it was through no fault of the elven regent that the alliance and their king had been pushed to the brink of their collective TOLERANCE. quartering members of the horde whom anduin sought, however, was enough to draw them to quel'thalas. the revitalized ban'dinoriel would have proven an effective BARRICADE were it not for the fact that the sunwell - once the quel'dorei's greatest fount of power - was now INFUSED with the light; and as such, so too were the gate's magical defenses. it took a considerable deal of effort, but anduin's holy prowess enabled him to NULLIFY the barrier in its entirety.
before the entrance to sin'dorei lands, he stood; BLEEDING patience and concern alike. from features twisted and DEFORMED into an uncharacteristic scowl, anduin’s demand emerged, “in the name of the alliance - in the name of the light - i COMMAND that you stand down. my aim is not to butcher a people who have already seen more than their fair share of bloodshed, but i will have no other choice if you do not HEED me now.” his army stood at the ready. soldiers, mages, archers and priests were all prepared to engage their foes, and several gunships loomed in the distance beyond them. anduin did not come all this way just to FORGO his mission.
