Notes

On accept:

General Steelstrike says: Auralia, send a runner to Faerin's new elf friend. We need to talk.

General Steelstrike says: Faerin tells me your friend wields the Void.

General Steelstrike says: I'm either going to regret meeting her or thank the Flame.

Speak with any Arathi Reserve:

It is an honor to serve the Arathi people.

 Your general asked me to spar with you.

Aggro:

• Arathi Reserve says: Come. Let me learn from you.
• Arathi Reserve says: Twice the fight, twice the glory!
• Arathi Reserve says: I am blessed by Beledar. I won't be beaten!
• Arathi Reserve says: Let's see if you fight better than an Arathi!
• Arathi Reserve says: Maybe two on one can provide you with a challenge!

Defeat:

• Arathi Reserve says: Wow, that was instructional. Thank you!
• Arathi Reserve says: I yield! Light of the Flame, you don't pull your punches!
• Arathi Reserve says: Hah, ow. Thank you, I learned a lot from that!
• Arathi Reserve says: I still have all my extremities. Given how you fight, I'll consider that a win!

On return, Alleria has arrived:

General Steelstrike says: The Harbinger is from the Black Empire? Flames... One of the Old Gods?

Alleria Windrunner says: No. Something else. A survivor from the depths of time.

On complete, General Steelstrike has a new  <Stay a while and listen.> gossip option:

General Steelstrike says: Walk with me for a bit, outsider. I assume Faerin has told you of how we came to this strange land.

General Steelstrike says: "The Emperor's Vision", a prophecy of light, battle, and victory for the Arathi and the Sacred Flame.

General Steelstrike says: I was newly raised to my position. Being entrusted to seek out an imperial prophecy was a great honor.

General Steelstrike says: Our armada braved the Storming Sea and its impassable tempests. I thought that final storm was sure to scuttle every airship.

General Steelstrike says: Instead there was a radiant flash. The Emperor's Vision, exactly as he had foreseen.

General Steelstrike says: The light transported us beneath the surface of Azeroth, but still under the light of this star we named Beledar.

General Steelstrike says: So many died as the armada crashed into the cliffs, We thought the eternal flame of Arathor snuffed out that day.

General Steelstrike says: Then as we labored to rescue this stowaway child, Faerin, we discovered that she had preserved embers of the flame, at risk to her own life.

General Steelstrike says: Brave fool. Yet I'm eternally grateful that she held on to that symbol of hope. Don't tell her I said that.

General Steelstrike says: Years later, there was a great rumble. We thought the cavern was going to collapse. It was the Day of Darkness, the first time Beledar shifted to shadow.

General Steelstrike says: We had put down roots by then, my soldiers left to make homes for themselves. They started families. Flames help me, there are children now.

General Steelstrike says: I've had too many years of defending against the monsters that go bump in the night. Great Kyron and their lamplighters guided us through the darkness.

General Steelstrike says: But like Faerin, they mistake saving for safeguarding. My people are brave and strong, but they are not all Flame blessed heroes.

General Steelstrike says: I know exactly how many soldiers we lose to the dark. If we play it safe, we might survive long enough for me to put my grandchildren on the front line.

General Steelstrike says: I welcome you, outsider. I hope your people's arrival, and the earthen's reunification means better days for Mereldar.

General Steelstrike says: But I fear we have just made ourselves a bigger target for the dark.
