Details[]
Archmage Gehlnarine Liridian was made aware of the presence of a spy within the Magus Senate. This spy, one Matiif Durthan reported directly to Stromheart regarding the details of a Senate Session and was considered an Ambassador to Dalaran without the knowledge of the Senate. Durthan was detained and questioned on this. Upon questioning, it was ascertained that Durthan was a spy unknowingly, unaware that the Senate had not been made aware of his supposed 'Ambassadorship'. Durthan was released, and charges dropped.
Durthan was followed by Archmage Liridian to Stormwind Harbor, where Recording #298 was taken of Durthan's conversation with one Ritchard Elric. The recording also captures what was said upon the revelation that Arranax DeVin, Vanadicus Alexander and Gehlnarine Liridian had been listening.
