Chapter 145: Egwen
Seeing this, Lin Yue already roughly knew the location of the dwarf clan, and after understanding the history of the dwarf clan, he also roughly had some ways to deal with them. Lin Yue and Sindagosa returned to Brill to look at the fifteen slaves they had freed, and told them that they would be taking them to the Totem Awakening ceremony in three days' time, a news that made several of the younger slaves almost cheer. And the eyes of several older ones also showed a look of longing, after all, who doesn't want to have power.
Temporarily solving the troublesome problem, Lin Yue continued to read the general history of the mainland in his hand. He is now fascinated by these legendary stories, and he can't wait to keep looking back and satisfy his curiosity.
Riptide continues to play the role of the center of Arathas but, like Dalaran, many new city-states have gradually established themselves on the continent of Lordaeron. Gilneth, Alterac, and Kurtilas were the first city-states to be founded, and although each of these city-states had their own customs and trade activities, they all obeyed Riptide.
Under the watchful eye of the Tirius Puja, Dalaran became the land's primary center of magical learning. The council of Magoklas, who ruled Dalaran, founded Kenrito, a sect dedicated to documenting and studying every magic and every magical object they found.
Gilneth and Alterac became strong supporters of Riptide and developed a powerful army, and their expedition made it all the way to the mountainous lands south of Kazmodan. In the meantime. For the first time, humans encountered the ancient race of dwarves, who traveled to the dwarven underground cave city, Ironforge. Humans and dwarves share a lot of knowledge about metal forging and engineering. and discover that they share a love of combat and storytelling.
The city-state of Kurtilas was founded on a huge island south of Lordaeron, and they developed a thriving trade based on fishing and ocean shipping. Over time, Kurtilas built up a formidable merchant fleet that traveled through all known lands in search of treasures to trade and sell. But while the kingdom of Araso grew more prosperous, its most powerful core began to fall apart.
At this time. The lords of Riptide began to gradually move their possessions to the bustling northern region of Lordaeron, leaving the barren South behind. Heir to King Soladin. The last of the heirs of Arathi's bloodline, arguing that they should not abandon Riptide City, has drawn the resentment of the high-ranking citizens who are also desperate to leave. The lords of Riptide City decided to abandon their ancient city and look to the uncivilized north in search of purity and enlightenment. Far north of Dalaran. The lords of Riptide City have established a new city-state called Lordaeron, from which the entire continent is named. Lordaeron became a place of retreat for pilgrims and all those seeking inner peace.
Abandoned in the crumbling walls of the ancient Riptide City, the descendants of Arathi decided to head south into the rocky mountains of Kazmodan. Many long years passed, and they finally ended their journey and settled in a place called Azeroth in the north of the continent. They established the Kingdom of Stormwind in a fertile valley, which soon became a place of its own self-sufficiency.
There are still a few warriors who remain in Riptide City, and they have decided to continue to live there and guard the city of their ancient city. Riptide is no longer the center of the Empire. But it gradually developed into a new city-state, Fort Riptide. Although each city-state prospered under its own rule, the Arathas Empire was completely torn apart. As each country developed its own customs and beliefs. The differences between each city-state are getting greater. King Soladin's dream of unifying humanity eventually faded with the wind. ...
While the political and military battles between the seven human kingdoms are raging one after another, the Guardians are still fulfilling their duty to fight the chaos. Over the years, there have been many Guardians, but only one at any one time could possess the magical powers of the Tyrius Puja. As one of the last guardians of this age, she is a formidable warrior against evil and darkness. Egwene, the passionate human girl, has earned the approval of the Tyrius Puja. and was awarded the Guardian's mantle. Egwene worked energetically, hunting and eradicating every demon she found. But she has always been skeptical of the power of the Tyriss Puja, which is monopolized by men. She believed that the Parliament, held by the ancient elves and elders, was too old and narrow in its thinking to give far-sighted and decisive orders to fight the chaos. She was extremely impatient with her long and boring conversations and debates, and she was eager to prove her worth to her superiors and peers, so she often did heroic but unwise things at many critical moments.
As the power of Tirisfa at her disposal grew, Egwene began to notice some powerful demons lurking in the snow-covered continent of Northrend. She traveled all the way north into the mountains to track down the demons. There, she discovers that demons are hunting a surviving dragon clan in an attempt to suck the innate magic of these ancient creatures. These demons who deliberately avoided the ever-changing human society and the demons of the Abyss Legion were inseparable. Egwene eliminated the demons with the help of the dragons, and when the last demon disappeared from this world, a great storm appeared in the north. A large dark figure appeared in the sky above Northrend, and the leader of the Abyss Legion, the Demon King Malganis, appeared before Egwen's eyes, exuding hellish energy all around him. He warns the young Guardian that the time of the Tirius Festival is coming to an end and that the world will be conquered by the Abyssal Legions.
Believing that she was capable of fighting this god-like demon, the proud Egwene unleashed all her strength to attack Marganis' body. Much to her surprise, Egwene easily defeated the Demon King and succeeded in destroying Malganis' body. Fearing that Marganis' soul would still linger, the naïve Egwene sealed the remains of his body in an ancient hall that sank to the bottom of the ocean when the Well of Eternity exploded. Egwene didn't realize that what she was doing was exactly what Malganis expected. She had inadvertently sealed the fate of the world of Azeroth, as Marganis's soul had infiltrated Egwen's fragile body at the moment of his physical death. Unbeknownst to the young Guardian, Malganis will lurk in the dark side of her soul for a long time. (To be continued)
