Hello everyone! Last week we forged a crown fit for the prince to wield the
medallions of power we’ve been gathering, but in the meantime heroes of the world
have gathered their numbers and conquered castle nathria. Disposing of Sire Denathrius,
now trapped in his blade Remornia but also running into an old familiar spirit
“Kaelthas sunstrider, oyu are free from the sires tyranie but you cannot escape your own deeds.
Come with me and i will help you find attonement.”
In life Kael’thas lead his people through the most dire of times. They were still high elves
back then, enjoying the good magics of the Sunwell but that all changed when Arthas and the Scourge
showed up. Arthas Menethil, now an agent of the Lich King with frostmourne in hand, frostmourne
connected to the jailer, he was on a mission of bringing back Kel’thuzad as a lich and to do that,
they we’re going to need the powers of the sunwell. Despite their best efforts and many
brave heroes giving up their lives, like Sylvanas Windrunner, none were able to defend the high
home of the elves. Kel’thuzad was brought back, corrupting their ancient fount of power. Kael’thas
had no choice but to destroy it, revealing the addiction of the elves that had formed itself
over generations. Not only that, there was also the undead scourge left behind in their lands.
While the prince tried to work together with the alliance at first, Grand Marshal Garithos
made that quite hard by giving him near impossible tasks. Even pushed it so far to place Kael’thas in
the dalaran prisons to await their execution. With promises of salvation for his people,
not to mention avoiding the executionar, the prince eventually teamed up with and Lady Vashj
and Illidan Stormrage but that salvation never came. Illidan kept his secrets close and Kael’thas
was lured to the dark side, to the demonic side. Now allied to Kil’jaeden the deceiver and quite
addicted to fel magic, he turned against his own people. Tried to summon Kil’jaeden into the
world... until we put a stop to him. Send him off into the shadowlands where he was deemed worthy
for Revendreth. Normally Revendreth would help him try to attone for his sins in life, but not
anymore, not under the rule of Sire Denathrius. Instead they amplified them, adding anima and
the sins of others to the prideful prince’s soul while his pain and hatred are channeled to make
him a powerful weapon. Kaelthas was on the verge of destruction when we rescued him from nathria.
Unstable – confused and pushed to the edge of its own existence. The Curator has taken it upon
herself to try and redeem him, a task which is going to need all the help it can get...
“Out of my way! I shall avenge my people.
Impudent child! You do not give orders here. The very arrogance that doomed you in life...”
“Help me identify the true sins of kaelthas sunstrider.
What character flaw most hindered kaelthas. Jaelousy? Arrogance? Or greed?
“I never had need for gold. I had riches and power to spare!”
“Jealousy? Please. I was superior to him in every way.”ARTHAS
“Your arrogance swells within you, like so many other tyrants! When the sunwell was destroyed
and kaelthas was desperate to regain a magical connection for his people,
who did he surrender his will to?
The Lich King... The old Gods..or the burning legion?
Never! That monster took everything from me! The old gods held no sway over me!
Kil’jaeden exploited your arrogance, paranoia, and obsession to bend you to his will!’
“I have found the heaviest burden on kaelthas sunstriders soul. How did kaelthas
fail his people? Did he abandon his people? Betray his people? Or corrupt his people?”
“kaelthas sunstrider commited all of these sins against his own people.
YOu cannot judge me! I did what was needed to save my people.
You did what oyu wanted, and everyone else bore the consequences!
Kaelthas sunstrider...you failed your people.”
“You will continue to unravel if we do not exact the excess anima from your soul, Kaelthas.
I will take you to a place where we may expunge that anima in a productive manner.”
“This place is in shambles.” “So are you. That is why we are here.”
The curator has no chill. At Darkwall tower, the place where prince Renethal suffered a
great defeat, we help kael’thas humble himself while the curatator prepares the next ritual.His
current state and trauma requires nothing short of perfect intervention and instruction to correct.
When prince renathal fled darkwall tower, he was forced to leave many people and belongigns behind.
The powerful relics and weapons were long ago carted off to the masters lair, but the prince’s
dredgers were forced to stay and serve the masters traitorous lackeys here instead. We save them
and send them off to Sinfall while also forcing kael’thas to give up that extra anima that’s
bursting out of him. True leaders sacrifice of themselves to empower those under their care.
Many stoneborn and gargon, including the prince his own pet,
were left dormant in darkwall by the masters forces. That anima he carries will be of great
use to reanimate them while the prince things we’re focusing too much on his negative traits.
he also has incredible strength, might as well put that to good use while he has it.
Lets find the usurper that took this tower from the prince and get some vengance!
“YOu call this a challenge? I shall burn your world to ashes!”
“No you will show her mercy. Your enemy will live.”
“MErcy is a weakness! She will-“
YOU are weakness! Your obsessive arrogance blinds you! In time, i will free you of it.”
But first we free him of those extra sins bound to his soul by the master.
Something that would be a crushing burden for even the most noble of souls – which kaelthas
is not. Let us hope our time with him has prepared his soul for the ritual.
“This ritual will help you expel the excess anima trapped inside of you kaelthas.
IT will hrut, but no more than you deserve.
Now kaelthas, expel the anima! No..>I want...its power...
Impotent fool! That anima binds your sinstone! Release it or i will throw
you into the maw myself! ARGGGHGHGHGH
Stand down! I will deal with this manifestation. Burden of others handled.
I am....free....
Hardly. That sinstone still belongs to you, kaelthas sunstrider. Tend to it.”
Sinstone of kaelthas: Kael’thas Sunstrider,
Lord of the blood elves. Deserter. Traitor. Tyrant. In the wake of his peoples devastation,
kaelthas sunstrider abandoned the survivors in pursuit of vengeance.
