Post-Siege Dragon Crisis

The Post-Siege Dragon Crisis began when a dragon devastated the northern holdings of the County of Eastvale shortly after the Dragonmaw Subjugation. The First Regiment of the Stormwind Army was the first to respond to the attack, discovering the dragon and rallying for one of the first dragon hunts since the war against the Cult of the Twilight's Hammer.



Village Ablaze
On February 6, 32 L.C., the lords of Eastvale lost contact with their fiefs north of Stone Cairn Lake. They summoned the First Regiment of the Elwynn Brigade to investigate. When the regiment arrived the next day, smoke could be seen rising from the north. Fearing the worst, the troops led by Marshal Maxen Montclair, Captain Grayloth Ke'tar and Lieutenant Theodora De Vries marched on the lake.

The carnage that greeted the regiment forces chilled the disposition of the new recruits. The murloc settlements that once flourished on the coast of the lake had all but been wiped out - scorched ground, blackened murloc tools and torched trees were all that remained. As the men delved deeper into the woods, the forest canopy churned and groaned as a fierce wind storm buffeted the trees. Dodging flying branches, leaves, and even evading falling trees, the regiment made its way to the northern fiefs that supplied Eastvale with its grain.

When the regiment arrived, the fiefs were burnt beyond recognition. Burning buildings of clay and wood crumbled and the once rich grain fields were reduced to ash. Searching the ruins, the regiment found a terrified man huddled beneath a water cart. After the man warded the soldiers to flee, he revealed the cause of the destruction: A blue dragon.

As if called by its name, the dragon descended from the clouds, stirring a buffeting hurricane that sent fire, debris and whatever else wasn't bolted down flying every which way. Seeing the situation lost, Lord Maxen called for an immediate retreat. Dodging dragon fire and claw, the regiment eventually lost the dragon's interest as they fled south. Only when the dragon returned to its newly claimed roost did the soldiers make way for Eastvale.

The regiment called for an immediate evacuation of Eastvale and its surrounding villages, returning to Stormwind bearing news of the dragon attack.
