Description
It is the will of the Lich King that drives us onward, {name}. None are more aware of this than death knights. Our very existence is intrinsically tied to his consciousness. Surely you have heard him speak to you - invading your thoughts... Can you hear him now? Perhaps it is too early for you. <Mograine closes his eyes and nods to an unseen host.> Yes, my lord. It will be done. {name}, you are to return to Death's Breach and report to Prince Valanar. The Lich King commands it!
