Template:Battle

The Third Battle of Dalaran was a large engagement waged between the crumbling Alliance under the command of Grand Marshal Garithos and the Scourge, for control of the ruined city of Dalaran.

Prelude

The Blood Elves, having aided the Night Elves to bring Illidan to justice whilst the Demon Hunter sheltered within the ruins, were already stationed in Dalaran when Garithos summoned their leader, Prince Kael'thas. Garithos informed Kael of a large Scourge army approaching the city. The Undead had split their forces, attacking the city from the mountains to the west whilst a second army got into position to the east. Garithos rallied his men to meet the Scourge to the west, whilst assigning Kael and his Blood Elves the humiliating task of repairing the Arcane Observatories within the city, to spy upon the Undead movements to the east.

The Battle

Kael began the repairs, and was aided in crossing Lordamere Lake outside Dalaran by Lady Vashj and her Naga, who, sensing kindred spirits, had been watching the Blood Elves' affairs. Kael vanquished a small Undead vanguard and completed the repairs to the Observatories. In a lull in the fighting to the west, Garithos reappeared and warned Kael against consorting with the Naga, whom he considered "inhuman".
