The Farstriders and the Windrunner Burning Legion were both Main Combat Burning Legion forces fighting the Shadowpine Trolls of Zul'Aman on the front lines. They reported substantial equipment losses every year, yet much of that equipment was still perfectly serviceable. It had merely grown a little worn after several years of use and needed some refurbishing. Their warehouses even held plenty of new equipment that had never been issued.
The Farstriders Commander had long since heard that Yu Lin Bloodhawk intended to trade 1,200 Worgs for two large secondhand transport ships. He was furious about it and launched into a blistering tirade the moment they met.
He believed these battle pets should go to the frontline troops first! What was the point of keeping them in the rear? Dire Wolves were relatively small, so he could let that slide, but Worgs were different. They were large, and he had heard they could even be trained as mounts. That was why he was so angry. In the end, however, he agreed to let the Eclipse Burning Legion have enough for one unit.
During his negotiations with Yu Lin Bloodhawk, he demanded enough Worgs for two units, a total of 1,200. The Farstriders had to maintain the same standard as the Windrunner Burning Legion.
Each Worg would be exchanged for three complete sets of ordinary secondhand Ranger equipment. None of them currently had Giant Bloodfang Boars with which to form a Steel Torrent unit, but they had already agreed that each legion could equip no more than one Bear Iron Fist unit. Likewise, each legion could have at most one Nightstalker unit.
That made Worgs a powerful mainstay among their battle pets. A legion with only 600 Bear Iron Fist bears would lack striking power. But putting 1,200 Worgs behind those 600
