Shadowlands Posted 2020/04/14 at 1:29 PM by perculia

WARNING: SHADOWLANDS STORY SPOILERS AHEAD!

last week's lore interview

Sire Denathrius is responsible for the anima drought plaguing the Shadowlands and an ally of the Jailer.

Initially, you work with Sire Denathrius to secure the Halls of Atonement and defeat the Accuser, believing Denathrius to be on your side. However, the Accuser reveals Denathrius' true motives.

The player then joins the rebellion in Revendreth, where you learn Prince Renathal was captured and tossed into the Maw.

You go on a rescue mission to save Prince Renathal, and at his urging, to rescue the Curator imprisoned in Torghast.

After successfully completing the mission, you wage an attack on Sire Denathrius and his anima. Denathrius then sunders Revendreth and floods the Maw with anima, giving the Jailer even more power.

Torghast, Tower of the DamnedDatamined Encounter Journal

The Winter Queen has asked for you to deliver a message to Sire Denathrius, the Master of Revendreth. You will need his help for the coming conflict.
Upon arriving in Revendreth you were greeted by the Lord Chamberlain with a request for you to accompany him directly to Sire Denathrius.
While riding in a carriage you and the Lord Chamberlain were ambushed by rebel stoneborn led by a General Draven.
You proceeded to rescue the Lord Chamberlain from the clutches of devourers, monsters from beyond the Shadowlands who seek to consume all anima. Their presence is a sign of the end times, according to local dredgers. You also met an enigmatic venthyr duelist named Nadjia the Mistblade who was quite taken with your battle prowess and lively attitude.
After escaping the clutches of the Endmire, you and the Lord Chamberlain made your way to the hamlet of Darkhaven.
The anima drought has crippled the local venthyr of Darkhaven leaving them vulnerable to attack by rebels and devourers. They asked for you to convey their plight to the Master.
Sire Denathrius has dispatched you and the Lord Chamberlain to secure the Halls of Atonement from the defiant forces of the Accuser.
Empowered by a Harvester's Medallion, the Accuser is undefeatable by conventional means. The Lord Chamberlain has asked for you to seek out the sinstone of the Accuser so that he might use it to bypass her defenses.
Broken by the weight of her past, the Accuser falls to the combined force of you and the Lord Chamberlain. The Master has asked for you to bring her to the Forest Ward where she can be properly condemned.
By edict of Sire Denathrius, the Accuser stands condemned to a hunt by you and the Fearstalker. This ancient practice is used to torment souls who must confront their past sins through fear.
While hunting, you and your fellow hunters were ambushed by the Accuser. After slaying your escort, she gifted you the ability to move through shadows so that you might see the truth of the rebellion.
The Accuser revealed to you a secret passage that leads deep into the bowels of Castle Nathria where you discovered that Sire Denathrius has been the one behind the anima drought plaguing the Shadowlands.
On the run from Sire Denathrius, you were brought to the ruined hamlet of Dredhaven where you joined what remained of the rebellion.
The Fearstalker was defeated by your hand, her Medallion of Dread now in the hands of the Accuser. The rebels worry it will not be enough, and they have asked you to infiltrate the Ember Ward in search of the last person to see their former leader, Prince Renathal.
After forging your way into the Ember Ward, a deranged ash ghoul named Lost Sybille led you to the venthyr you were told to find: Theotar, the Mad Duke.
Theotar was captured along with Prince Renathal during a failed revolt prior to your arrival in Revendreth. The last Theotar saw of the Prince, he was being taken to the ruined tower of Sinfall. The two of you made your way across the Light scorched wasteland to secure this ancient tower.
While searching Sinfall you discovered a talking sword named Vorpalia who informed you that Prince Renathal was tossed into the Maw. You, being a Maw Walker, represent her only opportunity to save her beloved Prince.
Thanks to Vorpalia, you were able to find and rescue Prince Renathal from the clutches of the Jailer's minions. However, before you could leave, the Prince needed you to join him in another rescue mission to Torghast, Tower of the Damned.
Working your way through the labyrinth of cells and horrors within Torghast, you were able to find and rescue the Curator and her allies. Through the use of an ancient spell, the Curator was able to teleport all of you back to Sinfall, but with the caveat that once that spell was used it would never work again.
Upon returning to Sinfall, you were met by the combined forces of the Accuser, General Draven, and the many allies you have gathered in your travels through Revendreth. With this newfound force, Prince Renathal has proposed a daring plan: an assault on the anima stores of the Master.
After a pitched battle with the forces of Sire Denathrius, the Master wielded his power to sunder Revendreth itself and begin to pour his vast reserves of anima into the Maw, flooding power to the Jailer and threatening all of the Shadowlands and reality itself.

Comment by vultrazOkay, that's some epic stuff at the end. I also like that it somehow differs from rebel stories from previous expansions, where we were just thrown on the rebels' side from the beginning (Suramar, Spires of Arac, Dread Wastes...).Comment by Swampking1My void elf dk will go visit there.Comment by orca2017Wow cool storylines cannot wait this is going to be epic..I see you saved the best for last lolComment by lizymoonDenathrius sounds like a Dreadlord name.

No questing with Kael after all, hmm ? Helping him deal with an old ennemy and whatnot ... ?Comment by AlakeiThancanSoooo ... No questing with Kael after all, hmm ?

Did you really have to put the biggest plot twist spoiler as the very first bullet? 🤔Comment by Tayman013My bet is Kael will be part of the covenant campaign kinda like it looks like most of Uther will beComment by CorranisI have the suspicion Kael'thas will raise in rank very soon and end up as one of the most visible Venthyr NPC's

My question is since it appears Kyrian and Venthyr "become" that race after their trials/atonement if Kael would end looking like a Venthyr after a while.Comment by LelqtianMy bet is Kael will be part of the covenant campaign kinda like it looks like most of Uther will beComment by KorynWow.
