Many orphans wish they had someone special to show them the wonders of the world. Thought the year, they often spend their time wandering around their home cities of Stormwind or Orgrimmar, dreaming of the day they’ll be old enough (and big enough) to go out into the world to seek the adventures and sights they’ve missed as a child.

During Children’s Week, the giving souls of the Horde and Alliance can help make those dreams true.

Visit Famous Landmarks: Talk to either Orphan Matron Nightingale in Stormwind (Alliance) or Orphan Matron Battlewail in Orgrimmar (Horde) to pick up a new little buddy you can guide around Azeroth and Outland.

Achievements! Earn many fun achievements while traveling around the world with your orphan by your side.

Showing your orphaned child around can be beneficial to you and the child. Once you’ve completed the various quests associated with this event, you’ll have a choice of several pets to add to your Battle Pet collection:

Orgrimmar/Stormwind: Whiskers the Rat, Speedy, Scooter the Snail, Mr. Wiggles

Shattrath: Egbert, Peanut, Willy, Legs

Dalaran (Northrend): Curious Oracle Hatchling, Curious Wolvar Pup

If you’ve collected all of these pets through the years you will be rewarded with the Pet Care Package instead which provides a variety of items including pug costumes, Magical Pet Biscuit, and a Flawless Battle-Stone.
