Passed from person to person, the tales of Feralas and downtrodden Camp Ataya eventually reach the Valley of Strength.
A young orc stood in front of a small crowd, clad in neglected armour and stinking of sweat. A fist is clenched into a tight, mean ball and raised in the air.
“They’re making a mockery of you! They’re making a mockery of me! They’re making a mockery of this peace!”
There’s a quiet grumble of agreement from some in the crowd.
“Four days ago now, they attacked Camp Ataya. They attacked tauren children who were fetching water.”
His voice was filled with a deep bitterness as he spoke, his words were nothing short than pure venom. His clenched fist swings down into an open palm.
“They cannot be trusted, they cannot be bargained with. These Black-Moon-Demons, they will come for us all!” The young orc punctuated his remark by spitting on the floor, that’s what he thought of these black eyed monsters.
It was clearly getting too much of a scene, grunts were beginning to notice and make their way over.
“It’ll be Ataya first, and then Mojache. And then the Crossroads. And what then? It won’t be distant tauren children being killed. It will be your mothers, your children!”
Clearly concerned, the assorted crowd looks about itself, looking for some form of comfort from this wretched news. And it comes, but in the form of grunts dispersing them all.
“That’s enough, Kurog”, one of the more grizzled looking grunts grumbles. “Back to your drink now.”
The crowd is swiftly dispersed and the trouble-maker sent away. But still, the thoughts of Camp Ataya lingered.
What’s happening in Feralas?
