It has been more than 800 years since Aegwynn took over the role of Guardian from her mentor, Magna Scavill.
As he was often ostracized and discriminated against by other students during his studies, Aegwin gradually developed his extreme personality.
Revthera made a more objective evaluation of Aegwynn in his notes.
He affirmed Aegwynn's talent and strength, but at the same time he also raised questions and concerns about her radical and extreme character.
I have to say, ginger is still spicy.
Revthera's analysis of Aegwynn's character and his prediction of the future direction of the Council of Tirisfal were very accurate.
Over time, most of these predictions have come true.
After sighing with emotion at Revsela's foresight, Sarlayan regained his composure and focused on one of the records.
"The origin of Arathor? Are you talking about the Arathi Highlands?"
Early humans adopted the same tribal system as today's orcs. The Arathi clan was initially just an inconspicuous medium-sized clan among many human clans.
But it was from such an ordinary clan that a genius was born who left a strong mark on human history.
His name was Thoradin, and he originally had no surname.
In just 6 years, Thoradin used his strategy and force to lead the Arathi clan to defeat all enemies who opposed him, and united all the human clans who were willing to follow him.
With Thoradin as the banner, mankind established for the first time a unified empire like the trolls, which was named the Arathor Empire by Emperor Thoradin himself.
If Sarlayan remembers correctly, the Arathi clan first started in the Arathi Highlands, and their capital is called Rapids.
That's right, it was the predecessor of today's Stromgarde.
In his later years, Thoradin went out to search for the origin of mankind and never returned.
Now Emperor Thoradin's sword, Stromkar, which represents the unity of human clans, is in Sharlayan's hands.
Early humans regarded the weapons left behind by their ancestors as symbols of their tribes. They believed that the souls of their ancestors resided in their weapons and would forever watch over their descendants.
If a clan is willing to donate its ancestral weapons to the conqueror, it means that they surrender wholeheartedly to the other party.
After unifying the major human clans, Thoradin convinced the human clans, large and small, to donate their most important weapons.
The best blacksmiths of the Arathi clan took parts from each weapon and integrated them into Stormkar, the sword of Emperor Thoradin, to symbolize the unity and unity of the major clans of mankind.
Stromkar was given a new meaning, and Thoradin the Great renamed the reforged sword Stromkar War Destroyer in the hope of permanently eradicating wars among human races.
The various human clans finally united together, and under the wise leadership of Emperor Thoradin, ushered in the heyday of the Arathor Empire.
After allying with the high elves and winning the troll war, Emperor Thoradin personally went to the Eversong Forest and signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement against the forest trolls with the Sun King Anasteria, and also reached a series of trade cooperation.
In order to express its gratitude to the Arathor Empire for its help, Anasteria gave Thoradin a precious gift before he left.
The best smiths and enchanters of the high elves worked together to imbue Stromkar Warkiller with powerful arcane powers.
The newly born Stromka was upgraded to an artifact and accompanied Emperor Thoradin to continue to conquer the remaining forest troll forces.
In a way, this sword also represents the friendship between the Arathi Empire and Quel'Thalas.
"Rapid City..."
Sarlayan raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the huge map hanging on the wall of his office, his eyes fixed on Stromgarde in the Arathi Highlands.
Due to the mysterious disappearance of Emperor Thoradin, the Arathor Empire was trapped in a succession struggle for a long time.
Several powerful princes are fighting each other endlessly, and major factions in the country have taken sides, laying hidden dangers for the future division of the empire.
Many years later, the Arathor Empire was finally overwhelmed and split into seven human kingdoms.
The former capital of the empire, Strom, was in decline. Under the instigation of their ministers, the royal family of Arathor abandoned the capital and headed south, eventually establishing a brand new kingdom in Elwynn Forest, which later became the Kingdom of Stormwind.
In the long political struggle, the royal family of Arathor was ousted from the throne by ambitious nobles, and the rule of the Kingdom of Stormwind fell into the hands of the Wrynn family.
With the death of Anduin Lothar, the last descendant of the Arathor royal family, the former Arathor Empire finally perished completely, with no possibility of revival.
The Trollbane family, captain of the Arathor royal family's guards, did not evacuate with the ministers. They still stubbornly stayed in the dilapidated Rapids City.
After several years of renovations, House Trollbane rebuilt the central area of Strom and renamed it Stromgarde.
According to analysis of the notes left by Revthera, Stromgarde today is less than a quarter of the size of Stromgarde at its peak.
Sarlayan took out Stromka War Destroyer from the space package and carefully looked at this artifact sword that contained the power of shadow inside.
"Why do I suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of fate? I just got Thoradin's sword and am about to go to the place of origin of Arathor. Is this really just a coincidence?"
【Otherwise? It can't be Thoradin's soul guiding you. 】
[Impossible, Thoradin's soul cannot escape Zakaz's poisonous hands. His soul must have been devoured long ago under the eroding time. 】
[It’s no coincidence that after you find some time, you can take this extraordinary sword to the Arathi Highlands. Maybe you can get the full assistance of the Kingdom of Stromgard. 】
The most suitable users of Stromka are definitely descendants of Emperor Thoradin.
Unfortunately, with Lothar's death, Thoradin's lineage was completely cut off.
Taking the next best option, Sarlayan believed that the people most qualified to use Stromka were the Trollbane clan who had always been loyal to Thoradin.
Due to Garin's series of tricks, there are only two Trollbane left alive.
One is the "original" king Garin who was fed by the high elves with good food and drink, and the other is Danas who led the expeditionary force to fight against the Burning Legion in Draenor.
That idiot Jialin is definitely not qualified. Sarlayan even doubts whether Jialin, who has been addicted to wine and sex all year round, can lift this heavy sword.
As for Danaus... let's wait until he returns from Draenor.
…
Sarlayan still has a mission and is temporarily unable to go to Stromgarde in person to find the so-called origin of Arathor.
Early the next morning, Sharlayan teleported to Silvermoon City again to meet Kael'thas, and asked about the return time of Liadrin and the Morning Frontier Legion.
Kael'thas turned his attention to Minister of Defense Relessa.
Lelessa lowered her head and looked at the schedule knowingly: "Considering the progress of the recruit training, Liadrin will lead some paladins to return to the homeland in half a month."
Sarlayan nodded, and after receiving Kael'thas's permission, he took out a huge war hammer from the space package.
"boom!"
The giant hammer hit the floor of the chamber with a heavy roar, and many cabinet ministers present were startled.
Propaganda Minister Von Delor looked up at the broad hammer face in amazement: "Who is such a big hammer for? I feel the pure power of holy light from this sledgehammer."
Ms. Elena Fontaine, the Minister of Medical Affairs, also nodded in agreement: "And it is a warm light that is biased toward protection and healing. Its owner must be a gentle person."
Sarlayan held on to the Silver Hand Warhammer and shrugged: "This weapon is called the Silver Hand Warhammer. It is a weapon once used by Tyr, the guardian of justice. It was forged by Kazgoros, the shaper of the Pantheon."
Kael'thas pondered for a moment and then asked: "Salayan, are you planning to give this artifact to Liadrin for use?"
The size of the artifact is not important, as long as the artifact can identify its owner, the size can be freely changed according to the owner's needs.
"Yes, only Liadrin in the country is qualified to use it."
Kael'thas nodded clearly: "I understand. I will temporarily send it to the royal treasury, and then transfer it to Liadrin when she returns."
"By the way, I almost forgot to say that."
Kael'thas suddenly patted the armrest of the throne: "Salay'an, my father suddenly sent someone to notify me this morning, saying that he had something to see you."
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Your Majesty Anasteria?"
