Hello everyone!
After finishing up the Legion Fall Campaign, heroes of Azeroth are rewarded with a unique
class mount.
For the Warlock it’s Elithys Firestorm who tells us about the news from Dreadscar Rift.
A raven delivered a message from Mor’zul Bloodbringer with instruction to meet him
immediately!
“Greetings, warlock.
I come before your council with a discovery I believe you will find intriguing.
Much time has passed since we first pierced the veil into the plane of Xoroth, but a new
opportunity beckons us back to the realm of the dreadsteeds.
Meet with me in Dreadscar Rift, and I will explain.”
Mor’zul was part of the original warlock mount questline back in classic in which he
helped us with obtaining a dreadsteed from Xoroth itself.
Xoroth is a planet dominated by the Legion, a planet from which the dreadsteeds come,
a planet which did not join the Legion willingly.
Back in classic, Mor’zul had us collect a whole bunch of materials to open a portal
and summon our mount, like blood from the deomic corrupted owl beasts in Winterspring
to scribe glyphs on a parchment.
Materials for a wheel of the black march, the bell of dethmoora, a doomsday candle and
a black lodestone, all items needed for the ritual of summoning conducted within dire
maul west.
Warlocks would travel with groups into dire maul west to conduct the summoning, taking
on waves of imps and dread guards while keeping the ritual items intact until the steed and
also the dreadlord Hel’nurath were summoned into our world.
Both were put down and the steed was bound to the warlock and of course all these materials
didn’t come cheap, but at least you could re-use them and sell the mount quest to warlocks
unable or unwilling to obtain the materials.
After being displaced by Blackrock orcs with the cataclysm revamp, Mor’zul has returned
with more knowledge then ever before.
During one of his rituals he was able to capture a wyrmtongue who, after several weeks of questioning,
revealed that Lord Hel’nurath has been working to create a more powerful steed for the fel
knights of Xoroth.
He calls it the Wrathsteed and while the wyrmtongue knew little of the steed itself, it’s clear
that Hel’nurath so far has only been able to create one which he has gifted to his greatest
general, the fel knight Arax’ ath.
The tricky part is that Arax’ ath hardly ever leaves Xoroth, preferring to command
his armies from a distance.
This means that we need to draw him out and like before, that will take a bit of preparation
and materials, but thankfully nothing as bad as it was during classic.
“Excellent.
I knew you would not disappoint.
Now we have preparations to make.
”
Our task will not be easy, but when this is over it is we who will be the true masters
of Xoroth.
In order to draw our Arax’ath we will need to create a portal capable of a sustained
link to Xoroth.
We’ll need a particularly resilient portal for that, one we’re going to construct out
of felslate, chaotic spinel and an unbending potion.
A sustains portal requires a fair bit of power so we need a source brimming with fel energy.
The commanders of the Legion use powerful fel cores to control their warships so we
deal with a Legion invasion and take the Overcharged Fel Core from the commander.
A powerful core will need fuel to work with, blood potent in magical energy and the Owbleasts
within Lostlight Grotto in Val’sharah have just the blood that we need so we slaughter
them and fill up our jar.
With that we have the components for our gateway, but to call and bind the dreadsteeds of Xoroth
we’ll need a calling stome, stones gifted to Hel’nurath’s lieutentants.
Some Xorothian cultists have been spotted helping the Legion’s efforts on the broken
shore and they should be able to point us towards their leader.
Our sexy, persuasive Succubus uses her seduction to question the cultist who lets us know that
Zuriwa is watching from her tower.
She’s standing just to left of us so we take on the troll and loot the Xorothian Calling
Stone from Zuriwa the Hexxer.
Mor’zul has waiting a long time to get his hands on one of the dreadlord’s calling
stones.
Were it not for our current task, we could outfit an army with these dreadsteeds.
This one though, this will serve a greater purpose.
With the lure of this, Arax’ath will not be able to restrain the Wrathsteed, so long
as we can keep the portal open, it will come.
“I will activate the portal.
Once it’s open, I’ll need you to place the Calling Stone to draw Arax’ath and the
Wrathsteed through.
No doubt he will send his minions to stop us.
Maintaining the portal will require all of my strength, so I will rely on you to hold
them off.
Now, let us pierce through the Twisting Nether and take what is ours!
” “Rak- ath varus mir’enon!”
“Vae Xoroth!”
Arax’ath: “What is this?
A mortal wishes to peer into my realm?!”
“The way is open, warlock!
Activate the calling stone!”
Place the calling stone “What?!
You dare try to summon my steed?”
“Acolytes!
Rain fire upon this insect!”
“Arax’ ath is protecting his acolytes with a fel shield!
You’ll need to dispel it to take them out!
Xorothian rituals come out of the portal as well as their fel knights, but we won’t
let anything stand in our way of our sexy new class mount.
“My worthless minions may have fallen, but I will not let you prevail.”
“I will cut you down myself!”
Arax’ath can no longer hide behind his troops and is forced to face us himself, a fight
that was surprisingly challenging for my low geared little warlock.
He casts void bolt, places patches of void on the floor and he casts hand of Arax’ath
which summoned a bunch of fel imps which hurt quite a bit of you let them overwhelm you
so we make sure to cast some Rain of fire on them before they can do any real harm.
“The Wrathsteed will never be yours, mortal!”
It took me quite a bit of time to get him down, but in the end...we got it done!
“Impossible...Quickly, enslave the Wrathsteed before it escapes!”
Enslave, not banish you dummy “Excellent work!
We must convene the council.
Only with their combined strength can we bind a beast of such power.
Restrain the beast, and I will summon them to us...”
Cinematic: Hello council, thanks for keeping the beasty in check.
Ow guess you don’t.
Don’t worry guys, I got this...as usual.
Rise up and behold, my beautiful new mount.
Hiyaaaaa
And that’s how the warlocks obtain their Netherlord’s Chaotic Wrathsteed , but there
are 2 more color variations to obtain.
The Netherlord’s Brimestone Wrathsteed is sold by Calydus for a thousand order hall
resources after you fill up your artfact and the Netherlords’Accursed Wrathsteed drops
from none other than Lord Hel’nurath who’s a rare spawn on the Broken Shore.
All in all, I quite enjoyed this one.
Some references to the old quest, the fight was kinda fun and the mount despite being
another horse, I quite like it.
The summon animation is awesome and it fits my warlock quite well.
With that we’ve reached the end of the video so as always thank you very much for watching
everyone!

time guys....see ya!
