Truth be told, studying the witchcraft of trolls was not easy, but it wasn't too difficult, at a time when the trolls' actions had not yet fully retreated into the dense primeval jungle, and the covenant between humans and the High Elves was still in the honeymoon phase, and from these allies who had been at war with the trolls for thousands of years, humans had also obtained a lot of information about witchcraft.

Eventually, a new type of potions companion discipline emerged in the realm of human mages, combining herbology and witchcraft, and it was named alchemy, and the special potion made from the blood of trolls in Anduin Lothar's possession was the product of early alchemy.
However, in Anduin Lothar's account, the birth of alchemy caused a great conflict between the emerging mage class and the ruling class of the Arathso Empire.
Most of the various potions and potions made by mages through alchemy possess magical powers, which, unlike arcane, can be easily mastered by mortals.
The rulers of the Arathas Empire saw this power as a threat to the monarch's rule, but the mages insisted that they had the freedom to study.
Eventually, the conflict between the two sides erupted after the death of Emperor Soladin the Great, and a large number of mages and scholars associated with them were arrested by order of the royal family of the Arathso Empire, and the mages used their power and influence to fight back.
Not to mention that during the arrest process, many mages successfully used their spells to escape, and even those who were arrested made those guards pay the price.
At the same time, many nobles who were connected to or even close to the mage class also carried out their own rescue efforts, and Anduin Lothar's ancestor was one of them.
Under the protests of a large number of nobles, the royal family was forced to release the arrested mages and scholars, and return the confiscated materials and experimental equipment, although destruction was inevitable.
After a few bloodsheds, the mages moved away from Rapids and established their own magical city-state of Dalaran on the shores of Lake Lordamere, independent of secular royal power, and Anduin Lothar's ancestor, who left Rapids and became the founding father of the kingdom of Azeroth, from prince of the Arathor Empire.
The "Renaissance of Magic" began with the victory of the combined forces of humans and the High Elves over the troll invaders and ended with the establishment of the magical city of Dalaran. Although the mages began to distance themselves from the world because of the lessons of the riots, there are still many mages who miss that free and open era.
"This bottle of potion is a product of that era. Trolls are bloodthirsty and furious, and even after being injured, they possess a recovery ability far beyond that of humans, and these powers come from their unique blood. By ingesting this potion, the blood of the trolls will bring out the full potential of humanity, and even the weakest young children can become the most outstanding warriors. Anduin Lothar ended his tirade.
"So...... Mr. Lothar, you, Marcus, and Wendthor have all taken this potion?" asked Varian, holding the dark green flask tightly.
Anduin Lothar nodded, and Varian suddenly understood something-although he didn't know if the effect of this potion was really comparable to the blessing of the Holy Light as Teacher Lothar said, but it was obvious that this potion was the power that Marcus had said before, which could make them compete with the paladin.
"So......" Varian exclaimed, suddenly excited, "why don't you equip all the soldiers of Stormwind with this potion......? Maybe Stormwind won't ...... either"
"That's impossible. Anduin Lothar's serious tone calmed Varian a little, "The recipe for this potion was lost at the end of the 'Renaissance of Magic', and the master who made it was one of the few mages who died in that rebellion. Although the remaining potions have been preserved by my ancestors in a unique way, they are not rich enough to equip the entire Stormwind army...... What's more, this kind of thing still has some side effects......"
"Side effects?" Varian looked at his teacher puzzled, but secretly decided in his heart that even if there were any side effects, he would take this potion himself - in the upcoming decisive battle, he would be the attendant of Teacher Lothar, guarding his side, if he was not strong enough, and instead asked Teacher Lothar to take care of himself, it would be bad!
"Hmm...... According to the tradition of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, only the core members can take this potion, and after taking the potion, they will naturally be invincible on the battlefield, but they are ...... As the killings increase, the furious elements of the troll's blood will gradually merge with our bodies, becoming irritable, irritable, murderous, and frenzied...... The traits of these trolls will also appear in humans. There was an inexplicable sadness in Anduin Lothar's voice.
"This ...... These side effects are not so ......," Varian said in a hesitant voice—in his imagination, he thought that the side effects Anduin Lothar was referring to were the kind that would cause great physical or mental trauma, or would die after a few uses...... According to this saying, manic and irritable...... For a fighter, it doesn't seem to be much of a side effect!
"Really?" Anduin Lothar said, shaking his head slightly, Varian, before the outbreak of war, after the outpost discovered the whereabouts of those orcs, your father had suggested that we first hold the line and contact the other human kingdoms and dwarven kingdoms before attacking the orcs together, but I rejected his proposal because of my desire to kill, and in the swamp of sorrow, the orcs were at the end of their rope, and I should have waited for the mages of Dalaran to disperse the fog and slaughter all the orcs, but after learning of Medivan's betrayal, I was so angry that I broke away from the army and went to Karazhan…… This caused the orcs to break through the defenses of the Cursed Lands and capture Stormwind......"
"Teacher Lothar...... It's not yours...... Fault ...... "Varian didn't know how to comfort his teacher, the marshal of Stormwind had been living in self-blame and remorse since the fall of Stormwind.
"Varian, I'm not telling you this, I'm not talking about whose fault it is...... Everything in the past cannot be recovered, but everything in the future can be chosen by ourselves. As the future king of Stormwind, you are destined to become the president of the Iron Horse Brotherhood after me, and the decision to take this potion should have been made at that time. But now, with the decisive battle looming, this choice must be advanced, Varian, let me ask you, are you willing to join the Iron Horse Brotherhood as the future king of Stormwind, take a potion containing the blood of trolls, and fight for the peace of Stormwind for the rest of your life?"
