Forsaken seek a wayward lich

Full History

Magistrate Sevren of Brill sends a Forsaken agent to Bethor Iceshard as part of an effort involving a wayward lich. The errand suggests that Sylvanas's new society was attempting to draw useful undead away from the Lich King's control rather than relying only on those who had already broken free. Not every servant of undeath had settled into a clear allegiance after the Third War.

Brill stood close to the ruined heart of Lordaeron, where the Forsaken faced the Scourge, hostile living crusaders, and the remnants of the old kingdom. Organizing contacts with powerful undead figures was one possible way to improve their position. The involvement of a magistrate and a named contact reveals that the fledgling government already operated through official duties, reports, and assignments as well as military campaigns.

The original quest establishes the approach toward Bethor, but it does not turn the entire recruitment effort into an established success. The wayward lich remains part of an unresolved local mission until the player acts. That distinction matters because the surviving history of Tirisfal should reflect the conditions encountered at the beginning of World of Warcraft, not a world in which every possible adventurer has done every errand.
