To put it bluntly, Ramukaheng's stance is indeed rather vacillating, but this is at best a small disadvantage.
Ramkahen can be trusted in a matter of justice, and they always remember that the Tol'vir are servants of the Titan Guardians.
This can be gleaned from Faoris' unreserved narration later.
Uldum is located in the southernmost part of the Kalimdor continent. It is more remote than Tanaris and has always been inaccessible.
Even the night elves, who own most of Kalimdor, have no interest in this desolate desert.
As a former tropical rainforest, Uldum has the peak of summer for at least 7 months of the year.
The unobstructed scorching sun hangs high in the sky and continues to radiate heat. If the skin without cloth is exposed to the sun, burning sunburn will occur over time.
It is precisely because of the extreme environment in Uldum that the Tol'vir were able to develop with peace of mind for tens of thousands of years, almost isolated from the rest of the world.
Over the years, except for the turmoil caused by Thor's invasion, there was only one time when the pressure of a powerful foreign enemy prompted the three major Tol'vir clans to cooperate.
That is the massive invasion of the Ahn'Qiraj bugs next door.
The power of the Qiraji Empire in its heyday was astonishing, and even the dragons did not dare to be careless about the overwhelming sea of insects.
This is the evaluation given by Onyxia, who secretly watched the first quicksand battle, and it is very pertinent.
This is indeed the case. Even if the dragons participated in the war, the first Battle of Quicksand still caused heavy losses to the night elves, and it is still fresh in their memory even after a thousand years.
It was during that war that Fandral Staghelm lost his only son.
If Sarlayan hadn't intervened in advance and shattered the conspiracy of the original Nightmare King Xavius, Staghelm might have continued on the wrong path in history.
Before the War of Quicksand began, the Qiraji, who were expanding wildly, also invaded Uldum.
However, because there is a towering mountain range between the two places, and only flying insects can cross the mountains, the pressure on the To'vir people is far less than that of the night elves.
Even so, the Ossis clan closest to Ahn'Qiraj also suffered a lot of damage, which indirectly accelerated the decline of Ossis.
"Today, the Ossis clan is no longer able to compete alone with us, Ramukahen and Neferset."
Faoris smiled bitterly and said: "I once offered an olive branch to Wadiye, the king of Ossis, hoping that he could lead the remaining tribesmen to leave the lifeless desert and move to the Golden Triangle to integrate with Ramukahen. For one.”
"Unfortunately, that stubborn old guy refused without hesitation."
"As far as I know, not only did we, Ramukahen, send out invitations, Neferset also sent people to Ossis City many times, but they also returned without success."
Ramkahen sits on the richest golden delta in Uldum, and relying on the food produced in the alluvial plain can support the entire clan without any pressure, and even has some spare capacity.
Neferset is located downstream of the river. The value of the land they occupy is not as valuable as that of Ramukahem. However, thanks to the flood control dam built by Ramukahen, the Neferset downstream also indirectly benefited a lot. , enough for the tribesmen to live and work in peace and contentment.
Compared with these two, the life of the Ossis clan, which is rooted in the middle of the desert, is miserable.
Faoris gave a more pertinent evaluation from an objective standpoint.
"The Ossis clan may be stubborn, but they are very loyal to the mission passed down by their ancestors, far above Lamu Kahen and Neferset."
Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "In that case, it would be a waste to let Ossis continue to be eroded by the wind and sand. Let's take some time to go and have a look, hoping to persuade them to move to a place more suitable for survival." place."
Faoris bowed politely and said, "Then please entrust me, your Majesty. Perhaps you, with Lord Leiden's authority, can convince that old stubborn Valdier."
The first half of Faoris's account was relatively peaceful, but then it became more pointed.
He began to explain the disputes and conflicts between the three clans.
"If Ossis is the most loyal clan to their mission, Neferset is undoubtedly on their opposite side."
Faoris's eyes were very serious: "The contemporary pharaoh of the Neferset clan, Takahen, is very paranoid. He inherited the tragic wish of the Neferset clan for many years and desperately wanted to regain the lost value for his people. 'Eternity'."
Sarlayan frowned and asked in confusion: "What is eternity?"
