High Lords of Aurelia: War against the Horde

The following article is a transcript of events of the High Lords of Aurelia Meeting on the first day of August, of the year 10 AQWS. The meeting was a discussion of topics broaching the subject of an official declaration of war against the Horde, though primarily, against Warchief Sylvanas Windrunne, following the events during the War of the Thorns and the burning of Teldrassil.

Prelude
Whilst the War of the Thorns raged on, the Lord Militarum, Neo Starstrider, had sent several scouts to Ashenvale and Darkshore to watch the events unfold, so that Aurelia could better know if they would have to involve themselves in what would possibly be the Fourth War. Eridan Silverwood led teams of rangers to spy on the Horde movements, relaying info back to AURHICOM at regular intervals. What followed was Eridan laying several beacons created by Alexanya Moonfall that would allow an arcane projection of a map of Darkshore and Ashenvale.

As the Lord Militarum watched, so too did Primarch Linaly and several other war officers. They chose no action as Saurfang let civilians escape to safety, but quickly, their hopes were diminished.
