Ce NPC a été placé par Blizzard en mémoire de Dak Krause, décédé le 22 août 2007 d'une leucémie à l'âge de 28 ans.

Caylee était le personnage qu'il jouait, de la guilde <Boulderfist Heroes> sur le serveur anglophone Boulderfist. Il s'agit de la réplique exacte de son personnage et l'équipement qu'il portait quand il s'est connecté avec sa chasseuse pour la dernière fois. Dusky, qui se trouve à son côté, est également son véritable pet.

On peut toujours voir la fiche armurerie de Caylee : http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Boulderfist&n=Caylee

Elle termine une quête où Alicia lui envoie un poème. Alicia était un compagnon de guilde de Caylee (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Boulderfist&n=Alicia ) et a édité le poème suivant en l'honneur de Dak Krause : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_stand_at_my_grave_and_weep

Alicia's Poem

RIP

Commentaire de LinuxofGB

In Memory of Dak Krause.

RIP

Commentaire de Valoc

Caylee (Dak Krause) was a 28 year old friend in our guild (Boulderfist Heroes) that touched many players hearts. Sadly he died of leukemia on August 22, 2007. He was the type of player that you always looked forward to logging on. The type of player that would always help another. Dak, you are missed by so many. Blizzard truly has a heart of gold for placing his character in the game for all to see with his trusty pet Dusky at his side.

Caylee (Dak Krause), a fallen hero.

Commentaire de adashiel

I hadn't heard of Dak Krause when I picked up Alicia's Poem, but when I saw Caylee on Aldor Rise I knew it had to be a memorial. With her mismatched gear she just looks like a player character; I thought she was one at first. I went looking for her in the Armory, and it really struck me when I found it. Not because of her gear or anything like that. It was the same kind of feeling you get when you walk into the room of someone who is gone, but whose possessions are still where they left them.(##RESPBREAK##)2056##DELIM##adashiel##DELIM##

many people doing Q even dont read what they need to do...
but this Q is not a simple WoW Q... plz read the poem giving u by npc

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, im dont sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,
across Northrend's bright and shining snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,
on Westfall's fields of golden rain.

I am in the morning hush,
of Stranglethorn's jungle, green and lush.

I am in the drums loud and grand,
the thundeorous hooves across Nagrand.

I am the stars warmly gleaming,
over Darnassus softly dreaming.

I am in the birds that sing,
i am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

rest in peace=|

I just found this quest while browsing Stormwind. when i found her at aldor rise i thought she really looked like a player and i read the poem wich made me very sad. so i looked up the info right here and found out.
My condolensces.

Commentaire de Gnowo

Although I never noticed anything related to this story before and I hate the thottbot-alike rain of pointless comment-spam, I would like to ask my fellow Wowhead-members not to downvote every comment on this page for no apparent reason.

Blizzard has put a lot of effort in this all, to honor a (obviously great) player and person and hoping a lot of people would notice their fallen fellow-player. I believe it's only great that people who are touched by this story come to this page to post even the slightest piece of text, to let others know they care.

Why downvoting that to zero and below? It might not be "insightful/funny", but it is a hell and a lot better than the endless flow of comments on a <random mob> page, where people keep spamming the comment pages with "<random mob> can be solo'ed by <random class> using <random possibilities order> and using <random flask/pot/elixir>".

Commentaire de 64755

This is very touching. I would just like to add my respects and condolence's to Dak's family and friends. I know what it's like to lose a loved one as will many of us.

What blizzard have done is a fantastic show of good will and it makes me proud to be a Warcraft player. Just a shame they made the quest Alliance only although I can see why.

Although I never knew him and never played along side him I did my minute /kneel at Dak's character in Aldor today and I hope everyone can find the time to do the same at some point.

May you rest In peace Dak.

This story has truly touched my heart and i have never known, and now will never have the pleasure of knowing, Dak. I, a member of the horde on maelstrom, have made two new macros that i will use everyday. They are macros that pay my respects to a true hero of the World of Warcraft. Dak you will be missed but even though you have departed us in life you will always live forever in this world, the World of Warcraft. You have left your touch upon this game like no one else i know of. To Dak's family and friends i am truly sorry. I will spread the word amongst the ranks of the horde about your loss Dak... you will be remembered by both alliance and horde.

i am thankfull i wounred around in SW keep that lonley day, else i wouldnt have known this inspiring story.

