Crime and Punishment

Crime and Punishment is an Alliance bounty originating in Darkshire that demands the extrajudicial execution of a grave robber imprisoned within the Stormwind Stockade. Councilman Millstipe issues the contract after the House of Nobles overrides Duskwood's death sentence for Dextren Ward. Carrying out the hit satisfies local vengeance while delivering a sharp warning to the capital's negligent aristocracy.

As if the neglect for the residents of Duskwood was not bad enough, now the House of Nobles spits in the eye of the Darkshire Council with their decision to imprison Dextren Ward in Stormwind rather than behead the villain as per Lord Ebonlocke's sentence.

Ward was caught selling bodies from the cemetery to Morbent Fel, a crime punishable by death. Yet Stormwind claims Ward as their prisoner.

Assassinate Ward in The Stormwind Stockade - bring me his hand - and I shall reward you.

So long as a molester of the dead like Dextren Ward is permitted to live, justice stands betrayed. Return to me once Lord Ebonlocke's sentence of death is carried out on that defiler, Ward. We shall give the families of the dead the closure they deserve and better yet, we will send a clear message to the House of Nobles in Stormwind.

So Dextren Ward finally paid for his crimes against humanity? Good riddance to the scum I say. And cheers to you, my friend! Not only have you given the families of the dead the peace of mind they deserve, you sent a poignant message to those corrupt bureaucrats in the House of Nobles. Stormwind must rise to the needs of the people of Duskwood or we will break free from their tyranny.
