Hello everyone!
The Burning Legion has invaded azeroth once again and warriors are able to pick up 3 different
artifacts to empower them in this war.
For Fury warriors, the Warswords of Valarjar await.
These blades imbue the hatred and stride between Odyn and Helya and the history behind that
is that once upon a time, titan keeper Odyn actually saw the titan-forged sorceres Helya
as his adopted daughter.
They were close and she helped him lift a part of ulduar into the sky and they named
it the halls of valor.
From atop his new domain, Odyn proclaimed to the vrykul down below that those found
worthy, those who died in glorius battle would be taken up into the halls and live again
within mighty stormforged bodies to become valarjar, azeroths formost guardians.
Odyn needed someone to guide the spirits of the dead back to his halls, but nobody really
volunteerd to become a valkyr, cursed to live as a phantom being.
Since nobody stepped up, Odyn figured he would enforce the job upon some poor soul which
Helya was not oke with.
She confronted the titan keeper, told him to step away from this foolish plan or she
would return the halls of valor to Ulduar.
With speaking out like that, Odyn had found his victim as he lashed out and shattered
helya’s physical form, twisting her spirit into the first of the valkyr.
She hated Odyn for what he had done to her, but she also found herself unable to disobey.
She was a slave to his will and she went about transforming more unwilling vrykul into the
cursed valkyr and for ages she and those unfortenate enough to join her, they were the ones who
brought the souls of heroic vrykul to the halls of valor where Odyn trained and empowered
each of them.
The most talented blacksmiths among the vrykul were asked to create weapons and armor for
these peerless warriors.
Keeper Odyn was awed by the work of one smith; his shields were light and strong, truly astonishing
in the hands of a skilled fighter.
Odyn tasked him to try someting new.
"Focus not only on mere defense," the keeper said, "but also on the poetry of aggression."
The smith heeded Odyn's words and soon presented the keeper with two of the finest warswords
ever made on a vrykul forge.
Odyn did not merely accept them; he blessed them with his powers, hung them up in the
halls of valor to motivate the valajar.
"These will be carried into battle by only the greatest among you," Odyn said.
"So go, then.
Prove yourself worthy."
It would be many years before someone rose to the challenge...
Always aggresive, Ingvar led a raiding party to investigate a cave that seemed to be dripping
with dark magic.
Inside they found something terrible: a pack of creatures that had been corrupted by the
Old Gods.
When the Old Gods' war against the titan-forged had been all but lost, the old god C'Thun
quietly lashed out worldwide, seizing the minds of whatever the entity could touch.
Ingvar and his comrades were frighteningly outnumbered, but they did not run.
Most of the vrykul fell in minutes, but Ingvar remained standing.
Though badly wounded, he fought his way through the cave and destroyed every enemy inside.
After his last breath, the Val'kyr Helya sent his spirit to the Halls of Valor, where Odyn
welcomed him with open arms.
Ingvar's death had been a noble sacrifice that resulted in victory against incredible
odds.
Keeper Odyn declared him a paragon among the Valarjar and bestowed upon him these warswords.
In times of great peril, Ingvar was always the first to lead the Valarjar into the fray,
but the choices Odyn made would soon come to haunt him.
Titan keeper Loken fell to the corruption of Yogg-Saron and he wanted to put Odyn and
his valarjar out of commision.
For this, he made contact with Helya and he made her a deal.
He would liberate her from Odyn’s control and in exchange she would seal Odyn and his
troops within the Halls of Valor.
Hatred still burned in Helyas heart and she gladly accepted the deal.
Odyn and his mighty valarjar struggled desperatly to escape the floating citadel, but not even
their might was enough to break the barrier and only those who were outisde of the halls
at the time, were able to escape this prison.
Helya herself was now free from her life of servititude and she decided to forge a new
home for herself and the other valkyr.
Far below the halls of valor, she created the domain called Hellheim, bound to azeroths
great seas which would act as a final destination for many of the vrykul spirits after death.
Yet the darkness that had made their home in helya’s heart transformed her created
realm into a place of nightmare and shadow.
