*A letter is set on the door of the quarters of Sythegars Grimnir and Signe in their respective towns of occupation in northrend. The letter reads as follows*
The battle against Malygos and the dragon's attack on magic grows strained. Not from the lack of manpower but the lack of supplies that are located in Dalaran. Rhonin the official leader of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran has asked that fresh supplies be found and sent to us to further aid in the destruction of this Dragon that would kill so many of our own.
As Warlord I question why we must purchase these resources when the alliance settlements that we are so close to can provide both Dalaran and the Grin with a bountiful supply. I am issuing an order to attack the nearby alliance settlements to provide us with those supplies. Use the Grin that you have gathered at your discretion do as much damage as possible, restock the Grin's stores, and then send the rest to Dalaran.
Warlord Shadiel El Shadorath
Signe sighed, looking down at the map of Dragonblight. Such a vast area, with many possibilities for the Alliance to keep their stores of goods. But where would they hold the most? Not Stars' Rest. Too open, too easily attacked. The supplies there would be sparse. Not Fordragon Hold, either, since most of the guards there were fleeing, and the Dragon Queen has made her presence there known.
Signe tapped the map with her finger. There. Wintergarde Keep, home of the 7th Legion. It would be tricky, but Signe knew the Grin could do it. The best way to gain the supplies in Dragonblight would be through that Keep. And the first target would be its Commander.
Grimnir's return letter arrives with surprising haste.
Warlord,
I am only too eager to respond to your request, as our search here grows fruitless. I have recalled the entirety of my forces and will be prepared to rally a Grin attack upon the Westfall Brigade in the Grizzly Hills within three days' time.
Once our raid is successfully completed, we shall move with all due speed to rejoin you and your battalion in Coldarra. The time for foolish and unnecessary sojourns into the far reaches of Northrend is over.
Blood and thunder, Warlord.
Sythegar Grimnir Frostwolf
Warlord Shadiel,
I am sorry to say that our attempt at gaining supplies in Dragonblight has failed. The walls of Wintergarde were too much for our troops, and we were met with much resistance.
Also, I'm reluctant to say, we may need to make reparations to the small camp called Venomspite. When we made our retreat, the Alliance followed, destroying much of the camp. The Forsaken there were understanding of our plight for supplies; however, a good-faith gesture to help repair may be appreciated.
I only hope that Sythegar Grimnir has a better result.
