==Letter==
He wrote information concerning the abilities of clerics in Northshire Abbey.
:Knowledge is the key to understanding, and it is with the hope that by having knowledge of our powers, you will understand how we may best serve the Kingdom. I pray that the words to follow will assist you in our quest of freeing Azeroth from the threat of the Orcish hordes. Concerning the abilities possessed by the clerics from the Abbey, I am most knowledgeable. The conjurers, however, have refused to divulge their secrets, and therefore my understanding of the intricacies of their magiks is not as complete. God speed in your fight.

==Retcon==
*According to older accounts, the aged Alonsus Faol was the Abbot of Northshire Abbey himself and fled with the surviving citizens of Stormwind to Lordaeron.Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness manual, Legends of the Land, Sire Uther LightbringerWarcraft II: Tides of Darkness manual, A Brief History of the Fall of Azeroth, The Alliance of Lordaeron However, Arthas: Rise of the Lich King later changed Faol's backstory as to never participating in the First War as he was in Lordaeron. Thus the identity of the abbot is unknown, and it is possible that he perished when the orcs razed the Abbey.
