Upon arriving in Ironforge Lo'Gosh was informed by King Magni that much of what had transpired
was no coincidence and that someone was secretly orchestrating the events. Knowing of Varian's
significant importance to the Alliance, Magni had previously enlisted the aid of highlord
Bolvar Fordragon and Marshal Windsor at the behest of young Anduin, who suspected the
Varian in Stormwind to be an imposter. Varian, having studied sword fighting with Windsor
for years held a deep respect for him as a friend, and ally. A disturbingly short time
after Marshal Windsor began his investigation he came to the conclusion that the imposter
Varian may not only be an imposter, but a dragon. As Lo'Gosh and Magni continued to
converse they were secretly being followed, by a bearded man. Valeera sensed arcane energy
being manipulated and witnessed the man creating a dagger with the intent to kill Lo'Gosh.
Valeera quickly subdued the man, but he transformed into a black dragon and fled. Outside Stormwind,
Anduin, Varian, Bolvar and Lady Prestor were riding horseback through the countryside,
with Anduin trying to implore his father, to listen to Stormwind's problems. But before
he could elaborate his horse was purposefully rounded by an unknown assailant causing Anduin
to lose control and tumble over a ledge. Varian swiftly caught Anduin and upon making physical
contact his mind was enveloped, by visions of the Defias carrying him while knocked out.
Strapped to the ground and covered in a rune circle, with robed figures casting dark magic,
being chased on Alcaz island by naga, and finally jumping over a cliff, reaching for
branches just beyond his reach. Anduin, embracing his father lost any doubts about him being
an imposter. Varian started to tell Bolvar, Anduin and Lady Prestor about his visions,
until Lady Prestor touched him, and remarked how astonished she was, by his nobility. Bolvar
surmised that Varian becomes befuddled when around her and loses his honour and respect
for others. This made Bolvar more anxious in discovering the secrets of Varian's abduction
and sudden return. Via magic, Bolvar informed King Magni that Windsor's report indicated
that he was close to discovering the dragon's identity, but was captured by Dark Iron dwarves
in Blackrock Depths. Lo'Gosh and his allies mounted and rode to Blackrock Depths and rescued
Windsor. Who revealed to Varian what he had discovered regarding his investigation.
