Blessing of the Tides

Choose a name for the new vessel, then witness Brother Pike's blessing.

• Vessel named
• Vessel blessed

Dorian certainly lives up to her reputation,.

This magnificent vessel is complete and now it has a crew. Two pieces remain.

First, we must give the ship a name.

Then it falls to Brother Pike to bless this vessel. As is tradition, a tidesage's blessing fortifies the ship against storms and encourages fair weather and smooth seas. It is as much ceremonial as it is practical.

Once that is done, we will set sail for Stormwind.

You will receive:

• 8,950 XP

I chose you for this honor to thank you for all you have done for my people, and all that you have done for me.

It has been so long since I have seen such a rite performed. I was only a child.

It means a great deal to me to have had your help in this. Thank you.
