The business at the Scarlet Monastery had drawn to a close, and everyone began returning to Hearthglen and New Faolun City. Alonsus and Calia were also brought back by the Silver Hand. As for Rotande Gili, he had become one of the Forsaken and no longer had any ties to the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Although he very much wanted to return to Lordaeron, his current identity meant the people could no longer accept him.
Maxwell Tyrosus, Demetria, Tirion Fordring, and the others once again pledged their allegiance to Calia. As the last heir of House Menethil, no one was more qualified than Calia to inherit the throne, and the shattered Kingdom of Lordaeron likewise needed a common sovereign to raise the kingdom's banner.
Everyone had barely returned to the Crimson Flame Monastery when they heard the latest news from the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas: summoning Kil'jaeden in an attempt to destroy the world. This left the Silver Hand, which had always maintained close ties with Quel'Thalas, dumbfounded.
Calia did not understand why things had turned out this way either, but the equipment worn by the defenders of Tyr's Hand all bore elven enchanting craftsmanship, showing how much the Silver Hand had benefited from the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas. Moreover, as a member of Lordaeron's royal family, nearly everything Calia used and wore had been purchased from the High Elves at great expense, so she was very familiar with the style of Quel'Thalas's creations.
"Sir Fordring, the situation in the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas seems far from encouraging." Destroying the world was far too serious a matter. Not only was Tirion Fordring unable to make up his mind for the moment, but neither Calia nor Alonsus could come up with a course of action.
"That's impossible." Tirion Fordring still did not believe the reports.
