World of Warcraft: Class Hall Overview. World of Warcraft Class Hall Review Kayn Sunfury

You may have noticed that there is some confusion in the Alliance and Horde forces right now - a mess in the ranks of the leadership. In World of Warcraft: Legion, you will have to take charge and find a way to rally your people against the demons that threaten all life on Azeroth. To save the world from destruction, you will travel to the Broken Isles. Here you have to team up with other representatives of your class (regardless of their faction) and oppose the Burning Legion.

Every class needs a home: a sanctuary where heroes can find support, and a war meeting room where battle plans can be drawn up. In the Legion expansion, this home will be your stronghold - a stronghold unique for each class, where together with you the heroes of the world of Warcraft will try to repel the armies of the Burning Legion that invaded the Broken Isles.

Although Altruis supported his mentor for a long time, he eventually decided that Illidan had become too distracted and obsessed with other issues instead of destroying demons. Altruis left the ranks of the Illidari and went on a journey through Outland, cracking down on demons with his own powers. His faithful companion was a Nether dragon named Netrandamus.

As long as the transporters were available to the demons, the raids on the camps would have had no effect. Altruis began to look for a way to destroy the Legion's buildings, and while he was developing a plan, the hero was asked to distract enemy engineers and repairmen in order to slow down progress. However, it soon became clear that the fel iron from which the transporters were made was not so easy to destroy.

Altruis knew that all Legion camps were built according to a single plan approved by the master planner. Usually this planner carried around a lot of blueprints. The demon hunter asked the hero to get these blueprints, which would allow him to seek help from an acquaintance of the Sufferer.

This acquaintance was a mo "arg named Salsalabim, who once served the Legion. Now he was in the Lower City of Shattrath and, staying in a bar, tried to drown his sadness in a glass. The hero, sent by Altruis along with the drawings, forced Salsalabim to cooperate. Mo "arg, after checking the drawings, offered to deploy the Fel cannons and fire them at the camp buildings. To turn the cannon, a key was required, which was kept by the guards.

The demon hunter liked the idea of the camps being destroyed by the Legion's own weapons. He sent the same hero on a mission: find the guards in both camps, take away the keys and use them to activate the guns. So, the Hatred and Fear camps were destroyed, which made it possible to contain the onslaught of the Legion in Nagrand.

Training grounds of Karabor

The Burning Crusade to World of Warcraft.

As the Aldor and Scryer forces began preparing to invade the Black Temple, the first target was the training ground of Karabor, where new demon hunters were trained. Both factions knew rumors of a Rogue Hunter who remained in Nagrand. Altruis hated the demons with all his heart and might have agreed to give the necessary information to the hero sent by the Aldors and the Seers. However, Altruis stated that he would not reveal anything until he received proof that the hero was fighting against the same enemies as him.

He offered the hero to deal with a demon named Xelet, who was true only to himself and fled from the ranks of the Legion. The primitive swamp creatures of Zangarmarsh revered Xelet as a deity. When Draenor almost died, the demon fell into a deep sleep under the waters of Swampfire Lake. It could be awakened by thrusting a strong silver spear near the portal by the lake. When the hero summoned Xelet, he mentioned that he still had a spear scar on his body. The hero, who returned victorious, was told by Altruis that he had once fought the demon himself.

The sufferer demanded that the hero confirm that he was not an ally of Illidan. Although Altruis still respected him and was grateful for his becoming a demon hunter, Illidan had changed - his soul was consumed by the lust for power, and his mind was clouded by defeat. The Mentor had become the one Altruis had sworn to destroy, and the Illidari were no less an abomination than the demons of the Burning Legion. On the instructions of the Sufferer, the hero went to the Illidari Outpost in Shadowmoon Valley and killed Lieutenant Lotros.

Of course, the main enemy of Altruis was the Legion, now and then corrupting the souls of mortals. The hero needed to prove that he was not on the side of the demons. Altruis asked to destroy the demoness named Satal, who at one time eluded him due to her incorporeality. The hero arrived at the forge base of Gehenna, where sinister priestesses worshiped Satal. The shed blood of one of the priestesses forced Satal to take on a material form for the sake of retribution, and the hero managed to deal with her at that moment. Altruis acknowledged that the hero's soul was not corrupted by the Legion.

