"Shrine of the Fallen Warrior in World of WarCraft" by René Koiter

Where once a hero set foot on his native soil a monument has risen

Where now part of his essence resides a mystical boon will be given

Upon the monument the runic initials MK have been engraved

To honor all the journeys and battles the fallen one has braved

A hero's enduring spirit transcends many worlds beyond our own

Only those with steadfast dedication find a bond with this unknown

Travel the continents and scour the lands for the shrine standing tall

For in the presence of the monolith the warrior will be with you all.

Trivia

The Shrine of the Fallen Warrior is a memorial to Michel Koiter, a Blizzard employee who died during the development of World of Warcraft. The base of the stone obelisk is engraved with the initials "MK" and the orc is an exact copy of Koiter's beta character: "twincruiser". Floating in front of the Shrine is a spirit healer named Koiter.
