Azar pondered a question the entire way: why had the Burning Legion chosen to attack on multiple fronts instead of advancing steadily? Were they really that confident in their combat strength? Only after he reached Zin-Azshari did he find the answer. He had overlooked a huge problem—a problem that would bring disaster upon the Kaldorei army. The Well of Eternity was under the Burning Legion's control! A vast number of Eredar mages were gathering around the Well of Eternity to carry out an important task: completely sever the connection between the Well of Eternity and the creatures of Azeroth!
