, safe journey, and many more In order to have the most precise meaning it is good to consult a runemaster, inscriber, or similarly titled expert in drawing runes. Rune patterns will help narrow down what sort of meaning will be active in the rune itself though the magic source can vary by the one creating the rune Pattern families such as healing, striking, shielding, motion and awareness, flame and frost, and so forth describe the rune types

One of the most powerful aspects of runic power is that while the symbols are predetermined, there is still capacity for change through awareness, intent, and usage of the rune To live with runes is to embrace the ebb and flow of life’s cycles Runes do not promise control over destiny

not promise control over destiny but offer wisdom, power, and clarity to navigate it In their silent presence, one could find both the comfort of ancient knowledge, and the challenge of self-discovery and potential

Though centuries have passed since the runes were first etched into metal, and carved into stone and wood, their mystical power endures. Today, seekers and practitioners continue to turn to the runes for guidance and power, keeping alive an ancient wisdom Whether used in personal meditation, divination, or magical practice, the runes remain a testament to our enduring quest to understand mysteries as big as the cosmos and as personal as the soul

BREAKING NEWS

The recent demise of of Dalaran has shook Azeroth’s economy ways we haven't see in recent history. A significant change can be felt as Azeroth lost a major export center of arcane trade, and magical research; sending the prices of arcane materials and such to soaring prices by as much as 30% in markets like Stormwind and Orgrimmar

The discovery of Khaz Algar offers a silver lining of sorts Within the subterranean mountains, a literal treasure trove for resource can be found

including rare Azerite-infused metals

Major factions are already rushing to establish trade routes and mining rights in Khaz Algar, with Ironforge taking the lead; estimated to boost their economy by 15% each week for the forseeable future

While the loss of Dalaran is still felt deeply across Azeroth; the discovery of Khaz Algar’s offers a silver of hope to our collective enocomy's future
