NEW Stage 8: Return to the Warchief

Return to Warchief Hellscream at Beastwatch.

Stage 9: Narrow Escape

Escape from Draenor with Eitrigg and the Mag'har.

Warchief Hellscream! An army approaches!

How many do we face, Lantresor?

All of them.

All?

...

Lantresor, ride as hard as you can! Gather every orc you see and bring them here!

Overlord, Eitrigg, hold the line here with me!

$n, head to the top of the tower and rain hell on the Lightbound!

They are too many! We cannot hold this line forever!



Grommash Hellscream. It has been a long time.

High Exarch. A rare... honor.

I have come to offer you one last chance to embrace the Light.

Your people are choking the life from this world... dooming the land to desiccation.

How can you be so blind, Yrel? It is the Light that has doomed this world!

It pains me to lose an old friend, Grommash. But... very well. We will settle this your way.

<Grommash lowers his voice so only the Mag'har can hear.>

Geya'rah, get everyone out of here. Now. No questions.



For the Mag'har! For Draenor! Lok-tar ogar!

Gather round quickly! We have only one chance!

No! I will stand with my Warchief!

Do not let his sacrifice be in vain! We go! NOW!

Die well, Grommash Hellscream.

Elune save us!

Why is this happening?!

Finding Jaina

Katherine: I don't know what to do, Daelin. I don't know what to believe in... who to trust.

Katherine: Priscilla, the greatest friend of my heart... has stabbed me in it.

Katherine: I have nothing... no one... left...

Genn: You have Jaina.

Katherine: Jaina betrayed the kingdom.

Genn: Jaina did nothing but follow her heart. And she's suffered for that.

Katherine: ... and she's suffering even more now. Isn't she?

Katherine: ... I see her... in my dreams.

Katherine: Genn... She's burning.

Katherine, she's calling out to you... You must go to her.

Katherine: It's too late for that.

Genn: If you can hear her... then it's not too late.

Genn: I would give anything to hold my boy again.

Genn: You've been given one more chance.

Genn: Take it. Bring her home. (ALT 1: Take this chance. Bring her home. ALT 2: Do not miss your chance. Bring her home.)

Horde and Jaina

"Jaina Proudmoore.



She once made a choice to spare us from her father's tyranny. I respected that decision, and how difficult it was.



But she could not forgive what Hellscream did to Theramore. She turned her hatred against all the Horde.



She went too far. Killed too many. Her quest for vengeance must be ended."



You will fight Jaina Proudmoore?



"Her. The Kul Tirans. The whole Alliance, if I must.



I love the Horde. I made a promise to Thrall that I would defend it.



No matter who began this war, I will fight until it ends... or I do."

Lilian Voss

Player: You seem to have embraced the Horde.

Lilian: "It seems my skills drew the attention of the powers that be. My services were... ""requested.""

Did you catch the hidden meaning there? Sorry. Despite my profession, I'm not the best at subtlety.

Regardless, I know how to recognize an opportunity when I see one."

"It doesn't take a prophet to see that Sylvanas will use this war as a means of bringing more Forsaken into the world.

My own conversion was... difficult. I had a lot to work through. Many scores to settle.

I haven't let go of all that. But I also feel an obligation to help the newly risen adapt to their situation. Perhaps I can spare them the sort of pain I endured."



Player: And what of the Alliance?

Lilian: "In life, I was raised to hate the undead. Trained to destroy them.

When I became Forsaken, I hated myself most of all.

But now I see it is the Alliance that fosters this malice. The human kingdoms shun their former brothers and sisters because we remind them what's lurking beneath the facade of flesh.

It's time to end their cycle of hatred. The Alliance deserves to fall."

How has your transition been, Zelling?

"I'm not sure if... I still haven't...

This isn't easy, $n.

Miss Voss advised me to focus on the task at hand. She says proving my worth to the Blightcaller is the best way to keep my family safe.

My family..."

They are still in your thoughts.

"They are EVERYTHING to me!

I... I realize they don't want me in their lives anymore. But that could change!

Once they realize it's me, that I still love them, I know they will... they will...

I... I..."

Focus, Brother Zelling!

Void Elves

What is your role in this campaign, magister?

