Next in the Andorhal line is The Depravity of the Forsaken.

I'm no military expert, but this battle looks to be in our favor. Our defenders are equally matched with their deathguards, but the farmers' militia has taken them by surprise from the rear. For the Alliance! Still, we should all do what we can to make sure that we win.