Commentaire de Mysticx

I found the quest because i was wondering around SW waiting for my turn to die several times in AV to come up when i noticed the NPC Alicia showing up on my minimap as a questgiver, i never knew there was a questgiver there, so i went and checked it out, i'm glad my curiosity got the better of me, or i'd never have known about this nice quest, let alone the touching RL-story behind it...

Dak Krause, rest in peace...

I noticed this NPC a week or so ago on Aldor rise, and was a bit curious about the gear selection used by Blizzard. Decided to look her up on Wowhead after noticing there's no special initial interaction with her.

Reading all the details brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.

Dak "Caylee" Krause, may you rest in peace, and may your arrows slay many horde with a 3000 damage Aimed Shot critical hit, in that grand Nagrand Arena in the sky.

If you are Scryer and would like to do this quest, you can fly to Aldor rise and land quite safely next to Kaylee to complete the quest and pay your respects. (you will want to keep an eye out in case a patrol comes through that area)

I doubt it would be possible for someone who does not have a flying mount, but you can do so as soon as you get one.

RIP Dak.

As most of the people here I was walking in Stormwind and then saw Alicia's quest. I read the poem and was already touched by its beauty. Then when I came to Wowhead to learn more about this quest, wondering of its purpose, I read the story about Dak.

It really made me sad. My condolensces to a great hero of Warcraft. Blizzard's kindness is admirable.

I did this quest twice one with my main character and altough I read the poem and find it touching really I did not investigate...
I did it again this mornig with my dwarf hunter and wanted to write down the poem so I looked in wow head and read the history, I am a seasoned man and role player and I cryed for this hero, I registered on wow head just to say to all that we all must pay omage to this hero. And I will any time I will pass by Aldor rise. This is a very beautifl way to remenber a person! Riposa in Pace Dak !

Rest High and in peace. You will never be truly dead because of all the people you have touched even after you left us. Blizzard should really open this quest to all players horde or alliance, aldor or scryer, all should be allowed to do it in order to honor the life and memory of a great player.

My deepest condolences to the friends and relatives of this kindred spirit. To see how many people really do care about the death of a fellow player, regardless of faction, really tugs at the heart. Sorry so many of us could not make the memorial service, or knew at the time of the tragedy.

I accidently saw the quest on minimap when I took the sub from IF to SW. I probably would have never seen it if I hadn't taken the sub. At first I didn't know what this quest was about and just thought it was a beautiful poem. But for some reason I just wanted to do it anyway so I hearthed back to Shatt and managed to talk to the NPC without being caught by guards. The quest just stopped there, making me wonder for more.

I checked here and then google the topic as well. I found Dak's myspace and listened to the music there. I cried.

RIP Dak

Thank you Blizzard for doing this, you deserve my salutation.

I was wandering around SW one day and I came upon this quest. I read the poem and turned in the quest. I thought that it had to have been for somebody. So, I researched it and found out that there was a touching story behind it. It brought tears to my eyes reading it.
RIP Caylee and thank you Blizz.

Commentaire de Arfhip

I know that even though i never met you. And even though i never had the plesure of knowing you. I wont forget that i one day wondered about an odd looking NPC, looked it up in WoWhead and heard an amazing story. A story about an average player who simply enjoyed playing this game. And while playing, made other people enjoy the game even more.

It feels wonderful, although sad passing by this character everyday while going on new adventures with new people who probably is, in some ways, like you. Normal players who enjoys playing. I will always say hello to you everytime i pass by the aldor rise, going down to the elevators. Becouse a simple " Hello " is not a big price to pay. for greeting another player, dead, but non the less. another player.

I've turned in her quest many times, but it was only recently that I learned about the sad story of Caylee Dak.

Now Shattrath is a ghost city as players moved to Northrend to face the Lich King's army, and it is even sadder to see Caylee standing on the abandoned Aldor Tier.

Maybe Blizzard should move her to Dalaran: even though Dak can no longer join his friends in Northrend, her in-game character could move on so she can always be where the action is.

This is just to let you know that if you are Scryer, that ...yes... you CAN still do this quest.

Just hop on your flying mount and fly up over the NPC on the Aldor rise, you can hover above her and click on her to get the completion.

It's very touching that Blizz made this memorial for one of WoW's players. Thanks for doing it.

My condolences to Dak's family and friends. God Bless.

Commentaire de 207575

Blizzard seems to have a history of putting memorials in for players, employees, or friends. So far I've found seven (feel free to point it out if you spot one I've missed).

Caylee Dak and her pet Dusky in Shattrath City (on Aldor Rise and belonging to the Darnassus faction) was the character of Dak Krause, who passed away from leukemia on August 22, 2007. She ends the quest Alicia's Poem.

