Resource struggles in the Northlands

[Ulrezaj]

The bristling howl of Northrend's ice cold winds deterred Ulrezaj from ever going to Northrend, but now the call was appropriate for time, setting, and place. The ceasefire had begun...

New threats emerged at the Dark Portal, but seemed easy to dispatch, perhaps a little too easy. Recent reports on Horde bulletins have indicated that in the Northrend, off the coast of somewhere near Sholazar Basin, an orcish keep lead drilling operations. This keep, during the time of Garrosh, had funded him with valuable resources that made Orgrimmar into the fortified city it is today. Ulrezaj frowned slightly, orcs didn't know how true war should be fought if the loas were to be abandoned in favor of wartime machinery.

A sickly, chilling wind from the peak of Icecrown descended over the land. Fog and smoke from refineries blotted out the pivotal isle that brought the Horde into an industrial age. Ulrezaj narrowed his eyes, he could see what seemed like Alliance vessels there, too. For a near moment, Ulrezaj felt like abandoning his campaign here. He turned around on the Horde warship that escorted him and tripped over a deactivated Widow Mine. Ulrezaj eyeballed the pet. Seemingly undisturbed, Blackfuse has gladly given it over with only a few lashings necessary during the siege. Recent days revealed that siege warfare has been critical in breaking opponent's lines.

Heading towards the captain's quarters from the bow of the ship to complain about the intolerable weather conditions, Ulrezaj was startled to hear the yelp of a guttural orcish lookout with a spying glass. "Men, to arms! Alliance on the shores."

Ulrezaj blinked, "On the shores?"

Hordes of peons let out cries of anguish. He knew they would not last long on the Isle of Conquest.

"We're being surrounded, we'll have to run aground if we don't wanna drown!"

Ulrezaj turned to he peons, many were now being directed by sea dogs to abandon ship by the life boats. He smirked, the peons might make it after all. Remembering his great purpose, Ulrezaj summoned shadow energies and brisked himself for a no doubt gruesome conflict.
