After returning to Stormwind City, Unas learned that the spell had shortened his life to perhaps five years and told the old marshal that the regent and Little Prince might have escaped to the Burning Steppes.

• Barbosa and the Goblins’ drugged fish gave the Black Dragon enough strength to disrupt Omar’s spell, but Kressa stepped in to complete the soul-splitting ritual, creating three identical Paladins.