Ahab Wheathoof and his dog Kyle are the creation of Ezra Chatterton, a young player with cancer who got to spend a day at Blizzard headquarters thanks to the Make A Wish Foundation. He got to create these two NPCs, voice Ahab, and create the quest Kyle's Gone Missing! to go with them, among other things. He passed away in October of 2008 when his tumor, which had been in remission, came back. His main character, Ephoenix, can sometimes (very very rarely) still be seen online on the Norgannon server when his father logs on.

In Hillsbrad there is Rousch, the character of Anthony Ray Stark (yes, real name) who passed away in 2005 in a scuba accident. He has no quest, but he stands in front of a grave marker and will /kneel and /salute it from time to time. He is friendly to both factions.

Koiter is a slightly more complicated memorial. While NPC Koiter uses the Spirit Healer model, behind him is a memorial in a small subzone called the Shrine of the Fallen Warrior in the northern Barrens. Atop the structure is an orc that is a copy of Michel Koiter's character from the WoW beta. He died in 2004 of unknown causes.

Captain Armando O s s e x is a member of the Stormpike Guard in Alterac Mountains. He is apparently a memorial to a deceased player who loved playing AV, but information other than this is scarce. I was unable to find a date of death or whether the patrolling character was a clone of his or not.

Crusader Bridenbrad the Argent Crusader dying of the plague in Icecrown appears to be based off of a real person, Bradford C. Bridenbecker, who died of cancer in 2007. He is involved in a medium-long questline starting with A Tale of Valor, given to you by Tirion Fordring after you've unlocked the Crusaders' Pinnacle. It is speculated that he may be related to a Blizzard programmer.

Again in Hillsbrad is a Decorated Headstone dedicated to Jesse Morales, a Blizzard employee who passed away while WoW was still under development. There was no other information.

What Blizzard should do for this guy. Move him to a more populated place. Its not like Shattrath and Aldor rise is the most crowded at the moment. People like this should never be forgotten. He seemed like the guy who would do anything for anyone. To few people like that in this game. And the few people we have that are/have been like that needs to be remembered.

Who would have thought, that there will be so many honor, in a simple game like that. And by honor, I do not mean the one you get from killing enemy players, I mean REAL honor, that touches your heart, and stays in your memory.

I started from the memorial of Koiter, and I ended up reading stories, that put pain in my chest. I have played this game from around 7 years, and had no idea that there is so deep meaning in simple things like that. Which leads me to an idea, that will ease my pain, and most likely the pain of others.

On each of their respective birthdays, and the days that all of them have died, aswell during the Day Of The Dead, I will go to all of their memorials, and give respect to their deaths. I will bring along friends, and tell them who those people are, and how they died. It will be good from all of you, to do the same. Because, when few words are spoken, or wrote on a small piece of paper, they with ease fade into the abyss of time, but, when many, many words are wrote, they become a book, and a book, can be passed down with centuries and milleniums. We, the people that respect those who have died, are the words. Let us find more people, and make a whole book with them, so the honor of those who have died, be remembered for as long as possible.

Let us now bow and kneel to the dead ones, because, no one shall escape from that, be it king, or be it simple harvester. I will post this around, and make more people see this. Let us do something, that we can be proud of, let us show to the families and close friends, that we, the ones that play this game, care a lot.

P.S. : Message created by DarkTroll, a Private Server player, that cannot effort to play in Retail. One Must Die To Be Reborn, those have died, and shall be reborn, by this memorial. When titles, races, sides, weapons and armors are removed, we are all just mortal people.

I logged on an Alt Mage of mine for the first time in nearly a month, noticed he had this quest, didn't bother reading through it to find out that she's on Aldor Rise, and had joined the Scryers, came here to look her up and thought to myself "Oh crap, the Aldor are gonna kick me outta town if they catch me delivering this!" then flew over to her thinking maybe there wouldn't be any Aldor troops nearby, and, thankfully, she was standing there with her cat, not an Aldor within' tossing distance. So, if you are Scryer and have this quest, don't worry about flying up to get the poem to Caylee Dak! ;-)

When I stumbled upon this quest in Stormwind Keep, I thought it was one of those rare quests that players tend to overlook or bypass - like the Icecrown quest chain that requires you to fly all over Azeroth in search of a cure for Crusader Bridenbrad: http://www.wowhead.com/quest=13068.

