The forces advance

Time flowed, each moment like a string, which bound together forming the True time. The paradox caused by Nozdormu had broken that flow, had Kintari not reset time back to the moment of the Dark portal's opening, Nozdormu's actions would repeat in a constant loop known as 'End Time'. Now with the flow once more moving toward the events of the paradox, Kintari had been forced to play upon the strings, adding his own tune to the flow.

Events on Outland had unfolded much like Kintari had expected, even with his influences. Time followed its own course, even if influenced by others it would ultimately return to its true path, the only exception being a paradox.

Tyrande Whisperwind had arrived on Outland a week after the forces of Azeroth discovered Shattrath city. The Naaru were happy to accept the Azeroth forces, as they had come under attack from Illidan's forces and where eager to accept new allies.

Tyrande had insisted upon the Night Elves leading the main force that was to assault the Black Temple. The Horde had happily agreed for them to deal with their own kind, under condition that the Blood Elves would lead the attack on Tempest Keep's the Eye. Tyrande readily agreed that each would take care of their own.

The other races within the Alliance and Horde would split their forces between the two elf groups. The Horde command with the Night Elves would answer to Tyrande Whisperwind, and the Alliance command would answer to Lady Liadrin who would lead the Blood Elf forces.

Kintari readied himself for the months that would follow; his involvement would not be required in the Night Elves progress through the lands of Shadowmoon Valley. His influence would be needed elsewhere, if Illidan was to be redeemed bonds of the past must be tested, as only through them may he be pulled from the darkness.
