In a move that many had feared, the Lich King launched several waves
of assaults on Stormwind this morning, hoping to destroy the fleet of King Varian Wrynn before it could take the war back to Northrend. Attacked on the ground and in the air by Frost Wyrm Raptors and Towering Horrors, the harbour was in grave peril but the city defenders rallied and after a brutal and bitter struggle, the enemy were repulsed. It will come as little


surprise that Varian called on the people to put aside their differences and make Arthas pay for his temerity, crying "Take your flying fortresses back to Northrend before I crush them with my bare hands!" to which the herald of the Lich King replied "Come to Northrend. My minions are waiting, and they are hungry ..." One can only fear what awaits us there, and what grief Arthas has brought to the land, hoping the Ironforge, Darnassus and the Exodar haven't come under similar attack, not to forget the cities of the Horde.
Leafshine and myself were there for the fight and pledged ourselves to the invasion, taking the Varian Oath to assault Northrend, possibly in as little as 36 hours time,
For now, the skies of Azeroth are once more clear of the Scourge, but the stormclouds of renewed war are visible on the horizon.
