ccording to Mr. Talioner, a member of the Scarlet Missionaries, the Stormwind Cathedral would be digged soon by the League of Explorers, a well known dwarven group of adventurers in seek of their past.

Mr. Talioner based his testimony on a conversation he had with a member of the aforementioned organization, in the Trade District of Stormwind.

But his wasn't the only voice that raised to warn us about this worrying news: a reliable member of our community, Lady Quintessa Ann Lescovar, also claims to have witnessed the chat between Mr. Talioner and the dwarf, who introduced himself as "Caskbelly". She declared:

"Oh, I assure you that these accusations are true. I was in the Trade District last night and heard every word. That Dwarf was quite intolerable! I protested as loudly as I could, but he would not hear me. Bet it because I am a woman I know not, I even wondered if the Dwarf was just trying to get a rise out of the Missionary. It was almost as if I wasn't there! I have rarely been so grossly offended in all my life. At least the Scarlet Missionary had the decency to acknowledge my presence.

I told the Dwarf that the nobles of Stormwind would not approve, especially since the only "permission" the Dwarf had was from the King of Ironforge! What claims and power does that king have to Stormwind? Where am I and the other nobles and good citizens of Stormwind going to pray while this takes place? We need peace and quiet in the Cathedral and not the sounds of hammering!

I protest!"

We met Dr. Berdrin Stormspanner, the well known scientist, who is a Prospector for the League of Explorers, as well as a member of the Royal Apothecary Society of Stormwind, in the Dwarven District.

When asked about this matter, his words were clear: "As far as I've been able ta tell, this was all jus' a hoax."

Dr. Stormspanner explained to us his reasons to believe this:

"I'm proud ta be a Prospector o' the League, and as such a member o' the, err, Board o' Prospectors, which, err, meets together 'n decides on where Digs are set up, 'n all sorts o' bureaucratic decisions. At the last, err, meetin' o' the Board, six months ago, there was absolutely no talk o' any such excavation."

He also added:

"Also, I'd like ta clear the name o' Caskbelly 'ere (Dr. Stormspanner points at a dwarf sitting nearby). From wha' I 'ear, the, err, impersonator borrowed 'is name."

This new information on the case left us puzzled, and we wanted to know Dr. Berdrin's personal opinion about the reasons behind this elaborated trick:

"Someone tha' really wanted to, err...scare the aficionados o' the Cathedral, I s'pose. Though, from wha' I 'eard, err... This was when there was a meetin' o' the Mission tha' night? The Scarlets. Y'know... Either, this was someone tha' was tryin' ta scare the Missionaries... Or, this was a deliberate propaganda effort from 'em Scarlets. Tryin' ta prove, err, maybe tha' they're right 'bout their propaganda regardin' dwarves 'n other, err, non 'uman races."

Happily, the Cathedral is safe, and will not be digged up, so feel free to visit this beautiful building, to say a prayer or just enjoy the view, but remember: it's a place for quiet contemplation, and you will be expected to act with respect - no running, jumping, spitting, yelling, dancing, fighting, eating or drinking is allowed inside. And leave your pets and mounts at the door, please.
