In fact, since Jaina entered the Kirin Tor Council as a member, Modera has had no chance to stand up. Her only hope of retaining power is to grovel and admit her mistake to Ronin.
However, Modera had not yet fully learned the qualities of a politician who could bend and adapt, and she could not let go of her dignity as a Kirin Tor elder and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Kalai and Ansrem both temporarily sided with Modera because their respective interests conflicted with the young and energetic Ronin.
In fact, these two old fritters knew very well that Luo Ning was the heir supported by Antonidas, a Dalaran native with good roots.
As long as he doesn't make any principled mistakes, it's basically impossible for others to push him down.
But there are some people who don’t believe in this evil.
Perhaps it was the experience of being relegated to the cold palace in the past few years that caused Modera's temperament to change. When Antonidas was still in power, she behaved very humbly on the surface, as if she admitted her mistakes and repented.
But after Antonidas retired and gave way and no longer had the supreme power of Dalaran, this guy immediately revealed his true colors and couldn't wait to rope in two plastic allies to try to limit Ronin's rights as the Speaker.
Ansrem and Kalai just wanted to force Ronin to make concessions in certain areas where interests were harmed, and they did not intend to follow Modera, a madman who got into trouble, all the way to the dark side.
The so-called politics is originally the art of compromise.
Luo Ning, who had just taken over, had not yet understood the rules, and he suddenly realized it after having a private exchange with Sarlayan.
One thing to say is that considering the status of Kalai and Ansrem as archmages and Kirin Tor councilors, the benefits they requested were not excessive.
Luo Ning, who finally realized what he was doing, accepted Sarlayan's suggestion to take a step back and explore the world. Shortly after Jaina entered the council, he took the initiative to send someone to contact the two archmages.
After some secret discussions that could not be brought to the table, the two sides quickly reached an agreement, and Modera's ending was completely nailed from this point on.
During the last period of Modera's hysteria and lingering breath, Ronin, who had learned a lesson once, did not act too hastily. He accepted all of Modera's chaotic and proactive attempts to find trouble, and kept a low profile for the time being. Do anything to fight back.
According to Jaina, Ronin's calm demeanor was admired by many Dalaran mages who had been paying attention to the internal strife in the Kirin Tor.
Modera? Who would stare at a lost dog that is doomed to lose its position all day long?
Since Modera will definitely be struck out, the candidate to replace her as the Archmage must naturally be discussed as soon as possible.
There are many archmages in Dalaran, but most of the people who do research are relatively withdrawn. There are only two people who are qualified, willing, and have the connections to participate in the Kirin Tor election at this stage.
One is that Hulihutu sided with Modra shortly after returning from Draenor. After seeing the situation clearly, she suddenly realized that she immediately accepted the invitation of Queen Calia and fled to Lordaeron to serve as a mage consultant. The Archmage Vargas.
According to the latest intelligence provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency of Quel'Thalas, Vargos is quite popular in Lordaeron, and his life is quite comfortable.
Although Kalai and Ansrem hope to invite him back to balance the number of young and moderate members in the council, Vargos does not seem to be planning to resign his job in Lordaeron and return to Dalaran in the short term.
Apart from Vargos, the person most qualified to stand for election is undoubtedly Khadgar, the apprentice of Medivh, the last guardian of the old Tirisfal Council, and the current Lord of Karazhan.
The new Council of Tirisfal now makes its home in the Temple of the Guardian in a corner of Dalaran.
As the top leaders of Dalaran, it is natural that the Kirin Tor Council would have an in-depth understanding of the New Council of Tirisfal.
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.
The leader of the new Council of Tirisfal is Merry Winterwind, the first lich in Azeroth's history and an elder member of the Council of Tirisfal.
This old lich alone is already heavyweight enough, and this is not all of the new Tirisfal Council.
After an in-depth investigation, Antonidas before abdicating the throne was surprised to find that Aegwynn and Medivh, mother and son of two generations of guardians, were still alive, and were quietly hiding in the guardian temple and exerting their remaining heat.
That may not be accurate.
Aegwynn, who is nearing the end of his life after losing the power of the Guardian, is indeed using his remaining energy, but Medivh, who is in his prime, obviously has no intention of retiring just yet.
