"Why don't you all hear my opinion?" Seeing how things stood, Patrick's moment had arrived. "I suggest establishing the headquarters in Karazhan. How does that sound? As the last Guardian, Medivh is the sole survivor of the Council of Tirisfal. Medivh represents the Council of Tirisfal, and Karazhan is near the Blasted Lands. We could also deter those demons waiting for a chance to slip through the Dark Portal."
This time, not only Illidan and Maiev but even Kael'thas could not work out what Patrick was planning. Hearing that the headquarters would be established in Karazhan naturally delighted the Alliance representatives, and Varian was so pleased that he almost laughed aloud. Strictly speaking, he even had to address Medivh as his uncle. If the Council of Tirisfal was established in Karazhan, wouldn't that mean the Kingdom of Stormwind symbolized the leadership of the Council of Tirisfal?
"But Karazhan's geopolitical implications are far too obvious." Hamuul was still rather sensitive about this region.
"Medivh is from the Kingdom of Stormwind to begin with. We cannot deny that. Karazhan's reopening marks the rebirth of the Council of Tirisfal, nothing more. Whether you wish to acknowledge it or not, that is the truth."
Vol'jin gave Patrick a long look. "I agree with the high elves. The Council of Tirisfal was originally founded jointly by high elves and humans. There is nothing objectionable about reorganizing it in Karazhan."
With Vol'jin's assent, Thrall, though he did not understand the deeper implications, still trusted his old friend. Afterward, Hamul Runetotem immediately indicated that his concerns had been eased and chose to agree.
The Alliance representatives' delight abruptly vanished, replaced by deep misgivings. Just what was that notorious schemer Cabrolon planning? Yet however hard they racked their brains, they could not figure out how this would harm
