Kalimdor Continent, Eternal Night Palace.
The imperial officials passing by were astonished to discover that a strange, enormous ornament had appeared in the center of White Jade Plaza. It also seemed to be a sculpture made of steel.
According to His Majesty the Divine Emperor, this strange black hunk of iron was called a Maus tank.
Oh, so this thing was a tank!
Tanks could look like this?
The Empire's tanks all took the form of mechanical spiders, moving nimbly on four mechanical legs.
This Maus tank had no mechanical legs, only two rows of heavy iron wheels wrapped in long sheets of metal called tracks.
After asking around, everyone learned that this thing had been brought back a few days ago when His Majesty had gone off fooling around with that rascal Sargeras. Apparently, His Majesty treated it like a treasure.
Today he polished the tracks; tomorrow he maintained the parts, treating it like a Goblin motorcycle in need of upkeep.
Except other people had private motorcycles, while His Majesty the Divine Emperor had a private tank.
As for artistic appeal, with elven aesthetics, they truly could not see what was artistic or beautiful about this Maus tank. Its sharp, angular shape simply did not inspire any interest.
"That hunk of iron is the trophy you brought back after going out fooling around with that bastard Sargeras? Do you have any taste at all? It's hideous!"
Elune's avatar lounged comfortably on a sofa in the side hall, with a plate of large Ashenvale strawberries before her, continuously popping them into her mouth.
"You people are the ones with no taste! That little darling is beautiful. You women just don't understand a man's romance at all!"
"Ugly! It's just ugly! Those mechanical spiders look far better than it!"
