Archavon's Log

<It appears Archavon has been keeping a journal. It appears to be written in multiple languages. A tally has been kept on the cover.>

Horde:

Keep Defended: <number>

Keep Captured: <number>

Alliance

Keep Defended: <number>

Keep Captured: <number>

Day 10 The Makers are gone. I have been left to watch.

-Archavon

Day 10500: The Halls are quiet. Empty.

I thought the Makers want me to watch the Hall, but they never specifically said, Archavon, Watch the hall... Maybe it's okay if I watch the outside too? It would probably be less boring outside. It's decided- I am now responsible for watching the Hall AND the outside. I shall take on my new responsibility next month.

-Archavon

Day 20120: The outside is much more open than the Hall. There are convenient cliffs and mountains bordering it. I'm now confident that the Makers meant for me to watch this too. I hope they don't notice that I've only been in the Hall for the first decade.

-Archavon

Day 1051213: I invented a new game today too. It's called "Kick the Revenant". I made it from the front of the keep to the main road today. Before next year, I'm going to try to land it over the river.

-Archavon

Day 2145617: Some little green people came today. I have added them to my watching responsibilities.

-Archavon

Day 2145657: The little green people have built extra buildings here now. More buildings seem good. I think I will speak to them this week and thank them.

-Archavon

Day 214566: I thanked one of the little green people today for the extra buildings. He told me that he'd be bringing more people for me to watch soon- lots of them.

I'm excited to have more things to watch.

-Archavon

Day 214586: The little green people brought a lot of others, pointed them at each other, and then they all started fighting!

I have trimmed my watching responsibilities back to the Hall for safety, but I brought a lot of their baubles with me so that it can maybe be less boring this time.

-Archavon

Day 214620: Things have gotten much worse. I am not sure what the Makers want me to do. I'm trying to stay in my hall, but the violent people come in after me several times a day. They take my baubles.

-Archavon

Day 214701: My brothers are back! It turns out they were sleeping in other closed off halls.

I'm a little mad that they left me alone to do all the watching, but I shared my shinier baubles with them anyway because I'm tired of being alone and attacked all the time.

-Archavon

Day 214760: The violent little people have started attacking my brothers, which is sad. They leave me alone mostly now though, which is not sad.

I think they want the shiny baubles I gave away. I feel guilty.

-Archavon

Compared to the pre-3.3 text, this is a great deal of ambiguity as to when things happened. Between day 10 and 10500 is ~29 years in a 365 day year, but Archavon calls that span a decade in date 20120. Additionally, the last three dates appear to be missing their least significant digit.

Assuming one year is ~365 days, this is a rough breakdown of when events took place:

• 10 -> 5884 y.a.
• 10500 -> 5855 y.a.
• 20120 -> 5829 y.a.
• 1051213 > 3004 y.a.
• 2145617 > 583 days ago
• 2145657 > 1943 days ago
• 214566? > 1940 days ago
• 214586? > 1740 days ago
• 214620? > 1400 days ago
• 214701? > 590 days ago
• 214760? > today

Pre-3.3 contents

Archavon's Log

Day 3613785:

Archavon stop journal. Instead, watch puny little men fight. When they finish, Archavon wake up and see who touch orb fastest. Winners so far:

Horde:

Keep Defended: <number>

Keep Captured: <number>

Alliance:

Keep Defended: <number>

Keep Captured: <number>

Day 3613760:

At night, Archavon sneak out and collect the armor they leave behind. Archavon try to fix. Tough to do.

Day 3613725:

The little people come to Wintergrasp from across the ocean. Fight many times everyday. Archavon watch.

Day 2145617:

Large quakes outside. Little people seem to be busy. Archavon stay in home.

Day 1051213:

Archavon wake up, notice face feel soft. Not important. Go back to sleep.

Day 900500:

Been very boring outside. Archavon go to sleep. Some noises outside. It get cold.

Day 10500:

Archavon think journal boring. Take break.

Day 10:

The Makers Left. Archavon left here to watch.

Assuming that a year is ~365 days long, the following could have taken place:

• According to his log, "Day 1" would have been around 9,900 years before "Day 3,613,785". This is around the time of the Great Sundering.
• Around 9,872 years ago, he took a break.
• Around 7,443 years ago, he heard some "noises" outside. The noises and it getting cold could mean this is when the Great Sundering happened and Northrend moved north.
• Around 7,020 years ago, he felt the effects of the Curse of Flesh.
• Around 4,022 years ago, he felt large quakes outside.
• Around 2 months ago, battles began around Wintergrasp between the Horde and Alliance.
• Around 1 month ago, he started to collect armor scraps on the battlefield.
• Today, he stopped his journal and instead starts counting the win/loss of each faction.
