Undercity and Darnassus in Turmoil

Tarlna the Ageless and Ursal—one a demigod of Outland, the other a forest demigod of Azeroth—had grown even more powerful after being empowered by the Nightmare.

Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon had a terrible headache as well. He had no idea what madness had seized Archdruid Fandral Staghelm.
