Korialstrasz,
I hope you and her Majesty are well and that the war in the north is not taxing you both too much. The war here in the south is beginning to heat up and much has happened here so I will get straight to my report.
The Dragonsworn Council gathered at Westbrooke Garrion in Elwynn Forest to plan our search for the elder wyrm Nilligos. Promotions were given to Ellliat Shortfuse and Leon Rosette to full dragonsworn and then we settled down to go over intelligence given by SI: 7.
Before we got far however the Garrison came under attack by a platoon of blue dragonkin and mage hunters in the service of Nilligos... the Battle of Westbrooke had begun!
Standing at my side were Dragonsworn Council members Anthus, Biorn, Elliat, and Leon. However facing us was one drakonoid, four dragonspawn, and five mage hunters! The battle looked grim as the dragonkin hit us hard, gravely wounding Biorn and Leon, and Anthus was flung into a tree! Meanwhile the Mage Hunters mercilessly hit us from afar with their spells. I was knocked unconcious during the battle, my wing being nearly broken.
The Dragonsworn Council was about to be broken right then and there...
That is until Indii arrived to reinforce us, hitting the blues from the rear with her area-of-effect spells. Her spells helped bring down the Mage Hunters and Biorn beheaded a dragonspawn. The Drakonoid still had us on the run however until Elliat threw a bowl of her special chilli which splattered all over it's head! Some of the chilli got into it's nostrils and mouth causing it to scream in agony. It ran toward Mirror Lake and we found it drowned there later, apparently it's need for water to douse the chilli rendering it mad.
One Dragonspawn escaped and we chased it in pursuit though Anthus had to carry me such was my wounds. We pursued it to Fargodeep Mine where we found a large group of Snobolds mining a strange blue crystal that practically hummed with magic according to Anthus. Such was it's draw to the mage that I was told it was hard to pull him away.
The snobolds attacked using their mining equipment in the attack. Their numbers were enough on their own to give us a dangerous challenge, there were 10 snobolds in all, but the crane claw and mining digger only made things even more dangerous for us.
I do not think we would have emerged from those mines if Moralynn hadn't found us and lent her healing magics, reinvigorating the group. This helped to turn the tide though it was a very near thing indeed.
Pressing on we emerged from the Fargodeep Mine through a long passage and found ourselves outside the entrance of Jasperlode Mine! We had travelled underneath the breadth of Elwynn Forest!
We hid as overhead we heard the flapping of wings and the roar of a dragon. In the distance we could hear the rough voices of dragonkin. We had found Nilligos' base in Elwynn Forest. Our wounds were too great however to press on. We took the intel we had gained and we withdrew to prepare our assault.
Now I have called a council of war to make use of the information we have gathered. We must decide how best to take on Nilligos and to protect the Spell-Loom.
More reports as events warrant.
-Rublestrasza, Matron of the Dragonsworn Council.
