Either marketing hasn't hit that new low yet, or I need more coffee

You have to go to the far northeast corner of the main Azuremyst Isle. There's a section of land there that scarred by burns and has a lot of fire elementals there. The big elemental there gives you the quest to get your fire totem.
Hope this helps!
Draenei have left the Exodar!

but I don't know why everyone was so anxious to race out of the new lands. The music and surroundings are surreal and it makes me wonder why people would rush back to what's familiar when there is entirely new content to explore.

Sep 9th 2006 2:06PM Personally, I'm going to go out on a very shaky limb here, but frankly, I believe in the principle of First-Sale rights. Once I've bought something, it's mine. I own it, and I can see fit to do with it as I please.
If I buy a book RL, I'm free to read it, to write over it, or to burn it among other things.
If I buy a CD, I'm free to listen to it, to write all over it, or burn it among other things.
If I buy a texture ingame, I'm free to use it, to write all over it, or to burn it among other things.
This is not stealing, nor shall it ever be. This is Fair Use and is completely protected by US law (which inherantly governs SL). I've personally ripped hundreds, if not thousands, of textures out of SL for my own personal curiousity and use. (No, I'm not going to tell you whose work I've taken.)
The world of SL is very much like the internet, and I'm tired of all these primadonna creators crying theft and misuse when you don't pay them for everything. Well, I hate to tell everyone this big secret, but anything in SL can be recreated and taken as your own. Every texture can be taken out and remade. Every prim can be recreated. Nothing is 100% safe, and it never will be. That's the way Second Life was made.
I make a point of buying people's creations that are worth it, but content creators need to know that once I buy it, it's mine. I own it, and I will continue to feel free to use it, write all over it, put eyeliner on it, or burn it among other things.
It's the world we live in, and it's perfectly legal. Deal with it.
