I am not certain how to feel about this day’s work. For several days now, I have been searching for the Harbinger who has been helping Asoharith. It has not been easy, even with Simmah’s guidance, for the Enemy closely guards those few they possess who can look into the future. But today, I was told precisely where I might find this creature.
