Description
It... It... It was all a trap.
Forgive... me.
Kill the bastard... Kill him for us... for Thorius.

I don't believe you! Show me proof!
Completion
<Thorius' face turns white.>
This... this cannot be. My own brother? He set this all up?
<Thorius' face contorts in anger.>
He betrayed me, he betrayed Ironforge! It seems as if the influence of the Old Gods is still strong in these lands. I fear that if my brother - a once noble and honorable man - was so easily turned to the will of Ragnaros, no one is safe.