Faoris shook his head: "Eternity is not an object, but refers to eternal life."
"In the early years, the Neferset clan, like Ossis, firmly upheld the Tol'vir's mission."
"Compared with our ancestors, the original To'vir, the flesh-and-blood To'vir have lost their immortal lifespan and their bodies have become much more fragile."
"Ramukahen and Osis have accepted this fact over the course of countless years, but Neferset has never been able to come out."
"They insist that only by regaining the rock body and infinite lifespan like their ancestors can the Tol'vir better fulfill their mission of guarding the furnace of origin."
"In the beginning, Neferset, who pursued eternal life, could still remember his mission."
"As this persistent belief has been passed down from generation to generation, and after countless generations of pharaohs' supplementary interpretations, the definition of 'eternity' has gradually begun to distort. It has reached its peak in Takaheng's generation."
Faoris sighed and continued: "Today's Neferset has completely forgotten their former mission. In order to gain eternal life and restore the stone bodies of their ancestors, they are increasingly resorting to any means."
"etc."
Sarlayan frowned and stopped Faoris' story.
"King Faoris, is it recorded in the history books of Ramukahen? When did Neferset begin to distort his beliefs?"
"this……"
Faoris was stunned for a moment: "I remember, it seemed to be 1,000 years ago? No more than 1,200 years at most."
"Oh~"
A gleam flashed in Sarlayan's eyes: "Thousands of years ago, it happened to be the time when C'Thun initially broke free from the seal and the Qiraji Empire was at its peak. Isn't this a simple coincidence?"
The Tol'vir have been living in Uldum and lack sufficient awareness of the development of the situation in the outside world.
After being reminded by the barrage for a long time, Sarlayan was already familiar with the historical trends that had happened in the past.
"C'Thun?"
Faoris lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "I have read this name in ancient books. It is said that it is one of the sources of shadow that brings endless disasters to Azeroth."
Sarlayan nodded: "Although there are differences in wording, this sentence is generally correct."
"C'Thun is one of the four ancient gods rooted in Azeroth, a parasite dropped by the Void Lord into Azeroth."
"The ancient gods are good at twisting their wills. In their heyday, even the Titan Guardians could not resist the whispers of the ancient gods."
"In the end, the Titan of the Pantheon personally took action, tearing apart the most powerful ancient god Y'Shaarj, and sealing the other three into the ground."
"unfortunately."
Sarlayan raised his hand and pointed to the west of Uldum: "The Thousand-Eyed Demon C'Thun is sealed next door to you. If nothing else happens, Neferset should have been bewitched by C'Thun. "
Onyxia suddenly interrupted and asked: "C'Thun has been re-sealed. Can those Nefersets who have gone astray be brought back?"
Sarlayan spread his hands in disbelief: "It's hard to say. You have to contact them personally before you can draw a conclusion."
The subtle corrosion of will lasted for a thousand years, and Neferset's obsession was infinitely amplified by C'Thun, gradually reaching the level of paranoia.
Faoris did not interrupt the discussion between Sarlayan, Valeera and others. He continued to explain the situation in a business-like manner until the room became quiet again.
"Although the three major Tolvir clans have conflicts with each other, most of the military conflicts occur between Osis and Neferset."
Sarlayan glanced at the old god Faoris with a half-smile: "Ramuka always sits on the mountain and watches the fight between tigers? Will he help whoever is weak?"
"Uh~"
Faoris smiled bitterly and nodded: "Your Majesty's Wisdom... But that's what I say, in fact, most of the time we secretly support the Ossis clan."
Sarlayan was not surprised by this.
Osis was declining day by day, unable to compete head-on with Neferset, who was at the height of his power.
Without Ramukaheng's secret support, they would have perished in the flames of war long ago.
"Um……"
After listening to Faoris' explanation, Sarlayan rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a while.
"Time waits for no one. As usual, we will act separately."
"Aza...cough~Stella and Valeela, take this man with you to the Obelisk of the Stars to unlock the seal."
Sarlayan's eyes turned to Onyxia: "Onyxia and I will go to Ossis City first to visit the stubborn King Vadiya."
