As a planet that was once under the influence of the Avenger Aggramar, Draenor once had a glorious history.
In ancient times, Grond, the titan creation created by Aggramar himself, fought against the spore colonies in Draenor, killing Zangar and Nayanu, and their corpses evolved into Zangar Sea and Tanaan Jungle respectively.
After killing the weakened Grond, the last spore colony, Potaan, died together with the djinn derived from Grond's corpse.
At this point, the barbaric period of Draenor gradually ended, and the spore community and the descendants of Grond formed the two major forces of the original beast and the destroyer respectively.
Until the Horde collectively swallowed and fell, the original beasts and the destroyers had been fighting each other all over Draenor, but at that time they were no longer the mainstream force in Draenor.
No matter how backward and barbaric the trolls are in the eyes of today's mainstream civilization in Azeroth, they have always been the first civilized race throughout the history of Azeroth.
In Draenor, there is also a race with a similar historical status to the trolls in Azeroth, and that is the arakkoa who are now anxious about how to continue their race and civilization.
The war between the original beasts and the destroyers lasted for a long time. In the collision between the two, the primitive Draenor gradually evolved into a variety of strange creatures, including some powerful creatures born with high intelligence.
The birth of the arakkoa civilization originated from the three wild demigods of Draenor, Rukhmar the firebird, Setai the wind serpent, and Anzu the raven.
Yes, these three powerful animal spirits are truly wild demigods.
However, since Draenor does not have a world soul... also known as the Titan Soul, the local wilderness demigods cannot bind their souls to the planet, and they do not have the ability to resurrect after death.
Setai, the wind serpent, was very jealous of Rukhma, the firebird with beautiful wings. It secretly found Anzu, the raven, and tried to cooperate with Anzu to defeat Rukhma and seize her power.
However, Setai miscalculated. Raven Ansu has always been in love with Rukhma, but because of his low self-esteem, he has never been able to muster the courage to confess to her.
After learning about Setai's insidious plan, Anzu ostensibly agreed to its plan, then turned around and told Rukhma about the matter without reservation.
After some discussion, the two demi-gods decided to use every trick to eliminate Setai, who was full of bad ideas.
They succeeded, but they also failed.
The power of the curse filled with resentment before Setai's death spread rapidly in the Arak Peak at that time.
In order to prevent these cursed powers from infecting his and Rukhma's hometown, Ansu swallowed Setai's remains in one bite and controlled the cursed powers within his own body.
The dark power of the wind snake demigod distorted Ansu's body and soul. The raven demigod lost his wings and could no longer fly freely in the sky.
Ansu, who felt that his appearance was disgusting, could not face the beautiful Rukhma again. He ignored Rukhma's efforts to stay and quietly disappeared into the wilderness.
Rukhma was deeply moved by Anzu's noble spirit of self-sacrifice. After searching for a long time but to no avail, the Firebird Demigod decided to create a new race to pass down Anzu's great dedication from generation to generation.
Thus, the Arakkoa were born.
The arakkoa combine Rukhma's elegance and solemnity with Anzu's wisdom and agility. In Rukhma's view, this newly born species is her and Anzu's child.
In order to create the arakkoa, Rukhmar consumed a lot of life essence. She could clearly feel that she was getting older and would one day bid farewell to this world.
Rukhmar was determined to guide the ignorant arakkoa onto the right path before his lifespan expired. He used the deeds of the three demigods as a reference to shape the initial prototype of the arakkoa civilization. He hoped that they could inherit his and Anzu's will. .
The early arakkoa were industrious and intelligent. They grew stronger from generation to generation under Rukhmar's guidance. With the light spells taught to them by Rukhmar, the arakkoa created Draenor's first splendid mortal civilization - Apexi. Sri Lanka Empire.
At its peak, the Apexis Empire even created an artifact that the barrage nicknamed "Genesis" - the Breath of Rukhma.
With this powerful artifact, the Apexis Empire defeated the original beast forces that had just recovered a little strength, and defeated them again. There is no hope of the Evermore Jungle rising.
After Rukhmar died due to exhaustion of his life force, the Apexis Empire, which was once prosperous, gradually turned from prosperity to decline, and they began endless internal fighting.
The arakkoa exiles who have now moved to Auchindoun are the losers in the internal political struggle of the Apexis Empire.