"As a magister, my duty has always been to Silvermoon and its people. When the mad Arthas devastated our lands, I knew we must harness every power available to ensure our survival.



Prince Kael'thas proposed one way. I sought out another."

So you sought the power of shadow?

"My followers and I felt no loyalty to the Horde. When Grand Magister Rommath forbade our Void research, we did not hesitate to break away and follow our own path.



But hubris got the best of me. I was certain I could master any force we encountered.



I was so wrong..."

The Void nearly claimed you?

"I led us right into the ethereals' trap. If not for Alleria Windrunner's intervention, we would have been lost.



As it was, the shadow energies transformed us... and opened our minds to the whispers of the Void. Without Alleria's guidance, we would have fallen into madness.



She has helped us quiet our minds. Dampen the whispers. It is a constant struggle."

Now you fight for the Alliance.

"We do not stand with the Alliance out of convenience. Nor is it a mere gesture of thanks to Alleria.



Our ordeal has taught us the importance of great powers being in the right hands. We could not allow the Horde to know the things we know, or to use us as a weapon in their schemes.



We fight for the Alliance because we believe in its values. And one day, I pray we will bring all of Silvermoon back into the fold."

How fare you, Magister Umbric?

"I struggle to fetter the whispers, same as you. Thankfully, Alleria Windrunner continues to offer us her guidance.



Without her intervention... well, I fear we would have all been lost.



And though I was reluctant to treat with him at first, I have learned much from the Locus-Walker. Just bear in mind that anything he offers is bound to serve his own goals in some way."

Do you believe we have earned the trust of the Alliance?

"So long as Silvermoon stands with the Horde, there will always be those who mistrust us.



But the Alliance is where our people belong. I am more certain of that now than ever before.



Stay the course, $n. Show our comrades in the Alliance that we fight for the same cause.



One day the Horde's grip on our land will be broken, and the children of Quel'Thalas will stand united once more.



I know it."

King Rastakhan



"For generations de Zandalari have warred against de Nazmani. Our borders have been under siege since long before I was born, and my father has only ever known war with de blood trolls. My father thought them pests, and we have let them gather their strength. Now we know the source of it.



They answer to de blood god, G'huun.



We must not fail. If Zuldazar falls, de rest of de world goes with it. They will not stop until de blood god rules all."



"Mythrax the Unraveler is loose upon de world again! We thought him part of legend, a storied tradition meant to warn us against succumbing to de decays of time and complacency. But thanks to that snake Jakra'zet and his Faithless allies this terror lives again.



All is not lost. Jakra'zet met his fate and we have gained new allies in de Vulpera and them who praise de loa Sethraliss. However... I fear even with their added strength we may not prevail against such a foe.



These are dark days... and I hope that they will not be Zandalar's last."



"Rezan... my loa... is dead.



My heart aches. I have never seen such a weight on my father's shoulders. Zul's betrayal struck deeper than any of us could have guessed... even those who suspected him from the very beginning.



Such heresy cannot go unanswered, $n. We must rally our people, our loa, our allies! Only then will we stand any chance of stopping Zul's foul schemes."



"Such devastation Zul has wrought...



I am thankful that you and de Horde are still here, $n. I am glad that my faith was not misplaced. To think de Zandalari might have faced such things alone is... more frightening than words can convey.



If we are still alive when this is over, I hope we can return de favor. De Zandalari are forever in your debt."



"Zul is dead, but at what cost?



De Great Seal is broken. Mythrax de Unraveler walks de world again. An evil greater than any de Zandalari have faced looms on de horizon, and it is called G'huun.



De burden is mine, $n. If I had listened to Talanji, if I had dealt with Zul any of de numerous times his behavior came into question, perhaps this could have been avoided. Perhaps my loa would still live, and I would not have cast my lot in with de loa of death.



This is my shame.



But you, $n, have stood by me. Your Horde fought with us against our oldest foes. De Zandalari will not forget.



I will make sure of it."

Zandalari Dialogue

"Yojamba Isle was an expedition many years ago to Stranglethorn Vale. I was part of the forces who crushed the return of Hakkar to this world. We provided armaments of glory to de heroes who fought that vile abomination of a loa.



