Description

Though we anticipated a strong Legion presence, our attacks on their camps have angered their forces even further than anticipated. Our forces rally on both land and in the skies above Thunder Totem in an attempt to regain our footing.

Do what you can to reduce their forces. Once we've secured Thunder Totem we'll begin our plan for a final attack.