They were expelled from the Sky Peak and thrown into the Sethekk Valley filled with cursed power.
Just like the raven demigod Anzu, these arakkoa exiles infected by the power of the curse have also lost their original wings and can no longer fly in the sky.
However, these arakkoa exiles did not give up the opportunity to counterattack the Sky Peak. Under the leadership of Talon King Terokk, the arakkoa exiles established a new regime-Sktis.
According to the information provided by Archbishop Maladar, the original manager of Auchindoun, the Skettis arakkoa found Anzu, the raven demigod, who had been missing before, in a corner of Auchindoun, and tried to use his power to regain the missing raven demigod. Tongtian Peak occupied by high-level arakkoa people.
Because Onyxia was distracted and wandered in the wrong direction, Sharlayan and the others had no choice but to make a large circle from the eastern part of Talador Forest, following the border between Shadowmoon Valley and Talador towards Shattrath City. direction to move on.
When he saw the ruins of Auchindoun from a distance, Sharlayan suddenly remembered a deal that Maladar had mentioned before evacuating Draenor, and by the way, he learned about the affairs of Draenor related to the arakkoa to Stellagosa and others. History.
After listening to the story, Little Xingxing asked in surprise: "So, the raven demigod Anzu is still alive? He is currently hiding in the Sethekk Hall in the corner of Auchindoun?"
Sarlayan nodded: "Probably so, but due to the long-term curse torture, Ansu's strength has long been reduced to what it used to be."
"In terms of combat power, he is definitely not as good as the wild demigods of Azeroth."
In the previous battle against the Dark Portal, the Skettis arakkoa also played a role.
In exchange, Danath Trollbane, the leader of the coalition forces at the time, promised them that after the war of the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth was over, he would act as an intermediary to negotiate with the high-level arakkoa in the Sky Summit to win the opportunity. Let the Skettis arakkoa return home.
But... with the gradual collapse of the Arak Peaks, the arakkoa exiles are considering whether to give up this plan.
Judging from the current situation, the Arak Peaks, including Tongtian Peak, will disappear from Draenor's territory sooner or later. There is no need to waste manpower and material resources negotiating with high-level arakkoa at this juncture.
On the contrary, the arakkoa exiles want to raise prices on the ground. When the high-level arakkoa have to abandon their increasingly collapsing homeland and go north, they will stand up and use their advantageous position to recruit their compatriots who have left their homes, making Skettis the orthodox continuation of the arakkoa civilization. By.
Jaina shook her head irritably: "These dirty political plans again... So? What do Shattrath think about the plans of the Skettis arakkoa?"
Sarlayan shrugged and complained: "What can you think? This is the condition that Danaus has negotiated with the Skettis Crow People in advance, and the contract written in black and white must still be abided by."
"But..." Sarlayan looked at the ruins of Auchindoun where various forces were mixed below, and touched his chin thoughtfully: "I don't think the plot of the arakkoa exiles will succeed so easily."
"It is true that as the Arak Peaks gradually sink into the sea, the influence of Tongtian Peak is rapidly declining, but a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse."
"If those arrogant birdmen are forced into a hurry... they may have one last trump card."
Valeera raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean, Rukhma's Breath?"
"Yes." Sarlayan nodded solemnly: "Not only that, the arakkoa people of the Anhal sect...that is, the high-level arakkoa people who now control the decision-making power of Tongtian Peak also made a blasphemous act."
"They used a secret method to resurrect the remains of the Firebird Demigod Rukhma. If nothing else happens, the Firebird is still wandering unconsciously above the Arak Peaks."
"Rukhma?!"
Tinagosa's eyes widened in surprise: "How can Rukhma be resurrected without the Titan Soul?"
Sarlayan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me."
"Rukhma, who was resurrected by the Anhal sect, is just an empty shell. Her soul has long gone to the Shadow Realm. She should be existing in the form of soul seed in a corner of Ardenweald at this moment. "
Onyxia's heart moved, and through Sarlayan's profound words, she heard some hidden meanings.
"You don't want to use this empty shell to resurrect Rukhma, right?"
"If it really succeeds..." Onyxia quickly went through the causes and consequences in her mind: "Ha~ maybe the high-level arakkoa and the Skettis arakkoa will worship you."
