Day 3 after the celebration of the New Year
I don't know why this strikes me as funny, but everywhere I look in the inns and buildings there are portraits on the walls of the Undercity, and of Lordaeron. I even saw one on the wall of those strange windmills they used to employ on the farms.
Even the Forsaken seem to need their familiar sights and sounds around them. For some reason I thought them beyond sentimentality.
~Addendum~
I asked later today about the purpose of the paintings and was advised that they were brought along to "create a semblance of humanity".
When I appeared to be comforted by this thought I was quickly assured that it was not out of any need to have them there, but to make their visitors more comfortable. Everything else about them would seem alien, so they bothered to include furniture and paintings on the walls for those of us that were familiar with human settlements.
I'm somewhat sorry I asked. I liked my romantic notion of sentimentality more.
