Hello everyone! After 2 weeks of waiting,
the final major chapter for embers of neltharion has been. Last time we finished fighting our way
through Aberrus, hot on the trail of the dracthyr sarkareth who believed that they were worthy of
the legacy of Neltharion. Something sabellian and wrathion did not agree with, believing they
were the ones worthy to step into their fathers footsteps. Not helped by the echo of neltharion,
a faceless one, whispering in their ears. While Sabellian and Wrathion both came to
the conclussion that they could not and would not follow the dark legacy neltharion left behind,
Sarkareth pushed on. All the way to the edge of oblivion where we saved the day...
Cutscene: I was...your loyal soldier, father.
Did I not...uphold your legacy? Was it all just...an
illusion? Empty...promises... leading us only... to oblivion... ughhhhhhhhhhhhh”
“Sarkareth... I am sorry for the friend you lost.
As you said, he chose his path and yet though he was deeply misguided...Sarkareth
deserves a farewell that befits the dracthyr he once was.
Of course, I will go with you to the place he fell.
There are still dangers remaining in Aberrus. We should not let them travel alone.
Agreed. Champion, will you join us? This is a path best walked together.”
“I knew of Deathwing’s corruption when I was still in the shell. But I had no idea how deeply it ran.
Father...pursued his goals with relentless conviction. He was never fond of half measures.
A trait you admired? In some ways, yes.
But now, seeing what it can lead to, I am...less certain.”
As Ebonhorn had hoped, both his brothers learned quite a bit during their adventures
in aberrus. Cool to see that even though our adventure is over, there are still forces
active inside of the laboratory. We take them out while wrathion asks us to destroy
any intact specimen tanks and sabellian has us liberate the djaradin who rather die in battle.
“Such twisted mal,evolence.... the air is thick with it.
That ends today. This is the final culling. Was it like this when you
hatched? Were the others truly so far gone? Worse. They weren’t haunted echoes he’d left
behind. They were devoted followers of the bleak future he’d led them to.”
“What is this? The djaradin are ruthless
adversaries of our flight. But to be imprisoned and have their life siphoned way...it
is too cruel a fate, even for our enemies. How long have they been here?
Long enough.”
“These pitiful creatures. Did father truly hold so little regard for life?
He cared only about forging a future in which the black dragonflight would be dominant.
As...as I have done.
YOu are nothim, sabellian. You wish to see our kind thrive, not dominate.
It is an admirable pursuit. Thank you, Wrathion. But I must do better.”
“Disgusting creatures. Unnatural aberrations! They had no choice or agency in their creation.
Neither did I. Wrathion I did not mean –
Do I disgust you as well? We have not known each other long, but I can see
that you are every bit the dragon i am. If I have ever made you feel otherwise, I am truly sorry.
Well, I....thank you, sabellian.”
Dont forget the cutscene last few weeks
“There are some serpent drakes stationed at the top of the experiments wing for us,
champion.They should see us safely to the lower platform.”
“I confess...this is the last palce I wanted to revisit.
I could say the same for this entire facility. Well then. Let us get this over with.”
Emberthal has been grieving for Sarkareth for some time now. The way forward is for
her to determine and we can only be there to support her along the way,
the same question asked by Nozdormu at the end of the legacy episode. Shars of sarkareth’s
signet are scattered all over the room which we gather for emberthal.
Cutscene: “May his name be ever remembered.
After what he has done, why treat him with such respect?
He was dracthyr and his memory will be a lesson.
Instead of helping our people heal, he lead many to dispair and ruin.
Chasing the illusion of neltharions power. If only sarkareath had taken deathwings
tragedy to heart and understood his legacy been poisoned long ago.
Its time for the dracthyr to make our own path.
Where do you hope it will lead? Far from the shadows ofthe past that have haunted
us and free to build a legacy of our own to a future you inspired me to believe in, ebyssian.
Even the most painful moments have something to teach us.
