The remnants of the nation of Alterac has banded together in an unholy alliance with 
the Orc forces and decimated the once great armies of the Alliance.  Lord Lothar (you)
managed to flee the mass carnage before all were either slain or enslaved.  You must 
take advantage of a peasant revolt and raise an army of your own.  Seek out the last
vestiges of the once great Alliance in your quest.  Do not let their sacrifice be in 
vain.  (Hint: Don't ignore the peons that survive--they will mean the difference be-
tween victory and defeat.)
