Landing at the Scarlet Palisade

The Landing at the Scarlet Palisade, also known as the Battle of Calston Fields, was a small skirmish engagement between the vanguard of the Congregation of the Silver Hand's invasion force into Tirisfal and a small defensive rearguard unit of the Horde stationed at the Calston Estate. Although any actual fighting was rather limited during the skirmish, the Alliance's ability to quickly and decisively assert a strong presence in northern Tirisfal set a strong tone for the remainder of the campaign, thus cementing the foundation of the Crusade into Lordaeron.

Preface
In the weeks before the crusading forces came to Tirisfal, there has been much discussion by the Congregation of the Silver Hand on what their next step in the Quest for Turalyon would be. According to information obtained from the the Journal of Alleria Windrunner, Sir Turalyon and Lady Windrunner were greatly concerned with the safety of those who had been trapped alongside them when the retreating Alliance forces closed the portal to Azeroth from Draenor. With the world still heaving from the effects of Ner'zul's magic, the two seemed to believe that remaining on Draenor would be a death sentance for the Sons of Lothar and so sought to find an alternative route back to Azeroth. After several weeks of searching, Lady Windrunner was able to locate one of the few remaining portals that had been opened by Ner'zul. Unable to ascertain extactly where the portal lead, but also unwilling to wait and risk the lives of the Sons of Lothar, the two entered the portal along with a small cadre of volunteers from Honor Hold. Unfortunately, the portal became even more unstable as a result of the crossing and soon collapsed, leaving the whereabouts of the Turalyon and Alleria unknown.

Initially disheartened by the news, the Congregation breathed a collective sigh of sadness. Thankfully, the Grand Knight announced that there was still hope for the endeavor. Some nights beforehand a group of magi from the Stormwind Circle of Magi and the Kirin Tor approached Manstein and informed him of a battery of arcane experiments that they were currently running that could possibly locate Turalyon and Alleria, even if they were in the Twisting Nether. Unfortunately, the magic used for such divination required a very specific set of material reagents, including items of great emotional value and attachment of those being sought by the magic. With careful research, the scholars of the College of Canons were able to locate two items that would fit the requirements of the Magi to perform their magic; the Lion's Bastion and Windrunner's Tear.

The Lion's Bastion, a shield used by Turalyon for many years, is thought to be located within one of the many abandoned armories within the surface ruins of Lordaeron City.
