If I never see a ravager again it will be entirely too
soon. They were everywhere and it took
me weeks to clear Thornfang Hill of them.
Then to top it off, a dwarf expedition has swung by and saw the work I
was doing and they asked if I could help them with their ravager problem around
their camp. That was another week’s
worth of work for me.
When I was done at Thornfang Hill, I went to check out Mag’har
Post to see about avenging Sedai’s death.
Once I was close enough to see the post, I thought that this course of
action might not be the correct response, however, I was set upon by these orcs
with no provocation on my part. That
pretty much set me off and whether I had actually intended to avenge Sedai or
not, the deed was done. The orcs had
bead upon their person which I took with me to give to Makuru to show him that
his request was honored. When Anchorite
Obadei found out what I had done he berated Makuru and myself for our actions
saying it was not what Sedai would have wanted.
The Anchorite sent me to speak with the elder, Amaan the Wise. He told me that what I had done was wrong but
he understood my reasoning. He spoke to
me of seeing beyond what my eyes tell me and he would help me with that. He knew that I had been tasked with
retrieving relics from the Ruins of Sha’naar and he needed to find a special
relic to help with what he wanted to show me.
The Ruins were overrun with demons and their enslaved Broken
Ones. While I was hunting down the
relics I needed to retrieve, I destroyed as many of those demons as I could and
setting the Broken Ones free. I directed
them to go to the Temple for refuge.
Amongst the relics I had gathered I saw one that looked a little
different from the others and the energies I felt radiating from it told me
that it was special. This one I would
take back to the elder.
The elder agreed with me about the relic. It held the power that he was seeking to show
me what the elder felt I needed to see.
He gave it me and told me to return to the spot where I had found Sedai’s
body and use it to see; not with my eyes but with my mind. I was dubious but did as he bad me. As I sat the relic down where the body had
been it began to emanate an energy. I
beheld some ghostly images. One of the
images was Sedai and he was flanked by two Mag’har orc warriors who told him
"Do not return, Draenei scum. Next time we won't spare your life, unarmed
or not!" As they left him, Sedai
said "I've failed... peace is impossible." I watched as the Mag’har orcs started up the
hill to return to the Post when they were attacked by two fel orcs, Laughing
Skull Ambushers. Sedai tries to help the
Mag’har orcs but one of the Mag'har orcs is killed along with the two
ambushers. I see Sedai kneel at the spot
where I found his body and I heard him say, "The cycle of bloodshed is unending.
Is there nothing I can do?" At that moment, another fel orc appears and
says, "You can die!" as he plunges a dagger in Sedai’s back killing
him. The fel orc laughs, turns away and
leaves. The vision fades and I am left
with an empty feeling in my heart. What
had actually happened wasn’t what I had thought. The Mag’har orcs did kill Sedai and I had
sought revenge on the wrong peoples. I
hung my head in remorse and returned to the Amaan the Wise who told me that
things are not always how they appear.
He hoped that I had learned a valuable lesson from this and that I would
temper my actions with thought.
After that lesson, I was ready for a change of scenery and
made my way to Zangarmarsh to help the Cenarian Expedition with their troubles. I have gathered parts of animals and plants,
I have scouted out the naga activity in the area and shut down their pumping
stations (we didn’t find out why they were pumping water from the lakes but the
Expedition have others on that task), and I have gathered samples from the Bog
Lords to help discover why they are moving from their stomping grounds to other
areas.
I will be making my way to Orebor Harborage in the next
couple of days as they are having trouble with Ogres and could use my
help. I was also asked to look for
Watcher Leesa’oh as she was doing some further study on the Bog Lord situation
and had asked if the Expedition could spare some help for her. These tasks should keep me out of trouble for
a bit.
