Battle of Hillsbrad

Stand at attention while addressing me, <class>. I am under direct command of Varimathras. We are to quell the human infestation until our apothecaries can develop the new plague. Our information leads us to believe that the town of Hillsbrad is vulnerable to attack. Your first assignment is aimed at disrupting their food supply and infrastructure. Travel west. Raid the northernmost farms of Hillsbrad Fields. Make sure that the landowners, Farmer Ray and Farmer Getz, are executed as well.

At ease, <class>. I see you have returned from battle. My sources tell me you performed well on the Hillsbrad front.

Word of the attack on the northern farms has the townsfolk panicked. Most excellent. Our Deathstalkers report peasants fleeing to the fields in southern Hillsbrad. The fools think they can hide in the orchards and escape their doom. Prove them wrong, <name>. Return to Hillsbrad Fields and seek out the cowering peasants. Lay waste to them in the name of our Dark Lady. Dismissed!

The grip of death is tightening around the town of Hillsbrad. The battle goes well.

The humans of Hillsbrad have been putting up unexpected resistance. The problem appears to be that the townsfolk are being armed by the local blacksmith. We need to shut down all supply lines. Your mission will be to execute Blacksmith Verringtan. Slay his apprentices as well. While there, bring back a shipment of iron from their stockpile. The supplies will come in handy when we are done with the conquering of Hillsbrad and begin razing Southshore.

Mission accomplished, <class>. And carried out quite skillfully, I might add.

The town of Hillsbrad is in disarray and we believe it will soon fall. We must, however, persist in our ruthlessness until the human scum are wiped from the foothills for eternity. Despite their overwhelming losses, the humans rally around their leadership and keep fighting. We must eliminate their leader, Magistrate Burnside, as well as the town council. Destroy their revered political document as well, the Hillsbrad Proclamation. And while you're at it, steal the town registry.

News of your glories in Hillsbrad traveled fast. You have done well, <class>.

The Hillsbrad Town Registry indicates that the Azureload Mine is under Alliance control. Furthermore, the mine is a prime source of iron ore for the Alliance armories. Even though we've struck a decisive blow to the town of Hillsbrad, the Alliance still supports and protects the Azureload Mine fervently. The mine lies due south of Hillsbrad. Go there and slay the foreman, a human by the name of Bonds. Kill his miners as well. That should send a clear message to the Alliance.

The Dark Lady will be pleased when she learns that she has a new mine from which she can arm her soldiers.

Dwarves aiding the humans? Damn those filthy little beasts. We shall test the strength of the so-called Alliance. We'll see how anxious those little ankle-bashers are to help the humans once they feel our wrath. We know exactly where their stronghold is in this territory. They have established a barracks in southeastern Hillsbrad along Thoradin's Wall called Dun Garok. The final mission of this battle is to lay siege on Dun Garok, <class>. Captain Ironhill, their leader, must die.

Your actions on the battlefield are worthy of the highest praise.

Because you fought with such valor and perseverance in the Battle of Hillsbrad, I have written this commendation, extolling your heroics in combat for the high command to recognize. Take this sealed commendation to Varimathras in the Undercity. Go with pride, <class>.

So you are the infamous <class> who struck such a decisive blow against the Alliance forces in the Hillsbrad Foothills? Word of your glorious exploits traveled quickly to the Undercity. You have quite a future in the Dark Lady's ranks if you continue to show such leadership and expertise in battle. While our primary threat is the Lich King's Scourge army descending from the north, the human "problem" continues to impede our battle plans. You, however, have shown that the humans can and will fall.
