Matthew Rossi

Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.

I like going back to Darnassus on my Nelf Warrior from time to time and imagining how completely boring she finds the place. Plus, it’s a brand new city by Night Elf standards. I mean, they just grew that giant tree after the Third War. It’s not like she (or any Nigh Elves, really) grew up there or anything, the buildings are either new construction or likely ruins that were off the coast of Kalimdor and raised by Nordrassil when it grew. Considering my Warrior is neither a Druid or a Priest, I get the feeling she views the city as a memorial to the Third War more than an actual home.

But it’s pretty and there are other Night Elves there, so heck, why not visit when she gets homesick?
