Thom appears to absentmindedly rub his hands together as he looks at you.

Welcome to the Calmbreeze Inn, traveler. Would you like some refreshment?

Ah, you are back. I hope your adventures have given you a sense of the scale and wonder of our world. I know it must seem overwhelming to you, but if you are to help your people, you must be prepared for whatever may come your way while you are on Azeroth. While you wait for your order to establish itself in Dalaran, I suggest you turn your attention to the lands around Stormwind. Westfall in particular can always use more strong adventurers to lend them aid, if you are willing.

So, you wish to embrace the way of the claw, child? Very well. Let us speak.

You're the one that the Cenarion Circle in Moonglade sent? That's wonderful! We've quite the crisis our hands here regarding the poor deer, and we're happy for all the help we can get. Do you have the sample of water that Dendrite Starblaze said you'd have? He notified me that you'd draw one so we could work on a cure together...

The Peacekeepers can't hope to muster the numbers needed for an outright assault on the shrine. Without the Windshapers and the High Order bolstering our numbers, we stand no chance. They both pledged their aid when we need it. Now is the time. Unfortunately some recent events have led to outright bloodshed between the two factions, and tensions are high. How do you feel about a bit of diplomacy?

These Dark Irons may be our cousins but they ain't family, that's for sure. I shed no tears for any misfortune that befalls them that stray too far from that accursed mountain o' theirs. Hopefully this is enough to put 'em off of further incursions into these lands.

I see. This seems dangerous in the extreme, but the situation seems to demand that risks be taken. Very well, the High Order will provide aid. Please inform Valennia that she can count on us for this fight.

I can teach you to craft fine leather armor, if you have the aptitude.

I've been begging Stormwind for aid for months and he sends me a skinny elf? Well, beggars can't be choosers I suppose. Welcome to Westfall, hero. Let's see if we can't put you to work.

Look at you, as brave as you are enterprising! I'm a gnome of my word, and your reward is well earned! Now, let me take a look at the haul--uh, I mean... the recovered heirlooms. I need to get started appraising--excuse me, 'cataloging' them so that they can be put back in their proper places as quickly as possible.

For the first time in nearly three thousand years, the disparate nations of Arathor were once again united under a common banner. Appointed as Supreme Commander of the Alliance forces, Lord Lothar prepared his armies for the coming of the Horde.

H-Hello. You'll have to excuse me, I'm used to your kind running from me.

What do you need directions to?

"The skyseer elders among the Windshapers, by contrast, place implicit trust in the wind spirits and regard any questioning of their designs as an affront to our benefactors. They hold that our patrons in Skywall have already sacrificed much to bring us here and sustain us. They assert that if any further knowledge was vital to our survival, they would surely reveal it in due course. This difference in belief has given rise to no small measure of tension between the two orders. Whatever the truth may be, it is plain that we are not alone in this realm, and that many mysteries yet remain beyond our present understanding."

Rorian has told me much of you. I am likely unknown to you, but I am a member of the Council of Elders here on Zephras Isle. I've come to read the flow of the winds here in Thendal Grove. I'm also here to assess young shen'dorei such as yourself that are coming of age. So tell me, are you ready to take your next step? Are you ready to serve Zephras Isle?

I sell only the finest arcane gear, made by the crafters and mages here in the city of Stormwind.

<Before you lies an skyborne; his body is mangled and bruised but still recognizable. It is clear he met a gruesome end while attempting to flee. It appears that all of his belongings are still on his body, and a half filled crate nearby lays spilled on the ground.>

Just browsing my wares or is there something specific I can help you find today?

Ten thousand years before the orcs and humans clashed in their First War, the world of Azeroth cradled only one massive continent surrounded by the infinite, raging seas. That land mass, known as Kalimdor, was home to a number of disparate races and creatures, all vying for survival amongst the savage elements of the waking world. At the dark continent's center was a mysterious lake of incandescent energies.

Which profession trainer would ye be looking for?

The High Order are currently accepting donations for wool cloth. A donation of sixty pieces of wool cloth will net you full recognition by the High Order for your generous actions. Sixty pieces of wool should prove to be a sufficient amount for the High Order's needs for now. If you have the sixty pieces of wool cloth on you and are ready to donate them, I'm able to take them from you now.

Did you get the fishing supplies?

