Post-Cataclysm Siege of Ironforge

The Post-Cataclysm Siege of Ironforge was an attack made by the New Horde upon Ironforge shortly after the Cataclysm as one of the first strikes of the newfound war between the Alliance and Horde.

How many more battles will be fought until peace is achieved? How many more brave men and women must die? He thought. At what cost indeed...
