Alliance Expedition
From WoWWiki
The Alliance Expedition (aka Draenor Expedition)APG 131, 136 was a military venture to the orc homeworld of Draenor following the Second War, with the goal of reclaiming the Book of Medivh from Ner'zhul, and stopping the orc from opening portals to other worlds.
The expeditionary forces were led by:
- Archmage Khadgar of Dalaran.
- Turalyon, paladin of the Silver Hand, Supreme Commander.
- Ranger Captain Alleria Windrunner of Quel'Thalas, Lead Scout and Intelligence Agent.
- Kurdran Wildhammer of Aerie Peak, Commander of the Gryphon Rider Division.
- Stromgarde Militia Captain Danath Trollbane, Force Commander and Tactical Advisor.
While the expedition was ultimately successful in retrieving the Book of Medivh following a string of military victories on Draenor, Ner'zhul had learned enough from the book to succeed with his plan to open numerous portals. Knowing that this would cause the destruction of Draenor, the Alliance forces chose to close the Dark Portal in order to protect Azeroth from the forces Ner'zhul had unleashed. Their fate is unknown to those on Azeroth. They were last seen entering a portal to escape the destruction of Draenor. When Ner'zhul and his forces entered a different portal, they were immediately captured by the Burning Legion, though the fate of the Alliance Expedition is unknown.
The heroes of the expedition are commemorated by statues in the Valley of Heroes in Stormwind.
The Burning Crusade
The aging surviving members call themselves the Sons of Lothar (coined by Turalyon), and there is a monument at Honor Hold to remember those who were not so fortunate.
In the Xfire video highlighted on the World of WarCraft website (June 5, 2006) Jeff Kaplan confirmed that all of the Alliance heroes from the expedition will be in The Burning Crusade.[citation needed]
- Khadgar is located in Shattrath City in Terokkar Forest.
- Danath is located at Honor Hold in Hellfire Peninsula.
- Kurdran and Sky'ree are located at Wildhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley.
- Allerian Stronghold, on the edge of Auchindoun in Terokkar Forest, is named after Alleria, which assumes that she has been there; her exact location is unknown.
- Turalyon's whereabouts are unknown.
- Turalyon and Alleria had a child who reports the two of them missing.
Leadership
The Beyond the Dark Portal novel indicates that it is Turalyon - not Khadgar - who is the Supreme Commander of the Alliance Expedition. However, this is contradicted by Khadgar's monument in the Valley of Heroes.
