DescriptionEdit

<name>, the Lich King plagues us with invasion. To beat him back to his frozen throne, the Horde and Alliance must stand resolute together. In Shattrath, in the Terrace of Light, that alliance has been struck.

To aid our struggle against the Lich King, go to the new apothecary camp in the Terrace of Light and speak with Grand Apothecary Putress. He leads desperate research to end the zombie plague. His cure is our salvation.

Be swift, <name>. Each moment passed is another innocent life lost.

ForsakenEdit

Greetings, brother. You may have come on behalf of the Argent Dawn, but that is not why you are here -- you are here to help your people earn the respect we so justly deserve. As any forsaken will agree, the end justifies the means, and our research into the zombie plague's cure is that proverb in practice...

OthersEdit

What a fine, robust specimen you are. We have many experiments to perform and our stable of volunteers is nearly bankrupt. Fresh blood is welcome blood indeed, and I'm sure someone of your stature has blood to spare...