Varedis

Finally, Altruis told the story of the one who was in charge at the training ground of Karabor - Varedis. This blood elf was one of the first of his kind to be given the opportunity by Illidan to become demon hunters. At first there were five blood elves, and they had to go through incredibly difficult trials. Three candidates died, another went mad. Only Varedis remained, who not only survived the tests, but also demonstrated unprecedented control over his newfound power.

Illidan saw great potential in Varedis and had three of his best students train him. In just a year, Varedis had surpassed all three and realized that the mentors could no longer teach him anything else. He infiltrated the Shadow Council and learned of an artifact called the Book of Fel Names. He read the book and carefully memorized all the information that was indicated in it. Knowing a demon's true name was believed to grant some control over the bearer of the name, and the Book of Fel Names contained within it the names of every demon that had ever existed. By memorizing the names, Varedis gained access to an energy source comparable to the skull of Gul "dan, which was used by Illidan. When Varedis finally returned to the Black Temple, Illidan ordered him to train new demon hunters. Three former mentors of Varedis helped him complete this task.

The hero expressed a desire to stop Varedis and his followers, but Altruis cooled his ardor - in order to fight with Varedis, it was necessary to find the very artifact that endowed him with power. It was rumored that the owner of the Book of Fel Names was a warlock named Blackheart the Instigator, who was hiding in the Dark Labyrinth in Auchindoun. The hero was able to get the artifact and delivered it to Altruis. The demon hunter flinched as he felt the power of the book from afar. He was almost seduced by the desire to retain this unprecedented power, but he managed to restrain himself. The sufferer told the hero that the book must be destroyed at the moment when Varedis will use his reincarnation so that he loses his powers.

Legion

The source of information in this section is an addendum Legion to World of Warcraft.

Despite the help provided by Altruis, after the fall of Illidan, the Guardians captured him along with the rest of the demon hunters. He ended up in the Vault of the Guardians, where he slept for several years until a new invasion of the Burning Legion began. Maiev Shadowsong awakened Altruis and the other Illidari to grant them their freedom in exchange for help in slaying the demons.

Although Altruis was reunited with his brethren, he still believed Illidan's actions were wrong. After his release, he met with Kain Sunfury, one of Illidan's most trusted lieutenants, who considered Altruis a traitor who had killed many demon hunters. Kaine refused to forgive Altruis, and Altruis refused to repent of his actions. The new leader of the Illidari, chosen in Illidan's absence, had to choose one of them as his closest lieutenant.

Official Blizzard Quote ()

Let's take a journey through Mardum with a young demon hunter and find out what it means to be a warrior of Illidan. (Beware, spoilers!)

Shattered Abyss

In front of me, like a huge grinning mouth, Mardum spread out. The currents of Filth flow freely here, like rivers. They both attract and repel at the same time. I was not the only one who set off on a journey through these desert lands. There are others like me: the followers of Lord Illidan, who teaches us that in order to defeat the Burning Legion, we must sacrifice... everything.

But when the fallen titan decided to destroy all existence with his flame, he split Mardum, scattering its fragments across the Twisting Nether. Thus was born the Burning Legion.

Sargeras hid his key in this part of Mardum. This is a kind of master key that opens the way to any of the worlds of the Legion. With the key, Lord Illidan intends to destroy the Legion.

We have two tasks: to destroy the demons in their own citadel and to find the sargerite key.

Way through Mardum

As I walk this Fel-torn land, I slay every demon that comes my way. I know I was born for this. I'm trying to be careful to conserve my strength and not get seriously injured, but I'm not sure if that's necessary. I absorb the souls of demons - they support me and give me the strength to kill again and again. As Lord Illidan says, we turn the power of the demons against them.

By opening the gates of the Legion, we will be able to call on ashtongue, naga and shivarr to help us. For every gate a sacrifice is needed - this is the price of victory in our war.

