Wrath Pre-Launch Event: Next Phase

UPDATE #4: Added screenshots of the attack on Stormwind, as well as the victory yell from King Varian Wrynn.
UPDATE #3: Added more Orgrimmar screenshots.  Screens courtesy of hardcore.
UPDATE #2: Chat between Thrall and Garrosh Hellscream added.  Thanks yem!
UPDATE #1: Stormwind City screenshots added, also added links to backgrounds for all Alliance characters involved.

It appears that the next phase of the Wrath of the Lich King launch event has finally started.  Reports are coming in that Orgrimmar is under attack by Abominations and Frostwyrms, and there is activity in Stormwind as well.  The event is currently looping every 15 minutes or so, so it looks like there may be more to come.  Stay tuned for more updates.

Stormwind Under Attack

Thanks to micce for some of these.  You can find more in the image gallery.  Credit to Halbarad for Varian's initial yell and the dialogue each key NPC says during an attack.


Stormwind City

King Varian Wrynn, Highlord Bolvar Fordragon, Broll Bearmantle, and Valeera Sanguinar are all gathered in Stormwind Harbor at a tent.  They also speak some flavor text of the current situation.

Orgrimmar Under Attack

At some point during the event, you can see Thrall and Garrosh Hellscream fight in Orgrimmar arena, you can also see Saurfang running around, Sylvanas and Putress at the entrance of the arena with a map of the world in front of them. (Source - torash)

Thanks to yem, Skylline, and hardcore for the Horde screenshots so far.

    I saw/heard the Herald of the Lich King yell once. Nothing happened after that, except that Thrall was no longer seated upon his throne much less anywhere near Grommash Hold.

    There were one or two level 63 elite undead spawning in Stormwind when I logged off late last night. Only a few people (mainly low-level bank alts) around getting pooned - but the guards killed it fairly quickly.

    The fight in Org is next to the Ring of Valor. Garrosh is anxious to begin the attack on Northrend, but Thrall wants to think things through. Garrosh then angers Thrall, and Thrall challenges him to a duel. Inside the ring, Garrosh gets Thrall down to about 50% before the Herald of the Lich King interrupts the fight and announces the start of the invasion phase where the abominations and Frost Wyrms appear. After several times through the loop, Thrall finally agreed to begin the war effort to strike back. The goblins are being contacted to begin work on the new zeppelins.