The Wildhammer dwarves might have fast steeds, but can those Aerie Peak gryphons stand the heat of The Great Forge? I think not!

Ah I see that you have already mastered the form of the Bear. Good, good. You are well on your way, young druid.

Thank you, stranger! You'll find that these are delicious once roasted! Please excuse me, it won't take me long to whip this up.

And so it continues, Father Cenarius. Dendrite makes a quick, invisible gesture in the air above him. A slight aura of power falls over him. Greetings again, adventurer. It is time for you to learn the next perspective of nature: the cat. I will put you on the path to understanding this aspect of druidic life, but much like the bear, it is you that must embrace this learning and propagate it.

The Windshapers are almost wholly to blame for everything that has happened. Their refusal to change has damaged our ability to save ourselves from our current peril. They speak in absolutes and treat assumptions and superstitious hope as fact. Do you know who else deals only absolutes? The Al'Aketh. I for one do not intend to let blind adherence to dangerous beliefs doom our people. If it weren't for the threat of the cult, I'd march our mages over to the other side of Valnaar and wipe the Windshapers out.

After you've become acquainted with the other leaders of the alliance, Lord Fordragon has requested that you report back to him here in the keep. I wish you good fortune in your journeys, Skyborne.

Oh what's this, then?

The Windfield Orchard has seen better days...

These are them! Some of them even smell exotic! Fantastic, I can't wait for us to have lively conversations about these writings. Cellar after hours, of course. Thanks for the quick errand run, adventurer. As promised, it's on the house. We keep our word here.

It is vital that we learn more about what the cult is planning, and with the turncoat dead the information may have died with him...

Rorian sent you? Good. I could use your aid.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear, pledge. In order to prove your worth as a servant to The People's Militia and to the Light you need to slay 15 Defias Trappers and 15 Defias Smugglers then return to me when the deed is done.

A Dark Iron incursion--right beneath our feet? Well, I'm relieved to hear that the Dark Iron commander has been dispatched. The guards will head in and clean up the rest of the rabble. We'll see to it that the breaches are sealed and the lower levels reinforced to ensure that no further incursions are possible. Thank ye for yer service to Ironforge, mage. Take this as a small token of my gratitude. Oh, and if ye see that old Wildhammer rockhugger Farsen again, tell 'em to pay me a proper visit.

This is good, adventurer, so much so that it should be enough to make some ample doses of the salve - at least enough to start to make a difference. Making a cure for poisons can be quite difficult at times because each one often requires a very specific antidote to counteract it. Imagine being able to cure a poison at will without having to worry about the exact ingredients of what the antidote must be! Now, let me get to work on this!

"Whatever the truth may be, our benefactors clearly have no wish to speak of Al'Akir or his servants, and they are quick to dismiss all rumors of the Windlord's presence as idle fancy, unworthy of serious heed. They assure us that we need not trouble ourselves with such matters here, safe upon our Skyborne Isles. While this offers solemn comfort to many, it also raises a troubling question: what, precisely, are the wind spirits concealing from us?"

That turncoat risked everything to escape the cult and bring us this crystal...

Where is it ye would like to go lad? For just a few coin my Gryphons can get ye there faster than even the swiftest horse.

I don't get too many cooks in here looking for training, but I guess I could teach you something if you're ready.

My hair clip! I thought this was lost for good! This'll shine right up with just a little work. Thank you for bringing it to me! I'll make it worth your while.

Are you a student of the medical sciences?

<Valennia is severely wounded and is barely holding on to consciousness.>

Flowers and seeds and such? That would be Reyna Stonebranch's area of expertise. Ye can find her tending to her plants over at the Ironforge Physician on the southern side of The Great Forge.

Judging by this map, it certainly looks like these Dark Irons are planning some sort of incursion into the vaults beneath Ironforge. The band ye busted up to the east must be a scouting force. Thank ye for bringing me this. If we hurry, we might be able to beat them to whatever their goal is down there.

I hope that your interruption is for a good cause, I was in the middle of some important work.

Though the rebellion had been quelled, the Horde was unable to recoup the terrible losses it had suffered. Gul'dan's betrayal had afforded the Alliance not only hope, but also time to regroup and retaliate.

Great timing! Caught a big one with my last bait. Great day so far. They're really biting out here! Tell you what, since you were kind enough to keep this old man in business how about a few fish for the road?
