So it was that the judgement was passed; the dragons of life would war upon the dragons of death. Life and Death would meet at last in open conflict, all hope of redemption gone.
And the sky streaked red.

Description
With Deathwing otherwise occupied, we have a grim and daunting task ahead of us, under charge of the queen herself. The black dragonflight is to be wiped out. I would welcome your aid in this, if it is offered. As soon as you are ready, I will send you with the next flight joining the attack.