As it turns out, it was one of those quests, but not in the way I thought it would be. There are no special rewards (the quest pays about 37 silver), and I don't believe completing the quest counts toward any of the Loremaster achievements. It's simply a homage to a fellow player. The spooky thing is, Caylee Dak looks exactly like adashiel described him: a player frozen in time.
Some players may choose to skip over this quest, but I think it's well worth it to fly out to Shatt and give a /salute to Caylee and Dusty.

Caylee Dak will read the poem to you if you return to her and ask even after doing the poem quest..

Commentaire de Chundermark

As most other players here have stated, this is a really touching story, may Caylee Dak Krause rest in peace for ever.

It's always so sad when you hear about kind-hearted player's passing away. Seems like stuff like this never happens to those who deserve it...

In WoW; Shattrath City is my chosen home on every character, and sometimes, if I'm just feeling a bit down or lonely, or even maybe just a bit bored, I'll just go and sit next to the Caylee Dak NPC. Somehow, it kinda makes you feel a bit better.

R.I.P dude.

I never finished the questline so I could keep the Poem,
it's been buried in my vault for years now
along with a few other very touching memories.

R.I.P Dak
May your afterlife be adventurous!

I didn't know Dak, he passed before i started playing wow but i did just run across his memorial NPC and had to look it up.
it sounded like Dak was a good player, guildie, raider, friend ect.
the world will forever miss you, friend.
Rest in Peace

P.S.
i'm making the rounds to other memorial NPC pages to pay my respects

I never knew you Dak, but you have done more in a lifetime to inspire people than most people ever will. I'm motivated because of you to help others when I can. Nothing on this earth is forever. Good job and thanks!

Commentaire de GrahamRhoads

I just hit 80 on my rogue and was about to begin the Cataclysm Expansion quest line, and ran across this little girl right next to the portal to Moonglade. Intrigued by the the apparent randomness of her placement and quest I looked up the quest on wowhead and was quickly reduced to tears. I am writing this while my gryphon is traveling to Shattrath City and will complete it asap as tribute to a fellow wow player. The world is greatly diminished without you, friend.

:( i was trying hard not to cry, then i went searching more about this story, and when i read the following text, i couldnt resist anymore:

The NPC is standing at the exact point where Dak Krause logged out for the last time

Commentaire de Noritam

For Friends, Family, and Guild Members of Dak Krause, Caylee Dak, my condolences.

I'm gearing up my new Demon Hunter in preparation for the launch of Legion.

Found the Alicia's Poem quest while running around Stormwind and seeing as how I needed to head to Shat to get my Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole I figured, hey, why not?

So today, August 12, 2016, almost 9 years since Dak's passing, I am learning of his story, and his contribution to WoW.

I am also a mother of a young person who is sick, which is why I am playing this game.

Dak's story has touched me deeply, I will always stop to pay my respects and pet Dusky.

ok now i have cried again..... so touching... like the feed the dog quest in the starter area for the taurens....

Commentaire de dramoth1964

Everytime I get a character to Outlands, I do this quest... and after asking Caylee to read the poem again, I salute her!

Commentaire de Sheetuska

And still, at end of 2019 there are players like me, who go to her and pay respect to the player behind the character. Hit a like, if you just did the same.

This must have been the "old" Blizzard. I have survived Cancer twice and it really likes me as it has come back again. I have devoted / wasted? /given 23 years of my life to Blizzard and with a few breaks due to illness have never given up on them and moved to other franchises.

My son was introduced to gaming as something we could do together in 1997 at the ripe old age of 9 and we have played together ever since.... barring the periods where I have been too ill to play.
I have been told that I cannot bequeath my son my account as "accounts are not transferable" My son plays anywhere between 4 and 24 hours a day and giving him my account would mean that we are still together for as long as he plays.

However the "new" Blizzard could not give a damn. Their behavior towards current players, professional (e.g. Blitzchung) and amateur (New Hearthstone - really?) lately has been despicable. They treat their old loyal players like dirt and only care about bringing in new players.

We can be proud of the devotion of the old Blizzard to their loyal players.... there is nothing honorable or worth being proud of with the new regime!

Yet I still pay Blizzard every month and keep playing their offerings as it is still something my son and I can share.... I am beyond angry, upset, disappointed, f'ed off, etc. that they will not allow a parent to have their account transferred to their child on their death.... The Old Guard at Blizzard must be devastated and be hanging their heads in shame at what their originally beautiful company has been turned into!

It's been 15 years yet I always come back from time to time, just to pay my respects.
