Naei’s wisp on a rain-soaked road in Duskwood.

Across the sea

A long way from Shadowglen

Naei had begun the day in Shadowglen, with Akiru and Kyrl already among her company. By evening she had crossed the sea and travelled through Elwynn. Her first day abroad had also included a run back to her body in Duskwood.

Across the sea

Four paws

The journey to Moonglade had brought her to the Great Bear Spirit. Back in Darnassus, she completed her training. By the time she joined the work in Westfall, she could meet it on four paws.

Across the sea

A mage named Robin

Akiru and Kyrl were with her through the work in Westfall. A mage named Robin joined them, and together they swept through the countryside again and again. There always seemed to be something left to do.

She would come back to this spot, after a good deal more travelling.

A place in the line

There was time for fishing in Ironforge before her druid’s lessons drew her away again.

Through the gates again

Her lessons had taken her through Moonglade and Darkshore. Stormwind was becoming a place she returned to between journeys.

Over the edge

The work at Stonewrought Dam would bring her back more than once. On this visit, she stopped to look over the edge.

The day’s work around the Loch was finished. Redridge still lay ahead.

Across Azeroth

Along the southern coast

Naei headed south with Akiru and Kyrl. Her lessons had given her a way to travel by water, and she followed Stranglethorn’s coast toward Booty Bay.

Out on the spar

Akiru was aboard too. They were bound for Ratchet, with Stonetalon still ahead of them.

From Ratchet, they crossed the Barrens on their way to Stonetalon. Kyrl went ahead; Naei followed.

At the moonwell

They had reached Stonetalon Peak together. Naei’s work there was done; before the night was over, they would be back on the other continent.

Across Azeroth

The other side of the dam

Back at the Loch, their errands drew them north. Beyond the dam lay the Wetlands, Arathi, and the road to Southshore.

They had reached Hillsbrad. On the return journey, Naei approached Menethil by water.

Under Ironforge

In Ironforge, the keepers needed help with the disturbed tombs. Naei went down into the Hall of Thanes with Akiru and Kyrl. They put Anvilmar’s spirit to rest and brought the recovered heirlooms back to the city.

After the Hall of Thanes and another crossing, she stopped to fish at Cliffspring River.

Back at the harbour

The next day brought her back to Booty Bay. She stayed to fish before heading north again.

She found time to fish at Astranaar too. Later that day, she would be back with Akiru and Kyrl, following the Defias trail.

The road back to Westfall

Back in Elwynn, Naei took the road toward Westfall. The hunt for the Defias would bring her together with Akiru and Kyrl again, this time into the Deadmines. They reached the ship in Ironclad Cove. Afterwards, she returned to Sentinel Hill with VanCleef’s head.

A rest in Redridge

After the Deadmines, she and her friends took on the work around Lakeshire and Stonewatch. Here in Galardell Valley, Naei took a rest. Kyrl was still nearby.

North again

Akiru and Kyrl had been with her again that evening. Their travels continued into the Wetlands before the night was over.

Back to the Loch

The same rock

Days after her first visit, Naei returned to the same rock above the Loch. For a while, she stayed.
