Objectives

Deliver the letter to High Overlord Saurfang at Orgrimmar.

•  [To Saurfang of the Horde] (provided)

Description

You are now, and forever will be, a Knight of the Ebon Blade, <name>, but know this: you were once a hero of the Horde.

<Darion stares at you.>

This order must establish allies for itself if it is to survive. You must represent the Knights of the Ebon Blade to the Horde.

On the platform, southeast of me, is a portal to Orgrimmar. Take this letter, given to me on your behalf by Lord Fordring, and deliver it to High Overlord Saurfang. Use the portal.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 1,700 XP
• +6000 reputation with Orgrimmar

Progress

You bring me a letter, death knight?

Let me see it.

Completion

Fordring... Yes, I know him well. If any other man or orc asked me for such a favor I would have killed you where you stood. Fordring, though, is an honored hero among orcs.

Very well, Death Knight, We accept you as a member of the Horde, and embrace your order as allies.

For the Horde!

Notes

Players will find themselves outside the gates of a very unfriendly Orgrimmar. Any and all NPCs will show their displeasure and call for a rope, spit or throw rotten food such as an Apple or Banana:

• My family was wiped out by the Scourge! MONSTER!
• Murderer!
• Traitorous dog!
• Looks like we're going to have ourselves an execution.
• You disgust me.
• GET A ROPE!
• <NPC name> throws a rotten apple at <name>.
• <NPC name> throws a rotten banana at <name>.
• <NPC name> spits on <name>.

Completion with Garrosh Hellscream

Eitrigg is alive because of this paladin. He would have been executed had Lord Fordring not broken him out of Stratholme.

Tirion Fordring, to have sacrificed everything to save the life of an orc... Indeed, this is a rare event.

Yes. For Tirion Fordring and for Eitrigg! We will accept you as a member of the Horde and your order as allies.

Blood and honor! For the Horde!
