WotLK Prologue - Undead attacks on capital cities !
It seems that the big part of the WotLK prologue just started ! More updates to come as we gather more information about this.

• Abominations and Frostwyrms are assaulting capital cities
• Faction Leaders have been moved around to help with the defense
• The event seems to repeat itself a few minutes after it ends
• Few changes have been made to the "old" parts of the events, most of the Argent NPCs are gone, battle count has been reset, etc ...

Stormwind
Varian Wrynn, Bolvar Frodragon, Broll Bearmantle, Valeera Sanguinar are at the Stormwind Harbor, ready to lead the defense of Stormwind.

Orgrimmar
Sylvanas Windrunner and Garrosh Hellscream try to convince Thrall to send his forces to Northrend. Thrall doesn't want to fall into a trap and get challenged by Garrosh in the Ring of Valor, Garrosh almost wins but the fight gets interrupted when undeads attack Orgrimmar. At the end of the fight Thrall finally agrees to send the horde to Northrend

I logged on to my horde alt and saw the frost wyrms in Valley of Honor, however Stormwind is still quiet.

[shamo316]

[Evilmaniac]

In Org I also noticed some Wrath lore characters like Surafang or whatever his name his up around thrall at the arena

[Leprodigy]

OOOOOOOOOH, im so excited.

[tidus4eva]

Some info. on Orgrimmar. Garrosh Hellscream and Thrall are talking/go to duel in the arena in Orgrimmar. In the middle of their fight, they are interrupted by Scourge, at which point they kill the scourge. After which, you can hear a magnificent war drum sound, and the battles begin, Thrall starts voice-shouting his 'attack' sounds, and the battle is under way. It is also assisted w/ the well known Herald of the Lich King discussion.

Still nothing going on in SW, but lots of people turning out at least:

[Humperella]

I think I missed the beginning, but oh well:



Garrosh Hellscreem says: Thrall... Warchief... your armies await your command. Let me lead them to Northrend to remove this undead menace!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunnre says: Yes, Thrall. The time has come to kill Arthas. You can take my grand apothecary with you. His knowledge will be invaluable against whatever the Scourge will throw at you.

Grand Apothecary Putress says: It would be an honor, Dark Lady.

High Overlord Saurfang says: Warchief, it is clear that Northrend represents the gravest threat to our people, and that we must act against it. But this foe is unlike any other. caution must be advised.

Thrall says: My soul burns for revenge, but the elements tell me to think clearly. The Lich King is a ruthless opponent... one who must be handled carefully.

Thrall says: We will send scouts to assess the situation. I will also convene with the Lady Proudmoore and see what plans the Alliance has.

Garrosh Hellscream says: Gragh! I cannot take this! While you talk and deliberate, our enemies grow stronger! Were it my choice, I would have put all our available forces onto that frozen rock and conquered it for the Horde!

Thrall says: If this is a trap, it is one I will not blindly walk into! Do not make the same mistakes as your father, Farrosh!

Garrosh Hellscream says: After all that he did for YOU and YOUR people? MAK'GORA!

Thrall says: You challenge me, boy? I don't have time for this...

Garrosh Hellscream says: So you refuse? Is the son of Durotan a coward?

Thrall says: Inside!

Garrosh Hellscream yells: Your duties as warchief can wait. For now... we fight!

... they fight and Thrall loses.

Thrall yells: GYAH!

Garrosh Hellscream yells: Hah! So, son of Durotan, what--

Herald of the Lich King yells: PUPS OF ORGRIMMAR! HEAR ME, BRASH UPSTARTS OF THE HORDE! TREMLE, AND KNOW YOUR DOOM, FOR THE LICH KING'S GAZE IS FIXED UPON YOU!

High Overlord Saurfang yells: Warchief! Scourge forces are attacking Orgrimmar!

Thrall yells: We will finish this another time... son of Grom.

... fighting scourge !! Abominations and frost wyrms.

Herald of the Lich King yells: ARGH! THIS SMALL VICTORY WILL AVAIL YOU NOTHING! COME! COME TO NORTHREND. MY MINIONS ARE WAITING, AND THEY ARE HUNGRY...

Garrosh Hellscream says: Well, Warchief? What say you now? Will you send me to Northrend?

Thrall says: Saurfang...

High Overlord Saurfang says: Yes, Warchief?

Thrall says: Marshal our forces. Contact our goblin shipwrights. The Horde prepares for war!

High Overlord Saurfang says: As you command, Warchief!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Excellent... most excellent.

A nice collection of rare mounts there. I especially like the guy by the statue in the murloc suit ^_^

Hrm, are you standing in the harbour?

I expected them to come through the front door..... not off the boat

TICH REPRESENT WOOT

[robodin]

At least in the EU, the scourge invasion seems to have ended abruptly. No zones are under attack & nor does the scourge invasion boss spawn in Strathome any longer. Sad day for my EZ-rep scheme

[Synthaxx]

Screenshot of Sylvanas, and her underlings:

[etaber]

Has anyone checked Darnassus? That was the other city to be razed according to the rumors.

[Synthaxx]

Hmm, is anyone hearing the audio associated with this:

"Herald of the Lich King yells: ARGH! THIS SMALL VICTORY WILL AVAIL YOU NOTHING! COME! COME TO NORTHREND. MY MINIONS ARE WAITING, AND THEY ARE HUNGRY...."

Or is it just me that can't? I can hear Sylvanas, as well as Thrall, and Garrosh, but not the Heralds one. Anyone else?
