Freewind Post
Freewind Post
A Horde town located high on a mesa in Thousand Needles, inhabited by a small number of tauren. Tauren settlements in Thousand Needles are constructed atop the tall mesas in the region, staying out of reach of the centaur warbands that have several camps in the area. The village on the mesa's top is accessible by the employment of the ingenious wooden lifts of the tauren, although there is a series of rope bridges spanning amongst the adjacent pinnacles, gradually working their way to the top.
The tauren of Freewind Post work to stop the activity of the Galak centuar in Thousand Needles. Roguefeather harpies pose a less dire threat to the stability of the region as well. Another large aspect of the society of Freewind Post deals with the wyverns of Highperch, where young tauren are sent study the wyverns and to cull eggs from their ancestral nesting grounds to be raised as mounts for the Horde.
The Horde-aligned tauren of Freewind Post are growing continually more wary of the activities of the Grimtotem Tribe situated atop Darkcloud Pinnacle to the northwest. The Grimtotems are suspected to be involved in murder, kidnappings of Freewind tauren and visits from agents of unknown, but reportedly dark, origins. The chieftain of Darkcloud Pinnacle, Arnak Grimtotem is largely held to be responsible for these heinous transgressions. The Freewind Post tauren, Lakota Windsong was taken against her will when she refused Arnak's advances. Her brother was slain when he came to her defense. She is apparently close friends with Thalia Amberhide
Closely related to the problems with the Grimtotem is the concern surrounding a so-called "Alien Egg" that is rumored to have appeared near the nests of the Needles' resident wind serpents. The Grimtotem have given supplication to the creature that hatched from the egg, Arikara, Serpent of Vengeance, in hopes that it would aid them in their mission to depose Cairne Bloodhoof as punishment for his changes to tauren culture and tradition.
Recently, a Blood Elf presence has appeared in Freewind Post in the form of Magistrix Elosai, who is effectively an exile of Silvermoon. Her controversial quest to seek a natural cure to the Blood Elves' racial addiction to the arcane has led her to Freewind seeking reagents to use in her remedies, along with help from her associate, Wizlo Bearingshiner at Whitereach Post.