When we returned victorious to Zandalar, I made de mistake of overplaying my victory with the Prophet Zul. I may have said some things in public that did not go over well.



Now I serve treats."

"The power that first sat in this throne ruled over all civilized people in this world.



Now look at us, our power choked to a single island. Even de lesser trolls defy our power.



It will not always be this way."

"There you are! Zul's forces tried to oust us but the Horde demonstrated its strength. The fighting is done for now.



We had reason to suspect Zul was working against us. I did not think he would act so soon, or so decisively. I suppose his abilities as a Prophet were not overstated.



We must act to preserve our new allies. Go, and do what you can to restore King Rastakhan to power. The Horde will maintain order here."



"I do not know what the Zandalari king is thinking at this moment, but I know we cannot let these events deter us from our goal. The Zandalari must endure this conflict. The Horde has pledged its swords in defense of these people and we may well stand alone if their gods will not save them.



Now, more than ever, they will look to you. Represent us well, Speaker of the Horde."



"I have been witness to many momentous occasions. I have seen history unfold, conflicts resolve and renew themselves, betrayals, and great victories.



This is a defeat as sure as any. Zul bested us at each turn and achieved his ultimate goal. We cannot let this be the end.



The coming conflict with this ancient foe, a foe these people have faced since the dawn of their race, will shape the fate of the Horde and Zandalari alike. We will answer their call. We will make right that which Zul made wrong.



Be ready, be vigilant, and do not falter, $n."

Drust Druid Magic

"We are and not so different from you, $n. We are guardians of balance, keepers of the cycle. Life is a part of nature, as is death. But as a druid you know this.



Be welcome in our grove."



"I am Ulfar, the last of the Drust Thornspeakers and the teacher of these students. One day my task will be over, I will return to the earth and a new High Thornspeaker will rise to lead, as is the proper way of things.



But that day has not yet come."

"Indeed I am. Not all of my people agreed with the conflict. Have you never seen division among your own?



We Thornspeakers joined Kul Tiran society. Some of their descendants heard the call of the wilds and wished to learn the ancient ways, and so we have taught them."



"An observant one, aren't you?



<Ulfar chuckles.>



Indeed I am, but not all of my people agreed with the conflict. Have you never seen division among your own?



We Thornspeakers joined Kul Tiran society. Some of your descendants heard the call of the wilds and wished to learn the ancient ways, and so we have taught them. Perhaps you hear the call? No?"

"I suppose you're seeking a new pet?



<Ulfar scoffs>



The magic of this place is deep and profound. It has come to inhabit some of the animals of the region. They are powerful manifestations of nature to be respected."

Kul Tiran Ship Story

Long ago, were two children, Koralynn and Domenic.

Koralynn was strong and clever.



She studied the charts of stars, currents and hunting grounds. She watched the sailors and learned.

Koralynn was everything a Kul Tiran should be. Her brother was not.



Domenic was odd. He paced across the decks as if in a dream, often humming.

He lost his balance in the rigging and never picked up on how to properly tie knots or trim sails.



The less said about his attempts to run a galley the better!

So all were surprised when Koralynn picked him for the crew in her first command - including Domenic!

But while Koralynn had been watching and learning, she'd also been watching her brother.

He seemed to know the sea in a way no one else did; when the storms would come, when the tides would change and where to fish for food.

One day they set sail, hunting for Kraken to feed the fleet, but there were none to be found in the usual spots!

One day they set sail, hunting for Kraken to feed the fleet, but there were none to be found in the usual spots! For weeks they could not find food, the situation growing more dire!

Korralyn decided they needed to hunt elsewhere.

"Brother, where do you think we should hunt?" she asked, for his intuition had never steered her wrong.

Her brother considered the question for a long while, as if listening to a song no one else could hear. Then he pointed. "My gut says the shoals near Kalimdor."

"They are dangerous!" the crew cried! "The ship will be smashed to bits!"

"I believe the seas will be calm and the winds sure," Domenic said. The small hunting fleet marveled at the speed of their journey as his prediction proved true.

But when they arrived, the ships found they were the ones being hunted.

A massive kraken, bigger than their largest ship, rose from the depths!