The souls of the dead vrykul who arived at hellheim, they found themselves turned into
vengeful beings called kvaldir.
One of the valarjar that found himself outside of the halls was Ingvar and he took his warsword
and immediately retaliated, hoping to defeat Helya
and free Odyn.
As a Val'kyr, Helya had tremendous control over the spirits of the deceased.
Champion or not, Ingvar understood that he was facing a fight he likely would not win,
but there was no one else who could try.
Ingvar found Helya and tried to strike her down.
In his hands, these swords nearly overwhelmed her.
But in the end, she overpowered his spirit and smote him into oblivion.
His swords fell to Azeroth and Helya kept them as a memento of her victory over Keeper
Odyn.
Over several millennia, Helya claimed as many souls of slain vrykul as she could, and her
ranks of Kvaldir continued to grow.
She began to go after the souls of not just the heroic vrykul dead but also the living.
Any vrykul who seemed poised to learn the truth about the conflict between her and Odyn
became a target, and she had her Kvaldir slay them with ruthless efficiency.
She started to raise her own champions, the Helarjar of Helheim, and she had them search
Azeroth for her enemies.
Eventually, one of these Kvaldir caught Helya's attention.
Vigfus Bladewind distinguished himself in battle against vrykul, and Helya decided that
he was worthy to bear these swords for all time.
What better way to end the lives of Odyn's faithful than with two of his prized creations?
Vigfus Bladewind used these swords to kill many vrykul heroes over the years.
Helya even committed some of her own power into the blades, just as Odyn had.
Not only did their lethal potential increase, but they made it easier for Helya to claim
their victims' souls.
In truth, it is her power that makes these weapons truly magnificent.
Her power, laced with her hatred, crashes endlessly against Odyn's spirit.
So it is Vigfus Bladewind that we must find so we’re send to Tideskorn Harbor where
a full cargo of stolen souls s set to be taken to Hellheim.
We light the bonfire which pisses off the Kvaldir caus it makes the mist disapear all
the while we’re trying to get Bladewinds attention.
Nothing seem to really bother him so we move further down and liberate the souls ready
for transport.
It’s interesting that amongst the souls we find not only vrykul, but also humans and
trolls.
Hellheim and the halls of valor seems to be more of a vrykul afterlife, so I guess that
Helya decided to send her valkyr to also collect the souls of our fallen troops.
The afterlife could make for a great seperate video, but after letting the souls go, Vgifus
finally shows up:
“Vigfus: What are you idiots doing?
Well now...what is this I sense?
A soul that radiates great power!”
Cinematic enter Vigfus bladewind: “I will take you to hellheim myself “hero of azeroth”
“Then come meet death, hero!”
We smack Vigfus around for a bit until he runs away and leads us to an area where Helya
can elp him out.
“This prey has quite a bite!
Follow...if you dare!”
“A little further before we fight, hero!
I have a surprise for you.”
“Helya!
Aid your champion!
I will claim this prize in your name!”
“Specter of Helya: So this is the champion of Odyn!
let them die by Odyn’s own blades!
I bless these weapons with the fury of Hellheim!
Go, Vigfus!
Slay this champion and earny my favor for all eternity!”
Not even the additional powers granted by Helya are enough for Vigfus to take us on
and we claim the blades originally crafted for the mightiest of valarjar, infused with
not only Odyns power but helya’s aswell.
“I see only darkness.
Helya...no!
No!”
“Vigfus, you weak fool!
Your torment will be unending!”
Pick upWarswords of Valor cinematic
“I grow weary of your presence!
Tell Odyn that this changes nothing.
He will suffer my wrath for ages to come!”
Vigfus says the same thing as Arthas did at the top of icecrown.
A connection between Helya and the hell arthas ended up in or does blizzard simply like the
quote?
Like I said, the afterlife might make for an awesome video in the future but for now
warriors will wield the warblades in the war against the Legion as they adventure through
the broken isles.
However, those are a story for another day so for now thank you very much for watching
everyone.
