It had become an increasingly popular issue within the Lady's Delegation in the Undercity - Kalimdor was practically untouched, and it made up an entire half of the known world. The Forsaken were present, but only as squatters or ambassadors; there was no major force of neither the Deathguard or the Royal Apothecary Society. It was thus deemed necessary to rectify this, and after a short council it was decided that the Forsaken special operations group, The Spine, was to be issued in aid of the Horde on various fronts. To back them up, they were given a minor expeditionary company - 45 deathguards, 5 apothecaries and 5 Shadow Priests (approximately).
