The Alliance zone Stormsong Valley examines the power of the Tidesages and their connection to the sea--for better or worse.

Brother Joseph and Sister Katherine are devout worshippers of the waves. These proud Kul Tirans would gladly risk their lives to ensure the safety of their compatriots. Their command over sea and storm is awesome to behold, as are the ancient and powerful rituals they practice.

A notable transmog item from the Stormwall Blockade is Siren's Song, resembling a magical and nautical scepter.
