If you can recall, I originally arrived in Northrend at Vengeance Landing, a military outpost inhabited by the Hand of Vengeance - a group of Forsaken. Amongst them, members of the Royal Apothecary Society. When I arrived I had a chat with Apothecary Lysander who explained to me the purpose of Sylvanas' latest task force. They are trying to develop a new plague - one to counter the Lich King's efforts, something that can destroy not only living beings, but also the Scourge. Work on this new plague has been ongoing by the Royal Apothecary Society for some time but with little success until recently. Problems arose when they tried to carry the concoction across the icy seas to deliver it to its destination of Northrend. In doing so, the plague was weakened, causing mild sickness at best.
Apothecary Lysander asked me to take a sample of the weakened plague to Chief Plaguebringer Harris at a settlement called New Agamand in the South of Howling Fjord. Of course, I had taken a detour in order to help the Taunka with their crisises at Winterhoof Camp - looking back, I consider it foolish to have kept the plague in my posession for so long, epsecially during battle. I guess it wouldn't have done much harm had it leaked, anyway. I did eventually make my way to New Agamand.
They were also aware of the Vrykul threat I had worked hard to fight against on the behalf of the Taunka, and were already trying to infect them with the new plague to no avail. Chief Plaguebringer Harris was keen to recruit me to contribute to the refinement of the new plague, and sent me out to fetch new ingredients and taught me how to mix them. I now posess a greater understanding of the intricate workings of the new plague but it still took a lot of time to create a solution that could be successfully used to infect and consume the Vrykul.
Now all that was needed to be done was to infect the Vrykul en-masse with the new strain. Harris referred me to 'Hacksaw' Jenny who was willing to create an abomination carrier of the plague to deliver to nearby Vrykul settlements. They would be infected through the method of self destruction. Any living creature in the vicinity of the eruption of the abomination's plagued flesh was sure to contract the deadly disease. After collecting a few of the parts that Jenny needed to create our vessel I delivered him myself and sure enough, it worked! The plague was successfully deployed, and Howling Fjord is one more step towards becomming free from the Vrykul's grasp, and my work at New Agamand is done - for now. Plaguebringer Harris presented me with a vial of the plague to deliver to other Apothecaries around Howling Fjord and neighbouring Dragonblight but I have other business to attend to - in passing, the Kalu'ak have requested my assistance. Don't worry - the vial is in safe hands. Plus, it may come in handy under dire circumstances...

Early this morning I set off via zeppelin from Undercity to the continent of Northrend. Northrend is the continent from which the Lich King reigns and sends showers of Scourge over Azeroth to corrupt and destroy its inhabitants' bodies and souls. This is the first time I have ever set foot on lands north from my home of Quel'Thalas, and the air is very cold here. I flew to Vengeance Landing in the Howling Fjord and was greeted by the Forsaken. The people residing here all have one common goal - to destroy the Lich King and protect Azeroth from further destruction.
If I am to aid them in their plight, this is where I will be stationed for the forseeable future. I have met a few people here now, including Pontius, a plaguehound breeder whom I helped fetch meat for his pets. High Executor Anselm is leading the expedition and at his command I am currently looking into threats posed by the Vrykul - a clan supposedly unheard of for some time, up until the point that Horde moved into Northrend.
