Hello everyone!
With patch 7.2 we have Maiev on the Broken shore who informs us that we need to rally
a new champion to bolster our ranks and Mages are send to the Hall of the Guardian.
Meryl: “Archmage, we have a visitor.
Please meet me in my private quarters.”
This visitor is Aethas Sunreaver, once a member of the council of six who worked very hard
on earning his people, the Sunreavers, a place within the city.
During mists of pandaria, they were forced to work for Garrosh Hellscream, use Dalaran
to steal the divine bell which lead into the purge of dalaran where the horde was kicked
out by Jaina Proudmoore.
With Legion, Khadgar took over leadership and allowed Aethas and his people back into
their city.
He has come to our halls with dire news.
The Legion has been able to sabotage Dalaran’s weapons and worse yet, the saboteur was from
the Horde, one of his own Sunreavers.
The corpse of the saboteur has been found with its soul drained.
There are those on the Council who strongly opposed allowing them back into the Kirin
Tor in the first place.
This gives them all the ammunition they need to lobby for their expulsion yet again and
if that happens, our truce will shatter and Azeroth will surely fall to the Legion.
This means that we’ll have to work together to get our weapons back up and running without
the news of this sabotage spreading.
Archmage Kalec is very knowledgeable about this sort of thing and will most likely know
what to do.
Kalec tells us that Dalaran’s weapons are arcane in origin, but that doesn’t mean
we can’t try something different.
Our order’s vaults contains a vast store of magical devices, perhaps there’s anything
we can use.
We pick up Erno’s Enigma, a Twilight Device, a Coronet of the Lu’minellia, worn by the
ancient high elven kings.
A Crystalized Silithid Essence, created from the blood of one thousand silithid magi and
finally the Nightborne Soulstone which was used to imprison the dreadlord Kathra’natir
during the mage order hall campaign.
It still pulses with Kathra’natir’s contained anger and it may be our best hope to repower
our weapons, if we can up with a way to safely use it without Kathra’natir escaping.
If he were to get loose in Dalaran, that would be a very big problem so we consult with Ari
to see what modifications need to be done.
Ari is very special as she has lived here in the Hall of the Guardian since it was last
in use.
She was once one of the most powerful archmagi on Azeroth and a member of the Council of
Tirisfal.
Unfortunately her mind was badly damaged and she has not left the Hall of the Guardian
since.
She also helped us with finding a book and creating an arcane destroyer while her mind
is still brilliant, but doesn’t always seem to be there.
She thinks the hall has become terribly noisy since the new Tirisgarde arrived and much
preferred to listen to the mice singing amongst the shadows.
When we ask her of a way to safely use the Nightborne Soulstone, she recommends the find
a very stubborn shield generator.
It must be of nightborne origin for a harmonious marriege to be achieved and it must be newly
forged and still unattached.
Anything else will result in disaster.
If the rumors are true, Aethas might be able to help.
Supposedly he has taken a rather striking nightborne apprentice, which is quite scandalous
and we ask him to introduce us to her.
She is currently keeping an eye on an enclave of Felborne resistance fighters who have sworn
loyalty to the Legion.
As the first nightborne to join the Tirisgarde, he is sure that she is eager to prove her
skills!
“I will open a portal to Arcanist Ryanna’s location.
One moment.”
First thing we ask Ryana is how she met Aethas and it’s quite the tale.
She came upon him in Tel’anor caught in a harpy’s bonds without a stitch of clothing!
Considering how harpies reproduce, it’s probably best that she found him.
Now the harpy was so busy arguing with a banshee over who got to play with him first, that
they did not notice her at all.
He looked terrible uncomfortable, so Ryana intervened and the rest is history.
Quite scandalous indeed, but we’re not here for juicy romance novels, we’re here to
find a way on getting the nightborne soulstone to work.
Ryanna is not certain where a new arcane shield generator can be found these days since many
of their craftspeople have been executed.
She’ll think on it, while we help her out with taking out a group of Felborne to teach
them how it feels to be violently surpressed, while also taking care of Keymaster Orillis.
The Felborne insurgents appeear to be guarding a teleporter pad and on the body of Orillis
we find an unusual crystal, edged with nightborne runes, just the attuned crystal we need to
use the teleporter.
It takes us into Master Artificer Nyell’s workshop which has an extensive library of
rare scrolls written by the Nightborn.
Perhaps if we bring back such a treasure trove to the Tirisgarde, they’ll be more welcome
towards Ryana and her kind.
Nyell’ skills in construct creation are unparalleled.
It’s quite a shame that he swore fealty to the legion so we’ll have to destroy him
and with a bit of luck, he might even have a spare shield generator sitting around.
“How did you get in here?
My research must remain secret!”
“My research...dies with me...”
The shield generator we found is much more than it appears.
Ryana does not think her elders would approve of such advanced technology being shared with
outlanders...And yet...They do owe us their lives and our freedom so we may use it, with
her blessing, but she does asks if we can be discreet about its existence.
