Setting Things Right

When Sylvanas entered Vargoth's hideout with the key to break the seal on the Mage Tower, her face was filled with unease. She had infiltrated the Ecology Ship alone, painstakingly eliminating Saranis and also uncovering Kael'thas's secrets.

She was certain that the outside world had underestimated the Prince's power. The forces stationed on the Ecology Ship were the Bloodwarder, those on the Mechanar were the Sunseeker, and in addition, there were the Dawnblade, Fire Wing, Sunfury, and Cinderhand Legion. The Shattrath forces alone would likely find it difficult to defeat Kael'thas.

She climbed the tower steps with these worries in her heart.

"You're back?" Vargoth looked at the Female Elf with anticipation.

Sylvanas impatiently tossed the key to him. "The rest is up to you. Don't forget what you promised me."

"Thank you." Vargoth' eyes lit up as he took the key. "Excellent! This little keystone is enough for me to see the fate of Farahlon. Although I'm not sure if I should leave this tower, it's much better to get out than to spend the rest of my life trapped inside."

"You decide for yourself." Sylvanas turned and left; she didn't want to stay in the tower where she would lose half her power for another second.

In Quel'Thalas, there are many places Alleria Windrunner would rather not stay. The Troll city of Zul'Aman, that dreaded place on this list, has been completely replaced by Silvermoon City.

Silvermoon City was once a beautiful city, brimming with the charm of spring. The dazzling style of the Elf adorned the city. Of course, Silvermoon City has now largely recovered, but Alleria has lost much of her enthusiasm. The ancient Silvermoon City seems to have become the face of Kael'thas, looking down upon his land. At this moment, Alleria is alone in the corridor of the Elder's Walk. The entire city is under martial law, with Farstrider and Spellbreaker troops patrolling everywhere, maintaining order and arresting Elf who disturb the peace. Since Alleria personally announced Kael'thas's betrayal, rumors have been rampant. Some are angry, some are desperate, and others accuse Alleria of a conspiracy.

Alleria was delighted when Great Chief Thrall sent envoys to Silvermoon City. She repeatedly pleaded with Thrall to allow the Blood Elf to travel to Outland, but each time she was refused. While she was feeling disappointed, the Horde envoys brought her the latest news from Outland. Of course, very little information concerned Kael'thas. Hellfire Citadel had fallen, the Alliance and Horde were fighting in the Blade's Edge Mountains, and some were preparing to attack Zangarmarsh ... Alleria didn't care about any of that; she only hoped for more information about the Prince to stabilize the situation in Silvermoon City.

"I believe your stance will not disappoint the Great Chief," the Horde envoy concluded. "Neither will your people."

Alleria laughed, a bitter laugh that trembled uncontrollably. Her people? The weight of those four words made her doubt whether she could bear them.

Can she protect the Blood Elf and guide them?

Countless families were torn apart, and the culprits were Arthas, the Scourge, and the Lich King. They brought despair and destruction to everyone here. Husbands and wives, children, parents—countless families were separated, first by death, then by fear and rage.

Alleria froze. Yes! She understood better than anyone what it meant to have a family torn apart, to kill the one you loved. Because of Arthas, she had lost almost everything: her lover, her home, her beloved Quel'Thalas.

So close!

However, at this moment, a Spellbreaker temporarily resolved Alleria's dilemma. He approached the Regent, who was meditating with his curtains closed, bowed first, and said, "Your Highness, the Ranger-General has something to report."

"Get her here right now!" Alleria felt a sense of relief at this unexpected interruption. She didn't expect to find comfort in her sister, but being with family always made her feel relaxed.

"Sister," Alleria said, "Please forgive my interruption, but I think I should inform you of this news immediately." He stood before Alleria and presented her with a scroll. The scroll was sealed with blue and light purple wax lacquer and stamped with a star seal.

"Oh? I've never seen this seal before!" Alleria commented, raising one of her golden eyebrows at Alleria.

"These are the seals of the Starcaller, sent from Outland," Alleria said softly, her tone conveying to Alleria that the Horde was unaware of this.

"Starcaller?" Alleria looked down at the scroll in her hand. "I thought they had long since stopped caring about Quel'Thalas." She nodded with satisfaction. "So, it was sent by Vortar? And who was the messenger?"

Alleria's face was expressionless. "That's not the case, sister. This letter was sent by an Archmage named Seredun. I think... you'd better meet him in person."

Alleria let out a joyful laugh. "How unexpected." The gloom that had been weighing on her heart vanished completely. Inside the envelope were two letters. While Alleria was speaking, the Regent crushed the wax seal and quickly scanned one of them. She discovered that this wasn't some other letter filled with lengthy greetings, but rather a written document detailing Kael'thas's collusion with the demons—evidence!

"It seems that's indeed the case."

"But could this be a trap? What's the background of that Archmage Seredun?" Alleria asked, crumpling another letter into a ball. She didn't need to waste time reading it; it must say the other letter was evidence, detailing how utterly depraved Kael'thas was. "What do you think of the Starcaller gave you the letter?"

"He was indeed Kael'thas's subordinate." Alleria's first sentence immediately aroused Alleria's suspicion about the contents of the letter. As usual, the Ranger-General was always quick to understand her sister's thoughts, and she quickly added, "However, he later joined Vortar's side."

"Vortar and his Starcaller swore allegiance to the Naaru of Shattrath."

"Not everyone is like that. He seemed very sincere. When I asked him the same question, he said that Vortar didn't care at all about Quel'Thalas now, and that he had found evidence of Kael'thas's betrayal." Alleria pointed to the letter in Alleria's hand, "But Vortar didn't share the evidence with his people."

"So Seredun stole the evidence?" Alleria laughed without a hint of humor. "It would be great if more people were willing to set things right."
