Love is in the Air

A MYSTERIOUS AND DARK SECRET
Love may be in the air, but be cautious, as the season’s spreading joy seems to have nefarious undertones. Recently, a strange “love sickness” has clouded the hearts of many of Azeroth’s people—is this widespread incident simply an outbreak of amore, or will you and your fellow brave adventurers uncover a dark secret behind this plague of passion?

Event Location
Visit Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Shattrath, Dalaran, Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar or Undercity to join in the festivities.

Defeat the evil Apothecary Hummel and his henchmen, thwart their evil schemes to take the world over, and then celebrate with your loved one(s) in lovely outfits!
