Although the Draenei have been working hard to adapt to the new environment of Azeroth in recent years and are focused on building their new home, this does not mean that they are ignorant of the changes in the world situation in Azeroth.
As the spiritual leader of the Draini, Prophet Velen does not need to stay in the tribe for a long time. Daily government and military affairs will be assigned to the bishops' council.
According to the former Sun King Anasteria, who has long since abdicated, this old-hearted prophet has already traveled throughout Azeroth and has a preliminary grasp of the current international situation.
The seemingly peaceful Azeroth actually hides many hidden dangers. Azeroth's immature Titan souls have always been coveted by many forces such as the Burning Legion, the Ancient Gods, and the Shadow Realm.
This is a beautiful world, but if you want to live stably in Azeroth, the Draenei also need to contribute their own strength.
Since the Draenei came to Azeroth, they have been busy building a new home. Apart from cooperating with the high elves to research magic technology, they have not made any visible contributions to Azeroth. This is not conducive to the Draenei. People are truly integrated into the civilization of Azeroth.
Velen extended an invitation to Sharlayan several years ago, mostly to thank him for all he had done for the draenei.
It's a pity that Sarlayan has been busy running around and failed to take time to respond to Velen's invitation.
As Aegwynn said, Velen, who has lived for more than 50,000 years, doesn't care.
Even though Velen's face is already full of white beard, no one knows how long this old prophet who has already broken through the limits of mortals and become a demigod can live.
Generally speaking, as long as there is no accidental death, the natural lifespan of a demigod is unlimited.
What? Why is Velen a demigod when he appears?
If anyone can live for 50,000 years, as long as his qualifications are not so stupid that one cannot bear to look at them, he will be able to overcome the bottleneck that restricts mortals sooner or later, even if he slowly grinds his time with a water mill.
Not to mention that Velen is already extremely talented and has been blessed and favored by Naaru.
When they first arrived in Draenor, the Draenei elected five archbishops and formed a council of bishops under the guidance of spiritual leader Velen to lead the Draenei people to struggle to survive in that still barbaric world.
The five archbishops are Osar, who represents the scholar, Hataru, who represents the technician, Maladar, who represents the priest, Neli, who represents the ranger, and Akama, who represents the garrison.
During the long and turbulent period when the orcs were bewitched by the Burning Legion, Osar betrayed the Draenei and joined the Burning Legion, Hataru was assassinated by a traitor, and Akama was corrupted by evil energy at the end of the Battle of Shattrath. After becoming the Broken One, he disappeared.
Maladar was trapped in the Auchenai Tombs for a long time. It was not until the expeditionary force entered Draenor that Sharlayan freed him.
Ranger Archbishop Nellie was seriously injured and comatose in the final battle between Shattrath and the orcs. After being desperately rescued by his subordinates, it took several years before he was reawakened by Sharlayan and his party.
When retreating from Draenor, Maraad, who was expected to become the new leader of the Garrison, volunteered to stay in Draenor and join the Alliance expeditionary force to delay the Burning Legion's time.
Originally, the shaman leader Nobundo wanted to stay and help, but at the last moment, he was unexpectedly kicked into the Dark Portal by Maraad, and he could only laugh and cry to settle his fellow Broken in Azeroth. .
The Broken Ones are a special branch of the Draini race. These people were mutated after enduring a large amount of evil energy during the Battle of Shattrath.
Perhaps due to psychological factors, the Broken Ones could no longer get the response of the Holy Light. As a result, they once fell into despair. Many Broken Ones gave up on themselves and embarked on the road of self-destruction.
Fortunately, Nobundo, who was also transformed into a Broken One, gained the recognition of the elements of Draenor at this critical moment, bringing another way for the Broken Ones to survive.
At that time, Draenor's Elemental Throne had been destroyed by Gul'dan, and the King of Elements no longer existed. The elements just instinctively responded to the call of local creatures.
This precious response saved many broken people who were already in despair.
As the leader of all Broken Ones, Nobundo shoulders the important task of appeasing his people, so Vindicator Maraad kicked him into Azeroth.
After coming to Azeroth, after several years of development, the Draenei re-elected new members of the Council of Bishops.
Ranger Archbishop Nellie and Priest Archbishop Maradar still maintain their original official positions. The position of Vindicator Archbishop is left to Maradar, who is temporarily absent. The Scholar Archbishop in charge of political affairs is held by a rising star named Onala.
By the way, Onara is Velen's personal apprentice.
Originally, Velen wanted to hand over the title of Archbishop of Technicians to Hataru's chief apprentice, Romul, but Romul declined the prophet's offer on the grounds that neither he nor the remaining technicians were ready, and the position of Archbishop of Technicians was temporary. Hanging.
In the end, Velen established a new archbishop, Shaman Archbishop Nobundo, against all odds.
From a political perspective, Willen's approach is undoubtedly correct.
