Chapter Five: Civil War

October, 633

Alliance

• Uuna, the spirit of the young draenei girl, was finally able to be put to rest by Velameestra Windrunner and Remnii with some help from Talath Dawnsworn in the Ethereal Plane.
• Victor Prestor was rescued after a successful ambush on his accompanying black dragon forces that had been lured down to the Redridge Mountains. None of the forces, including the twin black dragons Furia and Insidia, were left alive. Wrathion and two of his cohorts: Lee Hale and Fahrad were found to have been tailing the black dragons, and they were given leave to go to Karazhan so that they could focus on uncovering information on Onyxia and other black dragons in the area.
• The party fled to the outskirts of Andorhal. Velameestra, Uther, Remnii, and Gil went to the tomb of Uther the Lightbringer so that Uther could commune with his namesake. It was revealed that the friar that presided over his tomb was, in fact, the very man that had killed him years ago, but who had since lived in complete penitence. After Uther the Lightbringer returned to the Shadowlands, Uther Menethil showed the friar compassion and kindness much in the same way Uther the Lightbringer had, which seemingly lifted a weight from his soul.
• The group arrived in the square of Andorhal pursuing a lead on a vampyr named Sigilith Avernicious just in time to witness the tail end of an altercation between a man named Hedanis Poisonbloom and some of the local men who were accusing him of being a vampyr (though Gil later identified him as actually being a disguised Sayaad). It had earned the attention of the Scarlet Crusade in the area, namely the Ashbringer, and quickly devolved into a fight. With the intervention of the party, as well as Darion Mograine and other members of the Torchbearers, the two elves were saved and the Scarlet Crusade was forced to retreat, but not before Velameestra had quietly called the Ashbringer "Arator" after recognizing his prayer of contrition.
• Sigilith and Hedanis were held in custody by Annibeth Lansing, and while Gil tailed them to listen in to the meeting, it became apparent that Annibeth had been sympathetic to the Torchbearers, but could no longer give them sanctuary with their identities being known to the Crusade. They were asked to leave, but Gil later made himself known to the Torchbearers so they could meet with the rest of his group.
• A Darkspear troll named Zabra Hexx was in the company of the Torchbearers, and he had a tearful moment with Seria upon realizing the Darkspear hadn't been completely destroyed.

• Zar'Kaa was visited by the spirit of Bru'kan, who had followed Seria's prayers for protection of the Reuniter on their voyage. Bru'kan decided to come to help guide Zar'Kaa, and seemingly took up residence in his spear, which imbued it with shamanic abilities.
• Azgadaan permanently took on a new face and a new name, Sol'chi, so that he could further himself from his father and the bounties that were out for him.
• The war band helped to deflect a naga attack on the Reuniter and the pirate ships commanded by admiral Hooktusk and captain Eudora, and in the process discovered the naga sea witch, Zar'jira, was collecting prisoners to be taken back to the former Darkspear island of First Home.
• The sea witch Zar'jira was defeated with the aid of naga that had arrived on behalf of their queen to retrieve the scepter she was using. Her ultimate plan had been to summon the frost lord, Ahune, in order to free the seas and eventually defeat the naga queen, Azshara, but she was unsuccessful.
• First Home was preserved in an eternal winter to calm the volcanic activity that had been repressed by Zar'jira, instead of allowing the island to be destroyed.
