-The battle on the Lordaeron continent rages on. [[Alliance]] forces from the [[Western Plaguelands]] and [[Hillsbrad Foothills]] have suffered heavy losses and now regroup at the [[Alterac Mountains]] under the leadership of [[Vanndar Stormpike]]. Meanwhile, [[Drek'Thar]]'s condition worsens allowing [[High Warlord Cromush]] to take complete control of the [[Horde]] forces within the area. As the two forces enter a renewed conflict within the [[Alterac Valley]], another [[Syndicate|group]] plots to take control over region as well. In the midst of the chaos, a forgotten [[Perenolde|family]] returns...
+'''Pagle's Pointe''' is a subregion of [[Zul'Gurub]], accessed by turning left down a hill just before reaching the outer walls of the [[Temple of Bethekk]]. This is where [[Gahz'ranka]] is fought.
-== Story ==
-The [[Alliance]] retreats from [[Hillsbrad Foothills]] after their major defeat at the hands of the [[Horde]]. Majority of them regroups at [[Dun Baldar]] together with the [[Stormpike Clan]] while others regroup at their holdings in the [[Hinterlands]] or [[Arathi Highlands]]. The [[Horde]] pursues them but is unable to score a decisive victory due to the lack of support from the [[Frostwolf Clan]]. [[High Warlord Cromush]] gets fed up with the [[Frostwolf Clan|Frostwolf]]’s continued inaction and decides to take over command of the [[Horde]] forces stationed. He brings his men to [[Frostwolf Keep]] and personally visits [[Drek’Thar]]. However, [[Drek’Thar]] reminds [[High Warlord Cromush|Cromush]] that his position was given to him by the former Warchief, [[Thrall]], and therefore, only the current [[Garrosh Hellscream|Warchief]] may replace him. Left with no other choice, [[High Warlord Cromush|Cromush]] sends a messenger to [[Garrosh Hellscream|Garrosh]] to officially transfer control from [[Drek’Thar]] to him.
+==Cataclysm==
-While waiting for the [[Garrosh Hellscream|Warchief]]'s approval, [[High Warlord Cromush|Cromush]] receives [[Forsaken]] reinforcements led by the newly raised [[Aliden Perenolde]] in order to secure the [[Alterac Mountains|region]]. Their first task was to capture [[Strahnbrad]] which was retaken by its citizens from the [[Syndicate]] after [[Aliden Perenolde|Aliden]]'s death. [[Aliden Perenolde|Aliden]] eventually conquers the [[Strahnbrad|town]] for the [[Horde]] and raises its inhabitants as new [[Forsaken]].

-Meanwhile, [[Vanndar Stormpike]] plans the defense of their holdings. Aside from reinforcements from the neighboring regions, he also receives a pack of [[Worgen]] led by [[Isiden Perenolde]]. [[Isiden Perenolde|Isiden]]'s pack assaults Mordis Castle. There, rogue [[Undead]] are being raised by [[Valimar Mordis]] using a fragment of the artifact, [[Orb of Ner'zhul]]. The [[Undead]] force is eventually destroyed and the [[Valimar Mordis|baron]] is put to rest once and for all, allowing Mordis Castle to become an [[Alliance]] outpost.
-== Alliance Quests ==
-*'''Quest Title: Tale of a Prince'''
-**Start: [[Isiden Perenolde]]
-**End: [[Isiden Perenolde]]
-**Objective: Escort Prince [[Isiden Perenolde]] and his pack to Mordis Castle Ruins.
-**Description: If we are to retake Alterac City, we would need to have another base of operations. There is an abandoned Castle nearby, Mordis Castle. From there, we would be able to launch surgical strikes against the enemy. I ask that you escort me and my aides there.
-**Dialogue:
-***Isiden: You may think lowly of me because of my family name, but I do not blame you. Ever since my uncle's treason became public, other people became wary of our entire family. Spare me what you think of me. I had nothing to do with it and I have been through many hardships...
