Description

<name>,

My father lived by the sword, as you do. He taught me that if we truly want peace for our kingdom then we must be willing to fight to preserve it, as you have fought.

You have demonstrated valor of the highest order - bravery unsurpassed in the ranks of the Alliance. Valor that must be recognized.

During Legion Remix this quest shows on the Stormwind map as available but none of the NPC's will give the quest.

When you arrive, faction leaders, leaders of battlegrounds, and some pvp vendors are standing along the edges of the king's room. You are asked stand in a circle in the center of the room. Upon entering the crowd erupts in applause.
Transcript of the audio that Anduin says:
<name>! Please, step forward.
We have gathered here to recognize your valor in battle. Turn and approach your peers.
Before you stands a true champion who has won many great victories in the name of the Alliance.
The ancient weapon they wield is a symbol of hope to those we have sworn to protect.
So come, friends, lend me your voices! Join me in honoring <name>!
For the Alliance!
