Valiance Expedition

The Valiance Expedition was the main army of the Alliance in Northrend, moving against the Scourge and unified under King Varian Wrynn's command. Forces on the front lines were under the command of Highlord Bolvar Fordragon. These allied forces were also represented in the battlegrounds located on the Strand of the Ancients and Isle of Conquest, where they waged war against the Warsong Offensive. The Expedition joined forces with other allied forces that had established themselves throughout Northrend, thereby uniting into the Alliance Vanguard.
==Background==
===Borean Tundra===
Valiance Keep is the the headquarters of the main armies of the Alliance in Northrend under the personal command of King Varian Wrynn. General Arlos commands the keep itself. It is is one of the two primary ports of entry for the Alliance in Northrend, the other being Valgarde. The headquarters is besieged from outside the walls by the Scourge's nerubian armies, and from within the Cult of the Damned and the San'layn attempt to undermine the Alliance command structure.
===Howling Fjord===
The Valiance Expedition helped build up ValgardeExploring Azeroth: Northrend, pg. 18 and became the second of the two Alliance entrances to Northrend, led by Vice Admiral Keller. It is periodically attacked by a group of vrykul and their worgs called Dragonflayer Invaders and Dragonflayer Worgs, and by Proto-dragon riders called Dragonflayer Raiders raining fire from the sky. Westguard Keep issituated atop the cliffs on the western side of Howling Fjord and is led by Captain Adams.

===Dragonblight===
High Commander Halford Wyrmbane led the Alliance forces in the region from Wintergarde Keep. The keep serves as the headquarters for the 7th Legion. It's under siege by the Scourge forces that had taken surrounding village, while Naxxramas hovers in the skies outside. The Expedition defeated Thel'zan the Duskbringer, formerly the treacherous priest Inigo Montoy, who was given the phylactery of Kel'Thuzad which — as it was not destroyed — allowed the Archlich to regain corporeal form. Without problem, they made contact with the local tuskarr.
===Grizzly Hills===
From Westfall Brigade Encampment, the Alliance must fight the vrykul, Wolf Cult and the Venture Company. Captain Gryan Stoutmantle and People's Militia from Westfall lead the encampment. Brugar Stoneshear of the Explorer's League is researching Thor Modan.
