- There are many reports that the necropolises have left the major cities.
- In Stormwind, Varian Wynn, Bolvarr, and a few other nobles are standing under a tent in the Harbor. They are offering quite a bit of new flavor text when you talk to them.

Thrall is also missing from his room on Sen'jin. Dunno if it's linked or not.

SCRIPT OF ORG ATTACK
Garrosh Hellscream says: Thrall… Warchief… your armies await your command. Let me lead them to Northrend to remove this undead menace!
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Yes, Thrall. The time has come to kill Arthas. You can take my grand apothecary with you. His knowledge will be invaluable against whatever the Scourge will throw at you.
Grand Apothecary Putress says: It would be an honor, Dark Lady.
Thrall says: What say you, Saurfang?
High Overlord Saurfand says: Warchief, it is clear that Northrend represents the gravest threat to our people, and that we must act against it. But this foe is unlike any other. Caution must be advised.
Threall says: My soul burns for revenge, but the elements tell me to think clearly. The Lich King is a ruthless opponent … one who must be handled carefully.
Thrall says: We will send scouts to assess the situation. I will also convene with the Lady Proudmoore and see what plans the Alliance has.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Gragh! I cannot take this! Yhile you talk and deliberate, our enemies grow stronger! Were it my choice, I would have put all our available forces onto that frozen rock and conquered it for the Horde!
Thrall says: If this is a trap, it is one I will not blindly walk into! Do not make the same mistakes as your father, Garrosh!
Garrosh Hellscream says: After all that he did for YOU and YOUR people? MAK’GORA!
Thrall says: You challenge me, boy? I don’t have time for this….
Garrosh Hellscream says: So you refuse? Is the son of Durotan a coward?
Thrall says: Inside!
Thrall yells: Let’s finish this quickly.
Garrosh Hellscream yells: Your duties as warchief can wait. For now… we fight!
**(They duel, Garrosh is victorious)**
Thrall yells: GYAH!
Garrosh Hellscream yells: Hah! So, son of Durotan, what--
**(horn sounds in distance)**
Herald of the Lich King yells: PUPS OF ORGRIMMAR! HEAR ME, BRASH UPSTARTS OF THE HORDE! TREMBLE, AND KNOW YOUR DOOM, FOR THE LICH KING’S GAZE IS FIXED UPON YOU!
High Overlord Saurfang yells: Warchief! Scourge forces are attacking Orgrimmar!
Thrall yells: We will finish this another time… son of Grom.
**(Abominations and Frost Wyrms attack until killed)**
Herald of the Lich King yells: ARGH! THIS SMALL VICTORY WILL AVAIL YOU NOTHING! COME! COME TO NORTHREND. MY MINIONS ARE WAITING, AND THEY ARE HUNGRY….
Garrosh Hellscream says: Well, Warchief? What say you now? Will you send me to Northrend?
Thrall says: Saurfang…
High Overlord Saurfang says: Yes, Warchief?
Thrall says: Marshal our forces. Contact our goblin shipwrights. The Horde prepares for war!
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Excellent… most excellent.

Whereas Wrynn just yells 'Enough of this' and the invasion ends.
Inspired.

Hello from Senjin! [A] Flairy, from Tact.
Coik Nov 10th 2008 11:57PM
Reading the transcript, I notice that not only was Thrall making excuses to go see Jania, but Garrosh didn't freak out until she was mentioned. Curiouser and curiouser...
Graargh Nov 10th 2008 7:54PM
You mean "Orgrimmar", of course.
tainted Nov 10th 2008 7:56PM
Sen'jin would be the server. Orgrimmar is implied. :)
Graargh Nov 10th 2008 8:42PM
At the time I posted that comment, the title of the headline misspelled the city name as "Ogrimmar".
Zancorr Nov 10th 2008 8:01PM
It is over already. Is it gonna just do the same thing over and over?
pwkalt1 Nov 10th 2008 7:54PM
Grand Apothecary Putress, Thrall, Sylvanas, and Garrosh Hellscream are arguing over something in the Valley of Honor
Aerie Nov 10th 2008 7:55PM
EU-AD - Thrall's fought them off in Orgrimmar, not sure on details. King Varian Wrynn, Broll Bearmantle, Valeera Sanguinar and Bolvar Fordragon are now located in the Harbour, talking about cutting off the head of the beast and what not. 00:55 server time, guessing we'll see action in 5 minutes. Stay tuned!

Wyrms are freezing things and attacking from above, and Towering Horrors are attacking on the grounds in Orgrimarr. Thrall is also missing on Trollbane.
