Support of the Holy League

The following document was written in reaction to Merridyth Marwyn's Denouncement of the Holy League following the March of the Highlands.

''Citizens of the Grand Alliance,

''His Majesty, King Varian Wrynn, has declared an armistice with the Horde. An armistice is not a declaration of peace. The nations of the Grand Alliance are by legal means still at war with the New Horde. The armistice was called in offering of peace on the Grand Alliance's terms to aid the New Horde under Vol'jin in the reconstruction of their lands for the sake of the innocent civilians of the Horde. Make no mistake that open conflict shall be immediately resumed should the Horde fail to keep their word and launch attacks on Alliance holdings.

''In regards to the Holy League, is it aggression to fortify the holy sites of the Alliance? Is it wrong to station knights for humanitarian and defensive purposes in the cradle of humanity, to aid the Kingdom of Stromgarde solidify its domain over a city that the Horde has no claim to? Is it wrong to mistrust the Horde and station troops in a city of men, women and children to deter them from advancing further and breaking the armistice set out by our good and noble king? Agents rogue and insubordinate to the Horde's pledge to uphold the armistice have besieged the city and razed it to the ground on their own terms, trumping up charges of Alliance aggression when no attack had been made on holdings of the Horde.

''Do not fall prey to those who would tear apart our Grand Alliance in a time where unity is needed most. The Alliance won the war against Garrosh Hellscream and graciously allowed Vol'jin to step in to reconstruct the Horde in a peaceful manner. Now we must win the peace and ensure that Alliance interests are not torn apart by those who would spit in the face of our good graces. I call upon all forces of the Alliance and Horde to bring to justice the rogue agents of the New Horde that thought it fitting to wield the Forsaken plague against Stormgarde's farms, lay siege to a city of innocents and raze it to the ground, slaying the noble defenders of the city for no purpose other than their own tactical gain and bloodlust in the Arathi Highlands.

''I support the Holy League in all of its ventures. Bishop Johannes Moorwhelp is right in his convictions within the Holy League and has carried out the will of the Holy Light in his defense of the innocence and charity to the Kingdom of Stromgarde.

''May the virtues guide our paths,

''Duke Maxen the Patient
