Hello everyone!
The Burning Legion has invaded Azeroth once again and the demon hunters, trained by Illidan
to become powerful weapons against the legion have been recruited to help in this war.
To aid them in their fight 2 artifacts, rumored to be even more powerful than lord illidan’s
blades are waiting to be obtained and for the havoc demon hunters, it’s the Twinblades
of Deceiver.
These glaives belong to the former demon hunter Varedis Felsoul, who was slain defending the
black temple many years ago...or so we thought.
Kor’vas spotted the traitor alongside the Legion...wielding glaives imbued with power
unlike anything she’d ever seen.
The Kirin Tor have an eredar lord locked away in the Violet Hold that will know where Varedis’
stronghold lies.
The prison warden has agreed to consider granting us access to the fiend.
Time to do some convincing.
“All we want is a few moments with the eredar...alone.
He has information we need.”
We need to figure out what rock varedis is hiding under and the only way we’re going
to do that is by getting inside this prison.
Warden Alturas doesn’t trust our kind to him, we and the legion are all the same.
We tell him to let us inside or we’ll show him the difference and he asks if that’s
a threat?
We’re surrounded by his guards in his prison and of course it’s a threat warden, now
open that door.
“So be it.
You’re fortunate that Khadgar trusts you.
But make no mistake...I do not share his sentiment.”
“You may enter the hold, but I will not put the lives of my guards at risk for your
mission.
Is that clear?”
“As crystal, warden.”
“Lower the barrier and evacuate the hold.
These Illidari wish to...exchange words...with the eredar.”
“Follow me.
I shall open the cell for you.”
“If you would do the honors.
I will stand guard to ensure no one interferes.”
“You would stand before me after so many of oyur kin have fallen?
Release me now and I may yet spare you.”
“Meet Taldath, one of the most powerful eredar we’ve ever encountered.
I’m sure you two will be fast friends.”
“Remember, demon hunter...you were never here.”
“FOOL!
You dare face me alone?!”
“Varedis will hunt down every one of your disgusting ilk.
Pity you won’t be around to witness it.”
“Where is he?!
Where is Varedis?
Tell us or die.”
“Vermin!
My lord wields powers beyond your comprehension!
He will end you!”
“Your efforts mean NOTHING!
Soon all of Suramar will bow to my master’s will!”
“We have what we came for.
Finish him!”
‘The twinblades...will be your end...”
So it’s Suramar where Varedis is holding up so the hunt is on, but we’re not going
in all by our self.
“Darksorrow and Ravencrest will have the honor of accompanying you into Suramar.
A small force will have the best chance of flying undetected into the hold.”
“Keep your wits about you.
Varedis will be a cunning adversary.”
Our approach into the area doesn’t exactly go unnoticed.
Varedis has wards projecting a barrier that protects him while Darksorrow and Ravencrest
are shot out of the sky.
The demon hunters presume them to be dead, but Ravencrest will find her way to blackrook
hold to become a boss.
Her mind gets twisted by the dreadlord there so she believes that she has to protect her
ancestral home from invaders like us while Darksorrow will be taken captive by the legion
and we find her during our questing in Suramar.
We even help her out with taken down the eredar Azoran, but that’s all future talk.
Here in this moment we come in hard and fast as we focus our attention on getting too Varedis.
“There’s no time to land.
You must dive headlong into the fray.
Go!”
Fel Commander Igrius: “To arms!
Lord Felsoul must not be disturbed.
Waaaaaamp.....waaaaaaamp.....waaaaaamp.”
“The demons underestimate your power.
Punish them for their hubris!”
3 wards we’ll have to take down to get to the former Illidari and unlike beta times
where you could skip the demons that spawn, now you actually have to kill them in order
to advance.
As I slowly figure out that fact, lets talk about the story behind the weapons as well
as Varedis since those that have played during the Burning Crusade or have gone to Outland
to do the old quests, might remember fighting Varedis before.
Back then we had Altruis the Sufferer, also a demon hunter, who had deflected from the
Illidari.
He believed that Illidan’s soul had been corrupted by power, his mind had been twisted
by defeat.
He had become what Altruis was sworn to destroy.
That’s why he assisted players with assaulting the black temple during the karabor attunement
questchain and part of the chain was taking on Varedis and his teachers.
When Illidan started to train demon hunters, Kael’thas send over some of his blood elves
to become the first amongst their new order.
Five warriors were send and these were the first blood elves allowed to be trained as
demon hunters.
The training was brutal.
Illidan put Kael's warriors through trials that would defeat most fully capable demon
hunters.
Three of Kael's elves died in training - another went mad, but one succeeded.
The one blood elf that succeeded where all others failed was called Varedis.
The hunger to kill demons was strong within him, too strong to let him fall before he
had tasted the Legion's blood.
He sacrificed his eyes with a smile and without even flinching at the pain and he had such
a gift, such a talent for the craft that Illidan assigned three master demon hunters to train
him further.
Within a year, Varedis had surpassed them all and he was as thirsty for power as Illidan
himself was.
He had become truly effective, occasionally accompanying Lord Illidan himself on his most
important journeys.
Varedis's most fateful mission was a solo task.
On Outland, Lord Illidan had heard too many reports that the remnants of the Shadow Council
were active.