-***(Isiden pauses for a while)
-***Isiden: I grew up without my parents for they were killed during the war between my kingdom and Stromgarde. I grew up in my uncle's household. I may have been royalty but I never lived comfortably there. My uncle never bothered with me as if I don't exist. My cousins on the other hand saw me nothing of more than threat to their own ambitions. The only one who took care of me was my aunt. She treated me as if I was one of her own children... Unfortunately, she passed away just before the Second War.
-***(Isiden pauses for a while)
-***All of a sudden, the Second War erupted. I was part of the company my uncle brought to Lordaeron. Uncle would always comment on how he wanted the Capital City for himself but I did not pay attention to it... As the war raged on, the Horde have decimated much of the Alliance frontlines. Uncle called for a council with the nobles of Alterac. Many were concerned on what would happen once the Horde were at our doorsteps. Others feared that the orcs have already infiltrated the mountains as there were sightings as early as the First War. General Hath's proclamation that our armies would not last even a single day fighting the orcs only worsened the condition. During one of the meetings, an orc warlock had used magic to turn a mirror in the hall as a means to communicate with us. Many were scared, as was I, when we saw the orcs on the other side of the mirror. However, what happened next scared me even more. They have offered us a chance to save our skins by betraying our comrades and without hesitation, majority of the nobles agreed! Some nobles protested, like Baron Valimar Mordis, but they were subsequently put on house arrest. Others played safe by pretending to go along but distanced themselves from the royal family such as Lord Alexei Barov. As for me, I did nothing. NOTHING. I just stood there as my uncle doomed our kingdom.
-***(Iliden transform into Worgen Form)
-***Isiden: The Second War was over but then came the Alterac Crisis. While King Terenas and King Thoras debated on what to do with Alterac, we were left at the mercy of the Alliance troops stationed in the city. They beat up the nobles and humiliated them in front of their subjects. What did I do, you ask?... I ran. I and my aides escaped the kingdom pretending to be travelers. At that time, I did not know what to do. If King Terenas was to be followed, my cousin Aiden would become king and he would likely cast me aside leaving me with nothing. If King Thoras was to be followed on the other hand, Alterac would be no more and I may still end up with nothing as well. I requested council with my aides. They told me that I could become king and the only thing I needed to pull it off was a patron. Lordaeron and Stromgarde were out of the question. Kul'Tiras sided with Lordaeron. Stormwind was too busy rebuilding its territory. Lastly, Dalaran did not concern themselves with politics. The only kingdom I can turn to was Gilneas.
-***(Isiden pauses for a while)
-***Isiden: When I arrived in Gilneas, I asked an audience with King Genn and his government to plead my case with them. Even before I discussed with them, I knew they were going to ask something in return. Eventually, the plot thickens. They were going to wed Genn's daughther, Tess, to me as part of a political marriage. Alterac, under my leadship, was to become a close ally of Gilneas. Genn would then accompany me to Lordaeron where I would come face to face with my contenders. Then came long and grueling arguments and nobody was willing to back down. Genn and I had a failing when he transferred his support to a pretender named Daval Prestor but that came to pass. As the debates continue, I lost hope of becoming king. Eventually, Genn grew tired and gave up the idea. Furthermore, he wanted to build a wall to isolate Gilneas. He gave me two choices: I was to leave Gilneas and be on my own or I was to stay and never be able to return to my homeland...
-***(Isiden pauses for a while)
-***Isiden: I chose the latter. I had everything I wanted there. Genn's family accepted me better than my uncle's. I was also treated like royalty as well. When news had reached Gilneas that the Scourge had laid waste to most of the continent, I never even bothered of what happened to Alterac. Then as if fate has punished me for abandoning my homeland, I was infected by the Worgen curse. I slaughtered countless innocents during my rampage until Lord Darius made me regain my senses. Unfortunately, I have too much blood on my hands already. To make up for what did, I helped the Gilneans battle the Forsaken. I stayed behind with others to protect Gilneas as the civilians flee. Eventually, the 7th Legion got involved and secured Gilneas City. It was at that time that I left Gilneas in their hands while I try to find out about Alterac's fate. After all that, here I am now.
-***(Isiden howls)
-***Isiden: Thank you for listening. I have been meaning to get those out of my chest for some time  now.

-**Progress: Take the pleasure of inflicting as much pain as you can to uncle but make it quick for aunt.
