Grizzly Hills is a wonderful area in Northrend and it can be quite inspiring for someone like me who likes to take things further and imagine even more.

Here is my first machinima, based on a Romanian song named “Amintire cu Haiduci” (Outlaw Memory) by Vali Sterian. Even though the song it’s in Romanian, I know this web site has many Romanian viewers so this post is mostly aimed at them :)

For the other readers, in Romanian history, centuries ago, there were bands of highwaymen or outlaws (hajduks), somewhat like Robin Hood, who hid in the forests and mountains to strike upon the rich, usually the occupying Turks or invading Tatars, plunder their wagons and wealth to give it to the poor. Thus we have many legends and songs about famous outlaws, some which existed and others who are just fantasy. This machinima is about them, a memory of a distant past.

later edit - I have problems embeding the movie in the page, it seems the editor doesn’t allow that kind of code, so you’ll have to click the link :/

Done with Grizzly Hills too. Pretty easy map with a smaller number of quests to complete for the Achievement “Fo’ Grizzle my Shizzle” (Snoop Dogg anyone?), only 85. In case anyone is wondering, the blue question marked quests (PvP) can be skipped and you still have about 90-92 quests to do. I didn`t do the PvP quests, I`ll probably complete them at 80 for more gold.

Grizzly Hills is a nice forest filled with wildlife, giants, dwarves, the vrykul people and trolls. I didn`t find anything special on this map but I did like the Silverbrook story (they hide a dark secret) and the daily quest that involves burning mindless troll zombies at Drak’Tharon.
