Timelime - After the death of Arthas but before Cataclysm
After the fall of the lich king in Icecrown Citadel, the argent crusade looked towards other undead threats in the lands of Azeroth. Hearing news of a small undead outbreak in the Red Ridge Mountains the crusade dispatched crusaders to investigate the matter. After several weeks of hearing nothing from the crusaders or anyone in Red Ridge Tirion has decided to send a highly skilled paladin to resolve the issue.
Fryloc arrived in Red ridge after a days hard riding from Stormwind, He had read the message from the Highlord with growing concern and had left early the next morning. During his ride he had spoken to villages in Gold-shire and the east vale logging camp hoping to hear good news. Unfortunately all he had heard was bad news. Rumors of an undead stronghold being build in the ruins of stone watch keep were emerging. Fryloc arrived in the deserted town of lake shire as dusk settled over the once peaceful region. Weapon drawn Fryloc searched the village and found nothing. Taking shelter in the inn he set up a barricade at the front door and sat down on the bed to think.

Fryloc stood up, he would investigate Stone watch keep in the morning. Gathering his items he left the inn and headed south west back towards the border of Elwynn Forrest. Approaching the cross roads he saw a small band of undead heading towards Duskwood. "In the name of the light they have prisoners" He muttered quietly. Quickly choosing the most simple option for rescuing the several captured townsfolk Fryloc through a rock into a nearby bush ahead of the group. As three of the undead went to investigate he charged the remaining 4 undead. "Take this you evil bastards" He roared smashing his hammer into the head of the apparent leader of the group.
The fight was over quickly, Fryloc was adapt at slaying undead and killed the 4 guards quickly and turned to face the returning 3. He blasted the first with a holy shock before turning and using his hammer to stun the 2nd. As the 3rd undead drew its weapon he had already consecrated the ground beneath it bringing it too its knees before smashing its head in. Finally he broke the arms and legs of the stunned undead to prevent its escape. Fryloc turned and freed the captured villages.
"Where are you people from?" He asked the noble looking man. "We are from the town of Lakeshire and thank you for your assistance paladin."
"What happened, why are there scourge soldiers here and where are the rest of your people" he inquired.
"Some weeks back they simply assaulted the town, we had no warning and our guards were unprepared for the vast numbers, we lost the town within a day. Everyone who was not killed was taken to Stone Watch to be kept until turned. A few weeks ago though some crusaders came and attacked the keep. We were all moved north into the caves and kept there until recently. Apparently Darkshire is also under siege. We were being taken to the new stronghold of Raven hill to be turned into undead."
Fryloc Finished questioning all the captured villagers and led them west into Elwynn Forrest. He arrived in Eastvale as the sun was rising and sent a message to the Highlord letting him know of the situation and requesting more men for the mission.
