Rise of the blood elves

The next day...or rather, at nightfall the next night.

Outside the west gate of Suramar City, opposite Angmar, stood Elisande, Thalyssra, Valtroy, Oculus and others who came to see him off.

The second wave of night elves that are about to rush to the front line is already ready. Among them are [-] regular Eastern Front troops carrying a large amount of equipment and equipment, [-] temporary recruits from the Suramar region, and [-] nobles headed by Star Eyes. Private armed forces.A dozen priestesses from the Sisters of Elune, as well as the Suramar City Guards led by Jarod Shadowsong, were also among them.

The Mantid chose this time to march west together, not to take care of the night elves who are generally accustomed to being active at night, but just to complete the supply of supplies.

The vanguard led by Lord Ravencrest has completely consolidated the Edori Pass and firmly blocked the demons within the Well of Eternity area.The route from Suramar City to the Eldorei Pass is smooth and there is no danger.The mantid elite troops, whose march speed is far faster than that of ordinary humanoid races, do not have to give up their advantages and must travel together with the night elves.

"I really want to go." Elisande said reluctantly. She always had to be restrained in front of other apprentices.

Angmar comforted him, "Your mission is not to fight, but to protect. Mastering the Eye of Aman'Thul as soon as possible is the right path. Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Elisande nodded solemnly.

Angmar once told him that the Well of Eternity would collapse and explode, causing a cataclysm that would tear the continent apart.The only way to protect the city of Suramar from destruction in such a catastrophe is the Eye of Aman'Thul.Even in the 1 years after the Catastrophe, the Nightwell created by the Eye of Aman'Thul would become the greatest support for the night elves of Suramar who eventually degenerated into the Children of Night. If it had not been for the existence of the Nightwell, social order would have been in chaos. .

The reason is addiction.

When this word is mentioned, people will always think of the high elves who lost the Sunwell, because the two words are connected together.As everyone knows, in the night elves society after the War of the Ancients, the problem of magic addiction was equally fatal, and its severity was even greater than that of the high elves.

The Well of Eternity is the source of magic that has accompanied the night elves for 6000 years. Their health, longevity, and even life depend on it.The problems caused by the sudden loss of this pillar are extremely fatal.

Because people tend to overlook all this because of the good performance of mainstream night elves.

But in fact, the reason why the mainstream night elves, who fled to Mount Hyjal to avoid the disaster of the Earthshattering, were largely protected from the evil addiction lies in three aspects.

First and most fundamental question

After the war, Illidan used three bottles of water from the Well of Eternity to create a new Well of Eternity in Mount Hyjal. Its power was far beyond the reach of the Sunwell created from a bottle of well water.Although the Nordrassil planted above—the second World Tree after its mother tree Garnier—isolated the magic in the well, in fact, because this World Tree was affected by the three Dragon Kings The blessing, to a certain extent, is just a different way of exerting the magic power in the well.The dual factors of magic and blessing in the well allow the night elves living here to still enjoy their former health and long life.At a fundamental level, they have not experienced the pain of completely losing the external "energy source", but have only experienced a process of adaptation.

Secondly, mainstream night elves generally believe that it was arcane magic that led to the invasion of demons, which ultimately led to the near-annihilation of the world. This is a prejudice that arises from not understanding the motives of the Burning Legion to destroy the world.However, this cannot be called a mistake, because people at that time did not know the secrets about Titan and Sargeras. They deeply felt the pain caused by the catastrophe, learned from the pain, and sought changes. This is understandable. Looking from the past to the future , can only be said to be a fallacy of the times.

It has to be said that, apart from causing the mainstream night elves, who had the opportunity to push arcane magic to a new high in the next 1 years, to cut off an arm and lose a major source of support, fortunately, this prejudice did not bring about greater consequences. Trouble.

Again, under the guidance and teachings of those demigods who survived and returned to their home in Mount Hyjal, with the spread of Druid teachings, mainstream night elves also found the psychological support to survive the difficulties.Natural doctrine is a doctrine that is more friendly to Azeroth and can heal wounds better.And compared to other surviving night elves, the difficulties they faced were not difficult at all.

On the other hand, the other surviving night elves, whether they were the upper elf nobles of Elre'Thalas or the night elves of Suramar City, were not so lucky.They were too far from Mount Hyjal to enjoy the protection of Nordrassil, the World Tree.

The former had no choice but to absorb the evil energy of a powerful demon to relieve his addiction, which was tantamount to slow death and eventually led to a catastrophe.

The latter had to rely on the Nightwell created by Aman'Thul, and eventually degenerated into a child of the night who could not escape the source of magic.

Some people may say that Prince Tortheldrin and Grand Magister Elisande are both outstanding figures in ancient society. Why are they so short-sighted that they do such a stupid thing?

In fact, if this were not the case, the social order in these two cities would have been in chaos.The harm of addiction is not as mild as imagined, and the consequences may be far more terrifying than the first two problems.

Angmar can't change much when it comes to the timeline.However, Suramar City has been in a closed state for the next 1 years, almost completely separated from the timeline, and will not affect historical changes. However, it is the best place to absorb historical variables.

After learning of the coming catastrophe, Elisande, who was in charge of the affairs of Suramar City, had already begun to gather the refugees from the eastern plains - in fact, this did not need to be done intentionally.Because after the war, civilians living in helpless villages and settlements had already begun to consciously move and take refuge in important well-defended cities like Suramar City.

In addition, if there is time, Angmar would also like to use the same method to rescue the highborne elves in Elrethalath.For example, bring them a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity so that they no longer have to absorb the dangerous evil energy from Immortar all day long.Of course, since he was not familiar with Prince Tortheldrin before and had been busy with the war with Yogg-Saron, this matter had not yet taken place.

"You should also study the knowledge I left behind." Angmar looked around and took in the expressions of the apprentices.

He not only summarized the magical knowledge of later generations, but also brought some storage devices from Uldaman modeled after the Norgannon Discs, recording many of the profound arcane magical knowledge inherited from the Titans of the Pantheon.If used properly, these two would be enough for the Nightborne in Suramar City to develop an arcane civilization that would dominate Azeroth in the next 1 years.

The apprentices all nodded, but actually they had their own thoughts.

Over this period of time, their perceptions of the prophet have undergone great changes.Especially Thalyssra, who initially misunderstood Angmar's intentions and then experienced a major pain in her life...

Coming and leaving mysteriously, this "cheap mentor" who talks about destiny and the future seems to really just want to make them better.

At first they did not understand what Angmar said, "You are about to take on the important task of leading the people of Suramar City into the future." However, as they have recently emerged, they have become indispensable in all fields of Suramar City in a very short period of time. Important people, they gradually understand, or in other words, can vaguely foresee their future.

For these apprentices, war is their own future... As the prophet's "prophecies" are fulfilled one by one, or are about to be fulfilled, they have begun to understand why Angmar does not define his "prophecies" as illusory prophetic spells. , but some kind of conclusion obtained through the ability to observe the timeline.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. Don't let me down."

Angmar said goodbye softly, took one last look at the apprentices, and the city of Suramar, which had stayed there for several months and was shining brightly in the bright moonlight. He mounted the night saber, flicked the reins, and turned back towards the city. Xalatas, Maiev and others were waiting on the path in the western suburbs...
