Kairoz shuddered. Even without
demons and Orcs, the kingdoms of
men would fall to the depredations
of beings far greater in malice

their own petty squabbles and
fears, the Black Dragonflight

was doomed. A lesson had been

strength to these petty kingdoms;
the Horde that bound them into the
Grand Alliance; the Horde that had
given them purpose, and the power
to throw back the demonic tide.
And it would be to the Horde that
Kairoz would turn once more. ■
