First meeting Lord Aras Ardalan, Marquis of Stonewind, in the spring of 633 K.C., the two become close acquaintances and professional colleagues through their work in the Magical Enforcement Bureau of the Kingdom of Stormwind’s Ministry of Magical Affairs. Taking notice of Abighail’s prowess for aristocratic politics and other desirable virtues, such as being professional with a hard-working, can-do, mentality while remaining lady-like all the same, the Lord cordially invited her to join him among his court as the Baroness of Greenstown within the County of Westerport.
