"Mm! Raising Quel'Danil's international standing and status. That's a good reason!"
Yu Lin Bloodhawk thought for a moment and said, "So, once my rank rises, you council magnates can legitimately attend all kinds of international meetings on equal footing with the Quel'Thalas delegation, even if their delegation is headed by a duke. Is that right?"
