[i]"Private armies, secret agents and now even his own castle. My brother has been very busy it seems!"[/i] Although the idea of Sherpa building his own castle in Stormwind seemed out of whack at first, Sharon did remember hearing about the harbor defense project down by the docks. What better way to build your strategic, evil castle of doom without drawing suspicion than making it a joint effort seemingly for the benefit of the city? "White Hand... those were a mercenary group, weren't they?" Sharon said, thinking back. He had heard about the White Hand, they were among the city's newer security groups, whom had received quite a lot of praise from their clients. In fact, the last time he had been reading about them was the mercenary catalog given to him by Friedrick when he had been looking for a mercenary group to help defend him after the assassination attack. It was probably best not to tell Liaena that before the Night Elves had come, the White Hand had been one of the groups Sharon had considered hiring. [i]"It would probably have not been the best idea to hire mercenaries to protect me from my brother-who-wants-to-kill-me's private army."[/i] "Going against my brother alone would be suicide. He is a powerful foe. He might be even stronger than the last time we faced him. And that is even without considering the fact that he now has an entire private army on his side. Whatever happens, we will certainly need allies if we are ever going to hope to have a chance of taking him. Anything less would result in little more than a futile and overly dramatic suicide." Sharon spoke while thinking. Sherpa was a former Death Knight of the Scourge, a man who almost solely brought great devastation to Dalaran. And now he had his own army. If they were going to take him out, they would need any assistance that they could get! "We need Serphia and her elves." Sharon commented, chewing on his next words carefully. "But Rithrynn represents an unstable element that would compromise the entire operation... " [i]"Telling Serphia would probably be a bad idea... "[/i] "We need a way to neutralize her... what about her 'close friend', Naliyah?" Sharon asked, looking back at Liaena.
