Due to the changes in history caused by Sharlayan, Orgrim did not escape the pursuit of the Lordaeron patrol until the second half of last year, and found the reclusive Frostwolf clan deep in the snowy mountains of Alterac.
The warchief, who had experienced the ups and downs of the first and second orc wars and was already exhausted physically and mentally, made a surprising discovery in the Frostwolf station.
The only son of Orgrim's long-dead friend Durotan miraculously survived and received orthodox shamanic education from the old shaman Drek'Thar.
Since Gul'dan brought evil power to the orc tribe, the elements of Draenor have gradually abandoned the orcs who have gone against the grain and destroyed the ecology of Draenor.
When the Dark Portal opened and the Horde invaded Azeroth, no one among the orc clans could get the response of the elements, and the shamans were almost completely extinct.
Including Orgrim, most of the orcs still haven't changed their minds after entering the new world.
Draenor has Draenor's Elemental Throne, which has nothing to do with Azeroth's elemental system.
The orcs have indeed offended the elements of Draenor, but does this have anything to do with the elements of Azeroth?
After Drek'Thar's persistent call received a response from the elements of Azeroth, the Frostwolf clan, which was the first to slow down, gradually recovered its ancient shamanic heritage.
Guyin'er, who returned to the Frostwolf clan, was determined to be recognized by his clan members. The best way was to become a shaman with a transcendent status in the orc tradition.
In traditional orc clans, the status of chiefs and shamans is equal, but their division of labor is different.
To explain it in a relatively easy-to-understand way in Azeroth, the chief controls the monarchy and the shaman controls the divine power.
After the deaths of Durotan and Draka, the blind old shaman Drektar, who had assisted the two generations of chiefs of Galad and Durotan, had no choice but to temporarily take over the position of chief of the Frostwolf clan.
In the process, Drek'Thar was surprised to find the inheritance of the shaman, and as a shaman he also served as the chief, truly combining kingship and divine power.
In order to successfully take over the position of chief from Drek'Thar's hands, Guyin'er naturally has to show abilities similar to Drek'Thar's...or even better.
Therefore, he must pass the test and become an orthodox shaman.
Guyin'er did have a talent in this area. Under Drektal's strict teachings, he successfully passed all the shaman's trials and obtained the response of the elements.
Under Drek'Thar's deliberate guidance and concession, Guyin naturally took over the position of chief as Durotan's son and shaman, and officially became the new chief of the Frostwolf clan.
Not long after Guyin'er took over as chief, Orgrim came to the door through the vast wind and snow.
From Guyin'er, who is full of youthful vitality and can freely control the power of the elements, Orgrim, who is getting older, sees hope of revitalizing the tribe.
Unlike the evil orcs of the old tribe who only burned, killed and looted, Orgrim hoped that the orcs could rediscover their past glory and traditions under the leadership of Gu Yin'er and say goodbye to the disgusting demon blood.
From then on, Orgrim, who had been traveling around to liberate his compatriots, stopped for the first time. He taught the young Guyin'er what he had seen, heard, and learned in his life without reservation.
Since Guyin'er had fighting experience as a gladiator when he was young, he was also familiar with Orgrim's fighting skills.
Not long ago, Orgrim planned to conduct the final tempering of Guyin'er through actual combat.
Under the personal leadership of Orgrim, Guyir followed the orc guerrillas to attack the asylum of Lordamere located in the south of Dalaran and east of Umbermere.
This is the last and largest remaining asylum in Hillbread.
Under Calia's sheep-herding policy, Lordaeron has invested less and less resources in various shelters, and the number of troops guarding the shelters has also been deteriorating.
A large number of Lordaeron soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding the asylum were transferred to other places, and those who had benefited from the rise of the asylum were very dissatisfied.
In order to preserve this last and largest shelter and prove to the kingdom's senior officials that the orc shelter is still worthy of maintenance, the vested interests gathered a large amount of resources to defend this place.
By chance, a hunter who was out hunting inadvertently discovered the orc guerrillas marching silently in the mountains. He immediately returned to the Lordamere shelter and told the news to the local defenders.
A well-prepared ambush caught Orgrim off guard. In order to protect Guyin'er and the exhausted compatriots in the shelter from escaping, he gave his own life to teach Guyin'er the last lesson.
For any action that seems to be 100% certain, as long as it has not yet reached the last moment when victory is certain, you must not let down your vigilance in advance.
Although he only studied with Orgrim for less than a year, Guyin learned a lot of knowledge and experience from this tribal chief that could not be obtained from Drek'Thar.
After burying Orgrim with his own hands with grief, Guyin'er, who inherited everything from him, finally determined his life goal.
