Patch 5.3: Battlefield Barrens Guide and Noxy Comic

perculia
Patch 5.3 introduces a new world event,
Battlefield Barrens
, that explores the conflict between the Alliance, Horde, and Garrosh. There's a ton of stuff to do and collect as part of this event--but it's only around for a limited amount of time. It will be removed when Patch 5.4 hits.
Site artist
Noxychu
also made a comic about this event, capturing the spirit of helping the Darkspear in unexpected ways!
To unlock this world event, which takes place in Durotar and Northern Barrens, you'll need to do several new scenarios and a quest chain, Escalation. showing the underlying politics behind your faction.
Once the world event is unlocked, you can collect Kor'kron supplies through various ways to purchase vanity items and armor like
Flauto di Xan'tish
.
Garrosh's influence can be seen in the Valley of Spirits being shut down, a Horde digsite in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and Kor'kron camps in the Northern Barrens.
Click the cut to read the guide!
Patch 5.4 Changes
In Patch 5.4, the daily quests, quartermaster, and vast majority of vanity items and events are being removed.
The zone changes will still be in place, as well as Kor'kron mobs. You can kill them for
Guanti da Boxe di Pelle di Raptor
and
Pietra d'Evocazione di Gahz'rooki
, which are the only two vanity items remaining.

For completing the Escalation questline, described later on in this guide, Alliance players get

Latent Kor'kron Armor
Latent Kor'kron Armor can be bought from the quartermaster--it also has a very low chance to drop in the Northern Barrens. The armor pieces are BoE, but the
Mojo Radicale
needed to transform them into wearable armor is BoP. The armor sets resemble Dungeon 2 models, so you can save some time farming Darkmoon Prize Tickets. (DKs get a recolor of their classic set, while Monks get a popular quest set.)

Acquiring Items
Overturned Caravans
Map
Description
Click on the map to enlarge.
The Kor'kron caravans are constantly being ambushed: as a result, they're frequently found abandoned in the Northern Barrens with tons of supplies for you to loot!
A zone-wide notification ("A Kor'kron shipment of stone has been overturned!") lets players know a caravan has been overturned, and what type of material it contains.
The location is then marked on the zone map by a red building icon. Mousing over it describes what the caravan's contents are.
Once at the caravan, you'll find dozens of containers lying around--you can easily get up to 50 of a resource. But remember, since the Barrens is a PvP zone, those crates will be highly sought-after.
Each crate contains 1-2 of a certain resource.
The caravans despawn when the last crate is looted.
Kor'kron Camps
Map
Camps
Carne dei Kor'kron
: Acquired from killing
Macellaio Kor'kron
,
Perlustratore Kor'kron
, and
Worg da Battaglia Kor'kron
, and looting
Kor'kron Meat Crate

Fendente del Macellaio
and
Tiro Esplosivo
really hurt.
Pietra dei Kor'kron
: Acquired from killing
Worg delle Fiamme Kor'kron
,
Elementale della Terra Selvaggio
,
Scuotiterra Kor'kron

Crematore Kor'kron
,
Sovrintendente Kor'kron
,
Ingegnere Mercenario
, and

.
Legna dei Kor'kron
: Acquired from killing
Predone Kor'kron
,
Bracciante di Malogrido
, and
Segatronchi Mercenario
, and looting lumber piles, at the lumber camp to the west of the Mor'shan Rampart.
Kor'kron Elites
Players can group up and fight elite commanders, but they can be very nasty. When a commander spawns, they will do a zone-wide yell and appear on your map.
After a recent hotfix, the elites are a non-faction specific multi-tap for all characters that attack them. They used to be tap to faction. An
additional set of hotfixes
nerfed several Elite abilities as well.

and

Different races escort the caravans depending on where they are headed to. For example, Astranaar sentinels escort the caravan going to Ashenvale, Northwatch dwarves escort the caravan going to Ratchet.

Scorta della Carovana
you'll get, which stacks up to 10.
Upon successfully escorting a caravan, you will get

When a caravan begins its trip, or is destroyed by the Kor'kron, there will be a zone-wide notification. However, it will not appear on your minimap unless you are close by.

