nothing to do but watch the trees and heckle Cer'veja.

So someone pointed out last week that they liked Cer'veja's name. I thought it would be fun if I just point out some jokes in the naming of things.

Cer'veja is derived from Cerveja which google tells me is Portuguese for beer.

Arua is derived from Aura as in the World of Warcraft paliden ability.

Tirea is to be played with as "tiny" Tirea. Because shes short.

And so we see my method for coming up with names is ether shallow smart or deep dumb, you decide.

Veja can be happy that the slang for Troll is "blueberry" and not "blue baboon" as the latter sounds a lot more offensive.

Veja should also be happy at the way he has bulked up since the start of their adventures.

And he found his future waifu. What more could a Troll want?

Don't forget that Tirea also has blue hair, whether or not it's natural and she always carries blue dye with her.

Should have addressed this earlier. But Tirea hair is dyed but with Thousand lands magic dye to keep her hair producing blue pigment. In her family picture when she was young we can actually see Tirea's hair was light brown.

Since you're addressing this, how does hair dye even work for Tauren? Not going into the area of tattoos, but how would Tauren keep the dye from spreading to their face and neck, not to mention their hands?

Yes, I love pestering creators to think about their work.

The catch all gift of magic. But I do consider a difference between hair and fur. Taurens fur is actually kind of short and fine. This is why we don't see a yeti looking Tauren in Gratz. I've also never addressed this but part of Tauren Grooming is to wash fur and brush it. This keeps the fur clean and from getting nappy.

Things are going pretty well for Cer'veja and he's grown up so well.

Tiny Tirea? With not Tinker Tirea?

Cer'veja did drink a lot of beer in the beginning. Probably appropriate. And Arua glows as well.

She missed a golden opportunity, there.

Tinker also work.

Fun detail back with her family pictures she didn't wear it up when she was young, but as she got older she realized she was going to be short. So she started wearing her hair up to look taller.
