Milady,

I do hope you'll forgive us, but it seems that your Vanguard has stepped out of bounds, to say the least. Her reputation for weaseling seems to proceed her, and she quite lives up to expectations, at any rate. In her visit to the Argent Vanguard, southern Icecrown, she left the encampment and managed her way into Arthas's domain. Luckily, we of the Argent Crusade have set up our own small entry point within one of the walls of the citadel. It will not be long before it is discovered, but we can only be grateful that we were able to move in and out swiftly with the Captain in arms.

Her condition is troublesome. Whatever was done to her inside, we can only take it into consideration that Arthas will certainly not be lenient and he certainly will not kill his enemies quickly. I will allow you to examine Capt. Mel'Romen on your own, perhaps with a priest or priestess to attempt a healing wave to bring her back to her full health.

What you have most likely read in her journal is disturbing at best. We assure you her mind has been eased, courtesy of the Prophet Velen. Even in war, it seems, the two great factions can learn to assist one another, no? While I cannot guarantee her mental conditioning as of yet, it appears she is back to normal for the most part. I have traveled with her to Light's Hope Chapel, Eastern Plaguelands, in order to be certain everything is well with my soldier - as well as yours. Excuse any shyness or distance this young paladin executes. When you see her you will surely understand that it is necessary, for she has been through much for an elf so young in her years.

I pray you stay well Baroness. Give your Baron Wolstenholme my warmest regards and relay to him that the Argents will lend a hand to your soldiers. After all, two of your high-ranking officers are both well-known and respected among our own ranks. I, personally, would be more than happy to storm through the gates of the citadel alongside you all.

May the Light embrace you. Death to the Scourge!

Sincerely,

--Highlord Tirion Fordring, Supreme Commander of the Argent Crusade
