The Burning Legion has been defeated and is left weaken in Outland and Fellwood, in Northrend Arthas has merged with the Lich King and now waits in stasis, and throughout Azeroth a fragile and tenuous peace has been made between the Alliance and the Horde. Meanwhile the other nations of Azeroth and Outland rise. Will they fall and crumble to dust or will they rise and change the face of this world? Only time will tell.

Greetings from the Boomstick Cartel. As Trade Prince, I would like to extend a hand in friendship to you. We have stayed neutral in many of the conflicts thus far. However, times are growing more violent and we must rely on friends to survive the coming war. Our lands border each other and rely on each other for successful trade routes.

It had been this way since he was a child, standing at his father's side, learning the ways of the shaman. But then, not long ago, came war and the Burning Legion.

The coming of the Legion to Azeroth had seen the spirits that occupied Mahde's dreams no longer whispering, but crying out in fear and pain. But now Archimonde had been defeated, the Legion repelled, the Scourge chased back into the Northern wastes. Peace, if a tenuous one, had been restored.

If these Teleporters will have some means of denying access from specific gates, then I believe we would be interested. I can get our shaman working on this as soon as possible, however, I would have to ask for something in return for our help.

Your offer is intriguing, but I do not know if there is any real way I can assist, or indeed, why I should assist. I do not know who you are or how you sent this message or indeed where you sent the message from. While it is true that the Scourge are a threat to us all and it would improve Alterac's standing if we were to participate, I would rather not walk into a trap. Who else is on this 'venture'? If there are others taking part I just might consider your offer.

"Now, relax. Close your eyes. Listen to the sounds of the land. Feel An'she shining down upon you. All of these things, and more, are the means through which the Earth Mother speaks to us. But only if you listen closely. Now, spend a few moments simply listening.

Mahde watched Dagala Blackhoof finish instructing the young Tauren, smiling as he did. Some might think it strange that the tribe's High Shamanka instructing the fledgling shaman, but Dagala had always insisted on being involved, even at the earliest stages. As the group of young ones sat, concentrating as they had been told, Dagala stood and made her way over to Mahde.

"You wished to speak to me..." she studied his face a moment. "The dreams have returned, haven't they?"

Mahde shrugs. They never left. Just became less frequent. But that isn't why I'm here, I just wanted your opinion on some things.

OOC: Yep, teleportation of single individuals, or even groups, is relatively commonplace (among heroes, at least.) I figure that Shaman's Hold would be an important enough town that it would be fairly easy to teleport too.

If that is your wish, then very well. All of this season's profits for these portals will go to you. In return, you will help us heal our broken land.

And I hope you are correct about the Scourge. Though I bid you to be careful. They are currently dormant, do not risk waking them until their defeat is assured.

"Hmmm....teaching the way of the shaman is...difficult. Part of it is simply having the ability to sense the spirits. Some can, some cannot. However, if you are confident you have some people who can learn, and are willing to follow the wisdom of the Earthmother, I think we can teach them.

As for trading by sea, the idea has merit. There are many items in other lands that could assist us in our efforts here, and being able to acquire them ourselves instead of through others would be useful...

Very well, tell your Baron that the Children of Oralis tentatively agree to his proposal. Though we may not actually be able to deliver on it this season (read as turn), perhaps next?

"I am Typhis'Ahn, General of the Nerubian people. We dwell in the western side of the Dragonblight in Northrend. We Nerubians are Arachnids. So as not to startle your people with our appearance, we are sending this letter by magic."

"For this campaign against the Scourge we have already secured the assistance of the Drakkari Troll tribes, the Grizzlemaw Furbolgs, the Blackwater Raiders and the Riven Council. Our combined military stands at twenty legions. The Scourge has only fifteen legions."

"As it stands we have a good chance of victory, but it's best to be sure about these kind of things. When we have enough allies we'll invite everyone back to our capital to discuss tactics. There you will be able to meet everyone else involved."

(OOC: Not much it would just be fluff.) Very well. We already have nations in mind that we do not want to see crossing the pass. We ask you not to allow the Scourge, Horde, Burning Legion, Alterac Syndicate, Murloc Hordes, Riven Council, or the Naga through your territory and to inform us if any of them tries to do so by force. In return we will make a trade pact and aid you should another attempt to take your territory. Please note, goblins, that until we feel we can trust you we will watch you to make sure you are upholding your end of the bargain.

Yes my brothers we can help you make the barrens a safer place for the Tauren people. Though I must ask, why not join the Horde? Warchief Thrall has done much to make sure the Tauren tribes have a safe place to live. We have many tauren tribes with us and even Magatha Grimtotem, much to her displeasure, works for the betterment of the Horde.

Leader of alliance,

Kingdoms of Silvermoon and Lordaeron were allies for millennia, but then Arthas destroy both of them. I am leader of elven unrestful ghosts. There is blighted land between our territories, would you consider purification it from Plague?

Aliden rose from his desk and strode out of the room, leaving a rather bemused Beve and Isiden with the running of the Syndicate. After hastily convening a few magical practicioners, a message was sent.

General Typhis'Ahn,

Truthfully, it has been too long since I last fought an enemy of Azeroth. If everything is as you say, I would gladly lend whatever I can spare to the cause. I shall begin marshalling a force post haste, and turn this destitute 'Syndicate' into something beffiting the name Alterac.

And so it was that Lord Aliden Perenolde of Alterac surveyed his domain, and found it a hive of cutpurses and assassins where'er he looked, while his siblings wondered whether he had gone mad.

"Greetings one and all. The time has come for us to take our fight to the Scourge. All of you have agreed to join us in battle, and for that I thank you."

"For this operation to go off successfully we must meet and discuss our battle plans. Included with this message are Teleportation co-ordinates. Send your general or representative here, we will escort them to the meeting point. The meeting will take place in three days"

"Then it is agreed."

"Might I ask if you would be willing to join us in our campaign? I would rather not leave the scourge any chance of surviving this. I can promise you an equal share of the loot, which is looking to be quite spectacular given the wealth of the Scourge."

I have some questions regarding the scourge;

• Is the Scourge actively growing, and what areas have they been growing in recently?
• Are their spies active in other territories, and have they been reading my messages?

Oh yes, I'd also like to invite the Horde and Alliance to send observers to this meeting. It's best they know the battle plans so we can avoid any messy accidents.

We will gladly assist you in this fight against the Scourge. However we have one other requirement. That our mages be allowed to inspect all of the magic items recovered in order to seal away any items of pure evil.
