The Thundercaller

From WoWWiki

The Thundercaller is a zeppelin with a goblin crew and Forsaken guards and runs between a tower outside Orgrimmar in Durotar and a tower outside of Brill in the Tirisfal Glades.

The crew is constantly making repairs to the craft. According to them, under the command of Sky-Captain Cloudkicker and the control of Navigator Fairweather, the zeppelin has crashed repeatedly in a wide array of zones. The undead guards on The Thundercaller simply say "don't ask" when a player speaks to them, possibly hinting that they would still be alive in the traditional sense if they had not signed on with Cloudkicker.

Trivia

• The Thundercaller is by far the most complex flying zeppelin of all the zeppelins in-game.
• If you count the many ways they have crashed, you will find out that it has been 18 times...so far, including:
  • Three times into forests.
  • Four times into the ocean.
  • Once into Teldrassil.
  • Once in the Shimmering Flats after managing to snake through the Thousand Needles.
  • Five times into mountains.
  • Four times into four different lakes, including Lordamere Lake.
• The crewmen tell you that the airship has squeezed through Thunder Bluff twice now! Why they were even going in that direction is unknown.
