The Unsent Letter

The Unsent Letter is the first quest in the Lescovar Incident quest chain. It begins with An Unsent Letter, which drops from Edwin VanCleef.

Deliver the Letter to the City Architect to Baros Alexston in Stormwind.

• An Unsent Letter (provided)

Searching Edwin VanCleef's person, you discover, among other things, an unsent letter. It is addressed to Baros Alexston, the City Architect of Stormwind, City Hall, Cathedral Square.

It appears to be recently written and sealed.

You will receive:

• 875 XP
• +50 reputation with Stormwind

Yes? Is there something I can help you with?

Edwin VanCleef, you say? I would as much expect a letter from my dead grandmother... So you've killed him then? Pardon me in saying, but I'm somewhat surprised. He was a peerless fighter in his younger years. Let's see what he finds the need to write to me about after so many years.

<Baros peruses the letter.>

Edwin... I see the years haven't changed you a bit, an idealist as ever, and a romantic. He doesn't care who he hurts,. Revenge has consumed him. But then, I'm not sure I can blame him.

• Baros Alexston is inside the City Hall, on the northeast side of the Cathedral Square in Stormwind.
• Though the Defias Brotherhood quest chain is the usual incentive for entering the Deadmines and killing Edwin VanCleef, it is not a prerequisite.
• Prior to this quest's removal in retail, completing it would reward the Deadmines (achievement) achievement (if for some reason actually killing Edwin VanCleef did not reward it).
