Kites was maneuvered into sending Stormwind troops to Northrend, where the Horde, the Scourge, and the Dragonflights pursued their own plans at the soldiers’ expense.

• Vol'jin drove a wedge between the Zul'Drak priests and Loa, while Quetz'lun negotiated with him and Zol'Maz helped the priests plot against her.
