Lescovar Incident quest chain This quest chain is started from An Unsent Letter , found on the dead body of Edwin VanCleef in The Deadmines , at the culmination of The Defias Brotherhood series of quests . This quest chain will lead you into The Stockade , and expose some of the corrupt elements in Stormwind , remnants of VanCleef ' s plots . You can start this chain as early as level 16 , although you can acquire the Unsent Letter earlier than that . The Lescovar Incident . You were part of the party that slew Edwin VanCleef . Searching his body , you find a letter to Baros Alexston . You know of him , the City Architect of Stormwind . It ' s a letter to him , you decide to deliver it . Why not ? Alexston tells you some of how VanCleef ended up in hiding , seeking revenge against the nobles of Stormwind . It turns out that he has some just cause behind him : The nobles stiffed the Stonemasons guild after Stormwind was rebuilt . As leader of the guild , VanCleef refused the bribes the nobles offered him out of loyalty to the rest of the Stonemasons . VanCleef is dead , but the plans he had in motion are not . Alexston asks you to speak to VanCleef ' s lieutenant , Bazil Thredd , currently held in the Stormwind Stockade . For that , you first have to talk to the Warden Thelwater . You get to the Stockade , and find the warden trying to manage a crisis . The inmates , it seems , are rioting . All the cell doors are open , and the guards are doing their best just to contain the situation . Bazil Thredd has led the prisoners in this riot . The warden doesn ' t trust you , but sees any number of useful outcomes : So . . . go in , he tells you . But bring back Bazil ' s head . You go in . It ' s a real short conversation - Bazil and his prisoners attack you before you can get two words out . Defending yourself , you kill them . To satisfy the warden , you bring back his bloody trophy . The warden is mollified by your actions , and tells you about a visitor that came to Bazil regularly in the last couple months , someone named Maelik . Warden Thelwater writes up a description of the visitor for you , that you bring back to Alexston . Baros has no idea who this person might be , but knows someone in that owes him a favor . He might be able to tell you more . Master Mathias Shaw of SI : 7 reads the description and recognizes this ' Maelik ' as an assassin , currently under the employ of Lord Gregor Lescovar under the name Marzon . Master Shaw mulls the situation over . Lescovar clearly has ties to the Defias , but you ' ve killed the primary witnesses to that . Even without his being a noble , it would hard to convict him . More help is needed , he decides . Somewhat reluctantly , he sends you to Elling Trias , the " Master of Cheese " in the Trias Cheese shop . Trias listens to your tale , and agrees that any justice meted out in this affair will be by less than legal means . He tells you to talk to Tyrion , a gnome who has been keeping tabs on Lescovar for the last few weeks . It turns out that Tyrion had contingencies for something like this already planned , just . . . not this soon . It seems that Trias and Tyrion suspected Lescovar of ties to Twilight ' s Hammer , but the Defias Brotherhood is not a good sign either . He ' s going to have to outfit his Spybot , so Tyrion asks you to get the remaining parts for the disguise : some silk , and a couple of apples . The silk , you can understand - a robe . The apples ? Tyrion is an engineer , by definition not quite as sane as the rest of us . You leave the question unasked . You return with the items , and Tyrion gives you a final briefing before he sends Spybot in . While you were busy on your errand , he sent Marzon a message that Lescovar wanted to see him , and will be sending Spybot , disguised as a priestess ( ah ! apples ! ) , to lure Lescovar out . If all goes well , Lescovar will come out , dismiss the guards , and have what he thinks is a private chat in the garden with his assassin . Your job : to listen to their conversation . If you catch wind of Defias talk , you are to kill them both before the guards return . Things go off pretty much as planned . You overhear their discussion ; they do indeed talk about a Defias attack . They catch you listening in , and attempt ( unsuccessfully ) to ' silence ' you . You return to Trias and report what took place . He thanks you , and has you report to Shaw that Lescovar has been dealt with . Shaw thanks you as well . And it seems Baros Alexston dropped by , saying he wanted a chat with you as well . Shaw advises you that when you talk to Alexston , you leave out the bit where it was you that killed Lescovar . . . . and to try not to mention Trias at all - ever - if you can help it . Trias thought Shaw would send you to some noble or another for a commendation . It turns out that it is Alexston , instead . . . In light of your recent deeds , Alexston asks you to deliver to the king a report he has prepared about the Defias Brotherhood . He has no doubt that you will be commended for your deeds . And indeed king Varian Wrynn lauds your successes and gives you a princely gift . Notes . This quest series can be started as early as level 16 , and the ring that is the reward has no level requirement ( being a quest reward ) . That makes this ring one of the best available at this level ( and for many levels thereafter ) , and is often considered a twink item . As noted above , the quest chain , The leads into this chain .
