Thank goodness our message got to Lotheluum. Wait, where are the rest of the reinforcements? Surely it is not just you they sent? <Elegael pales as you relay your conversation with Lotheluum.> So the message did not get through. We are in dire straights indeed then. It seems we must handle this on our own. Time is of the essence.

Have you found the Lady's Tear?

Thank you for these. I will be sure to use every feather so their sacrifice will not be in vain.

It deeply saddens me to ask you to kill the young shrieklings, but with the rise in their aggression it is for the best. We can only handle so many emergencies at a time.

<Elegael grimaces at the severed head, but nods curtly.> Thank you, adventurer. No matter how much rage I have within me, it would have been difficult to strike down my own cousin. Do not mourn for him. His ignorance and malice has killed many innocents this day.

Are our brethren's lives truly worth so little to you, Haalien?

Rest your weary bones for a spell.

Can I show you what I have for sale?

So many of us left with nothing more than the clothes on our backs. Any belongings you might recover would be cherished.

Greetings, citizen.

We paladins must earn our place amongst our Forsaken kin each day, lest we be judged as fanatics like the Scarlet Crusade. The light is not simply a tool of our foes, but a conduit for our righteous fury! It is in our devotion to the Dark Lady and the love of our home that we may channel the light to bring justice to our enemies. The Banshee Queen keeps a close eye on us. Let her. She will see that our resolve shall never waver. We are Forsaken!

I am Vol'jin, of the Darkspear. Do you be friend, or enemy?

The construct? It's been wandering around the fields for decades. Since the wind elementals left us, I think. Alvarion suspected that it used to haul harvests to market, or maybe tend to livestock back before this was an orchard. That could have been a thousand years ago though. In the old days, the Windshapers used to maintain these constructs. We've talked about petitioning them to come and take a look at it, but it's never been a pressing concern to us. Mostly we just ignore it these days.

Excellent work. Only good things can happen by eliminating the cult. Hopefully this sends a message that the Nightclaw are not to be trifled with and that our resentments run deep. I suspect you have your work cut out for yourself, taking on the cult. If you gather more ears bring them here.

Windsong Crawler meat is common enough here but it was something of a delicacy on the islands of Anvilas and Siroccas. Was a time, back when the skystreams were open that the locals would mob me for the stuff when I'd make the trip to Shen'dramar or New Eldre'naar. Not been able to visit those places in... well... a long time.

What is that you have for me? Oh... oh no.

I'm sure there are more of these critters around Valanaar, but every enchanted skyhopper we stomp out makes the city just a tiny bit safer.

<Valennia looks gravely wounded.>

<Elegael's face pales as you relay the fate of Jorel and the condition of the rest of the druids.> No... no! This is far worse than I had-- <Elegael chokes back a sob, and grits her teeth letting out a pained snarl.> They will pay. They will ALL pay. Anyone who allies with the Al'aketh will feel my wrath! This I swear.

They were here for the pylon? But to what end? We were not the original reason for their attack? <Elegael trails off shaking with rage as she reads.> They murdered my people because we were an inconvenience! I shall tear apart every cultist with my fangs! I will make sure none leave this place with their lives. Go, swiftly! If the orders truly originated in Valanaar, it means it is likely a traitor hiding there. Give the missive to Lotheluum in Valannar and tell him what has transpired.

We could try and send peacekeepers to directly engage the cult forces, but we would not fare well against them in open battle. We are going to need a different approach.

I'm glad you made it back. That group of Al'Aketh looked like stone cold killers. Thank you for your aid, I'll include your assistance in my report when I return to Valanaar.

Treat the wind rider well as it takes you to your destination. May your ancestors watch over you adventurer.

Praise to the Banshee Queen, it isn't often I have visitors out here.

Which profession?

That trainer can be found in a house near the High Order dock, on the southeastern edge of town.

This here is the finest, most state of the art mode of transportation money can build. What? Deeprun Tram? Gnomes? Listen pal, If you believe that garbage then I've got a statue down in Stranglethorn to sell ya. Now, are you walking to Grom'Gol or are you gonna ride in style in this fine flying machine? Your choice.

My blades don't glisten, glitter, or gleam, and they'll sing no epic songs about my creations when I'm gone. One thing you can be sure of though is that my weapons will cut down all the knights in Stormwind before losing their honed edge.

Your interruption is costing me valuable time, this had better be good.

Do you have that crystal kelp? I'm sure Maybell is anxious to see her beau...

Have you brought something to add to our collection?

Do not waste my time, hero.

You say these are from the mountaineers? Aye, I could use them. Thank you, hero. Hey, you've got the look of an adventurer yourself. How would you like to learn about camping?

You killed it?? Hmmph. Lucky for you this should be enough ichor to reverse engineer its properties. You do not wish to be an enemy of the Royal Apothecary Society. Get out of my sight!

Good day to ye lad. Can I be of service?

I can teach you how to cook!

I can train you in First Aid techniques.

Greetings, traveler.

Why did the Light guide you here today?

This hide isn't ready to work with yet. I wish it didn't take so long to make leather. There has to be some way to cut down on all this waiting. It can't be good for my health, you know?

Reports have come in from the Lordamere Overlook deep within the Ruins of Lordaeron. An unholy fog has taken over the streets and graveyard, affording the scourge up there some measure of stealth. Our scouts indicate they're being conjured by a new power within their ranks, a necromancer known as Rath'mael. We do not have the luxury of waiting this one out, adventurer. If you have allies, summon them and their aid to the Forsaken. Drive this creature out of our lands.

Hello, adventurer! Have you considered taking up a tradeskill? I would be happy to answer any questions you might have, or point you toward the local trainers. If this feels overwhelming, that's okay! You can always return here or visit trainers in capital cities to get started on your crafting journey at any time.

While I have no doubt something of his kind will be replaced, we can only hope their ranks thin in the meantime. Thank you adventurer.

If ye're looking to learn the profession of leatherworking, ye're gonna need to travel to Ironforge. I hear there's a nice shop near the Great Forge where ye can learn the profession.

What do ye need directions to?

Ol' Whitebeard sent ya, aye? I got his report, alright. This whole situation's a mess!

Here to learn about potions? I've got plenty to teach you. I might be dead, but I haven't lost my brains. Yet.

What are you looking for?

Are you here to learn about camping in the wilderness?

I can teach you the finer points of Skeletal Horse Riding, provided you have enough gold to cover the lesson!
