Bleeding the Mountain

Bleeding the Mountain is the codename for a series of armed operations between various private sector groups and chartered Alliance and Horde military organizations in the Stonetalon Mountains of Kalimdor. It began as a minor conflict between Kaldorei militaries and Goblin corporations, and escalated rapidly into a full-scale land battle. Due to the political status of Azeroth months after the events of the Siege of Orgrimmar, the conflict was unofficially supported by several Horde and Alliance armed corps. Notwithstanding that the non-aggression pact was acknowledged almost unanimously by parties representing the Alliance and Horde worldwide, Operation: Bleeding the Mountain was treated as a skirmish between self-interested corporate parties and associated militaries rather than strict faction versus faction conflict.

Escalation of Force
A series of stand-offs between the Goblin-owned Megabucks Trading Company and the Kaldorei organization known as the Hand of the Goddess resulted in catastrophic property damage and numerous fatal and non-fatal injuries on both sides of the dispute.
