Battle for Andorhal

The Battle for Andorhal was a three-way battle between the Forsaken, the Alliance, and the remaining Scourge forces in Andorhal.
==Origin==
With the Lich King defeated, the Alliance and Horde were able to claim separate portions of Andorhal and soon after began a crusade to claim the whole city, while the Scourge tried to keep their territory.http://www.worldofraids.com/topic/17034-cataclysm-hands-on-azeroth-forever-changed/ The Battle for Andorhal Over the course of the battle both Koltira Deathweaver and Thassarian send adventurers to deal with the remaining Scourge forces.Scourge First...

Upon meeting Ravensun, it is revealed that she is in reality Sylvanas Windrunner, who is aware of the truce between Koltira and Thassarian, and also their friendship which dated back to their service as death knights of the Scourge. Using the val'kyr, she resurrects slain Provincial Minutemen from the farmers' militia to recoup their casualties before sending agents of the Horde to eliminate Thassarian.Ace in the Hole Many of the recently created Forsaken TroopersBrother Against Brother (Western Plaguelands) and the Lesser Val'kyr — including the Val'kyr commander, Aradne — were slain by the Alliance adventurers.Val'kyr IncursionAradne (quest) Despite their valiant efforts however, the Alliance were forced to retreat from Andorhal; as they were unable to stand against the Forsaken's overwhelming numbers and the onslaught provided by Sylvanas' Scourge-like tactics.Ask CDev#Ask CDev Answers - Round 2 As Horde forces enter the Alliance camp, all they find is the slain body of Lurid, Thassarian's skeletal minion, and discover that Thassarian and the remaining Alliance forces have retreated from Andorhal. With Andorhal now controlled by the Forsaken, Sylvanas called Koltira to her. After Sylvanas berated Koltira about his "weakness" and criticized Arthas' failure to remove such weakness, a portal appears and a chain drags Koltira into the Undercity. Sylvanas planned to eliminate Koltira's compassion for Thassarian and ensure his loyalty is to the Horde and more specifically the Forsaken.The Reckoning (Western Plaguelands)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSlYXjYuCTg&feature=channel
