Nobbel87Patch 7.3earlier lookHello everyone! The heroes of Azeroth have assaulted the tomb of sargeras, used the Pillars of Creation to seal of the gateway created by Gul’dan while Illidan used the Sargerite Keystone to tear a massive rift in reality, showing the world what he had always known.Whispers of a Frightened World

“Sometimes the hand of fate must be forced!”

An emerald sun dawns in the vault of the heavens, but it casts no shadow.

The world lifts her voice in terror, but only one can hear her cries.

From the space that is everywhere and nowhere, the crooked serpent feasts on stars. It has no eyes to see, but it dreams of infinite endings and beginnings.

The Hand of Fate

Velen: “At long last the vessel that will usher us to Argus is complete. Make way to Stormwind Harbor at once. The time has come to bring an end to this war. “

Vereesa: “We will soon see if the Horde heeds Velen’s call. Those savages lack any sense of honor, but they do know how to fight.”
Arator: “We must find the Army of the Light. With them fighting alongside us, the Legion will fall. We must find...”
Boros: “Your mother and father yet live, Arator. I am sure of it. But for now, stay focused on the fight to come.”
Boros: “Prophet Velen will be pleased that you answered his call. We Draenei have long awaited this day.”
Liadrin: “The Legion has run rampant on Azeroth for too long. It is time to see this done.”

Aethas: “I see the Alliance answered the call as well.”
“Looks like they showed up after all.”

“I’ve never seen the Draenei assemble a force of this magnitude.”
“Argus is our ancestral home. We will not see it in the Legion’s hands any longer.”
“Then my parents can finally return home.”
Velen: “Fellow Draenei...champions of Azeroth...the time has come to invade Argus. We will save our world and put a stop to the Burning Legion...once and for all.”

Illidan: “The Legion grows desperate. We should strike now while their attention remains focused on Azeroth.”
“You are right, Illidan. This may be our best chance to gain the upper hand.”

Journey to Argus Cinematic

“All forces are on board and accounted for. The Vindicaar will be ready to depart shortly.”
“After we reach Argus we will meet with the Army of the Light and begin our invasion.”
Cloenk, cloenk, cloenk, cloenk oeee look at me. I’m illidan, swoon. Aight best move out of here, he’s gonna be a Illidan.
“Does he understand what you’re truly asking of him? Do any of them?”
“We follow the path of the Light no matter where it leads.”
“He, your faith has always been your weakness.”
“When you closest allies fell to darkness, you didn’t stop them. When the Legion swept over your world and took your people, you didn’t make a stand. All you did was watch, convinced you were following the Light’s will.”
“The truth is, you failed your people. Their blood is on your hands.”
Cloenk
“You will never understand what I did to save my people.”
“The Light is holding you back. It’s time to forge your own path.”
“Prophet, we are ready.”
“Proceed.”
Eyooo argus, we’re hoooooome.
Ow my, it’s looks rather green.
“Where is your Army of the Light?”
There they are! Surprise
“The Xenedar.” Sooo shiny
“Something is wrong.”
“Ahh...the cowards have come out of hiding. Bring them down!”
Oke garrosh, fire ze laser. BAWOESJ, we’ve been hit, ow no, ow no, owww yeaaaa. Perfect landing.

The Assault Begins

“There are no guards this close to their weapon?” “Something is wrong.”
“This is no mere siege weapon...” Surprise motherduckers!
“We must stand together. For Azeroth.”
Antaen Light-Breaker stands up and strikes out. Attack on titan here we go.
“The Xenedar’s fall shall not have been in vain!”
“Hold fast, Champion. The goliath wavers!”
“Look out!”
Down Antaen goes.
“Whatever that thing was, I doubt that was the only one in Sargeras’ arsenal. Soon the entire Legion will decent upon us.”
“We will hold our ground. I only pray there are survivors among the Army of the Light.”

“We won’t be able to sustain another attack from one of those creatures. We must bolster our forces.”
“The krokul slaves fled somewhere further down the ridge as they were freed. They could not have gone far. They could be valuable allies in our fight.”
“You assume much of their loyalties. Risk your life if you must. I will prepare our forces for the inevitable counterattack.”
“As you wish. Come hero. I can feel their presence not far from here.”

