THE HEART Once you start looking for Sentinel Hill's leader, it's not hard to find out. You can hear everyone in the area talking about Gryan Stoutmantle, and a little poking around can glean that he's easily distinguished by his impressive plate armor with Stormwind's lion insignia ostentatiously embossed onto it. It's also readily apparent that he's receptive to this sort of information. As you find out when you tell him, a little too receptive. "Everyone, fall back to the Tower!" he snaps, drawing the denizens of the Hill as if by a magnet to the tower. "There are traitors in our midst! We must not allow them to take the Hill by force! We make our stand here!" Anything he says after that is drowned out by the hubbub from his sudden proclamations. When the noise dies down, you can see that a young woman in one corner of the tower has been trying to protest and is only now audible. "This is an outrage!" she can now be heard saying. "What can you possibly mean by these actions, Gryan?" "The Defias laid waste to these lands once before," Gryan retorts. "I have learned that, even now, they plot to destroy us once more! What is your answer to that, Hope?"
Defend Gryan. Remain firm in your attempts to discredit the shady people you saw. Defend Hope. Maybe telling Gryan about what the shady people were up to wasn't a great plan. Wait this out. Nothing will come of you interfering now.