During the decisive battle between the Azeroth coalition led by the night elves and the Burning Legion led by Archimonde at Mount Hyjal, Medivh hid behind the scenes and provided a lot of help to the coalition.
However, considering Medivh's already rotten reputation among the top leaders of various countries, it was not easy for him to use his name blatantly, so he could only act in the name of Crow Prophet as low-key as possible.
These two former guardians of Tirisfal and Merry Winterwind were Khadgar's backers and connections. This sufficient confidence made Ansrem and Kalai, who were interested in Vargos, dare not openly oppose Khadgar. Degas joins.
Now that Vargos has taken the initiative to give in without hesitation, there is no suspense about the replacement candidate for the Kirin Tor Council.
Modera had just been expelled from Dalaran by the unanimous vote of the parliament, and Ronin made an unabashed proposal to invite Khadgar to fill the vacancy after Modera left.
Things have come to this, what can we do?
Kalai and Ansrem could only agree to Ronin's proposal with a wry smile, and sent people to Karazhan in the far south of the continent to meet Khadgar, who was "cleaning" Karazhan in seclusion.
With the help of Sarlayan, Khadgar first cleaned up the lower levels of Karazhan, awakened the old butler Moros and the hunter Atumen, who had lost their minds after becoming undead, and used Medivh's only apprentice and the orthodox successor of Karazhan. Identity has received the full support of Moros and others.
Moros lived in Karazhan even before Medivh.
As early as when Aegwynn was building Karazhan, he accepted the invitation of Nielas Ellan, the former court mage of the Kingdom of Stormwind, to come to this Guardian Tower to serve as the general steward.
With the help of Moros' team of stewards who were familiar with the environment, Khadgar began to regain control of Karazhan layer by layer.
To this day, except for the most dangerous night demon, the eredar Malzahar entrenched at the top of the tower... no, Malzahar and the threat of Karazhan's reflection have not yet been eliminated, Khadgar has already destroyed Karazhan. Floors with more than 80% likes are firmly in your hands.
Khadgar did not immediately agree to the invitation after receiving Ronin's invitation. He first contacted Sarlayan's partner Jaina to convey the message on his behalf, and in turn invited Sarlayan to go to Karazhan to help solve the last remaining problems.
"Night Demon..."
Before that, Sarlayan had been in seclusion to develop and study war weapons. After returning from Silvermoon City, he received the message that Jaina had entrusted Valeera to pass on.
The Night Stalker was originally an adult blue dragon named Arcanagos, one of Aegwynn's friends.
In the civil war between two generations of guardians, Arcanagos was unfortunately defeated and died, and was made into a terrifying Nether Bone Dragon by Medivh...or Sargeras's twisted soul.
Since then, the Night Demon has been guarding the upper floors of Karazhan, blocking the connection between the upper and lower floors of the tower like a watchdog. Even Prince Maczhar from the Burning Legion did not dare to enter it at will. territory.
As a member of the dragon race, Sharlayan felt it was his duty to free Akannagoth's twisted soul.
The last time he went to Karazhan to assist Khadgar in "cleaning" his home, Sarlayan specifically mentioned to Khadgar that if one day he planned to deal with the threat of the Night Demon, he must inform himself in advance.
"Hey~" Sarlayan smiled bitterly and scratched his head: "It seems that the plan has to be changed temporarily again."
"Originally, I planned to go to Ulduar to solve the problem of the mobile phone and base station drawings. Suddenly, I received an invitation from Khadgar as promised, so I had no choice but to go to Karazhan to help him."
Khadgar made it clear to Ronin that he had to clean up his house before going to Dalaran to join the job.
Moreover, he will not be stationed in Dalaran like other councilors. He will stay in Karazhan most of the time to continue research.
Normally, Khadgar would only maintain remote contact with Dalaran. Only when encountering certain important events would he go to Dalaran in person to attend emergency meetings.
Khadgar's appointment is related to whether Ronin's authority as speaker can be as stable as a mountain.
In order to prevent Kalai and Ansrem from using the excuse of Khadgar's temporary inconvenience to nominate other candidates, Ronin also secretly entrusted Sarlayan to go to Karazhan as soon as possible to assist Khadgar in completing the cleanup of the Guardian Tower. Work.
