The Draenei had to flee from many worlds as the Legion chased after them across the heavens.

It is upon one of these worlds where a valiant few remained with the radiant jewel of healing, T'uure, to face the Legion and allow their friends to escape.

A rumor is spreading that a soldier in Dalaran has seen the lost crystal in possession of the Legion. If this is true, it must be retrieved!

Priestly Matters

"I apologize for the secrecy, old habits die hard. I am Alonsus Faol. At times, I have been the leader of a church, a mindless minion of the Scourge, and a commander in a secret war. But I have always been a priest first.

"The Legion is a threat I cannot ignore, so I have decided to step out from the shadows. I am working on gathering priesthoods of all denominations to address this threat together.

"At its head would be a priest that has proven his or her ability so often they are a hero to all people. I believe you are that hero, but others still need convincing. Will you take on this challenge?"

The Vindicator's PleaHouse Call

"I must have been dreaming of Alora. She was my cellmate in that accursed world the demons took me to. She told me she saw the crystal but never said much else.

"I just hope she is still alive."

"You seek a demon with a staff of crystal? The Eredar that calls itself Lady Calindris has one that matches your description perfectly.

"She's my prey though! I've been chasing her minion all over the isles and I'm not about to let this opportunity pass.

"I could use someone to watch my back though. If you help me out, I'd be willing to let you take this staff you seek. I don't care about her equipment, it's her soul that I'm after."

Vindicator Boros: "If you had faith in the light, demon Hhnter, there would be nothing to fear! I fear for your soul, demon hunter. It's not too late: You can still turn to the light and let it cleanse you of this corruption."

A Gift of TimeArtifact Book Text

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru

T'uure is one of the purest physical embodiments of the Light in existence. The dynamic energies that flow through this artifact can heal wounds both physical and mental. They can inspire hope in times of overwhelming darkness, and fortify timid hearts with courage.

But perhaps T'uure's greatest strength is what we can learn from its past. If there is one thing to take away from its history, it is this: even one brave soul wielding the Light can save the lives of thousands.

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part One

The draenei have many legends about the benevolent naaru. Few are as cherished as the tale of T'uure.

Like other naaru, T'uure vowed to protect all mortal civilizations in the universe from the clutches of darkness. This noble quest eventually led the holy being to a world called Karkora. Its mortal denizens faced annihilation at the hands of a monstrous entity known as Dimensius the All-Devouring.

As Dimensius shrouded Karkora in Void energies, T'uure expended its own life force to spare the world from doom. The naaru shattered into fragments and sparked a colossal holy nova. The energy cascaded over Karkora, washing away the void and banishing Dimensius from the world.

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Two

From the Draenei holy tome entitled Lessons in Hope and Sacrifice:

"T'uure had shattered, but even broken, its Light was undiminished. Each piece blazed like a star, drawing naaru from the far corners of creation. They scooped up T'uure's glittering fragments, and they sang songs of the sacrifice that had saved a world.

"The Naaru gifted these shards to various races that they believed showed potential for good. The largest piece of T'uure was passed to our own ancestors: the ancient eredar of Argus.

"It is said that this artifact plummeted from the sky like a falling star. Night turned to day, and T'uure's glorious Light painted the heavens in shades of gold for a full week."

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Three

The eredar were a highly erudite people who cherished learning, and they studied T'uure with great curiosity. The first among them to truly harness the artifact's power for good was the wise leader named Velen.

During Velen's time, a strange curse spread across Argus. The victims found their minds addled, their memories diminished. Few things terrified the eredar as much as losing their precious knowledge. They reacted with fear and paranoia. To prevent others from contracting the affliction, many of the eredar considered quarantining the cursed or even banishing them from Argus.

Yet Velen would not abandon his people. At great risk to himself, he walked among the cursed with T'uure in hand. Velen called upon the artifact's powers and cured all of the stricken eredar.

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Four

An excerpt from The Corruption of the Eredar and the Flight of the Draenei, by the historian Llore:

"When Sargeras came to Argus to corrupt the eredar, nearly all fell under his sway. Velen and his followers were the exception. With the Naaru's help, they embarked on a harrowing escape from their home. The going was not easy. Demons awaited the fleeing eredar at every corner.

"Despair gripped the renegades, and many even considered giving up. It was during this dark and trying time that Velen brought T'uure to bear. Its brilliant energies shone before the renegades and renewed their dwindling confidence. Emboldened by the artifact, Velen's followers believed that they could do the impossible, that they could complete their daring flight from Argus. And so they did.

"From that day forward, the renegades called themselves the draenei. It is a name that everyone on Azeroth now knows. But if not for T'uure, perhaps the draenei would have never come to be."

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Five

Aboard a dimensional fortress called the Genedar, the draenei fled across the stars. The demons pursued them relentlessly, determined to punish the renegades for escaping corruption.

