World Update

A report by Argent commander Vadinnar:

*Arriving at Azurewing Repose, coalition forces quickly learned the dire situation within Azsuna. An expedition of the Blue Dragonflight and Kirin Tor, investigating the reported leyline disruptions, are felled by the Scourge near Zarkhenar. Accounts by a passerby reveal the presence of a Death Knight of uncommon ability devastating the force, and raising the drakes as Wyrms after their fall… *

*With the Blue Dragonlight unable to commit more immediate assistance with the specter of the Wyrmflayer looming over the potential fight, our forces push towards Zarkhenar. It isn’t long before our first obstacle, the discovery that the Scourge are utilizing Undead Withered is presented. The Shal’dorei of the Duskwatch among our forces are particularly disturbed by this. The Withered drone on, conducting the labor of extracting and gathering ley energy at the ruins before carrying like a string of ants away to the northeast. Our forces waste little time in engaging, getting the attack of opportunity on the Withered and striking them down with little effort. *

A maniacal laugh in the distance as an eruption of Arcane energy surges from the crags and crevices of the pools, catching several of our forces off guard. Charging down further into the ley ruins our forces find the elusive Undead Mantid Vizier overseeing the ruins operation and manipulating the energies of the exposed leylines to assault the approaching force. The engagement proceeds, the last of the defending Undead Withered being struck down as the Vizier is taken head on. Eruption after eruption of energy from the pools of ley energy besiege coalition forces as they press upon the Mantid. Clear frustrations from the prior encounter with the Vizier carried into the encounter, as many of the group unleash rather unforgiving assaults on the Undead, despite the assault of ley energy.

The Vizier makes a full retreat, attacking desperately as it attempts to flee to what it perceives as safety, making it as far as the edge of Suramar’s shattered shoals just outside Falanaar before finally being struck down. Left on the shore of Suramar, our forces investigate only to find two particular possibilities before them… pursuing the fleeing Undead Withered as they flee into the forested border of Suramar and Val’sharah, or venturing towards the ruins of Falanaar and the Mantid’s destination.

End of report.

Next event:
A meeting will occur un the Purple Parlor in Dalaran (WotLK) to discuss which path forward to take.

It is also of note that three ships, carrying food supplies from Westfall to Stormwind City, have been reported lost with all hands. Citizens in Stormwind are asked to ration their food supplies for the time being.

It is also being reported that infirmaries in Orgrimmar are at capacity, with many citizens begin to exhibit signs of malnutrition. Any available healers, with any degree of training, are asked to report for duty to help in any way that they can.

The Kirin Tor portal network, linking major cities in Azeroth, is still stable.
