Skylanders in Azeroth

Fel Lore

With all the Skylanders and the leaders of both the Alliance and the Horde present, Alexstraza the Life-Binder decided to ask her old friend.

"Master Eon, while it is good to see you return to Azeroth, I know that you now only come to certain worlds not for visitation, but to reveal bad omens. Omens we Aspects know you are not one to bring, but bad tidings. So...what really brought you back to Azeroth?" She asked.

Eon sighed. "I am glad that I am not a symbol of bringing bad omens," he sighs deeply. "...but you are right. I have come to reveal bad tidings. News that not you and your fellow Aspects, nor the Alliance or the Horde, will be happy to hear," he stated.

The heroes of Azeroth looked upon Eon.

"The Fel... has come... to Skylands," he announced.

Anduin, Thrall, the other leaders of both Alliance and Horde, and even the Dragon Council were shocked to hear that.

"The Fel has returned? I know there are Warlocks who use a portion of the Fel to help save lives.. but the kind of Fel you're referring to is the kind that endangers them," Anduin surmised.

"Your surmise is correct, Young Lion. There is only one orc who is capable of producing mass amounts of Fel," Eon replied.

"Gul'dan's...alive? No. It can't be. Surely, this is some kind of cruel joke?" Thrall asked.

"I wish I was joking, Thrall. But no. I could feel that demonic aura coming from my son as he finally managed to take over Skylands with this new power of his."

"Especially.. when he turned all the innocent creatures of Skylands into his Fel-touched soldiers of evil," Kassandra added.

"Then you have come to the right place to seek aid and shelter in a world that has dealt with Fel-touched monsters," Alexstraza comforted the two before looking at Thrall on her right.

Ron and Kassandra remembered Thrall's past with the Fel.

"What's wrong, Thrall?" Fluttershy asked.

"It's just that.. I too was once a creature of the Fel. But not by choice," Thrall answered.

The Skylanders were surprised.

He sighs.

"When the original Orc homeworld, known as Dreanor, was dying. My father, Durotan, chieftain of the Frostwolves.."

"Badass name for a clan by the way," Jonathan quickly pointed out as Saivon, Mike, and Luke nodded in agreement.

Thrall chuckled before continuing.

"...had discovered that our homeworld was dying when Gul'dan came to power. His Fel.. destroyed all forms of life, leaving it as a barren wasteland," Thrall added.

"So, when a female Orc by the name of Garona, which means cursed in Orc, led a band of humans from Stormwind to spy on one of the Orcish camps, my father took the initiative to spy on them as well.. but only to talk to her. To tell her that he would want an audience with the king as he and Garona both know that Gul'dan's magic is nothing but death."

"And she agreed. She even asked that once Gul'dan was dead, she would be welcomed into the Frostwolves. My father saved her life as it was held by a chain, so being a Frostwolf Orc would mean she would owe her life to the chieftain that saved her."

"But my father told her she would be better off with the humans; safe with them rather than being Gul'dan's pet. If only she knew it wasn't because of her 'cursed' name, but out of the kindness of his heart."

"She did what he asked, went to the king of Stormwind and convinced him to meet with Durotan to save both the humans the Orcs had captured, and help protect the Frostwolves from Gul'dan's Fel. But the most trusted friend of my father, Orgrim Doomhammer, betrayed him by telling both Gul'dan and Blackhand where this meeting would take place. Orgrim then changed his mind and realized his mistake by telling my father that he couldn't see them fight against their own kind, even if they were corrupted by the Fel."
