Master Mathias Shaw says: Posing as me, Detheroc is whispering lies about the Horde in the ears of the new king of Stormwind. He must be stopped before it is too late.
Master Mathias Shaw says: Tethys will get us to the harbor by sea. We will have to stealth through to SI:7. We cannot fly in; Detheroc has snipers on the rooftops and wanted posters up with all of our facesDude, Detheroc literally looks like you... I don't think your face is on those wanted posters
I must say the voting gets kinda reduced when I have most of the council out on missions.

Description
Like many dreadlords, Detheroc cannot help but gloat. He was careless and I overheard many of his plans while I was held captive. With your leave, I would like to underscore the gravity of the situation in Stormwind. The fate of Azeroth hangs in the balance. But for all of that, I have a simple plan: get 'em.