The long millennia that followed were harsh on the draenei. They could not rest. The threat of capture haunted their dreams. To defend themselves against the Legion, many turned to T'uure and other holy artifacts brought from Argus. The draenei studied these relics and honed their connection to the Light under the tutelage of Velen and the naaru.

A student named Askara showed more promise than the rest. In time, she would earn the right to carry T'uure, and she would become one of the greatest healers the draenei would ever know.

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Six

Askara had lost her entire family on Argus, but she found a new one aboard the Genedar. She saw the draenei as her brothers and sisters, and she vowed to do whatever she could to protect them.

Yet she was not gifted with physical strength or a talent for forging armaments. Instead, she turned to the Light. Her mastery of holy magic became so great that Velen eventually gave T'uure to her. Askara spent her every waking hour studying the artifact and unlocking its extraordinary potential.

It was during this time that Askara received a vision of the future. She foresaw her people finding a sanctuary from the Legion. A new life. A new world to call home.

But strangely, she did not see herself there.

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Seven

The draenei visited many different worlds in search of a safe haven, but they rarely stayed for very long before the Burning Legion would learn of their whereabouts. Before the demons could confront them, the draenei would gather aboard the Genedar and disappear into the stars once again.

The Legion's relentless pursuit bred depression and pessimism in many draenei, but they did not suffer in silence. Askara sought out her forlorn kin and spoke to them of their troubles. She carried T'uure with her at all times, the relic casting an aura of holy magic around her that lifted the other draenei's spirits.

"It is true that the Legion is vast and mighty, but they do not stand in the Light as we do," Askara often said. "No matter how strong our enemy is, if they walk in darkness, they will always stumble and fall."

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Eight

From the Draenei holy tome entitled The Second Sun of Shar'gel:

"The Burning Legion had lain in wait for us on Shar'gel, watching as we disembarked from the Genedar and set foot on the world. We believed we had found a place to settle. A place to start over again.

"We were wrong.

"Fel portals screamed open all around us, spewing forth doomguards, felhounds, and other horrors. The Legion's forces cornered us, cutting off our retreat to the Genedar. I thought we were done for.

"Then I saw... her. I saw Askara.

"She planted herself between us and the demons, T'uure held high. A storm of light erupted around her, blinding the Legion's minions and shielding us from their fel-touched blades. As we battled our way to the Genedar, T'uure grew brighter and brighter until it shone like a second sun on Shar'gel."

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Nine

When the Burning Legion beset the draenei on Shar'gel, Askara finally understood the strange vision of the future she had seen so long ago. One day, her people would locate a new home, but she was not fated to join them. She would die on Shar'gel to give them a chance to find that sanctuary.

Askara and seventy other draenei volunteered to distract the Legion. With their blood, they would buy the rest of the renegades the time to escape Shar'gel. The battle between the demons and these brave defenders would go down as one of the greatest instances of self-sacrifice in Draenei history.

Hundreds of demons smashed into the seventy-one like a battering ram of fel-forged steel, but the defenders gave no ground. Not a single inch. Every time a draenei teetered on the brink of death, Askara was there. She charged through the battle lines and mended the wounded with T'uure's holy Light.

Because of Askara, the seventy-one fought with the courage and strength of a thousand. Because of her, the Draenei race escaped annihilation.

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Ten

After the Battle of Shar'gel, T'uure fell into the Burning Legion's hands. The demons had witnessed Askara's heroic last stand, and they attributed her immense power to the strange artifact. Legion forces squabbled over control of the relic before Kil'jaeden the Deceiver finally decided who it would go to.

He entrusted the artifact to an eredar priestess named Lady Calindris. She was one of the few demons who understood the draenei's holy magics. What was more, Calindris had an intimate knowledge of T'uure itself. Long ago on Argus, the priestess had acted as a caretaker of the eredar's holy relics.

It took years before Calindris finally bent T'uure to her will. After a series of grim rituals, she transformed the artifact into a dark reflection of itself. Where once T'uure inspired hope, now it would spread fear. Where once the relic healed, now it would cause wounds to fester.

T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Part Eleven

Lady Calindris relished bending T'uure to her will and using its corrupted power against her foes. She loathed the draenei, and the thought of befouling their cherished artifact delighted her to no end.

Calindris grew so talented at wielding T'uure that the demon lord Kil'jaeden gave her a special task. She would serve as a torturer on the Legion's prison worlds. Calindris was well-suited for this role. She made an art out of inflicting suffering on her captives, and images of T'uure filled their nightmares.

Much like Askara, Calindris eventually received a vision of the future. She foresaw the Legion invading the world of Azeroth and bathing it in fel fire. Strangely, Calindris herself was not there.

But T'uure was. A stranger wielded the artifact in its glorious true form, and its Light blinded the Legion's forces, shining over the land like a second sun.

After the last stage of the scenario and returning to the Class Hall, I was able to complete Return of the Light from Prophet Velen. I think A Gift of Time belongs to a different questline.