"To port!" Domenic cried in a panic, a tug like the tides pulling him in that direction. The ship turned. "Starboard ahead!" Again his sister followed his direction.

Weaving through the rocks, Domenic's direction was true, but the kraken gained ground in the chase!

Massive stones suddenly rose ahead of them in the waters.

"We're dead!" cried the crew.

Then suddenly, a kraken, three times the size of the one that hunted them, formed from the waters!

I really need to calibrate my surveying equipment before my next outing.

It lifted the fleeing ships over the rocks! The hunting Kraken swam after its escaping prey!

But the waters receded. The beast was impaled on the rocks!

And Domenic, with shaking hands and wide eyes, realized the sea had answered his call.

And that?s why our ships are the bestest!

Bar Food

"I recommend pairing our Patina Pale Ale with my favorite comfort food, Col. Tenders Spiced Chicken.



The light honey of the beer works wonders to balance the spiciness of the chicken. It serves as a wonderful wheaty palate cleanser when the spice gets too overwhelming!"



"I recommend pairing our Hook Point Porter with some delicious Roasted Lasher Seeds.



Don't let the seeds fool you. The roasted, toasted flavors of the lasher seeds really sing when paired with the malty, rich depth of the beer. It may be a strange sounding pairing, but tides help me is it one of my favorites."



"I recommend pairing our Pontoon Pilsner with our zesty Salted Tideway Cod.



The bright bitterness of the beer contrasts the sweetness of the cod rather nicely, while the hops adds a spicy complement to the fish's notable saltiness."



"I recommend pairing our Snowberry Berliner with none other than a Snowberry Custard!



With this pairing you experience both sides of the snowberry's flavor profile: the sour in the beer and the delicate sweetness in the custard. The creaminess of the custard counteracts the pucker of the beer for a whimsical flavor adventure."



"I recommend pairing our Tradewinds Kolsch with my house made Caraway Rye Loaf.



The breadiness of the beer pairs very nicely with the earthiness of the bread, while also cleansing the palate with its carbonation."

Loa Speech

Just as the jaguar stalks her prey for days at a time, even so the wise one acts with patience in all matters.

The foolish are dragged through life by craving and emotion, but fools do not survive long in the jungle.

Just as the jungle bestows the gift of life, even so does it bestow the touch of death.

Those with vision see that nature does not belong to them, but they to it.

These are they who respect the natural order and take only what is required to live.

And so de Prey's Doom instilled in his followers de virtues of patience and respect.

I give you de words of my loa. He spoke thus to his followers:

Just as a king does not trade away his greatest treasure for a mere handful of dirt, even so the honorable one does not barter his integrity for wealth or fame.

Live a life of honor, and it will be a life well-lived.

Just as canyons are carved by the constant flow of water, so too are all great deeds born of perseverance.

Live with unyielding determination and failure will never defeat you.

And so de King of Cats instilled in his followers de virtue of dedication.

I give you de words of my loa. He spoke thus to his followers:

Just as a tiger leaps across rock and chasm while engaged in the hunt, even so the courageous one wastes no time cowering in the face of fear.

Act with courage in all matters and you will not lose sight of your prey.

Just as decay devours the blossoms of the jungle, age devours the strength of youth.

The source of power is not strength, but an indomitable will that age cannot destroy.

And so de Lord of Beasts instilled in his followers de virtues of courage and conviction.

Book Signing

My latest work is a true masterpiece. A literary jewel, drug from the depths of the seas, to dazzle and seduce the reader. Are you here to sing my praises?



"A true fan! What a delight! You must be in a daze meeting me. Do not worry your little precious head, I am just a regular adventurer, like yourself. Except I am an unbelievably wealthy award-winning author, whose fans cross oceans for even the chance to meet me.



Here is your book. I am sure you will cherish it."

Pet Owners

"It started with three cats. Three cats! That seemed reasonable!



But then a friend moved away and needed to rehome her cat. Then I found a sad-looking stray on the street. A neighbor passed away. One had kittens. A couple just... showed up!



I love each and every one of them. I wouldn't trade any of them for the world."

None of these pups are mine. I lost my sweet Willoughby many years ago. So, I come here to find the loneliest one each day. I pet them and tell them what a good dog they are.
