In World of Warcraft, there is a horde side quest, "Dwarf Fortress" to blow up a dwarven fortress in the barrens. To do so, you need the plans. The fortress architect, one Haggis Boatmurder, has the plans in his office. The Bael'dun Fortress Schematics have the following flavor text: "A schematic of the fortress using primitive icons to depict essential structures."

I don't believe you, do you have screenshots?

It is my point of opinion that blizzard is evil, on that basis that they only appear in evil glaciers, and therefor the reference must be to another game, that in itself was making reference to a third game, that was making reference to Dwarf Fortress. Similaritys just filtered down.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU, LALALALA!

The database does not lie.

Did you find those pages by searching for them?

No, I played the game. The changed world is great, not so much 'collect 10 bear asses' quests and more actual storylines.
Heresy I know, that somebody can enjoy a mindless time sink game alongside Dwarf Fortress.

Yeah but how did you find those pages on the Wowhead site.   I assume you used some sort of search function.

There's a search bar on the top right of all the pages.

Our friend Capntastic is attempting to advise you on the use of our forum's search function, as there is a preexisting thread discussing this topic which a search would have unearthed. He has opted to deliver this advice in a rather roundabout and somewhat unhelpful manner.

I looked back 4 pages for it, and that's some other reference which I haven't seen.
So I guess there's more than one.

Actually, there was a thread older than that one which eventually covered both references.

Well, I looked back a few days worth of posts, since these only appeared on the live servers on tuesday, and was satisfied. I guess I didn't consider that somebody here might have been in the beta.

You say it's unhelpful but the thread title promised me a funny story and dagnabbit, I'm here to get what I'm due.

Well, right after I did the quest a level 80 gnome warrior ran out from nowhere and killed me, then killed me again when I resurrected.
Is that funny?

In what manner was your demise inflicted?