Zone Changes
Orgrimmar
,
Savane Settentrionali
, and
Durotar
have substantial changes to reflect the Kor'kron's presence.
Orgrimmar
Things have gotten pretty bad for the trolls--the new Kor'kron guards have terrified the trolls to the point where the Valley of Spirits has been shut down. Players cannot access the Auction House, Banks, class trainers, profession trainers, and all vendors. (Suddenly, those pet snakes from
Xan'tish
like
Re Serpente Nero
may be rare...)
In addition, the portal to Blasted Lands has been removed, and
Lealista di Vol'jin
s now run through the streets shouting "Vol'jin lives! Rise up against Garrosh Hellscream! Today is de new dawn of de Horde!" before being killed by Kor'kron Overseers.
Here's what the Valley of Spirits NPCs have to say to you:
Rogue Class Trainer: Ya need trainin'? You picked a real inconvenient time to come pokin' through the Valley of Spirits.
<Your trainer's voice lowers to a whisper>
The Kor'kron watches our every move. Garrosh has the Valley of Spirits under his thumb. I could be killed if they saw me talkin' to you.
Lucky for you, they don't ever see me. Lean in close, <name>. We gotta keep this on the down low.
Xan'tish
: My snakes, mon. They took my snakes!
Banditrice d'Asta Ziji
: No auctions today. No auctions for a while, by the look o'things.
Makavu
: Not now. The bank's been taken over for the time being.
The Kor'kron leader said that they won't be makin' any "unauthorized withdrawls", but...you might wanna check an' make sure.
Xon'cha
: <Xon'cha> looks nervously over his shoulder.> You'll have to go elsewhere if you want to get at your pets, rogue. The Kor'kron be watchin'.
Vecchio Umbehto
: There be no fishin' today. Kor'kron orders.
Zamja
: Trainin' services are on temporary hiatus. You wanna learn how to cook? You'll have to look somewhere else.
Zirazi la Scrutastelle
: The portals are shut down. I hear the orcs still have a portal to the Blasted Lands open, down in the Cleft o' Shadow.
Jo'mah
: Sorry, rogue. De ink's run dry 'round here.
Northern Barrens
The Kor'kron has a greatly increased presence in
Savane Settentrionali
. The Kor'kron has marred the Northern Barrens with several encampments: a slaughterhouse, lumber camp, oil refinery, and elemental quarry.
With the addition of level 90 mobs in an otherwise low-level zone, there are some new zone drops:
Carne di Iena Disidratata
: If you spend at least 10 seconds eating you will move more quickly while in the Northern Barrens for 1 hour.
Crocchette di Scorpione
: If you spend at least 10 seconds eating you will deal more damage while in the Northern Barrens for 1 hour.
K.D.A.
: If you spend at least 10 seconds eating you will take less damage while in the Northern Barrens for 1 hour.
Players have also reported looting
Sacca di Scorte dei Kor'kron
in the Northern Barrens from level 90 Kor'kron.
Mobs have a chance to drop Lesser Charms of Good Fortune.
Before
After
Lumber Camp
Oil Camp
Slaughterhouse
Stone Camp
Durotar
The Darkspear Trolls, led by Vol'jin, have also declared open rebellion against Garrosh's regime. Sen'jin Village has many more troll guards and Razor Hill, once Escalation quests are completed, is taken over by the Darkspear.
In addition, trolls are held captive in cages, surrounded by the Kor'kron, right outside Orgrimmar.
Vale of Eternal Blossoms
Garrosh has started digging in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, marring a sacred area.
Taran Zhu
is not amused and orders
Campione del Sole Dezco
to evacuate the Horde from Pandaria:
Taran Zhu
: Tauren! What have your people done! You have dredged open a scar within our sacred Vale!
Campione del Sole Dezco
: Lord Zhu, please understand - the orc "Warchief" who ordered the deed no longer speaks for the whole of the Horde. Many voices are rising up against him.
Taran Zhu
: Your politics are no concern of mine. Your Horde has disrespected the sanctity of this place. You are no longer welcome here - leave at once!
Campione del Sole Dezco
: Give us time, Lord Zhu. Give us the opportunity to bring Hellscream to justice.
Taran Zhu
: Sunwalker, I respect your people. You have aided us in our campaign against the Sha and the Thunder King. Otherwise, I would've already ordered the Shado-Pan to purge this entire shrine. But my patience is at an end. The Horde must leave.
Taran Zhu
stares grimly into the distance.
Taran Zhu
: Very Well, You have until season's end. No longer.
Taran Zhu
: We pandaren are no strangers to dealing with tyrants..The coming battle will try your souls. May the celestials guide your actions.
Scenarios
Players begin to unlock Battlefield Barrens by completing a questchain that sends them into two scenarios:
La guerra incombe
: Speak with Lorewalker Cho.
Il Re e il Concilio
: Complete the "Blood in the Snow" scenario. You can queue from the dungeon finder or use Lorewalker Cho's Dream Brew.
Il Capoguerra e l'Oscurità
: Complete the "Dark Heart of Pandaria" scenario. You can queue from the Dungeon Finder or use Lorewalker Cho's Dream Brew.
Blood in the Snow
The first scenario Lorewalker Cho makes you complete is
Blood in the Snow
, so he can observe what Varian Wyrnn is like as the leader of the Alliance. As we
covered earlier
, there is a brief dialogue leading up to the scenario that shows how the dwarven tribes were hesitant to lend Varian support.
The Dark Iron help Varian defeat the ice trolls in Shimmer Ridge, who are cannibalizing the dwarven scouts and obscuring their operations with a magical deadly storm. Moira's decision to help Varian, when the other dwarven clans would not, shames the Bronzebeards and Wildhammers into pledging more of their aid in the future.
If you are a Horde player, you will be transformed into a Human for this scenario.
Stage 1 – The Mountaineers
Contact the Dark Iron Mountaineers atop Shimmer Ridge and find a way to stop the storm.
Stage 2 – Save
Esploratore Barbapietra
Slay the trolls cooking
Esploratore Barbapietra
and free him.