Back at the halls of the guardian we show what we found to Ari who notices that the
generator is almost a sentient entitiy and very eager for a job to do.
It will be quite content to work with us as the archmages combine their power to infuse
the soul stone with the generator.
It could probably be used right now to channel Kathra’natir’s power, but Aethas wants
to add another layer of protection, just in case.
At the broken shore we siphon fel energie from the bodies of slain Felborne and we show
them the might of the Tirisgarde by taking care of their leader, Lady Remor’za.
“Well done.
Meet me near Lady Remor’za’s tower and I will summon a portal.”
Kathre’natir is now powerless to stop us from harnessing his energy within the Nightborne
Soulstone.
We’re lucky and our allies have kept news of the sabotage from spreading, so now all
that remains is to repair Dalaran’s weapon, all the way at the top of the spire.
“Archmage, I was impressed to learn you captured the demon Kathra’natir within the
Nightborne Soulstone.
Devising a containment shield that allows us to harness his power safely was ingenious!
The Soulstone is in place.
Use the Arcane Matrix to fire up the city’s defenses!”
With the soulstone in place, the city is able to defend itself once again.
It’s quite poetic that one of its major threats, Kathra’natir, responsible for the
creation of the first guardian to keep it safe from the Legion, is now in turn being
used to keep the city safe from the Legion.
“Though employing Kathra’natir’s prison to power Dalaran’s defenses may not be a
longterm solution, I am relieved that the demon’s essence remains contained.
Come, let us return to the Hall of the Guardian.
“
We must not forget that this is a temporary measure.
We can not rely on Kathra’natir for ever, but at least for the moment, Dalaran’s teeth
are sharpened once more.
“Superbly done archmage.
I never doubted your scuees.
To the archmage, to the tirisgarde!
*Cheer*
The events of the past have long weighed heavily upon Aethas and while he does not regret his
actions, he does regret what happened.
If he could go back and change things...
Who knows, but he hopes that in time the Kirin Tor, indeed all of Azeroth, will better understand
his loyalties.
In gratitude, he offers his services and becomes our new champion.
There is a second follower that joins the mages, the one, the only, the magnificent
Akazamzarak.
Akazamzarak: “Hey Bub!
I got a proposition for ya!”
Would you look at this place?
It’s right mess!
Everywhere you look there’s just pile after pile of arcane dust!
These poor saps don’t realize what that stuff’s worth!
If we help the goblin out with summoning up some brooms to collect this powdered gold,
he will split the profits with us 80/20.
This dust has a great use since as well know, Archmage Khadgar just loves to send his followers
to stalk to good people of Azeroth.
First he tormented them during the Burning Crusade with a tour of shattrath city which
took way too long, and then during Legion the blood thing wouldn’t leave us alone.
There’s gold to be made there as Akazamzarak hands us a small crystal which will summon
forth a servant right out of thin air – and a few pounds of the dust we swept up.
We try it out on a few...lucky...
adventurers hanging out in Dalaran.
“Now we’re talking’!
Just look at that thing go” “Don’t worry about our test subjects.
I’m sure they’re used to these things by now.”
“That’s enough testing, bud.
I think it’s time to start thinking about mass production!
Swing back to the Hall of the Guardian, and I’ll give ya little something for your troubles.”
He’s going to make a fortune with selling these new servant to khadgar and of course,
he hasn’t forgotten about our reward.
Now you may think that a sack of gold would be a good reward for our troubles, but he’s
got something better in mind, he’s going to teach us his best trick.
“Alright, now the first thing you gotta do is get yourself a hat with a pocket dimension
portal inside.”
“Then you just fill it with bunnies, aaaaaand...BAM!”
“Here, now you try.”
“What the whatnow!?”
“Something’s up with my rabbits!
Poor little guys...We gotta do something!”
We try to perform the trick but we didn’t exactly summon a whole rabbit so something
going in the hat.
We jump in which gives an incredible point of view to check out what’s wrong.
“Alright pal, just poke around in there and see what’s going on with the rabbits.”
“How did a wolf get in there?!
Well don’t just stand around, kill the thing!”
“Pfew, that was a close one!
Rabbits don’t come cheap, y’know.”
“Hang tight a sec.
I’ll get ya out outta there.”
That’s the last time he’ll order a crate of rabbits from Moonbrook, that’s for sure,
and the goblin knows he owes us.
As a reward we get his spare hat which allows us to perform dazzling tricks.
There seems to be good gold in hanging out with us, so Akazamzarak offers his services
and joins us as our new champion.
“Alright!
I’ll grab my stuff and we can ditch these stiffs.”
“See ya later, prestigidi--, um, prestidigigat – prestidigigatpotato oh, forget it!”
“Hehe!
So long, arch-losers!”
Two powerful allies recruited to our cause and we have bolstered our strength against
the Legion once more.
That is how mages obtain their new champions which means we’ve reached the end of the
video.
