Like us, Dragaerans are good at remembering trivia, particularly trivia that is in their field, so to speak. But remembering precise details of events long past (which for me means events from the last month...) takes a little more effort; thus the strange facial contortions. As for the idea of the Dzur Mountain Storage Device I suggested previously, it's just a pet theory. I like it, but it has no more weight than any other theories regarding Dzur Mountain.
