The Heart of the Phoenix

Prelude
During the long pause in the rebellion, Lor'tharian caught wind of a magical artifact that is said to 'bring about a great change in the world'. With this in his hands, in the hands of the Sunfury, he believed that he might actually be able to use it for the betterment of Quel'thalas. With everything that was happening, Lor'tharian knew that in order to put forth the effort he needed into finding this artifact, he could not leave the rebellion while it was in full-swing.

Something had to be done about the rebels, but no moves could be made before he knew where to start looking for the Heart of the Phoenix.
