It looks good, Saltwater :)

Now is the question about how you wish to enter the RP. There is after all a battle going on in the RP at the fortress, and a number of White Hand magi were involved in fighting off Rae'liel's assault.

Actually, what came to my mind just about now was if you perhaps wanted to enter as one of the unspecified mages in the recent fight, if you want to get right into the action.
During the fight, there was one magi(who never really got a description) who tipped the scale between some White Hand knights versus Rae's blood knights, gaining them victory. Although the mage did suffer a case of being stabbed by a ill-tempered Blood Elf, it was not necessarily lethal, and if you want to maybe have that mage be Icarias, you can decide just how much damage you suffered.(don't worry, the White Hand have medics!)

If you want, you'll then be starting very close to where Sherpa and Rae'liel currently are, and probably witnessed the fight as well :)