The shaman archbishop served by the Broken One can effectively bring the relationship between the Broken One and other Draini people closer, so that they will not be regarded as aliens outside the mainstream society, and solve a hidden problem in disguise. Social Issues.
Under the leadership of Ranger Archbishop Nellie, Sarlayan and his party entered New Shattrath, the Draini capital that had been built quite magnificently.
Thalayan had seen the old Draenei capital that had long since fallen into ruins in the Talador Forest of Draenor.
In terms of design layout, the new Shattrath still follows the circular urban distribution style of Shattrath City.
In the center of the city is the Holy Light Dome where the Bishops Council and Velen work. With the Holy Light Dome as the center, each city district spreads outward in a circle.
While following Nellie through the city from the Central Avenue, Sarlayan and others saw with their own eyes the Draini society that was gradually returning to normal life.
The mental outlook of the residents in the city is no longer as uneasy and hesitant as when they first escaped from Draenor. Their faces can be seen yearning for a better life outside.
Of course, this wonderful life cannot come out of thin air. It definitely requires someone to pay silently in places that ordinary people cannot see.
Sarlayan came to New Shattrath for an appointment this time not only to discuss the Cataclysm with Nobundo, but also to invite the Draenei to send troops to reinforce Watchfort.
The Draenei and the Burning Legion have been fighting guerrilla warfare for tens of thousands of years, and the two sides have long forged a hatred that will never be resolved.
As long as Kil'jaeden is alive, the Burning Legion will not give up its pursuit of the draenei.
Likewise, the long-lived Draini will not forget those relatives and friends who died tragically at the hands of the Legion.
Previously, due to Velen's too gentle and even weak attitude towards the orcs, the Draenei, who obviously had stronger technology and individual strength, suffered a big loss in Draenor.
After learning from the painful experience, Velen has been reflecting on his logical errors in Teledor afterwards, and he gradually realized a truth.
Facing barbarians like the orcs, whose bodies move faster than their brains, it is useless to reason with them blindly. When necessary, you must show stronger strength than them in order to gain the qualification to negotiate with the orcs on an equal footing.
Unfortunately, it was too late when Velen understood this concept. After the orcs drank large quantities of demon blood, the situation in Draenor was completely irreversible.
This world that has been under Aggramar's care is destined to die, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
After entering the Holy Light Dome, the number of Draini decreased significantly, but this is the core of New Shattrath. Everyone working in the dome has the important task of leading the tribe.
We haven't seen each other for several years, and Prophet Viren's appearance looks the same as before. He is still so old, but his spirit is as strong as ever.
"Thank you for your hard work, Archbishop Nellie."
Viren first smiled and nodded to Nellie: "Leave this to me, you can return to your post."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Prophet."
Nellie bowed to Velen in a formal manner, turned around and nodded kindly to Sharlayan, and then strode out of the Holy Light Dome.
"Hey~"
Looking at Nellie's leaving figure, Viren sighed softly.
"She still hasn't forgiven me for the disastrous consequences of my weak decision."
After all, Sarlayan thought there was nothing wrong with Nellie's attitude.
As one of the archbishops in charge of the Draini military, Nellie and Akama jointly shoulder the important task of leading the army to protect the tribe.
Soldiers usually have a tough external stance. Many years ago, Nellie had criticized Velen's overly tepid diplomatic strategy.
Later developments also proved that Viren was indeed wrong, and very wrong.
Although this does not shake Velen's achievements and status accumulated by leading his people to escape the pursuit of the Burning Legion for tens of thousands of years, Nellie still has a knot in her heart.
Over the years since she came to Azeroth, Nellie has always treated Velen in a business-like manner, and there will never be any private communication.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
Viren shook his head and put aside the problems within the group, and looked at the six people headed by Sarlayan with gentle eyes.
"Duke Shenying, you brought your confidante to the appointment this time. It should not just be to visit me, an old man, right?"
Sarlayan smiled silently and spread his hands. Valeera stepped forward and said to Velen: "Your Excellency the Prophet, we do have something important to discuss with the Draini. Here..."
Noticing Valeera's gaze to the left and right, Velen nodded in understanding.
"I'm sure there's a lot of talk here. Please come with me and we'll discuss it in detail in my office."
When the others were following Velen, who was walking slowly with his staff, Onyxia, who was yawning, suddenly noticed something strange.
"Um?"
Onyxia quietly rubbed the corners of her eyes with her fingers, half-squinted her eyes and looked at a corner of the Holy Light Dome with the corner of her eyes.
'Surveillance eyes? What does it mean? Why do the Draenei spy on foreign envoys hosted by Prophet Velen himself? '
'Could it be...'
Onyxia's eyes flashed with thought unnoticeably: 'It seems that there are hidden dangers hidden within New Shattrath, the Burning Legion... or maybe Kil'jaeden is really obsessed with Velen. '
