Dranosh Saurfang's Declaration

The next day, a combined force of forty thousand from the Warsong Offensive's Kor'kron Vanguard, the Grimtotem, the Bloodtotem, and the Taunka gathered near the pit outside Icemist Village. This left the defenses of Agmar's Hammer and Icemist Village dangerously undermanned.

The young Dranosh Saurfang wore High Overlord Varok Saurfang's suit of power armor and carried High Overlord Varok Saurfang's High Warlord's Battle Axe.

The Kor'kron Vanguard below answered with fervent cheers. After all, the Kor'kron Legion was commanded by High Overlord Varok Saurfang, and they had followed him through countless campaigns.

He will lead you to defeat them and claim supreme glory!"

"Many of us will die there, in those bottomless depths. Our bodies will be devoured by those Nerubians." An army of forty thousand appeared formidable, but if they ventured deep into the kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, they would be like a single drop of water in