The warlord Gaardun arrived first and brought with him the gift of Illidan - the fel saber, a mighty beast that can survive in this hostile world. He will serve me well in battle.

Everything here is saturated with the energy of fel. Corruption is everywhere.

Obstacle on the way

Some Illidari were captured by the Legion. To continue the offensive, we will need all our fighters. I need to act quickly: get the keys from the jailers and free my brothers, and then they will join our ranks again.

On the Blazing Shore, Jace Darkweaver wants me to keep an eye on the leaders of the Legion. Doomguard Commander Belialash and Pack Queen Tyranna have colluded to prevent our progress into the volcano where the key is stored.

Urgency

Lady S'theno of the Serpent Rings reported that the situation at the Black Temple was becoming tense. We must find the Sargerite Key Key as soon as possible so we can come to their aid in time.

Run, demon hunter!

At our stronghold, we decide whether to storm the fortress of spidery demons, where Queen of the Pack Tyranna is hiding.

Legion Annihilators begin their bombardment, and Jace's defense totems are threatened. It's time to put the exterminators out of action.

Our fighters move very quickly, and soon the destroyers are defeated by the destructive force turned against them. I made a mistake and got too close to the first opponent, but quickly learned the lesson and already stayed away from the next one.

From time to time I meet fellows who have fallen into the nets of infernal crawlers. They are everywhere. I free the Illidari - it doesn't take long - and they re-engage in a fight that looks like it will never end.

Enlightenment through defilement

The Foul Haven is home to an imp mother who is said to be in possession of a tome of Fel mysteries. If we can get it, we will have even more power at our disposal, which will help us in the fight against the hordes of demons. Defeating the mother of demons will not be easy, but the same can be said for every demon. When we take the tome, it will weaken her somewhat.

Pack Queen Tyranna didn't like it at all that I stole the secrets of the Legion. Her cries make it clear how desperate she is. Meanwhile, our troops are approaching the place where the key is kept.

At the Illidari stronghold, I read the tome and learn more about the power that I can touch - as can all who follow the path of the Illidari. Or is it better to say "one of the possible paths" ... There are two paths before me: one of them is the path of extermination, which I followed from the very beginning of my journey through Mardum. If I continue to follow it, the secrets of metamorphosis and demonic presence will open before me. The other path is the path of vengeance, which will also help me understand the metamorphosis, as well as the Defiled Blood ability. In addition, my piercing gaze will become more “sharp”… I will have demonic spikes at my disposal.

I chose the path of extermination, but if I wish, I can learn the wisdom of the path of vengeance later. Not everyone will be able to cope with the Filth, so we share with each other the experience of contact with it - this is a cup of bittersweet wine of personal experiences.

Spreading my wings

I'm ready to spread my wings - or let the felbat do it, on which I will go to fight Queen Tyranna.

Tyranna has a couple of tricks in store, but the Illidari are just as good at it. I will unleash my new power that I stole from the demons I met along the way to this cursed place. Once she's defeated, we'll retrieve the Sargerite Key.

Having obtained the key, we can open the portal to the Black Temple, but then things take an unexpected tragic turn...

years later

Things did not go as we had hoped: we fell into the hands of Guardian Maiev Shadowsong and languished in her dungeons for years. But now, at an hour when the fate of Azeroth is being decided, she has asked for our help in the fight against the Burning Legion.

We, along with Altruis and Kain, have been released from prison and are now breaking through the levels of the Vault of the Guardians, freeing other Illidari. It's one thing to fight side by side with your brethren, but to be on the same side with the guards after being locked up for so long is unusual to say the least...

Tomb of the Penitent One

Gul'dan found his way to where the guards kept Illidan's body. Now Illidan - even dead - in the hands of the Legion, and this does not bode well for us.

Maiev opens the entrance to the tomb, and to our great surprise, together with Gul'dan, we find the traitor Kordana Felsong there. They flee from us, and we have to fight with two of their minions. Maiev told us that we must survive, find a way to freedom and seek out Archmage Khadgar. That was the last we heard from her.

