What Is Going On?

I was sent here under the auspices of Thrall. Do you actually think these buffoons could capture me? I allowed myself to be captured so that I could gather intelligence. <Gor'shak whispers.> The Princess of Ironforge has been kidnapped by Emperor Thaurissan. Princess Bronzebeard is in this very city! I bet old Magni's heart almost stopped when he heard that news. <Gor'shak laughs.> Shhh! Do you hear that? Guards coming! DEFEND YOURSELF!

That was a close call. They have been alerted to your presence... more will surely come.

So far, my communication with the dwarf, Kharan, in the cell across the hall, has been limited. I have, however, managed to convince him that I, rather -we- mean him no harm. Go speak with him and gather as much information about the Princess and her captors as possible. Take that information back to the Warchief. Thrall does not want the Princess harmed, but instead, has some grand plan laid out, which includes her being safely returned to Ironforge. Kharan already knows all of this... Go!

This is a chance for the Horde to change the political climate of our war torn world forever. Listen carefully, <name>. Failure of this mission is not an option.
