Chapter 4
Campaign Update

An urgent briefing turned into a heated debate in Hearthglen this week.

The Argent Crusade briefed the group of heroes on the Scourge advancement and their current level of power as well as the threat they pose to all of Azeroth. It is decided that the time to be on the defensive is over, and the group must confront the three Scourge commanders in Northrend.

Intelligence reports suggest two paths to Icecrown.

  • To the east, passage through Grizzly Hills seems to be fairly free of undead activity, and would provide the quickest way to Icecrown, where it is rumoured that more Necropoli are being built.

  • To the west, the magi of Amber Ledge have sent out a distress call, indicating that the entire region is overrun with Scourge, and their outpost is on the brink of falling. If this path is chosen, the Scourge would be confronted directly immediately, yet there is a possibility the magi will have knowledge that will help our heroes defeat the undead forces.

After both plans were discussed, a vote was held, and by a final result of 8 to 7, it was seemingly decided to begin the journey in Borrean Tundry and come to the aid of Amber Ledge.

However, two groups were absent from the meeting: The Wolfmane Tribe, and the Duskwatch Sabreguard. These two orders have been staunch allies, and it has been decreed that they shall be contacted and given the chance to have their voices heard.

In the meantime, preparations are under way: supplies, clothing, weapons and food must be gathered. Spells, charms, amulets and talismans must be charged. Prayers and blessings must be spoken. All to give our heroes the best chance at surviving not just the Scourge, but the frigid winds of Northrend, and of fate.


Next event: Saturday October 16th at 5pm!