After defeating the minions of Gul'dan, we make our way to the elevator and meet other Illidari fighting demons. Kaine and Altruis had gone far ahead, but Jace Darkweaver had a felbat with him, and we continued on together.

Alarm in the demon block

Not only the Illidari were held captive here. There were other captives who posed a serious danger to us. We needed to somehow contain them. Here we go through the Casemate of Ice, the Casemate of the Law and the Casemate of Mirrors in order to imprison the creatures that have escaped to freedom again. To get out of here, we need to get into the Hall of Justice.

Choice

Altruis and Kine don't get along, so I have to make a choice about who I'm with. The Well of Judgment will help clear my mind - in its depths I will find the answer.

I made a decision, and now I have to fight Bastillax, take his power and finally gain freedom.

We find Bastillax in the Halls of Night, surrounded by hordes of demons - and we fulfill our duty to the Illidari, breaking through to him.

He turns the very shadow against us, but we stand to the end. Victory is ours! Bastillax's power goes to me. All that was left was to break free.

There, in the wild, Archmage Khadgar is already waiting for us. He seemed to know we were coming. Khadgar is asking for our help in saving Azeroth. Of course we will help. For this we have sacrificed everything. This is our mission...my mission.

Azeroth awaits, and with it freedom. We're going to Stormwind. I march towards my goal and the Burning Legion will be defeated. Hope they are ready.

The first emotion that Korina the Silent felt after being released from confinement was irritation. Because nearby rose to their feet, getting out of the niches, Kain and Altruis.

In general, while the captivity lasted, Korina managed to experience many emotions.

Anger at yourself, at your mistake.

Disappointment in the choice of the path that led to this.

Sad misunderstanding of the former sisters.

Deaf bewilderment: why are they punished so terribly for a just cause?

Weary humility. There are many years ahead...

Lord Illidan once said that only the first thousand years are hard. Then you get used to it. Korina got used to it much faster, in just some miserable few years ... decades? She did not know how long she hung motionless, imprisoned in the crystal, looking at the world through the muddy greenery, unable even to look away. Just close your eyes, hooting into the even greater timelessness of your own silence.

At least it was familiar.

And then it was grossly violated.

No, Korina was grateful to the Guardians who split the crystal. Maybe all is not lost and Azeroth can still be saved. Perhaps the Guardians realized that a common goal is already a pledge of loyalty to the Illidari, which holds them much stronger than any chains.

May be...

Maybe these two will finally shut up?!

Clutching the handles of the blades tighter, Korina bared her teeth, throwing herself at the creatures that filled the Casemates. So at least silence reigned, the two behind her also only fought back in unison, following her as she led them through such familiar corridors.

The small detachment gradually grew, more Illidari joined it, the cloaks of the Guardians flickered around. There were also enough vile faces of demons and other inhabitants of the chambers, they had to cut through to the exit, allowing themselves only rare respite. And with each of them, the annoyance grew, because it was worth stopping and taking a breath, Kine and Altruis grappled again.

Korina disliked both.

What kindred who brought so many troubles there, in Outland, doubting and, in fact, betraying his brothers and sisters. Yes, Korina perfectly understood that not everyone has the strength to restrain the demon, not everyone has the will to follow the chosen path ... But it is difficult to achieve great success alone. Even Lord Illidan needed support. And he did not kill former brethren, as Altruis did.

As for Kain... It seems to have been in the blood of all those who once followed Dath'Remar. Blind boundless devotion to the leaders, which cost the lives of many. Why look far: how the blood elves believed their Kael'thas and what came of it.

Korina could have expressed her opinion to both, but habitually remained silent. She was silent when she left, barking angrily at the end, Altruis. She was silent when Cain was crucified later.

She made a decision, one thing that was only right for her. Perhaps Lord Illidan would not have been pleased with him... Just as Mev was definitely not pleased once, when one of the Guardians went to the Illidari. But then it was the right way. And now Korina knew one thing: the decision to believe or not to believe Illidan was hers alone.

She won't reject anything right away. She will watch. Weigh. Think.

And stand until the end in only one.

Stand to the end for Azeroth.
