Calia Menethil had, in truth, still harbored a faint hope for the Stormwind Alliance. But the experiences and current circumstances of her people and the Scarlet Crusade forced her to abandon such thoughts. She had to represent the interests of the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron.
"Clear out Utgarde Keep and burn those Vrykul corpses. At the very least, letting them rest is better than allowing them to become undead and be controlled once more. It can also provide nourishment for our new homeland."
Most of the upper Utgarde Pinnacle was occupied by Ymirjar Vrykul, while the lower Utgarde Keep was largely inhabited by living Dragonflayer Clan Vrykul. There were now over a hundred thousand Vrykul corpses inside Utgarde Keep that urgently needed to be dealt with, so Calia Menethil issued this order.
Whether the ancestral Vrykul or their human descendants, both favored burial. But under the present circumstances, Calia Menethil could not choose that option. Though Howling Fjord had found peace, it was still far too close to Icecrown Glacier, the Scourge's headquarters. These corpses could very well become tools for another Scourge assault.
"Yes, Your Majesty." High Inquisitor Sally Whitemane accepted the order.
The current state of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was that Calia Menethil had become its queen, though she had yet to be formally crowned.
The leader of the secret order, Alonsus Faol, served as the chief royal adviser, acting as Calia Menethil's adviser and mentor while assisting her. However, due to his special status, he rarely appeared in public. After all, the radical Scarlet Crusade accounted for half of the Kingdom of Lordaeron's forces.
Tirion Fordring and Alexandros Mograine retained their positions as Highlord of the Silver Hand and Highlord of the Scarlet Crusade, commanding the Kingdom of Lordaeron's only two organized military forces.
