[Mystic] Kargathar Archmage of the Korin Tor

The Sheet

[Kirhart]

I had misspelled your name in the title, sorry.

You have apprenticed under Medvh since you were 17, you were equal parts heartbroken and equal parts enraged when you heard of his becoming tainted and opening the Dark Portal unleashing the Burning Legion. You recently learned that he was possessed by a demon named Sargeras who, over the years, had slowly corrupted and took control of the Archmage's powerful arcane magic.

You were the first to report this to the king of Stormwind, who immediately, with your assistance, hatched a plan to be able to stop the onslaught.

Emissaries went out and various heroes were contacted and given a vital piece of information : if we did not act soon all of azeroth would succumb to the taint of the Burning Legion.

Lord Perenolde in Alterac had pledged any resources at his disposal to aid the king. The Lord was master of one of the smallest kingdoms in the Alliance which was notorious for not contributing to the greater good. The Lord however knew that it was only a matter of time that the fate which would soon befall all of the humans in Stormwind would also befall him. Stormwind was a port city, a fleet of ships had been called up to empty the city and move the Humans to Thereremore. The Burning Legion had cut off all possibility of getting into Stormwind by a group consisting of his subjects. He was cut off and isolated but his kingdom had never been alone. The hope for the Perenolde family would rely on the Kings plan to destroy the dark portal and stop the Legion from spreading. He offered his complete assistance. Both you and the King know these are the only reasons Perenolde has offered assistance, but Alterac had several opportune features which would be very helpful to the group when it set off.

Durotan, and by extension Orgrim was a part of the plan conceived by the Half Breed Assassin Garona. She had been spying on Medvh and Gul'dan for some time, and she also furnished the information about a spy inside the Frostwolf Chief's camp. You do not trust her to be having the proper motives behind her gathering the information she is and passing it to others. You are almost certain she is spying and relaying just as much information to you and the King as she is to Medveh and Gul'dan about you.

Her motives aside, the information she gave checked out, and the plot to stop the two dark sorcerers was largely conceived without her help. The addition of Blackhand's second in command Orgrim was to be recruited, but only because he had the hatred and distrust of Gul'dan enough to kill him. Having his assistance in stopping Medveh would just be a consolation prize.

You arrived at Alterac first, and you know that Lothar, Bronzebeard, and the half breed were on their way. It was up to you to use Durotan to get to Orgrim, even though you knew what that would mean. You knew that you would be sending Durotan and his wife to their deaths, and their son would live. However, you also knew that Durotan could have lived in exile long enough to see his son grow up, but without the removal of the spy from his midst the entire Frostwolf Tribe would die.

You knew that Durotan was honorable, for an Orc, and that appealing to that honor would help you to gain his trust.

It is just after Durotan disappeared down the path towards his encampment.

Brann Bronzebeard, the famous dwarf explorer and prospector was the expeditions guide. He would show the group little known pathways through the mountains in order to sneak into Medvih's tower without becoming a target of the Burning Legion.

You know some pieces of your former master are still present within Medvih and you wish there was some way to appeal to his humanity and expel Sargeras. You know that Lothar's sole mission from the king is to kill the wizard, so you would only have a small chance if you were going to try to save your master from a grim fate, suffered at your own hands.

You have four days to prepare as your allies arrive, Lord Pereolde will provide horses and supplies to last the journey to Karazhan the tower which Medivh had taken refuge.

Not long ago a Night Elf arrived and pledged his help to the mission. You are weary at first because you do not remember any emissary being sent to the Night Elves. Night Elf magic was different from yours so perhaps it was something they were able to sense.

You welcome the additional help, and wonder when the rest of the team will arrive.

This is all you know up to this point, it is up to you to fill in the blanks and carry out the mission, perils await you, so prepare yourself.

Before you can go inside, Brann approaches.
