A Peace Worth Keeping

The peace between Theramore and Durotar depended on leaders whose people still distrusted one another. Incidents that might have remained disputes became evidence for those expecting another war. Jaina and Thrall had to discover what was driving the escalation.

Jaina’s encounter with Aegwynn revealed a demonic conspiracy. Zmodlor had gained influence through followers on both sides. Their work turned existing suspicion into a weapon, making each community see only the apparent guilt of the other.

Jaina and Aegwynn confronted the demon, while the conspirators within the two camps were exposed. With Zmodlor banished, the leaders sought a more durable agreement. The crisis had shown that defeating a common enemy once did not remove the work of maintaining peace afterward.