He wants to inherit Orgrim's legacy and revitalize the tribe, find a foothold for his people, integrate into and protect this beautiful and fertile world, rather than continue to harm it.
Thanks to the human concept education he received in his early years and the guidance that Sarlayan deliberately gave back then, Guyin'er did not intend to seek benefits through war as crudely as the old tribe.
Assisted by Drek'Thar, Guyin'er, who had just taken over the position of warchief, gradually gathered the fellow orcs that Orgrim rescued from various shelters with the Frostwolf clan as the center.
In the process, he also met a grumpy old man - Warsong Chief Grom Hellscream.
The Warsong clan is one of the most militant clans in the entire orc tribe. They have always advocated using iron and blood to win what they want.
This is obviously contrary to Guyin'er's purpose of peaceful development of the tribe.
Witnessed by a large number of orcs, the young and energetic Gu Yin'er launched the most traditional orcs' Makgora duel against Grom.
If Grom was still at his peak, Guyin'er, who had not yet tempered his strength to the extreme, was no match for him.
But now Grim has been suffering from the side effects of the demon blood fading away. He only has 60% of his 100% strength at most, and he always feels powerless during battles.
In the end, the young and strong Guyin'er defeated the exhausted Grom with one move, consolidating his position in the ethnic group and gaining Grom's respect.
Grom, who was born in the Hellscream family, is not someone who cannot afford to lose. Although he is far from his peak state now, a loss is a loss and there is no excuse.
Since then, Grom has begun to restrain his temper and follow Guyin's strategy to avoid unnecessary armed conflicts with the Alliance as much as possible.
Thanks to Guyin'er's restraint, Lordaeron, who was empty of troops, did not have to worry about backstabbing from the rear when facing the full attack of the Scourge.
Failing to receive sufficient military support from the Alliance, Sarlayan quickly launched an alternative plan.
After receiving the signal, Ronin immediately teleported back to Dalaran and told the news to Medivh, who was still staying in the Temple of the Guardian.
"Is it finally this time?"
Many years ago, Medivh accidentally spied on Thrall in a certain timeline...or Guyin's fate while touring the star realm.
Under the influence of Sargeras, the orc invasion led by Medivh caused deep harm to Azeroth, and he has always wanted to atone for what he did.
Guiding Guyin to lead the reborn tribe to Kalimdor and contribute his own strength to protect Azeroth is the way of atonement that Medivh had planned long ago.
At the same time, this is also a process of atonement for the brutal invasion of the old tribe by the new tribe led by Guyin'er.
Only by making efforts and sacrifices in protecting Azeroth can the orcs, an extraterritorial race, be truly recognized by the native races of Azeroth.
Just like the Draini who sent troops to participate in the Battle of the Dark Portal not long ago.
After countless hardships, they finally built a new home in Azeroth. Today's Draenei are far from recovering.
Even so, in order to gain the recognition of Azeroth, the far-sighted Velen still sent out a small army resolutely.
Through this voluntary letter of nomination, the Draini gained initial recognition from all countries in the alliance.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will also participate in the upcoming battle against the Burning Legion on the continent of Kalimdor, and have another bloody battle with the demons, their old enemy for many years.
Medivh, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, immediately stood up with the Ebony Cold staff he had acquired not long ago, raised his hand and put on the dark hood trailing behind the robe.
"Tell Sharlayan for me and I will leave immediately."
"Medivh."
Aegwynn stopped his son who was about to set off with a worried look on his face: "Don't force yourself, you are no longer what you were then."
Medivh nodded slightly: "I know, mother, but this is the responsibility I should bear and the sin I should repay."
"If I can't get rid of this knot, my future will always be stuck at this moment."
Aegwynn smiled helplessly: "Your stubborn temper is nothing like your father's. It's exactly the same as mine."
"Okay, I know I can't convince you, but you must do what you can. I don't want a white-haired person to give a black-haired person another chance."
After saying goodbye to his mother, Medivh immediately transformed into a crow that could be seen everywhere, spread his wings and flew towards Hillsbrad Hills in the east of Dalaran.
At the same time, Sharlayan, Kael'thas and his party had returned to Silvermoon City and began making final preparations for sending reinforcements across the sea to Kalimdor.
While Sharlayan was busy taking care of the logistics work for the major legions before going to sea in Sunsail Port, Stella Gosa, who was temporarily staying at the Deep Shadow Family Mansion in Silvermoon City, sent good news.
Jaina, who has been in seclusion since returning to Silvermoon City, has new news. She finally found the key that opens the door to the legendary realm.
