She decided to remain in the region and joined the Argent Dawn against the Scourge.

### The Shadowlands

Amitola would be captured by the Scarlet Crusade and taken to the Scarlet Monestary for torture and experimentation, as her captors wondered how the Plague affected Tauren.

During her capture, Amitola met and befriended the ghost of a child who haunted the halls, Ali, who aided Amitola's escape and showed her a way out of the Monestary.

Upon exiting however, Amitola found herself in the Shadowlands, where she struck by dark magic. She then was released from the Shadowlands and returned to Honor's Retreat where she decided to keep the magic a secret, as she was unsure what effect it had on her, if any.

### Assault on Fenris Isle

During the Assault on Fenris Isle conducted by the coalition forces of the Argent Dawn, Crimson Legion, Kirin Tor and Fenris Knights. The spirit Virgil attempted to aid Amitola and her squad through the catacombs beneath the Isle.  In the catacombs she aquired a Holy Blade of the Tyr's Guard, from a fallen Tyr's Guard.

Unfortunately, the magic laying in waiting within Amitola was a carefully planned trap, designed to cripple Virgil, which worked. Leaving the Squad at the mercy of a dark spirit known to them as Kay, who imprisoned them in the Shadowlands.

### Light's Hope Chapel

Pericipating in the 3rd and 4th Sieges of Lights Hope, Amitola has continued to aid the efforts of Squad 6 in the Eastern Plaguelands, demonstrating herself consistantly to be a strong, skilled and capable fighter.

Being a tauren brave equipped with a large amount of equipment, Amitola hasn't been able to match the speed of her colleagues, but remarkably was still capable of outrunning a ghoul horde, where fellow argents had been too slow and killed.
During a mission against the Scourge, Amitola used explosives to destroy 'The Grinder' a siege-tank employed by the Argent Dawn but that had been bogged and captured by the Scourge.
During the 4th Siege of Light's Hope, Amitola used a cannon to destroy an Obsidian Destroyer, she also battled the Four Horsemen of the Scourge including Lady Blaumeux, Thane Korth'azz, Sir Zeliek and Highlord Darion Mograine.
Having stood her ground among the Horseman, among her other achievements, she is highly regarded within the Argent Dawn.

### Ardent Watch Incident

Amitola and Squad 6 managed to uncover a Demonic plot to destroy the Argents at the Ardent Watch, using will-bent undead to decieve, murder and poison the argents there. After uncovering the plot and raising the alarm, Amitola fought in the battle that followed and was later promoted to Commander by Commander Pureheart after the watch's previous commander Alexander was slain in the battle.

## Characteristics and Appearance

Amitola usually making the mission the priority, and when not on a mission, is found happily relaxing or even sleeping in the open.

Amitola is easily identified by her blackened Mithril armour and unique Tyr's Guard blade. Her status and reputation among the Argent Tauren is equalled only by 'Teal'C' of Squad 1, and perhaps Malgron (Deceased).
