An Unholy Alliance

My Lady, You know very well what it is we are offering. The opportunity for you to take the Barrens and the lands beyond is a great one. We simply want your aid in return. By aid we mean nothing more than your giving us the freedom to take action in the area. Please, allow us to discuss this further. We have great power and are willing to share with those wise enough to join us. I will remain outside Razorfen Downs for the time being. Best Regards, Ambassador Malcin

I recognize the insignia on this scroll, <name>. You found this on that crone who reigns over Razorfen Kraul? Interesting. The Scourge aren't content with one continent it seems. This Ambassador Malcin--the one who wrote the note--is one of the Scourge's plagued servants, a human diplomat to the kingdom of Lordaeron before things... changed. If the Scourge are trying to gain a foothold in Kalimdor, then it is up to us to act.

Malcin claims he is outside Razorfen Downs. This ambassador must be slain--his mission a failure in the eyes of the Lich King. His presence there does explain much of what we've discovered about the area--some of the quilboar have grown frightfully powerful while showing signs of the Plague in their own way. Truly that must be a sign of some sort of deal they've struck. Find Malcin and slay him, <name>. Return to me after the deed is done.

Good. Well done, <class>. Now that Malcin is dead, we can at least know that the Scourges advances will be halted. The Dark Lady thanks you for your efforts and wishes to reward you with a gift. Although we do not know the extent of the Scourges influence within the Downs, I am sure we will discover their plots soon enough.
