Hello everyone!
With patch 7.2 we have Maiev Shadowsong on the Broken shore who informs us that we need
to rally a new champion to bolster our ranks.
The Shaman return to the Maelstrom where advisor Sevel informs them about a visitor.
She orders entry, but the guards will net her pass without approve so we head up to
the overlook to see who’s knocking on our door.
“I am Magatha of the Grimtotem tribe, and I will be heard!”
Magatha Grimtotem always believed that she should be one to lead the tauren and not Cairne
Bloodhoof.
When Cairne ended up in Mak’Gora with Garrosh Hellscream, she saw the perfect oppertunity.
As was tradition, fighters had their weapons blessed but instead of just blessing it, she
added a bit of poison to the weapon and 1 single strike did the rest.
Cairne who lived his whole life with honor, died betrayed, and of course Garrosh wasn’t
too happy with this.
When Magatha made her move and took over Thunderbluff, she was foolish enough to believe that the
warchief would stand at her side.
Instead he send her a message, telling her that he was looking forward to hearing of
her demise and tht she ws one her own, as friendless and disliked as she had ever been.
Baine, with the financiel aid of Theramore, was able to rally troops and retake the city,
banishing Magatha and all those that remained at her side.
Times didn’t get any better for the Grimtotem as Magatha found herself captured by the twilights
hammer.
We set her free and worked together on stopping the twilights hammer from blowing up thousand
needles and in the end, not only did we set her free, we also equipped her with some very
powerful artifacts, amongst them was the Doomstone.
Her final words was that if our paths would ever cross again, we would die, but seems
like events in Legion have changed that.
The Grimtotem have come under attack, she has lost a few possessions that are dear to
her, and she wants our help.
If we do, she will offer her services against the Legion
“Keep your friends close.
Let’s go child.
We must save my tribe.”
“You head forward from here while I go the opposite way.
I will find you afterward.”
At the Darkcloud Pinnacle we find the Grimtotem Tauren fighting for their lives.
While we go about freeing her people from their cages and killing a whole bunch of demons
along the way, we also focus on getting back the Doomstone which was taken from Magatha.
This artifact of power belongs in her hands, not theirs so we take on doomsayer Baelresh
and reclaim it.
“You want the Doomstone, Shaman?
Come, take it!”
Of course it doesn’t get much easier when your shaman is on a pvp realm, either way,
we return to Magatha after cleaning up the mess here and she already got her Windserpent
Arikara back, which the tauren believe to be a creature of vengeance.
We’re not handing over this powerful artifact so easily though.
It’s safer in Nobundo’s hands and the crone refuses to leave its side, so she’s
welcome to make us a portal back to the Maelstrom or else we’ll simply leave alone with it.
“How do you expect to use the power of the Doomstone if you cannot even open your own
portal?
Foolish child.”
Back at base we have Muln Earthfury who’s not too happy with this monster walking around
in our sacred space.
She murdered their chieftain and he wants us to kick her out, something that most players
probably agree with.
Nobundo knows that it’s infuriating for the tauren to have her here, but it’s more
of a liability to have her out in the world.
It’s better if we keep an eye on her so Muln spits at Magatha’s feet in disgust
as he walks away.
We’re trusted with keeping the Doomstone safe for now while they prepare an appropriate
home for it and while our troops were scouting on the Broken Shore, they’ve stumbled upon
something quite unsettling.
The Legion is busy forcing Azeroth to bend to its will and we cannot allow this any longer!
Do you hear it Shaman?
The rumble of earth as it tries to fight against the Legion’s will.
They’ve assembled their infernals from Azeroth’s stone and now they’re trying to bring them
to life.
“If you think I’m going to let the Doomstone out of my sight, you’re horrible mistaken.
Let’s get on with it.”
We go about sabotaging their foolish rituals while also healing up our people who were
wounded while trying to stop the legion before we arrived.
The eredar in the are are abusing the power of all of Azeroth’s elements, forcing them
to their command with the fel magic.
They succeed to do this through curioisities that the Legion has developed, cores of power
that correspond to each element.
We go about, taking their source of power away by collecting fire, water, earth and
air power cores.
“The powers of water are generally restorative, the most passive and weak of elements.
What did the Legion think to do with it?”
“Consider the majesty of earth...so sturdy, protective, immutable.
Yet when it but shudders, capable of such grand destruction.”
“The demons have their fel fire, so they assume they can control Azeroth’s as well.
Oh, how wrong they are” “Can you hear the wind, child?
It screams for help, for salvation from the Legion.”
Smolderon calls from across the battlefield.
Now it’s his realm that’s being violated as up on the hill, a demon who calls himself
“the flameripper’ is using the power of his realm.
He is extremely powerful and we must take him down, whatever the cost.
“That fiend ravages not only your people, but the land itself!
If there was ever cause to use the Doomstone, that time is now!”
“The Earthen Ring stands with you!”
“That’s it!
Give in to the power!”
We have no other choice but to use the Doomstone which tremendously increases our power, but
it’s a little bit too much to handle...
“Your power is too great!
You cannot control it!”
“Such power...such chaos!
HAHA” “Pull yourself together, child!
What is wrong with you?”
The artifact knocked us out cold, but we able to save the elements from the Legion’s control.
However, it came at a great cost to both our health and our fellow shaman as many of them
came back wounded, dragged along by their fellow shaman.
We have witnessed the havoc the Doomstone can wreak.
It does not belong in the hands of any being, mortal or otherwise, so we place it on a pedestal
within the Order Hall to keep it safe.
Magatha believes we are foolish.
We think we have great power, but we know nothing.
The Doomstone should be used for the greatness it can accomplish!
It will waste away sitting in the Maelstrom.
Perhaps it was a mistake coming here.
Nobundo has requested that the Grimtotem stay.
She stays for her own reasons, not because he asked.
If we need her or her warriors to earn our keep, they will oblige.
But remember your place.
“You will not be rid of the Grimtotem so easily child.
We will earn our place.”
Another powerful ally recruited to our cause and we have bolstered our strength against
the Legion once more.
That is how shamans obtain their new champion, although some are not too happy with it.
Magatha has a very dark history and I personally like that she stays true to her character,
where as other champions are extremely happy to join the fight, she’s selfish, arrogant
and doesn’t give a damn about us being the leader.
She’s there for her own reasons, which I can appreciate, but at the same time I think
this deserved more.
Perhaps have Baine show up instead of Nobundo to explain that we’re doing this for the
greater good and that his father always thought it wise to keep your enemies close.
Something more to justify her being here in the order hall besides Nobundo taking charge
and inviting her in.
Who knows where the story might go from here though, but this is where we’ll end the
video.
