At Grand Marshall Garithos’ base camp, near the outskirts of Dalaran, Kael’thas and his warriors arrive bearing ill news.
Garithos: You are late, Prince Kael’thas. I thought you elves prided yourselves on punctuality.
Prince Kael’thas: It could not be helped, Lord Garithos. We ran into a group of night elves from across the sea, and—
Garithos: I am not interested in your fanciful excuses! You elves are here to serve the Alliance: thus, you will obey my commands to the leter! Is that clear?
Prince Kael’thas: Yes, Lord Garithos.
Garithos: Now, the undead have begun a new offensive to retake Dalaran. Their primary strike force marched south through Silverpine, but we managed to halt its advance at the base of the mountains.
Prince Kael’thas: My men are ready to fight, milord! When shall we leave for the front?
Garithos: We will be leaving immediately. But , your people will be staying here. Our scouts report that a second strike force may be heading this way from the east. I need you to repair the outlying observatories so that we can monitor that region.
Prince Kael’thas: But, milord, we are warriors, not—
Garithos: You have your orders, Prince Kael’thas. I trust your elven ears heard them clearly enough. Move out!
Lord Garithos and his troops left toward the front of the battle, while Prince Kael’thas remained behind in astonishment and soreness.
Prince Kael’thas: Insolent son of a … Let’s get this over with!
With that, Kael’thas escorted his peons for the task ahead.

As Kael’thas and his Blood Elves approach the shore, they discover that the port and its ships had been destroyed. Incommunicating them with nearby islands.
Prince Kael’thas: Damn. We’ll have to find a way across the lake to reach the outlying goldmine.
Suddenly, from the water came out Lady Vashj accompanied by an escort of Naga Myrmidons.
Prince Kael’thas: Naga! You fought for the demon Illidan!
Lady Vashj: We are on our own now, good prince. I am called Lady Vashj. My breathren and I come in peace, to offer you our aid.
Prince Kael’thas: You have nothing I need, witch.
Lady Vashj: Is that so? I thought you might require boats to reach the observatories you seek.
Prince Kael’thas: And you would provide these freely? Why should I trust you, my lady?
Lady Vashj: Our two races share a common ancestry, Kael. Now, against the undead, we share a common peril. These boats are merely a gesture of good will.
Prince Kael’thas: Then I accept your offer, Thank you.
Using ships provided by Lady Vashj and her naga, Kael’thas and his Blood Elves were able to cross the lake to find Observatories spread in other Islands. However, the Scourge kept sending attacks to Kael’thas new base camp. Kael’thas escorted his peons toward the last of the three Observatories, repairing it successfully. When suddenly …
Prince Kael’thas: Hail, Lord Garithos. The observatories have been repaired as you requested. We were just about to—
Garithos: I received ill news from the front line. Is it true that you’ve consorted with the vile naga?
Prince Kael’thas: Well, yes, milord. They helped us across the lake. I assure you they pose no threat to us or to—
Garithos: They are inhuman and must be crushed like any other enemy! Be careful where you place your loyalties, blood elf. I will not tolerate treason in my ranks. Now I must return to the front. You will remain here and wait for further orders.
