Letters and Tribulations
Letter #10
Dear Loriena,
I found something…quite interesting.
After my time in the Southern Barrens where a long war wages between the Alliance and Horde, I was relocated to Dustwallow Marsh. Upon riding through, I came across a burnt down inn. There were a few clues left behind of what may have once been there but nothing more.
Before I continue, I will elaborate on what these clues were. There was a hoof print outside the inn. Inside, there was an Alliance badge from one of the Theramore soldiers. Finally, there was a burnt shield hanging from the chimney like a decoration piece.
Krog, one of the Orcs stationed here, informed me that the print likely belongs to a centaur or one of those pig men. I neglected to mention it in my previous letters but these humanoids—beasts—have been causing havoc in both portions of the Barrens so it is a possibility for them to have been behind the fire.
The Orc also informed me that he had a spy stationed at the inn. Said spy is now dead.
Naturally, he's far more concerned about what happened to the spy and why than he is about the affairs of the Humans. I would be, too, but this seems especially…odd and worrisome.
Given the events that have occurred during my travels… I've told you of the demon in Ashenvale and Warlord Krom'Gar in Stonetalon Mountains… It doesn't stop there, Sister. Another Warlord in the Southern Barrens was blamed for the massacre and lack of support for the Tauren who lost their beloved Taurajo. He was replaced by another Warlord but…
My point is, there is something very wrong and very off.
I will continue to hold hope in the Horde and all that it stands for, but I cannot help but feel as though we may be falling apart.
It may have been better had I remained in Silvermoon, ignorant of all that is going on here.
I might have been best as a Farstrider….
Lyria
