Battle for Nethergarde Mines

Setting
Following the recapture and assault of Nethergarde Keep, other key points in the regions of northern Blasted Lands were crucial in commanding the area, including the conquest of the decimated Nethergarde Mines which had been a valuable supply of Thorium for the Alliance war effort. With the Iron Horde's advance, the King called for any and all able units to intercept the bottle neck region of the Blasted Lands and to recapture the mine.

Recapture
On the late night of October 23rd 624 KC, the combined forces of the Silver Hand, the Quel'dorei of the Highguard, Dwarves from the Coldridge Clan and a small number of other militants, took up command of an assault on the mines, lead by a one Lt. Cerephel under Maraad's personal unit. The assaulting unit faced numerous Iron Horde attackers as well as Iron Horde technology within the mine, such as Iron-star Launchers, which were dispatched without issue.

Due to the nature of the mines, the unit had to divide, one team lead by a Sir Korvock Ashbane of the Stormwind's Silver Hand Chapter, the other team lead by a Dame Alwynen of the Quel'dorei chapter of the Silver Hand and belligerent of the Highguard. In addition to these units, a one 'Cerephel the Prime', a Draenei correspondant, provided direction and intelligence to the unit.

Following the divide, each unit faced various enemies, such as reanimated orcs and undead miners that had been genocided by the invading orcs and subsequently piled at the back of the mine.

In an effort to set the souls to rest, the paladin and militants under Sir Korvock Ashbane began a holy ritual, that ended in unleashing a curse upon them, a preventative defense mechanism placed on the mass grave by Iron Horde warlocks and dark shaman which caused for several of the unit for become posessed and strike out against their companions.

In addition, upon apprehending the turned allies, a large, matriarch spider descended upon the elves and their allies, causing strain and chaos. Though, ultimately, the Alliance won the day and cleansed the dead.

There is only one, recorded Alliance loss, that of Cerephel the Prime, whom sacrificed his life essence while dying, to bring peace to the dead and help nullify the darkness in the mines to allow for the others to finishing the blessing. His body was recovered, though it's unclear as to his present status as rumour runs rampant.
