The final remnants of the scourge force that sought to force entry into Quel'thalas through Thalassian Pass have now been repelled. The assault started midway through last week during the cover of night, and the response necessitated the deployment of all elven forces currently in Quel'thalas to the pass and the lowland past it to aid in prevent the scourge from breaking through.
Although significant casualties were suffered in the operation, top military commanders report that the region has been secured before any undead could reach and link up with the remaining forces in the scourge outpost of Deathholme.
It was also reported that the group of Gurubashi Trolls resisting an order to confiscate artifacts and relics stolen by them, managed to escape in the confusion of the battle when much of the troops surrounding them were called to the defense, and furthermore managed to leave Quel'thalas with their stolen goods through Thalassian Pass while much of the garrison there had been deployed to hunt down smaller groups of scourge that had gotten through. Possible links between the trolls and the scourge are being investigated.
