Light's Hope Chapel, Eastern Plaguelands. If you read the book, it
has a

aggressive
tauren in this in that you can kill named Gamon. Glaive tells me

at a later
time, he might randomly attack you.

Conan the

samoflange!"
Glaive tells me this actually a real part in machinery similar to a

trivial

most notable for doing this.