Stage 3 – Save
Esploratrice Birrardita
Slay the trolls trying to cook
Esploratrice Birrardita
.
Stage 4 – Save
Esploratore Granforgia
Slay the trolls about to sacrifice
Esploratore Granforgia
.
Stage 5 – The Cold Cave
Slay the elemental spirit in the ice cave to end the snowstorm.
Stage 6 – Victory or Death
Join Moira's forces, slay the Zandalari leader, and captures the Frostmane village.
Final Stage – Bonus Objective
Complete the Bonus Objective to receive bonus Valor.
Start:
Varian: This is where my agents tracked the Zandalari.
Moira: Shimmer RIdge. I know it well. The Frostmane trolls breed and plot atop that snow-blown mesa.
Varian: I can only imagine what foul business the Zandalari have with them...
Moira: We've lost many mountaineers to this freakish storm, or the trolls slithering about in it.
Varian: Yes. This weather is not natural.
Moira: Aye. I am loathe to send my men into that. It reeks of ambush and bloody disaster.
Varian: My champions will go. THey will see what can be done, and rescue who they can.
Moira: If they can stop that storm, I'll lead the Forgeguard to the top myself.
Varian: It is heartening to see you here, Moira. You have my thanks.
Moira: Indeed. WIth the aid of your champions, the Dark Irons will put an end to the Zandalari threat in Dun Morogh.
Moira: We will prove our loyalty - to the Council, Ironforge, and the Alliance - here, today, and with our own blood.
Varian: Hrmmm. Fare well, Queen Regent.
Moira: I'll see you when it's done, King of Stormwind.
Esploratore Barbapietra
:
Oh…right. Now: Did the human king send ye? Oh, his spies are all dead… and most of us are, too.
I saw 'em draggin' Boldbrew, kicking' and bitten', towards some hut south o'here. Now if ye hurry, ye can help her, and she might know more.
BUT STAY AWAY FROM THE BIG VILLAGE! There's dozens o' mad ice trolls in there! Oh, that Zandalari priest has 'em whipped up into a great frenzy.
Esploratrice Birrardita
:
Ye ain't cookin' ME, ye long-eared snow-huffer!
Oh, that was a CLOSE one, thank ye!
There's only a few of us left: the ones they don't eat, they butcher at some big altar.
Esploratore Granforgia
:
Filthy mosters! I owe ye me life.
Listen: The storm. We figured out what's makin' it. That sneaky Zandalari has these ice trolls makin' blood sacrifices ta elemental spirits.
Conclusion
:
Varian: Well fought. I see the Dark Irons are as formidable as ever.
Moira: That they are, King Varian. And at the service of the Alliance, I might add.
Varian: Hah! For that, I'm glad. The Bronzebeards and Wildhammers will regret not having been here to share in your glory.
Moira: Better they're grateful for the clansmen spared death on this miserable hillock. We sought to protect and impress, not to shame.
Varian: Well, you've done just that. Come, let us return to Ironforge, and announce your victory to the Council.
Dark Heart of Pandaria
The second scenario to complete is
Dark Heart of Pandaria
, so Lorewalker Cho can see what Garrosh is like as the leader of the Horde. Once again, there is a brief dialogue leading up to this scenario, in which Lorewalker Cho contrasts the Alliance and Horde styles of leadership.
As WoW Insider covered in their
scenario writeup
, the Horde ends up in possession of the remains of an Old God, which can only lead to no good.
The Goblins have been told to excavate the Vale of Eternal Blossoms for Garrosh, but they've run into some trouble. When they finally blast their way through the Big Blossom Mine, they find themselves in a Titan room and must defeat the essence of an Old God. To make things worse, they must hand it over to the Kor'kron, who treat the Goblins in such a way as to lose even
their
loyalty.
If you are an Alliance player, you will be turned into a Goblin in this scenario.
Stage 1 – Talk to the Boss
Speak with
Grizzle Slittaruota
.
Stage 2 – Rock Grinding
Destroy the greater elemental ravaging the Big Blossom Excavation site.
Stage 3 – Economic Recovery
Collect artifacts for
Grizzle Slittaruota
while his workers clear the mine entrance.
Stage 4 – End of the Mine
Travel deep into the Big Blossom Mine and blast open the wall.
Stage 5 – Heartbreak
Destroy the Echo of Y'Sharrj.
Final Stage – Bonus Objectives
Complete the Bonus Objective to receive bonus Valor.
This dialogue takes place after the scenario has been completed--the goblins and the Kor'kron aren't getting along too well:
Grizzle: Just what in the name of all that is unholy was that thing?
Malkorok: Step aside goblin. This artifact is exactly what the Warchief hoped to find here. I am taking it under Kor'kron protection.
Grizzle: Oh don't you worry none, I don't think anyne wants to touch that thing again. I'll collect our money and we are outta here.
Grizzle: Hey hey, what is this, huh? This is barely a fifth of the promised payment!
Malkorok: You are paid for all workers present, foreman. The Warchief does not compensate the dead.
Grizzle: Naw naw, see there's a contract. Payment in full is-
Malkorok: THIS. This is what has diluted the vitality of our precious Horde!
Malkorok: The Warchief graciously permits the families of the dead to live in his city. To die in the service of the Horde should be a great honor, but you see it as another opportunity to line your filthy pockets!
Malkorok: Your kind DISGUSTS me. Small. Weak. Honorless as thieves. Be thankful the Warchief still tolerates your presence at all.
Grizzle: Yeah, we'll see who's got Garrosh's back when it counts.
Malkorok: What was that, goblin?
Grizzle Gearslip: Oh yeah, hey no nothing your, uh, your hugeness. Uh, for the Horde, and all that… Bye!
Quests: Escalation
After completing both scenarios, the Alliance and Horde will be sent to
Durotar
to continue questing. The Alliance and Horde share some quests in the middle of the quest series, but the Alliance has some unique scouting quests by Orgrimmar while the Horde gets to see the Battles of Razor Hill and Sen'jin Village.
Horde
The Darkspear Rebellion