Neltharion was my teacher. My father and my commander.
I aspired to lead the flight as he would have, unable or perhaps unwilling
to aknowledge the true malignancve of his vision. I never knew neltharion, only deathwing. Invading
my nightmares, reveling in the certainty that i would become as twisted as he was.
That is not who you are, my brother. I thought my destiny was to guide our
flight to its future. And I shall, but simply as myself....not as an Aspect.
Nor shall I seek that mantle.
It would seem that your days of hiding are over for good.
I am humbled. May your trust and faith in me, guide my every step.
For today we emerge from all the shadows that sought to sow doubt and shame within us.
The black dragonflights legacy is ours to create.”
Shocking for some or not a surprise at all for others, all the same...Ebonhorn,
Ebyssian has been appointed to become the aspect for the black dragonflight. Not fully empowered
but more so in title, Wrathion and Sabellian both give up their competition and will folllow
their brothers lead into the future. Lets head back to alexstrasza and tell her the good news.
“Welcome home my friends. What news from ABerrus? Neltharions abominations have been eredicated.
Sadly not before Sarkareth succumbed to corruption and had to be struck down.
A heavy price to pay but a reminder of the cost of seeking power.
That is a lesson each of us had to learn.
Indeed, my brother. And by confronting the darkness of our flights past,
we have found its future. AS I had hoped you would. Tell me.
We believe ebyssian is the right choice to lead us.
His wisdom and compassion will pave a new path forward for us all.
I agree. And do you accept this charge, Ebyssian? I am
honored to do so. But I will require my general and my diplomat at my side.
Then let it be so. Come, take your place among our council...Earth-Warder.
Citizens of Valdrakken, hear me! From this day forth, Ebyssian will
serve his people as earth-warder and aspect of the black dragonflight.”
Cutscene: “Through great heroism and resilience,
the threat of Aberrus has been quelled. The incarnates sought to use our fallen brothers
memory as a weapon. To divide us. Turn us against eachother and weaken our resolve.
They failed. COnfronting these shadows only made us stronger. Look upon us now. For the first time
in an age, 5 aspects will take up our ancient charge once more and stand beside the mortal
champions who have aided us at every turn. Show us the dream merithra, whats going on?
For soon, Azeroth will welcome from the dream, a symbol of hope and together we shall protect it.”
And there ends the major story of Embers of Neltharion. The black dragonflight is
stronger then they have been in quite a while, but we do still have the threat of shadowflame
and fyrakk to deal with. That little part of the legacy is still flying around as far as I know.
People have also asked if this means Ebonhorn is now empowered as an aspect, but that part
of the story has not played out yet. Last bit we dealt there was rebuilding keeper tyr and trying
to get a disk that’s been throw into the timeways so a story still to be continued.
The tree that we see is in relation to a seed given to tyrande and malfurion by the
winter queen. Malfurion has taken another nap giving ysera the oppertunity to return
to Azeroth and guide her daughter into the rol of aspect for their green flight. The
primalists tried to go after the seed infused with the spirits of the kaldorei but we stopped
them and it’s anyoness guess what that tree is going to mean for the night elves. Teldrassil,
their previous home, burned but before that they had a world tree called nordrassil. This
one was planted by the aspects over a powerful well to contain its powers and prevent another
war of the ancients. Blessings were then placed upon the tree to give the night elves immortality,
easier access into the dream and vibrant lives. Nordrassil blew up during warcraft 3 to stop
Archimonde and has been healing for quite a while. Perhaps this new tree growing in the
dream and coming forth to Azeroth will offer a new future for the night elves,
but I imagine that story will be told if and when we’re dealing with the green dragonflight.
For now we’ve wrapped up the black dragonflight and if you want my
opinions on the story so far then check out my full playthrough that
I’ll upload tomorrow. THe story given in the patch isn’t over yet though,
we still have the blue dragonflight to deal with but that will be for next time....
