he warm Barrens air ran past my face. As the Wyvvern neared Camp Taurajo I pondered questions I could ask. I have heard about the Bloodhoof Guardians setting up a restaurant but have very little information about them other than that. I have also heard rumor that this Tauren has many dishonorable kills. Oh dear, I hope that's not true.

The Wyvvern sets down at the camp and before long Hawktalon arrives. We greet each other and he leads me into the tent-like hut. I had not realized the height of the chief so no wonder he preferred huts made by his own kind.

After some initial confusion over his title, which is entirely my fault, thinking he was a Scout, we began the interview.


 
Trogar Këgnash: What exactly are the Bloodhoof Guardians?
Armos Hawktalon: It's an order that tries to stop all attacks in the southern Kalimdor region (a slight pause) and sometimes Lordaeron. In fact, a few are now rushing to the Undercity.

T: The Undercity? Why?
A: There seems to be a big attack there. A Lot of Paladins too.

T: What do you do to the attackers?
A: (smiles) What do you think? (grins wickedly)

T: I see what you mean.
A: (laughs)

At this point Armos waits impatiently for the next question. He's obviously eager to return to battle.

T: I've have heard it rumored that you have many dishonorable kills, is this true?
A: (looks puzzled and shakes his head) I have in fact two only, who told you this? Snorkyorky?

T: Just some orc. I cannot give away there name.
A: Heh, its ok. (looks around)

 

T: I've also heard dat your group is setting up a restaurant.
A: (laughs) Now I know who told you this. We set up this restaurant quite a while ago now. Its more of a moving kind of one. Its never in the same place.

T: That must be hard to organize.
A: (shakes his head) Not really. We have a lot of hunters in the Guardians willing to give away their food for a good cause. (smiles)

T: Is there anything you can tell me about yourself?
A: Hmmm.... (looks up to the ceiling) Well I'm A Tauren obviously (grins). I'm always happy to help in any type of cause. Good not so much bad but ya' know. (sighs) I live in Mulgore. I'm good friends with all factions of the Horde and I'm presumably well known by a lot of people.

T: That's about it. Anything else you want to add?
A: Well I'm always against any alliance who is opposed to us in any way but will help those who needs it. Like the Guardian's promise: "I Promise to stand strong and fight all opposition to the Horde whether it be I die trying I will protect the land".

 

As I stand and ask Armos for a photograph I hear him quietly chant something in his native tongue. He agrees. While I prepare for the shot, he calls his cat to his side. This is no ordinary pet, its teeth are long and pointed and it is almost half the height of his owner. Its clearly bred for hunting.

After I take the picture, I thank Armos for allowing me to interview him. He thanks me for my taking the time to do it, and then takes off to find another victory in battle.