La battaglia di Sen'jin
: Defend Sen'jin Village from the Kor'kron assault. Thrall and Chen are helping out, as well as all of the villagers. (Bom'bay hopes he gets promoted to being a full witch doctor after this.) When the battle is won, Thrall decides to go to Orgrimmar to win more allies and tells Vol'jin to care of his family if he does not make it.
La battaglia di Tranciacolle
: Vol'jin pressures towards Orgrimmar, and after escorting his army through Durotar, you help take over Razor Hill. The Kor'kron has locked up the entire city, even the orc trainers who beg you to free them and swear that Garrosh is not their true Warchief.
Afterwards, you'll go to the Razor Hill Outpost, where Baine is telling Vol'jin that he must seek aid outside of the Horde if he hopes to defeat Garrosh.
Vol'jin and Thrall on Thrall's decision to go to Orgrimmar alone:
Thrall: Wait Vol'jin. Horde is spilling Horde blood. It is tearing me apart.
Vol'jin: We need ya, mon.
Thrall: I know. I trust you to lead the siege. I am needed elsewhere.
Thrall: I refuse to believe that all of my brethren support Garrosh.
Vol'jin: You set one foot in Orgrimmar, Hellscream gonna bury a knife in ya neck!
Thrall: I am going to Orgrimmar, alone. Eitrigg, Saurfang, surely they are standing against Garrosh, I must find others.
Thrall: It is a risk I have to take. But if I am killed, please watch over Aggra and my boy.
Vol'jin: I won't hear ya say such tings.
Thrall: It has to be said, Vol'jin. If we do not make it through this - I want you to know. You have always been my friend. My brother.
Vol'jin: For da Horde.
Thrall: For the Horde.
Baine and Vol'jin upon victory in Razor Hill:
Vol'jin: It be done! Razor Hill is ours! Da Warchief probably see da fires all the way from Grommash Hold…
Baine: Vol'jin - you're alive! It is true then - an open rebellion against the Warchief.
Vol'jin: Baine. We be needing' ya support. Razor Hill be but an outpost - the walls of Orgrimmar be fortified since da Cataclysm.
Baine: I must tread carefully. Many of my people are still within Orgrimmar.
Vol'jin: Lor'themar be ready to strike once he finish wit da Isle of Thunder, and da Banshee Queen need no excuse, but they botha cross da see. Without ya strength, we can't breech the city. I need tauren arms.
Baine: We are preparing. I just need time to ensure the safety of my people. But Vol'jin…
Vol'jin: Hmmm….
Baine: Garrosh has turned Orgrimmar into a fortress. You may need to seek out allies… beyond the Horde.
Vol'jin, when asked "Why are you fighting against your own Warchief?"
Ya still call him "Warchief"? Is he still YOUR Warchief? What of de spoils of his war? I don't see you fat an' happy like his Kor'kron. His Horde be an orc Horde. Do ya still feel welcome here? Are ya a part of his plan? Or are ya trash he gonna do away wit' once he has his way? He promise glory, but bathes our Horde in blood, an' steps on anyone who see it different.
Ya wanna know how I see de Horde? De Horde dat me an' Thrall built?
Horde be a family. When de whole world try ta put us down, de family come an' pick us back up. We all each other got, see?
Hellscream, he don't see family. Ain't never had one. All he see is power, like he just come through the portal.
<Vol'jin stares off into the distance.>
We stand against him - together, here, now - or he stop us out. One. By One. I got de scars ta prove it.
Who do ya trust? Where be your loyalty now? Hellscream? Or family?
Vol'jin, when asked "What happened to you in Pandaria?"
<Vol'jin runs his three-fingered hand over his scar.>
It been a long road, friend. Garrosh tried ta take me life wit' a knife in de throat. Left me for dead. I crawl out dat cave, couldn't even speak. It was Chen Stormstout who found me, nursed me back from de brink.
We travelled to de Shado-Pan Monastery, an' dye help me do some soul-searching. Figure out who I was. Who de Horde was. Me father…
I made up me mind. I'm taken' de Horde back. No matter de cost.
Darkspear never die.
Vol'jin, when asked "Does Garrosh know you're alive?"
<Vol'jin allows a grim smile to creep across his scowling features.>
Not yet he don't. Maybe he hearing' rumors. Maybe he thinking', dye ghost stories. Maybe ol' Vol'jin common' back ta haunt him. Hah.
He find out soon enough. Too bad I'm not gonna be there ta see da look on his fat, beady-eyed face when he hears ol' Vol'jin is back, an' gonna make good on me promise. Ta end his sad little reign. Ta fire de arrow dat pierces his black heart.
Alliance
: Teleport to Ratchet from Shrine of the Seven Stars, and then head to Skull Rock by Orgrimmar to meet up with members of SI:7 in hiding.
: Disguised as "Project C4T" (a
Felino Termoflussante
), you'll navigate your way around the Horde camp to free a prisoner, Zen'tabra, and retrieve three important documents. If you walk too close to the Kor'kron, your disguise will be blown.
: Meet up with
Zen'tabra
in Razor Hill. This is a bit risky as you're going into a Horde city, but SI:7 gives you a white flag so Vol'jin's most trusted allies won't attack you.
When you do meet up with
Zen'tabra
, you're soon attacked by members of Razor Hill, but she calms them down. At this point, you realize that Razor Hill has been taken over by the Darkspear!
: Follow
Zen'tabra
to Vol'jin's encampment to the north of Razor Hill.

