Description

We were neck deep in Scourge and Horde. The screams of the dying covered that field. It was torturous... unrelenting!

At some point my body gave out. I fell, only to be awoken by the Argent Crusade. They pulled me out of the Broken Front and brought me here. I'm not going to make it. Grant a dying soldier one last wish, <race>? Our base, the Skybreaker, flies high above Icecrown. It is there that you'll find my commanding officer, High Captain Bartlett. Tell him that I died a soldier of the Alliance.

Do not, repeat DO NOT accidentally fly into the wrong faction's airship. The guards will not be happy to see you.
And, I'm not sure if something changed, but I can confirm dying after falling from the ships. Once to escape the guards, once jumping down to the bottom of the Skybreaker, since I didn't realize the bottom was open... >.<
