Savant, Masterful sleuthing in Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau has led us to new insights. A dredge and Flame Legion alliance? Talk about unnatural. Not even my craziest conjecture could have predicted that coupling. And when the blind and bullish collide, you can expect acute stupidity to follow (they're calling themselves the "Molten Alliance," if that gives you any indication of their subpar creativity). But I digress—it's evident that the muttonheads in the Black Citadel and Hoelbrak have lost control of the situation. While my presence is essential in Rata Sum, you have the noble opportunity to lend the cities your assistance. Check in at the Black Citadel's Imperator's Core, where their high-ranking officials have organized a defense quorum. Declare your support, then convene with Rytlock for additional instruction. —Zojja
