Direct Consequence of the Black Knight Chain
This daily only exists because of the events you uncovered during the Black Knight investigation.
Tirion Fordring doubled the tournament’s guard after your exposure of the Cult of the Damned infiltrator, and Chillmaw’s raiding party is the Cult’s follow-up attack now that their subtler approach (the Black Knight) has failed.
The shift from covert infiltration (the Black Knight) to open aerial assault (Chillmaw) represents an escalation in the Cult’s desperation to disrupt the Argent Crusade’s preparations for the assault on Icecrown Citadel.

Vikstone's War Journal“Highlord Tirion Fordring has doubled the guard since your exposure of the Cult of the Damned’s infiltrator. He doesn’t believe that they will stop just because their Black Knight has been defeated. Our skytalon scouts have reported sighting a frost wyrm named Chillmaw leading a cult raiding party. If we don’t intercept them, the tournament will come under attack. The scouts report seeing Chillmaw to the southwest, flying over the area between the Ironwall Rampart and Aldur’thar.”
Between the Ironwall Rampart and Aldur’thar, north of the Valley of Fallen Heroes and south of the Shadow Vault. I have bled on all four of those, and now they get read out to me as coordinates.
Thimbles, Baddad, and Cyndren came along. A gnome warlock, a night elf rogue, and a night elf druid, which is the usual party a man puts together for a frost wyrm.
Chillmaw runs a wide loop about twenty yards off the deck, so waiting on the ground for it to land is not a plan. Either you go up and take hold of it or you put something into it from below as it comes over. We did the second.
The Cultist Bombardiers dropped clear as it descended, three of them, throwing bombs that opened green fire across the snow.
Cyndren shifted to bear and took the nearest at a run, which pulled its attention off the rest of us. Baddad went into the shadows and had the second from behind, daggers into the gaps in the robes before the man understood he had been flanked. Thimbles put a curse on the third and then set it burning from twenty feet away.
I went in on the wyrm.
Frost breath comes out in a cone, so the engagement was spent moving. The Destroyer went into frozen bone and the cracks ran out through ribs that were old before anybody now living was born. Thimbles worked the wing joints with shadow and fire both, standing underneath the thing. Cyndren came out of bear form and poured healing into me when the breath found the shield. Baddad worked along the spine, prying at whatever necromancy was holding one bone to the next.
The roar came apart into a rattle. It went down with the light guttering out of the sockets, and the Bombardiers still standing did not last long after it.
Baddad cleaned his daggers. “That’s the biggest thing I’ve ever stabbed.”
“Give it time,” Thimbles said.
Killing the dragon the cult sent settles nothing about the cult itself, and Eadric’s answer to that is to send Vikstone down among them for Taking Battle To The Enemy.
