The first king of the humans, Thoradin, was a mighty ruler and a mighty warrior. He carried with him a great sword forged by vrykul, empowered by elves, and bloodied on the fields of countless battles. Strom’kar, ender of wars, was lost with Thoradin. One strong enough to recover the sword would bring to bear a blade unlike any seen ages since.

A Desperate PleaReturn to the Broken ShoreOdyn and the ValarjarThe Sword of KingsTirisfal Glades

Stage 1 – Culling the Cultists
Twilight cultists are camped near the entrance. Investigate what they are doing here.

Stage 2 – The Ghost King
The ghost of Thoradin is being tortured by the cultists. Slay the ritualists and free him.
Thoradin: I will tell you…nothing! What lies beneath will be your end!

Stage 3 – Thoradin's Folly
The ghost has much information. Follow Thoradin and listen to his tale.
Thoradin: My…thanks. I know not who you are, but I can sense you are strong of heart. You are who I have been waiting for.
Long ago I made a terrible mistake, one about to become worse. I delayed its release with my life, but soon it will awaken.
Below in the tomb lies a horrifying monster that I awoke in my thirst for the truth. My sword, Stromkar, is buried with it, keeping it from regenerating fully.
I must ask you to go in there, brave the dangers, and finish what I started long ago. I will be with you.

Stage 4 – The Tomb of Tyr
The broken seal beckons from the lake bottom. Enter the Tomb of Tyr.
When I saw this antechamber I knew we had found something…momentous. Here was a door so oddly familiar, like a long forgotten memory. Here we broke the first seal.

Stage 5 – Cleansing the Desecration
The prison entrance is blocked with corruption. Cleanse the tomb of the corrupting void tendrils.
One of its minions has returned as I feared. Something is here corrupting the wards of the tomb and blocking the path. You must destroy the tendrils and force it to appear.

Stage 6 – The Root of the Corruption
The corrupter has finally appeared. Slay Soth'ozz and complete the cleansing of the tomb.

Stage 7 – The Dark Passage
The way below is uncovered, make your way to the prison of Zakajz.

Stage 8 – A Quick Execution
Zakajz is struggling to defend itself. Draw out the sword and perform the final blow!
Thoradin: There lies my final battle. Already Zakajz struggles for consciousness, it knows we are here. You must hurry!
No we are too late! Zakajz has awoken!
Wait….it is slow, confused. The sword hurts it still. Quickly, strike it down before it can recover completely!

Stage 9 – To Kill a C'Thraxxi
Zakajz is awake but neither fully healed or fully in control of its mind. Fight it back into unconsciousness!
During this Stage, you go to loot the weapon, but instead of looting it quietly, you must fight Zakajz first. Subduing the monster, you go to pick up the weapon finally.

Final Stage – The Warbreaker
Zakajz has been defeated again, but it is not permanent. Take up Stromkar and deal the final true blow.
Thoradin: At last the nightmare is over. I can finally leave this place once and for all.
Keep the sword, between its unique forging and the elven magics it is quite strong. It deserves to be used. I know not if being buried in that beast over the centuries will have any effect, but you seem strong enough to handle it.

A mighty blade, forged by the son of vrykul, enchanted by elven sorcery, and quenched in the blood of a C’thraxxi. It will serve you well. With it, you will undo your enemies.

Comment by ShoadowolfThat piano music is awesome. :DComment by ArrayaIs that a battlecry I heard when you used charge? : 3 The arms animations are looking good! I might play my night elf sentinel now.Comment by kingzenI hope this is a sign that the Vrykul becomes a playable race soon. And can we get a Savager class?

Love the site and these daily news. :')Comment by FlarepulseMay I ask what track Bernie is improvising from? While it has a very familiar Warcraft feeling, I can't put my finger on it.Comment by MonsoontI rather recommend Tier 2+ Wrath's Blade green tint. No Dreadnaught...Comment by pyrannor2012Squee! That is all!Comment by NefadarI hope this is a sign that the Vrykul becomes a playable race soon. And can we get a Savager class?Comment by EighjanArms Warrior love -- YES.Comment by wooway777En taro Pepe!Comment by flig999Oh man... I want a judgement Pepe in the paladin class hall now. We could call him Pepe, Light of Dawn =DComment by KiheaIde like to know why warriors are not getting a weapon that's a known. Like Gorehowl should be for arms and Wrynns sword should be for fury. These warriors weapons though are kinda pretty, do not compare to doom hammer, ashbringer or so many others.Comment by guardiantitanOkay, so balance druids, unholy DKs, and affliction warlocks get the identical artifact quests in Karazhan and now we find shadow priests, arms warriors, and even holy paladins also share the same quests in Tirisfal? Guess it was too much to expect every spec would get a unique story line and artifact quest chain. So who else will share their quests? It'll piss off quite a few people if they find one spec gets an entirely unique artifact experience and another gets to share theirs with another spec. Seems like Blizzard bit off more than they could chew with the artifacts if they have to have specs with the same quest chains at this point.

Ugh. Guess we can hope this is just an alpha thing and the quests will be made unique to each spec at least even if they share the same areas.

I'm still disappointed warriors aren't getting Varian's sword. To me that just suggests Varian's not as dead as they're trying to make us believe. There's no reason for us to not get his sword or even his armor if he was dead. Guess the only excuse Blizzard would have there is not wanting the horde to have it, but Doomhammer and Ashbringer say hello so horde not getting Varian's sword has no excuse.Comment by GordonBuchatSo glad to see that our dear beloved overlord is coming to Legion with us. All hail Pepe!Comment by jjanchanI didn't recognize that as Warcraft music...perhaps Alliance music? I rarely hear that as I'm Horde.Comment by selkie47I hope there will be a Pepe in each Hall! I want my druid Pepe (he should wear the Stormrage Cover)!Comment by LumberJacLol, the piano video. The donators comment at 4:03!Comment by SlegarothAnd can we get a Savager class?Comment by TheLogarithmForget Pepe, all I want is Dog in Legion.Comment by Random0223..... I love you Pepe......Comment by kharthSounds like Karazhan to me, I only listened to a few secs around 4:03 to see the comment
