+'''Carevin's Breastplate''' is a quest reward from [[Quest:Worgen in the Woods (2)]].
-==Briefing==
-''The alabaster parapets of [[Lordaeron]]'s [[Capital City|capital]] loom before you in the distance. The proud, defiant armies of the [[Alliance of Lordaeron|Alliance]] stand resolute in their final, fleeting moments. All that remains is the shrill, clarion call to battle and the fulfillment of our destiny. The tides of darkness are now at hand!''
-==Background==
+==Patch changes==
+{{Patch 4.0.3a|note=Added}}
-In preparation for the impending attack, [[King Terenas]] ordered his guards to try to get all the people, and their belongings behind city walls. Many had abandoned their homes with little but the clothes on their back and tools and other professions they had on them when they fled. They knew their homes would be destroyed, and would have to be rebuilt later. He had few men to defend the city walls, as most had left with [[Lothar]], as the king had not expected the [[History of the Horde|Horde]] to attack the city.{{cite|ToD|265}}
+==External links==
-[[Urok Scratcher]] and his commander were among the forces sent to destroy [[Capital City]]. Urok's unit chose to again rely on dragons to sack most of the capital. The most suitable site for the roosts was on the island where their troops had already made a successful landing. Though they already had a base started, the encampment soon fell to a constant stream of raiders. So new construction began near the mine on the island. This was far enough inland that only [[gryphon]]s could harass the base, and those were taken care of by numerous [[guard tower]]s and [[troll]]s.{{cite|W2ToDOSG|204, 205}}

-All the structures necessary to develop [[dragon roost]]s were built first. Four roosts were launching the terrible beasts into the air.  Once they had eat of them flying, their first targets were the numerous enemy troops stationed near the center of the island. For some odd reason the Alliance forces never organized a land attack. Next came their navy, which never stood a chance, it was destroyed by so many firebreathers flying together. Though the Alliance [[destroyer]]s managed to bring down a few, these were replaced quickly. The assault continued twith the removal of their [[shipyard]]s. A protective circle of guard towers made the attacks on the center of the capital prohibitely expensive, but little was left to hinder an amphibious landing.{{cite|W2ToDOSG|204, 205}}

-While the dragons incinerated towers and cleared a wide section of the coastline for landing, the rest of the forces constructed a [[shipyard]] and accompanying structures to produce two [[transport]]s. These made a standard assault on the mainland with four [[catapult]]s, seven [[ogre]]s and a single [[peon]] to raise a barracks. The dragons then concentrated on mobile units, while the catapults methodically removed stationary targets near shore and later focused on the guard towers so the reptiles could focus on the interior. Urok was sure it would be an easy victory, and that it was the Horde's destiny to devour the world.{{cite|W2ToDOSG|204, 205}} King Terenas witnessed the Horde swarm across the lake. Some had crossed over by use of rough bridges. From his vantage point he couldn't see any siege weapons other than a log to be used as a battering ram.{{cite|ToD|264}}
-As the orcs reached the walls, Terenas ordered the soldiers to drop hot [[oil]] on the orcs. The remaining soldiers tipped large cauldrons over the ramparts letting the boiling oil pour down the side of the walls. The oil spilled across the leading orcs, drenching them completely. They screamed in pain as it burned away their flesh. The entire front rank crumpled, writhing and twitching. A few staggered away but most were dead. The Alliance forces prepared more oil to drop on the heads of the Horde. While the oil would run after a few more attempts by the horde, they knew they had plenty of food and supplies and would be able hold out during a long siege if need be.{{cite|ToD|266}}
-The forces of [[Turalyon]] reached the valley leading to Lordaeron. They had ridden hard, with [[Khadgar]] and cavalry, with the infantry and foot soldiers marching behind them. They had traveled west through the foothills of [[Hearthglen]] and emerged north of [[Capital City]], so they could swing back down and come at the city from the wide plain behind it, where the main gates were located. The Alliance forces clashed with the besieging Horde forces, the horsemen scattering the front line until the overwhelming might of the Horde forced them back.{{cite|ToD|272, 273}}
-==Victory for the Horde (original ending)==
-''The victory pyres burn high into the twilight skies covering the ruined capital of Lordaeron. Your success has led [[Orgrim Doomhammer]] - [[War Chief]] of the [[Orc]]ish [[Horde]]s - to elevate you to the station of [[Warlord]], thus giving you power and the command of your own [[clan]]. The [[Alliance of Lordaeron|Alliance]] has finally been crushed, with all those surviving being slain and cremated as is dictated by the rituals. At long last [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] and all of its lands belong to the thunderous force known to those foolish enough to stand in its way as the [[Horde]]!''
