Warning: Do not lose this letter. Reports indicate that it may only drop the first time you defeat VanCleef. People who have killed VanCleef again, whether they had dropped the quest or not, have reported being unable to get the letter a second time.

The Unsent Letter is the first quest in the Lescovar Incident quest chain. It begins with  [An Unsent Letter], which drops from Edwin VanCleef.

Objectives

Deliver the Letter to the City Architect to Baros Alexston in Stormwind.

•  [An Unsent Letter] (provided)

Description

Searching Edwin VanCleef's person, you discover, among other things, an unsent letter. It is addressed to Baros Alexston, the City Architect of Stormwind, City Hall, Cathedral Square.

It appears to be recently written and sealed.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 875 XP
• 7
• +50 reputation with Stormwind

Progress

Yes? Is there something I can help you with?

Completion

Edwin VanCleef, you say? I would as much expect a letter from my dead grandmother... So you've killed him then? Pardon me in saying, but I'm somewhat surprised. He was a peerless fighter in his younger years. Let's see what he finds the need to write to me about after so many years.

<Baros peruses the letter.>

Edwin... I see the years haven't changed you a bit, an idealist as ever, and a romantic. He doesn't care who he hurts, <name>. Revenge has consumed him. But then, I'm not sure I can blame him.

Notes

• Baros Alexston is inside the City Hall, on the northeast side of the Cathedral Square in Stormwind.
• Though the Defias Brotherhood quest chain is the usual incentive for entering the Deadmines and killing Edwin VanCleef, it is not a prerequisite.
• Prior to this quest's removal in retail, completing it would reward the  [Deadmines] achievement (if for some reason actually killing Edwin VanCleef did not reward it).