Chen Stormstout:
When I first sailed away from the Wandering Isle, years ago, this ragged shore was one of the first places I visited. Ahh! The air still smells the same!
But times have changed. Back them I helped Thrall, Vol'jin, Rexxar and Rokhan to lay the foundation of Orgrimmar. Today, I hardly recognize the place.
<Chen's face falls.>
So much needless bloodshed. I just don't understand. Has Pandaria taught us nothing?
Vol'jin, when asked "Why are the Darkspear in rebellion against Garrosh?'
Ya wouldn't understand. What's de Horde to ya, night elf? Hm? Diseased? Alien? Betrayers? Demon-blooded? Beasts? I know what ya say 'bout us.
I'll tell ya what de Horde is. De Horde dat me an' Thrall built. It be a family. When de whole world try ta put us down, de family come an' pick us back up.
Hellscream, he don't see family. Ain't never had one.
For him, Horde be about orcs, an' buildin' up orc power. Like he just come through de portal. Anyone stand in his way, anyone tink any diff'rent, he shut 'em up.
<Vol'jin runs his three-fingered hand across his scar.>
He like an angry dog. Oh, I fight next to Hellscream in battle, sure. But put him in charge? Ya askin' for trouble. He pick his favorites, start his war, shove me bruddahs aside... He don't tink he need hobody else. Well, he wrong.
He gonna learn: ya never cross family.
Vol'jin, when asked "Why should we help you? What if we kept the Barrens supplies for ourselves?"
<Vol'jin cackles, the stench of his hot breath reeking in your nostrils.>
Oh, ya got anudda plan? I got anudda plan too. I let ya siege of Orgrimmar on ya own. See how far ya get. An' once da city be filled wit' corpses, den me shadow hunters come in, we mop up what left, kill Kor'kron an' Alliance alike. GIve ya dead ta Sylvanas. Hmm! I save a lot oa Darkspear lives wit' dis plan!
Mmnn... You don't like? Then, we stay wit' da first plan. We work together.
We don't even have ta like each other.