“Be on your guard, champion. The Legion is skilled at deception. We may well be walking into a trap.”
“Stay close. We are being watched. This hovel feels...familiar.”
“Prepare yourself, champion. We are surrounded.” “Show yourselves!”
Krokul pop out of the shadows, haiii
Chief Hatuun: “Velen. At long last, you return to the home you abandoned.”
“That voice...Hatuun? How did you survive this hell for so long?”
“We changed, just as Argus did. We endured. What choice did we have?”
“I have no wish to fight you, Hatuun. But I cannot allow your bitterness to impede our war against the Legion.”
“You turned your back on your people, Prophet. Your world. Such betrayal should be answered with death. But your ally saved many of us from the Legion’s grasp. Perhaps you have changed. ”
Turalyon: “Enough!”
Ow hai there High Exarch Turalyon.
“Stay your weapons! The prophet and his ally are not our foes.”
“We must stand together, all of us. If we are to have any chance of defeating the Legion.”
“High Exarch Turalyon...we meet at last.”

“Hatuun’s people saved me from the Xenedar’s fall. Many others were not so fortunate. They hold the ground around the crash site fighting for their lives.”

The Куренай faction, meaning "redeemed," is a group of escaped Broken draenei in Outland Nagrand - earning reputation rewards Talbuk mounts like Поводья кобальтового боевого талбука.
The Пеплоусты-служители faction, led by Акама, is another group of Broken which struck a deal with Illidan to ensure their survival. As you progress through the Black Temple questline, you understand their motivations and allegiances more.

Turalyon and Alleria

Turalyon! I am pleased you continue to thwart the Legion’s best efforts to kill you. What of Alleria? Is she...” “The last time I saw her was on the Xenedar. She was still...under guard. Alleria’s out there somewhere old friend. I know it. And other survivors as well. But thousands of demons stand between us and our allies. We must thin the Legion’s ranks to have any hope of reaching the Xenedar alive.”
“Then that is what we will do, High Exarch.”

“Was she here for days? Years? Centuries? The mage was right...time has little meaning in this place.”

“Whatever happens, we stand together.”

“Alleria! Perfect timing, as always.”

Family Reunion

“Are you alright, Turalyon?” “I am. In no small part thanks to our friend her. But Alleria...there’s something else. When the ship from Azeroth arrived, I sensed his presence. I would know it anywhere, even after all the years we’ve spent apart.”
“Arator! He’s here!”
Call down beacon
“Every day for a thousand years, I’ve thought about what I wanted to say to him. Now, though...words fail me.”
“I know my love. I feel the same. But once we see our son, our hearts will speak for us.”

Arator: “But...couldn’t you have reached out to us? To your people? To me?”
“Arator...not a day passed that your mother and I didn’t –“
“Every choice we made was to keep you safe. It broke our hearts to be apart from you.”

“Son, there is so much more we have to say, but our allies at the Xenedar will soon be overrun.”
“You must go to their aid, Turalyon. I will scout behind enemy lines and provide a distraction. We will return soon, Arator.”
“I...understand. Light be with you both.”
“Stay safe. We will gather the others and prepare for the battle to come.”
Teleport out
“It pains me to see them go, Aunt Vereesa. I could not bear to lose them now, not after waiting all these years.”
“Have patience, Arator. It may take time, but your family will be whole again. I know it.”
“No doubt my mother will soon ask about Sylvanas. What are you going to tell her?”
“It is a conversation I know we must have, but the thought of it fills me with dread. How can I explain to Alleria what our sister has become? The truth will break her heart.”

Survivors of the Xenedar

“My scouts found the remains of Aggonar. We are in your debt, High Exarch. And yours, outlander.”
“The Legion will only fall if we stand together, chieftain. And right now, we have friends facing grave peril.”
“There is a way. We will use what power we have to help you.”
“A tunnel! So this is how you have survived...”
“We have hidden. We have adapted. In our hour of need, this land still listens to our pleas.”
“I will go on ahead and clear a path. The bridge leading to the Xenedar seems to be the least guarded. Light be with us.”

Taraafash: “You’re not going anywhere, ‘champion.’ The master has plans for you!”
Captain Fareeya: “Not today, monster! The Light prevails!”
One shot lol get rekt.
“Fareeya! You survived!”

Rescuing Xe'ra

“I sense Xe’ra in the central chamber. Thank the Light! We are not too late.”
“And what then? I was locked in a cell for delving into the Void against her wishes. Will she make me a prisoner again? Or worse?”
“Xe’ra will see that you risked your life to save her. Her faith in you will be restored – I know it!”

“Xe’ra, don’t worry. You are safe now.
“Come champion. Help me guide her to the Vindicaar, then we can get out of here.”

“Our troops will finish securing the Xenedar. Though we retrieved its most precious cargo, we cannot let the vessel fall into the Legion’s hands. Place the beacon at my location. We’re coming home.”
