Waking Cold in Deathknell
A new Forsaken rogue stirs in Tirisfal Glades, hears who freed the dead, and sends six of the Mindless to their rest.
Discovered Shadow Grave
The Road
I came to myself at Shadow Grave in the pale light of dawn, and I paused a while to take in the view of the place. A little later I reached Deathknell, still under that same dawn sky, and the village and its crypt became my first bearings in Tirisfal Glades.
Battles
Before the day was out I had slain six foes in the Glades: four Mindless Zombies, one Wretched Zombie, and a Young Scavenger. Small work, but my hands are learning it. The eight Mindless and eight Wretched I was asked to put down are still not finished.
Deeds
Undertaker Mordo gave me my first request. He said it was "About time you woke up," and told me I was the Lich King's slave no more. He sent me to Shadow Priest Sarvis in the chapel at the base of the hill. Sarvis took my report and said I was another of the walking dead, and he explained that Lady Sylvanas had freed us from the Lich King. That finished Rude Awakening.
Sarvis then set me to The Mindless Ones. The northern part of the village is overrun, and he wants eight Mindless Zombies and eight Wretched Zombies destroyed, with no mercy. The Fallen are nothing but the Lich King's slaves, he said. I have only begun.
Fellowship
In the chapel I was greeted by a few voices. A Deathstalker named David Trias spoke of the Deathstalkers' numbers growing with Lord Varimathras's sanction, and of more blades to strike at our enemies when they least expect it. Margaret Weaver spoke to me in a tongue I could not follow.
Growth
My skill with daggers rose to 5. It is a small gain, but I felt the blade sit a little more easily in my hand.