Il vecchio veggente
: Locate Seer Hao Pham Roo on the slopes of Mount Neverest in Kun-Lai Summit.
Hellscream is using Pandaria's secrets to wage war against the world - and even his own people. Is this really what the last pandaren emperor had in mind when he cloaked the continent in mists? And why did the mists suddenly disappear? I must have answers! In my travels, I met an old scholar, an expert on the last emperor. Please, seek out Seer Hao Pham Roo. Last we spoke, he was planning to retrace the emperor's steps by scaling Mount Neverest... but he was far too old to attempt such a climb.
La via dell'ultimo Imperatore
: Attach the climbing rope to each Rope Anchor along the path to help Seer Hao Pham Roo reach Seeker's Point.
In his time of uncertainty, the last emperor walked a lonely path up this mountain, until he had at last found his answers. I am here to walk the same path, and it seems you have questions of your own to be answered. Perhaps you will join me, and we can both be satisfied? Oh, but I am getting old, and this blizzard is proving too much for my bones. Could you climb ahead and anchor this rope? I can hoist myself along from there. Together we shall walk the path of the last emperor.
In assisting Seer Hao Pham Roo, you learn a lot of interesting things about the history of Pandaria.
Seer Hao
: Heh. Do not get angry with the elements, violence is their nature. I conquered my anger long, long ago.
Seer Hao
: My, you are strong! When I was young, I might have doubted that we could do this. But now, I have no doubts at all.
Seer Hao
: Such wind! Such cold! Once, it would have filled these old bones with despair. But on this day, I am filled with hope.
Seer Hao
: Such a patient one! When I was young, I would have hated this task. Nowadays, I am filled with love.
Seer Hao
: Do not fear the heights, as I did when I was young. Fear can drive us to terrible deeds. Ah, but I see that like me, you have learned the lessons of courage!
Seer Hao
: Ah, here we are. Oh, these old bones are tired. More tired than you can imagine...
Seer Hao
: You surprised me. I expected a hero such as yourself to balk at the task of carrying an old man up a mountain. Most are too proud.
Seer Hao
: I was going to teach you a lesson, but instead, it is you who have taught me. You see, when I was young...when I was young...when I was young...
Seer Hao
: I was EMPEROR.
Emperor Shaohao
: The realm you see all around you was mine to command.
Emperor Shaohao
: I conquered my doubts, my fears, my anger... I buried all of it within the land.
Emperor Shaohao
: But I held on to one vice. The one sha I never conquered. PRIDE.
Emperor Shaohao
: My pride cloaked this land in mists! I thought we were better than the rest of the world.
Emperor Shaohao
: I thought we could solve our own problems. But for ten thousand years, we stagnated, our doubts and fears buried in the land, rising up to fester whenever we allowed them.
Emperor Shaohao
: Pride. It is the most insidious of sha. It is good until it is bad. And then it is more dangerous than all the others combined.
Emperor Shaohao
: Beware of Pride! Be humble! The world is plunging into chaos. Old enemies must work together. Proud races must admit they need help.
Emperor Shaohao
: Things are going to get worse before they get better. Only by working together can we overcome the darkness.
Emperor Shaohao
: All that stands in our way...is pride.