Instead of seeking a cure for his people, kaelthas sunstrider led them
into corruption for the sake of power. Rather than rebuild his kingdoms legacy,
kaelthas sunstrider bartered it to the legion as a conduit for darknesss.
Pride. Greed. Wrath. To redeem this soul, all three must be expunged.
He’s not free of the corruption from the master, but far from liberated of his own sins.
Onwards to the chalice district for his next lesson. When prince Renethal made his final stand
at darkwall tower, he called for aid from the many noble houses here , but none came. Most simply
avoided the conflict, out of self preservation. A shameful, but understandable choice. However,
one house took action. Lord blackbale replied with cruel mockery and sent his stoneborn to
aid the masters armies instead. Renethal has not forgotten that betrayal and since Kael’thas is so
fond of vengeance lets give him some by taking out the stoneborne. As we do,
we come across a suspicious weapon unlike those wielded by most venthyr, yet the marks it bears
are unmistakably familiar... The essence of their power feel familiar to Kael’thas as well so we
have to discover where these weapons came from and who imbued them with such power.
“An opportunity to test out my new weapon!’
Bolt, dredger, with them. Bolt not much of a fighter though more of a hugger. What you
are is worhtless. Im tossign you back in the pool after this! Oh i loves swimming.
“The tithelord will have your head.”
“These venthyr are in league with a lich?!
The accuser must allow us to hunt down and destroy it!”
Our old friend the tithelord, harvester of envy, is the one controlling this operation.
Working together with a lich from Maldraxxus...we’re getting closer and
closer to revealing the identity of the one who’s been causing so much trouble behind the scenes.
“I must inform prince renathal of the maldraxxus threat immediately.
I am placing kael’thas under your care maw walker. Humble him.
We are the only thing standing between you and oblivion kaelthas.”
The note we picked up mentioned a meeting in Darkhaven. Now kael’thas wouldn’t want
to tell us the best way to obsolve his sins as the accuser insists we do, howeverrrrr,
what if we would investigate? Gather some more information and present it to the accuser and
Renethal. It could be quite useful to them and a very selfless act of assistance on his part...
“The death of the master surely means – The masters removal changes nothing.
Tell lady quix’ara that i am still in charge and – ...
MY carriage is upstairs. We will finish this discussion on the way.”
Stowaway on the tithelords carriage
“Now that we are away from itching ears. You can reassure lady quix ara that our plan
remains intact. We may even be able to increase the rate that we are supplying her with anima.
That would please the archlich greatly.
Of course it would. Inform your lady i am still in charge.
Everything will proceed unless she fails to uphold her side.
The archlich will not allow her failure. I am pleased that we see eye to eye.”
If you’re part of the necrolords then the next bit will look familiar as the two covenants now pretty
much do the same thing. Disrupt the maldraxxian camp and put a stop to their operations,
but it’s a bit disapointing that it doesn’t really line up with eachother. You could just imagine
Draka showing up and joining this bit of the campaign, but the way we get here,
the dialogue in between, the conversation at the end...it’s not compatible. You’ve got the venthyr
going in here taking care of business and then the necrolords doing it again... Bit of a shame,
but what can you do. With the camp and their operations put to a stop it’s time to confront
lady Quix’Ara, the one send over by margrave Sin’dane to oversee the encampment. Lets have
a little chat, maybe even find out who this archlich is they all keep yelling about.
“So you fools have discovered us at last.” “Unbind me. What magic is this?
Why are you sending anima to maldraxxus? WHo do you serve? Answer me.
You cannot stop my master. HE is allied with the banished one himself.
Who? Who is your master?
I serve the mighty kel thuzad and he will conquer all of...ARGHGHGHG
I will return... Kel thuzad! The defiler of the sunwell! at last
i will claim justice for silvermoon!”
Finally the new baron for the house of rituals has been revealed. None other then Kel’thuzad,
allied to the jailer, has been pulling the strings behind the scenes. This former human
found himself allied to the Lich King and used his cult of the damned to spread the plague across the
lands of Lordaeron. A plague not only designed to kill, but to then also bring them back as undead,
bound to the will of the Lich King. We took him on during classic,
but his phylactery, the thing binding him to the mortal world was never destroyed.
This allowed him to make a return in Wrath of the Lich King, yet once more, that phylcatery
evaded us. As a lich, he’s probably more at home in the shadowlands then we are.
At the same time, it seems like our time with Kael’thas has not been a complete waste.
He might boast and come across as arrogant, but he’s also reflecting on his past life...
After the sunwells destruction and the near extermination of my people, i vowed to claim
vengeance upon arthas and kelthuzad. But i needed power to see that happen and to seize that power
i...kaelthas grows quiet. I...am ready to return to sinfall. I must recover my
strength for what lies ahead. as the accuser is so fond of reminding me, i have much to ponder.
“Make no mistake. I will have my vengeance! But..>i suppose i can afford a measure of
patience. Be sure to inform the accusor of my selflessness.”
“So it is true. The tithelord is working with maldraxxus.
We must plan our next move carefully. No more surprises.
I shall extract more information from the souls we recovered from the masters lair.
And i shall reach out to my most trusted contacts in maldraxxus.
Come kaelthas. You served well today, but nothing has been atoned for.
You speak of atonement? It is the lich kelthzuad who will atone for his crimes!
I will burn his icy bones to ash!
Focus on yourself. your hatrred will only hinder you.”
We’ll need some time to calculate our next move, join forces with the necrolords and deal with
Kel’thuzad, but that will be for next time. For now thank you very much for watching everyone!
