Chapter 144 Windrunner Sisters
Chapter 144 Windrunner Sisters
Dalaran is one of the places Lorraine has never been to.
Last time, in the secret chamber of the Undercity dungeon, Aegwynn used the Memory Projection spell to show Lorraine and her apprentice what Dalaran looked like now.
Over the centuries, Dalaran has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, but its basic structure has remained almost unchanged...
At the heart of Dalaran remains that towering violet magic tower...
All other buildings are built around the magic tower... except for the Anton Danis Memorial, which was erected separately to commemorate the sacrifices made by Archmage Anton Danis for Dalaran.
The overall size of Dalaran is not very large... The towns that once expanded have been destroyed many times, and most of the buildings have shrunk to the city center.
Most of the mages here are low-key and prefer to engage in simple transactions at the magic shop occasionally, spending the majority of their time engrossed in researching various types of magic...
The city's ecosystem is largely self-sufficient and does not rely heavily on external supplies.
However, envoys from various human countries are occasionally invited to visit the magicians, or to hire some powerful figures to become court magicians, even if it is just a nominal appointment, they feel deeply honored.
Some children of nobles, those with magical talent, are sent here to study from a young age.
Arthas, Jaina, Kael'thas, and Kel'Thuzad were all initially apprentices and visitors to Dalaran... Jaina and Kel'Thuzad were both disciples of Archmage Anton Dannis...
Rhonin, the current leader of Dalaran, was once an apprentice of the red dragon Krasus, and Khadgar, the current Guardian of Man, was Medivh's squire apprentice...
Dalaran is the world's center for magical research and a sacred place that all mages yearn for.
When Lorraine was alive, she often heard her employer boast that the lesser magic scrolls and potions came from the legendary Dalaran...
To be honest, Lorraine couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion when he looked at the holy city under the purple barrier from afar.
However, he cannot approach Dalaran as a human apprentice at this time.
During wartime, in a chaotic era, the identity of the undead!
It's impossible for Lorraine to enter Dalaran openly, even though Dalaran has declared itself neutral... Neutrality means neither the Horde nor the Alliance can control it...
Within Dalaran, the Blood Elf faction leaned towards the Horde because Silvermoon City and Undercity had formed an alliance, Blood Knight envoys were still lobbying the Sunreavers, and Horde mages were also eligible to study in Dalaran...
However, although the Sunreaver himself was a member of the blood elves, he preferred to get rid of the political disputes. The high elves were falling apart, and even within Dalaran there were two factions of high elf mages: the Sunreavers and the Silver Covenant.
The attitudes of the Sunreavers and the Silver Covenant are also drastically different; the former, being blood elves, naturally favor Silvermoon City. They also hold a favorable view of the Queen's retinue in Undercity and other members of the Horde.
The high elves of the Silver Covenant have never betrayed humanity; they have been allied with humans for many years. Vereesa Windrunner, the youngest of the Windrunner sisters, is their leader.
Vereesa is the wife of the current Chief of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran, and naturally, she sides with her husband... Her two children are of mixed human and elf blood...
The Silver Covenant is an organization of high elf mages from Dalaran and the former Quel'Thalas Farstriders, and has always been subordinate to the Alliance.
The Blood Elf Archmage Aethas & the Sunreaver, leading the Sunreavers, are dedicated to repairing the relationship between Silvermoon City and Dalaran and rebuilding Quel'Thalas's glory. He indirectly favors the Horde, but primarily favors Silvermoon City and Undercity.
To be honest, Vereesa and her second sister Sylvanas haven't seen each other for a long time.
The three sisters were all elven ranger generals of Quel'Thalas. The eldest sister, Alleria & Windrunner, went to Outland with the original expeditionary force, and her statue stands at the gates of Stormwind along with five other heroes, including Turalyon.
Due to unforeseen events in Outland, the Dark Portal was closed, leaving a group of Alliance and Horde expeditionary forces stranded on the other side.
They lost contact with Azeroth.
The eldest sister actually married Paladin General Turalyon, the leader of the Human Alliance Expeditionary Force, and they even had children in Outland.
......
The second sister's fate was far more tragic; she was none other than our Dark Queen, Sylvanas. In her lifetime, Queen Sylvanas was the Ranger-General of Silvermoon City, leading the high elves in defending the city...
Unfortunately, she was no match for the Death Knight Arthas and was killed by him, turning into a banshee.
Sylvanas Windrunner and her followers, along with many of the original human citizens of Lordaeron who had died at the hands of the Scourge, managed to break free from the Lich King's control.
Those who have awakened the will of the undead call themselves the Forsaken, and they may be enemies regardless of whether they are humans, elves, or the Scourge undead.
Although the blood elves have allied with Queen Sylvanas, the queen is unwilling to easily set foot in Silvermoon City again. She leads a group of avengers to seek an opportunity to take revenge on the Scourge undead beneath the ruins of Lordaeron...
This is a kind of pain...
Even the proud blood elf people didn't know how to face their former hero, General Windrunner...
......
The union of Vereesa, the third sister, and Rhonin stemmed from their shared adventures, their journey through time, and their experience of the ancient wars. The mages of Dalaran face many enemies, but demons have always been the greatest threat...
Khadgar returned alone.
He brought back the treasures of Dalaran...and news of Outland demons and the expeditionary force...
How did he return? Was it really Khadgar himself who returned? A group within Dalaran remained skeptical... because Khadgar's attitude upon his return was strange. He no longer spoke only for humans; he even showed pity for orcs, and his attitude towards the Forsaken was also ambiguous.
Khadgar even openly supported Aethas & the Sunreaver replacing Kael'thas, the former Blood Elf Prince, in restoring his seat in the Kirin Tor Council of Six.
"Is this still the guardian of humanity? The League of Legends hero who once stopped Medivh from closing the Dark Portal?"
The old mages of the human faction were surprised to find that Khadgar had become a different person.
Khadgar, however, said he hadn't changed; he knew who the true enemy of Dalaran and humanity was.
Rhonin understood this, but his wife Vereesa found it baffling. News of his elder sister, the situation in Outland, and the future of the high elves or night elves.
Did the existence of that Nanu in Shattrath City in Outland brainwash Archmage Khadgar and his sister?
The third sister had this question.
She also couldn't understand why the orcs, demons, and dragons, with whom she had long been at odds, had become allies. Now, they could even tolerate those evil undead creatures.
She considered it a disgrace and a tragedy that her second sister had become the queen of the forgotten.
The Silver Covenant sought to prove that the High Elves were the most powerful race on Azeroth, but the High Elf prince Kael'thas ran off with the demon hunter Illidan...
She is the wife of Rhonin, the game general of Silvermoon City and the current leader of Dalaran.
Vereesa is disgusted by the Horde, the undead, and all races and factions outside the Alliance. She and her Silver Covenant members will prove the nobility of the High Elves, the embodiment of justice.
At this moment, the Argent Covenant, led by Vereesa, was in a state of panic within Dalaran, while the Sunreavers remained silent.
The old mages who had originally supported the attack on Undercity fell silent after receiving the message from the Violet Eye.
It's like nothing ever happened...
However, this did not stop the crisis in Dalaran.
The battles that have provoke Undercity, the Horde armies, and Alterac Valley will never end...
