End It Movement

Hello everyone,

This post is going to be a little unorthodox but it is for a good cause. It is about slavery in modern day times. It is more common than most people think and it needs to be stopped. Here are a few facts in a brief  paragraph. 

In the ancient times slavery was something that was not uncommon. It could be found all over the world. As time progressed, people started to see that it was not humane to have forced slavery. While this did cause an impact, it wasn't enough to totally end slavery. The U.S. is one of the more famous countries to have slavery. It was the cause to the Civil War which caused countless deaths over a subject that was wrong. The U.S. ended slavery eventually, but I’m sure it would surprise some of you if I said that slavery is the second largest organized crime in the world. As of now there are 27,000,000 slaves worldwide. That is enough people to go around the world once if they held hands. That is the current population of Texas, the second largest state in the U.S.  Currently, there are 60,100 slaves in America.  On a global scale, there are 167 countries that have slavery. This is 85% of the countries in the world! We need to stop slavery. We thought that it was an ancient problem that doesn't exist anymore, but the fact is that it is still extant. Slavery is more of a problem now that it ever was and it has to end.

The Vicious Worgens

The Worgens are any teenage girl's definition of a werewolf. Normally werewolves are caught in a love story, but the story of the worgens is a bit more tragic. They used to all be humans but then a curse spread through the land and they became infected. This curse turned them into half-man and half-wolf. Most people didn't understand what was going on so they retaliated against their own kind. This was until everyone had pretty much been cursed, including their leader, Genn Greymane. The worgen race was included with the Cataclysm expansion and therefore not only do you start with the city being plagued by the curse but it is also being destroyed. As you progress you constantly have to keep moving from place to place because everything is falling into the sea. The capital city of the Worgens used to be Gilneas, but their home was destroyed. Now they make their home in the Night Elven capital of Darnassus. The Night Elves took pity on them and excepted them into their homes seeing that they had no where else to go. The designs of the worgen models are okay. The male model is great. It looks vicious and cunning in nature. The female form of the worgen is not so great. You don't perceive that viciousness from them. I saw one picture that compared their face to a chihuahua and let me say that they weren't that far off. I kinda wish that they would update the female model to make it look more frightening. The worgens are probably number three on my favorite race list. The classes they can choose are diverse. They can be magi, priests, warriors, druids, hunters, death knights, rogues, and warlocks. The racial abilities for the worgens are:

The Mighty Dwarves of Ironforge

The Dwarves of Ironforge are the typical picture of a dwarf if it is from the realm of J.R.R. Tolkien. Dwarves, in my opinion are built like tanks. They are short but with that shortness comes a very sturdy build. They are resilient just like most of the other things that are connected to them. Dwarves are also very foolhardy and a bit rowdy but they make for a good crowd. They are also brave and courageous with the will, determination, stubbornness that makes them a great ally. The Dwarves are sided with the Alliance and their Capital City is Ironforge. Like the dwarves, Ironforge is a strong and magnificent city. It is carved into a mountain in the center of Khaz Modan. This is just like the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor form J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. If you haven't noticed, I am a huge Tolkien fan/nerd and I think this deserves a little back story. In Middle Earth, there are many races of beings. There are Humans, Elves, Hobbits, Dwarves, Wizards (only five exist), Goblins, and Orcs. There were seven dwarf kingdoms in Middle Earth. The greatest of them all was Erebor. Erebor was the wealthiest kindom in all of Middle Earth. It was carved into the heart of a mountain and it went miles deep into the earth. Sometimes I wonder if the WOW creators got the inspiration for Ironforge from Erebor. If you have seen The Hobbit movies and if you play WOW and have seen Ironforge, then you would know what I am talking about. The head of the Dwarf race is a triumvirate of sorts. There are three clans and there is one leader from each clan. Dwarves are my third favorite race because of Tolkien and because of Ironforge. I love how it provides a feeling of protection because you feel safe and welcome inside the mountain. That and also because of the giant iron door at the entrance that not event the most powerful mage could break. The special abilities for the dwarves are:

• StoneForm: This is an ability that turns the dwarf into a stone form that rids the character of any poisons and other harmful effects and provides natural armor.
• Frost Resistance: Dwarves have a natural resistance to frost damage. Just look at where they live and you'll know why. 
• Explorer: Dwarves have an increase in the skill of archaeology. 
• Might of the Mountain: Dwarves are very tough both in battle and in nature so they have a natural increase in critical strike. 

Clever Gnomes

The appearance of Gnomes are just as you would expect it to be. The only difference is that they can be deadly. Gnomes are very clever and are the most technologically advanced races in the Alliance besides the Dwarves. The leader of the gnomes is High Tinker Mekkatorque and the capital city is a little bit hard to determine. The Gnomes first capital city is New Tinkertown, but with the destruction of the city the Gnomes found refuge in Ironforge. This is the capital city of the Dwarves. With the new expansions, the Gnomes are found to have been ousted from Ironforge. They are currently trying to regain their lost land. Gnomes can be Mages, Monks, Death Knights, Priests, Rogues, Warlocks, and Warriors. The special racial abilities and perks are:

• Arcane Resistance. This is a resistance to arcane damage of 1%.
• Engineering Specialization. Engineering skill is increased by 15. It make sense that they benefit from this because of their infatuation with tinkering and building things. 
• Escape Artist. Gnomes have the ability to escape any movement impairing effects or speed reduction effects. It is obvious that they are able to do this because of their short stature. 
• Expansive Mind. Maximum resource increased by 5%. Which means that the mana is increased by 5%. As a reminder, mana is the resource for all magical abilities and spells. 
• Nimble Fingers. Haste increased by 1%. Haste increases attack speed and casting time for spells. 

Humans of the Alliance

The humans are the leading race for the Alliance faction. Their capital city is Stormwind City and their king is Varian Wrynn. As leader of the human race, he is therefore the leader of the Alliance. Humans can be many different classes. Every option is available except for druids, shamans. In my opinion I personally do not like to play as a human because I find it boring. Why play as a human when you already are one. Again this is just my opinion. Every race comes with certain benefits. The human race benefits are:

• 10% increase in reputation gains. So that means that if you were trying to earn a higher level of reputation with a race it would be a bit easier with the human race. 
• Every Man For Himself. This is a racial ability that removes all movement impairing effects. 
• The Human Spirit. Versatility increased by 100. Versatility gives a boost to heals, damage, etc.
