Description

I can build you a shipyard. And not some wasteful piece of over-engineering like this place. But I'm going to need my blueprints. My work was confiscated when Gul'dan turned this harbor over to Admiral Knar. <Roark spits.> Gul'dan's green poison courses through Knar's veins. He's calling the shots from on high. We'll need to grapple up there to take him out.
