| abstract | - Shortly after the end of the last war a Kaldorei hunter by the name of Stormwolf, conscious that the world he had known for such a long time had changed beyond recognition with the death of the world tree, began to walk the land on a pilgrimage of discovery. During his travels he became friends with others who shared his thirst for knowledge and so what started as a very personal journey of mind, body and spirit became the shared goal of a small band: to cross all the lands of the world learning its secrets, and so The Travellers were born. Following the crash landing of the Exodar and the re-opening of the Dark Portal, The Travellers found new friends among the ranks of the Draenei and a strange new world to investigate. One Draenei in particular rose to prominence within the group, a shaman called Sanastar D'Arellien. Sanastar and Stormwolf became fast friends and would delight in exchanging tales of their respective homeworlds, and so, when an old wound forced Stormwolf to rest from his travels for a time, it was Sanastar that he named as his successor and the new Grand Explorer, the title held by the head of the guild. Under Sanastar D'Arellien, The Travellers grew from a small band of explorers to a vibrant community of nearly two hundred members, capable of staging expeditions to the farthest reaches of Outland and soon, it is hoped, making its first journey to the frozen wastes of Northrend on board its mighty flagship, "The Traveller," an Orcish destroyer that was sunk towards the end of the second war. Discovered by Master Voyager Vavaia while on a diving trip, the wreck was raised from the ocean floor with floatation devices designed by Sanastar, a keen engineer. The guild lovingly repaired, restored and refitted the old ship, hired a crew and anchored their new flagship in a secluded bay in Lordaeron. The Guild meets there on a weekly basis to discuss new discoveries and plan new adventures for The Travellers.
