Bronzebeard vice president for dragon members of shad rap fellow Questers and raiders i stand before you tonight at a time when Azeroth is growing ganking is low our citizens are seeing unparalleled epics and our nation is a force for rating and change throughout the world of warcraft ladies and gentlemen the state of our burning crusade is strong I know we face conflicts the Horde and the Alliance continue to warn earth I Basin and of course our challenges in outland grow every day the insurgent forces continue to attack and kill night elf troops and draenei citizens and that is why we must act now to bring peace to the region you've heard about my plan to send a surge of gnomes into kalimdor to help quell the violence there right now we are lfg to raid the crossroads and hopefully bring about a quick end to the insurgency I'm confident we can get this done and bring our troops home to stormwind as you may also know our renewable resources are becoming dangerously scarce rune cloth consumption is too high and our reliance on farmers in ishara is too strong that is why I am calling for twenty percent reduction in rune cloth consumption by the year twenty seventeen we must make Griffins that are more bread efficient and we must also double our emergency room cloth reserves I call on both sides of the house the doors and the tauren to work together to reach these goals to save our precious resources and finally as you know the dwarfs have taken control of Ironforge this year I want you to know that I am committed to the tauren working with the dwarves to pass better laws increase wealth and prosperity of our citizens and to make Azeroth a better place to live thank you and good night
