The spellstones flavor text are awesome!

Each spellstone's flavor text is a little rhyme, great job, Team5! I guess it is some Lord of the Rings reference

Lesser Amethyst Spellstone

A purple stone Azari carved

For dark hearts, craving, power-starved.

The first to bow, the warlock Rin,

Embraced the darkness, slew her kin.

Lesser Jasper Spellstone 

In ancient woods, elves fought the curse

The demon’s shadow to disperse

But hatred raged and frail souls turned

Now horned and hooved their forests burned.

Lesser Sapphire Spellstone 

A stone of blue, embraced with glee

By murloc lords beneath the sea

Soon numberless they swarmed the shore

First two, then four, then more...and more...

Lesser Emerald Spellstone

An emerald stone for Tauren hands

Who sought its strength to save their lands

Their tribes now lost, their rage released

Who’s hunting now? And who’s the beast?

Lesser Pearl Spellstone

In ages old, when Ancients broke

Azari of the Legion spoke

To tempt the mortals: gems of power

The weak succumbed, their souls devoured.

Lesser Ruby Spellstone

The final stone undid its master

Spun into wards by nameless caster

Azari wailed a savage roar

Now sealed in nether, evermore.

Lesser Mithril Spellstone

To dwarves of stone the demon called

With promises of might, enthralled

In grasping greed they found their doom

Forever bound in mithril tombs.

Lesser Onyx Spellstone

The trolls of old embraced the gift

A jewel of black for daggers swift

No party lasts who finds the stone

Those wielding it soon stand alone.

Lesser Diamond Spellstone

A diamond, white, this stone the eighth

A precious jewel for those of faith

A whispered prayer restores the lost

But none among them know the cost.

    This is a sweet poem. Is this the right order?

    I love these too - one of our analysts, Alex, came up with the idea and then Dave Kosak wrote the poem with a couple of other people pitching in. In order, it's:

    Lesser Mithril Spellstone
