Meet Starmane

A Tabard Between Brothers

Lïr repays one brother, crosses two impossible cities, and carries a small act of fellowship through Ashenvale—until a familiar tabard finally reaches the druid for whom it was meant.

I · A Favor Returned

Seven-panel, gold-framed fantasy comic page. Night elf paladin Lïr receives crafting materials and a loving note from Thrïr, joins Axis in a violet-lit vault, examines a moss-green cinch won in Blackfathom, asks an Orgrimmar grunt for a better route, slips through a shadowed district, encounters a burst of holy Light, then enchants a curved blade to repay Thrïr.