Varedis was dispatched to scout for--and steal--any information he could find.
Little blood was spilled that day.
Varedis snuck into a cave complex inhabited by Shadow Council acolytes without drawing
attention to himself.
He found something odd, a book that radiated with demonic essence.
Inside was priceless information about the nature of demons, their weaknesses, and their
habits.
This tome, the Book of Fel Names, contained within it tremendous power and it was impossible
to remove.
The Shadow Council had enchanted it in ways that stopped Varedis from taking it from the
cave.
Thinking quickly, Varedis simply imbibed as much of the book's power as he could.
He left it in place, and the Shadow Council had no idea an Illidari had even been there.
Lord Illidan praised him for his achievement, after all, using the demons' own power against
them was the central purpose of a demon hunter and Varedis's pride swelled.
What he did not know was that he had not stolen the book’s power, he had simply become linked
to it and the book became his weakness, a weakness Altruis knew about.
He send adventurers into the shadow labyrinth to collect the book of fel names, the same
book Varedis had found only the members of the alliance and horde were not so stealthy.
They took to book back with them and confronted Varedis.
They began to destroy the book, page by page, and Varedis was stunned to realize that the
book's destruction was weakening him.
His borrowed demonic power faded quickly and these so called heroes were able to put him
down and continieu to work against Lord Illidan’s plans.
The risk that all demon hunters face is that by stealing the demon’s power, their souls
may return to their deomain – and their control – after they fall in battle.
This too was Varedis Felsoul's fate.
Kil'jaeden himself claimed his soul and heaped endless torment upon him.
Cinematic: “I was Illidari once...left for dead at the Black Temple.
Now you will witness the might of my new master!”
“Behold the infinite power of the Twinblades!”
Varedis resisted for a time.
It was not the pain that broke his spirit.
Kil'jaeden is called the Deceiver for a reason, after all.
The eredar lord played upon his shock from that battle in the Black Temple.
Champions had been prepared to face Varedis; who had told them about his borrowed power?
It had not been demons, certainly.
The Legion would have preferred to have the Book of Fel Names back intact.
It had not been the Shadow Council, for the same reason.
""It must have been the Illidari,"" Kil'jaeden told him.
""Only they knew of your power.
They betrayed you."" Varedis would come to believe him.
Once Kil'jaeden had poisoned Varedis's mind, he began to tempt the fallen Illidari.
The demon hunter had only tasted the Legion's true power.
Should Varedis pledge himself to the Burning Legion, he would receive the full measure.Varedis
agreed, breaking every one of his oaths and betraying every one of his comrades.
The deceiver had special plans for him.
With the help of other eredar, Kil'jaeden conducted a dangerous, agonizing ritual, infusing
a small part of his soul into Varedis's spirit.
When the ritual was complete, Varedis was not a demon hunter but a demon, loyal to the
Burning Legion and hungry for vengeance.
Varedis found that his weapons, these warglaives, had also been changed.
The ritual had imbued them with another slice of Kil'jaeden's astonishing power.
In the years after his conversion, he became a terror to all who might oppose the Burning
Legion.
World after world, city after city, innocent after innocent, he was sent to spill blood.
Often he worked quietly.
Secretly.
The Burning Legion did not want any on Azeroth to know his true potential.
But the Legion did allow him some satisfaction from time to time.
Those few among the Illidari who had escaped after Illidan's death had fled to the corners
of Outland and Azeroth.
Varedis was dispatched to hunt them down, one by one.
It was a task he relished since in his mind, they had betrayed him which is not entirely
untrue, it was just an Illidari that had deflected from.
For a long time, the Illidari did not know who was hunting them.
It was not until the Legion's arrival on the Broken Isles that he finally revealed himself.
When the Vault of the Wardens was raided, a shadow was seen in the sky.
Someone swooped down again and again, slaughtering the newly freed Illidari who were trying to
escape.
That was Varedis Felsoul.
He could not resist the opportunity to butcher so many of them.
He likely had a tactical reason for doing so.
His actions alerted them to his presence.
He knew somebody would come for him, one of the strongest among the Illidari, and he believed
he could set a trap to kill them.
Let’s make sure that he regrets that decision and show him who the more powerful demon hunter
is.
Kil’jaeden: “Do not fail me, Varedis.
Unleash the Twinblades and destroy the interloper!”
“Gladly, my master!”
“Return to Argus.
We will deal with this one another day.”
Drop weapons for some reason...
“I have no need for mortal armaments!
This is not over...Illidari.”
Despite being unable to defeat us with the weapons, he just leaves them behind, a nice
gift to us to pick up and wield the incredible power of the warglaives, infused by kil’jaeden
himself in the war against the legion.
Let Varedis's story be a warning.
He was dedicated, he was powerful, he was clever, and he was effective... and yet his
will could not survive the thought that he had been betrayed by one of his own.
No Illidari is without weakness.
No Illidari is immune to temptation.
The Burning Legion knows this.
Whatever flaw we may have, the Legion will test it.
But until that day, let them fear us once again.
These warglaives hold a measure of Kil'jaeden's power, so he was undoubtedly pleased to know
that our kind was dying to their blades.
He will not be so pleased to see what we will do with these weapons next, but that’s a
story for another day.
For now, thank you very much for watching everyone!
