Unprepared Pt. 1
[This letter was received shortly before Pilgrim's Bounty by Lauren Kensington at Westguard Keep after her return from Draenor. It was sealed with the mark of the Wildhammer Clan.]
Dearest Lauren,
Imagine my relief when I got your package with your "Draenor Journals" inside! Praise the Light you came back from the expedition with just a few broken bones. There wasn't a doubt in my mind no Iron Horde would be a match for your hammer and shield!
Your new allies, the Templars, sound interesting. I hope I meet them someday - we can sit by the fire and tell stories and raunchy jokes over a barrel or two of ale. Just like the old days, eh?
Speaking of the old days, my brother will be visiting me soon. I'll be back at Hearthglen, though - normally I'd be at the chapel, but, well...you know how Khazarath feels about Light's Hope. To be fair, some of the Order aren't too fond of him either. You remember what happened last time. But you know what I always say, us Redbraids stick together. You'd think after a few years past Icecrown, people'd remember the Ebon Blade are on our side.
Ah, but look at me ramblin'. I'm glad you're back home, Lauren. Light knows I missed you. Come back up here sometime once you get yourself sorted. Highlord Fordring comes by every few weeks or so pacing around and looking all grim and serious, and I think it's catching. I could stand to see a sunnier face.
Light bless and keep you, and may the ancestors watch over you, Kem Redbraid

[The next letter was received by Lauren two days after the first, urgently delivered to her by a Wildhammer gryphon rider.]
Lauren-
You need to come back to Hearthglen as soon as you can. Khazarath's got important news and it doesn't bode well. We need you.
-Kem
