The Covenant Campaign storylines wrapped up this week with the final chapters unlocking with 22 Renown. Though they sometimes overlap, each Covenant has had its own, unique storyline, specific to that Covenant's concerns, interests, and zone. We thought it would be nice to do a quick recap.
For a more detailed look at these stories, our Story Guides have been updated to the end of Chapter 9. Check them out if you haven't already!
The Story of the Kyrian Covenant Campaign The Story of the Necrolords Covenant Campaign
The Story of the Night Fae Covenant Campaign The Story of the Venthyr Covenant Campaign
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
Overview
The Kyrian campaign's main focus is defending their realm, mostly against Forsworn attacks. This conflict climaxes during the final chapter, where
乌瑟尔
is finally shown to regret his mistakes from
Afterlives: Bastion
enough to join the fight on the Kyrian side, helping to defeat the Forsworn leader,
莱索尼娅
. In the end,
长女格里斯蒂亚
grants him mercy, though he's placed under guard, and there is some discussion that the Kyrian have a lot to think about.
The Necrolords' campaign's main focus is the war in their realm, as the House of the Chosen fights desperately against the treacherous Houses that have abandoned the Maldraxxi's sacred duty of protecting the realms of the
暗影国度
. The final chapter overlaps with the Venthyr, as both Covenants assault the House of Rituals, where
克尔苏加德
has taken control after betraying and imprisoning the House of Rituals' true leader,
辛达妮侯爵
. The Necrolords ultimately defeat
克尔苏加德
and rescue
辛达妮侯爵
, effectively winning
玛卓克萨斯
's civil war.
The Night Fae's campaign's main focus is to nurture their realm, trying to cope with looking after the souls entrusted to their care, the Anima drought that's killing the forest, and invasions from both
Mueh'zala
, and the Drust. In the final chapter, Night Fae players launch an assault on the Drust invaders, taking down their leader,
高莱克·扎尔
, only to discover, tragically, that they've been fooled by an illusion, and have murdered
艾拉隆
from the
Afterlives: Ardenweald
short instead. Despite this setback, the Night Fae are able to finally defeat the Drust. In the aftermath, they're even able to witness the
寒冬女王
empowering the Heart of the Forest once more.
The Venthyr campaign's main focus is to successfully pull off a revolution in their realm, overthrowing
德纳修斯大帝
and placing his son,
雷纳索尔王子
in his place. As part of this, the Venthyr need to collect seven medallions, with final chapter revolving around getting
雷纳索尔王子
's own
统御勋章
back from its new possessor -
克尔苏加德
of the House of Rituals. The final chapter of the Venthyr campaign overlaps with the Necrolords, as the Covenants run into each other while both assaulting the House of Rituals. The Venthyr are ultimately victorious, and
雷纳索尔王子
realizes absolute power over
雷文德斯
should not be given to one Sire, but rather that the zone should be ruled by a Court.
Kyrian
Focus: Defending their zone.
From the moment players arrived in
晋升堡垒
, the Kyrian's major concern has been the Forsworn. Initially lead by
德沃丝
- once the Paragon of Loyalty, now the Paragon of Doubt - the Forsworn are former Kyrian who question the Kyrian path, particularly the expectation to let go of the memories of one's life. This doubt in the path began when
德沃丝
met
乌瑟尔
- something we witnessed during the
Afterlives: Bastion
short. It eventually leads to
乌瑟尔
bypassing the entire
暗影国度
system to cast
阿尔萨斯
into
噬渊
himself, and to the Forworn joining forces with
典狱长
.
During the Kyrian storyline, the Forsworn are a constant threat, even destroying the Crest of Ascension - a devastating blow as the Kyrian need this crest in order to make new Ascended. Kyrian players help to restore the Crest bit by bit throughout the campaign - a task that sometimes overlaps with other Covenants as they head into the other zones for items needed for the repairs. The Forsworn aren't the only threat, and the Kyrian also take some time to head into
玛卓克萨斯
to help the Necrolords in an assault on the House of Constructs, partly to prevent another attack on
晋升堡垒
.
It's interesting to note the Kyrian path is not treated as perfect beyond question by the story. Kleia is seen to question the path without going full Forsworn after she discovers Kyrian have been carrying on collecting souls and bringing them to the
暗影国度
even after things went wrong and it meant all souls are sent directly to
噬渊
. She is also visibly upset that she wasn't warned about this before she collects a soul herself for the first time, and how this blindsided her.
Even
长女格里斯蒂亚
herself expresses some doubts about the Kyrian way of discarding memories - though this happens in the
晋升高塔
dungeon.
Kyrestia the Firstborne says: Long have we believed that our mortal lives are burdens to be shed in the name of service. And yet, the deeds of mortals are what won the day.
Kyrestia the Firstborne says: You have my gratitude. Once the Jailer lies defeated... there may be much for the kyrian to discuss.
The Story of Bastion's Dungeons
It's also discovered that not all Forsworn might be fully aware of the path their new leaders have placed them on. When
德沃丝
is defeated in the
晋升高塔
, she is replaced by
莱索尼娅
, who later betrays
乌瑟尔
and attempts to sacrifice him for her own power. This leaves
乌瑟尔
questioning his own loyalties, as well as his past actions. The Forsworn might have valid concerns, but it's clear they're being manipulated.
The Kyrian finale ends with a major conflict with the Forsworn. Kyrian players are sent to help recapture The Temple of Loyalty, but have to rush home to Elysian Hold when the Forsworn launch an attack on their leader, The Archon:
长女格里斯蒂亚
.
乌瑟尔
joins the final battle, but on the Kyrian side. Once
莱索尼娅
is defeated, he begs
长女格里斯蒂亚
for mercy, which she grants, and is placed under guard.
Kyrestia the Firstborne says: Your service is complete.
Kyrestia the Firstborne says: As for you, Uther...
Uther says: My Archon, I ask for your mercy. I... did not understand...
Kyrestia the Firstborne says: It is granted, for now.
Kyrestia the Firstborne says: Your actions this day have shown me much.
Kyrestia the Firstborne says: We shall discuss your fate in time. Until then, you may stay here under guard.
As
乌瑟尔
leaves with his guard, he admits that what he did to
阿尔萨斯
was never justice, but vengeance. Interestingly, the response from his guard,
塞尼厄斯
, hints that the Kyrian, too, may need to reconsider some things.
Uther says: I too would like to understand. Please, lead the way.
Uther says: My training as an Aspirant was difficult. I remember nothing of my life.
Uther says: Every time I close my eyes, I see my death. I see... him... standing before me, that cursed blade in hand...
Uther says: Devos convinced me that my death was wrong. She promised me justice.
Uther says: What we did to him was not justice. It was vengeance.
Uther says: Lysonia was no different. I did not know that they wielded the same darkness...
Uther says: Thank you for showing me mercy. I will not forsake it.
Thenios says: We all have much to learn, Uther. Come, let us speak further at my temple.
The campaign ends with the player witnessing the Crest of Ascension's final empowerment.
Necrolords
Focus: War in their zone.
When players first arrive in
玛卓克萨斯
, they quickly discover the zone is in the middle of a civil war. Under normal circumstances, the Maldraxxi would be divided into five great houses: The House of Plagues, the House of Eyes, the House of Constructs, the House of Rituals, and the House of the Chosen. It would also have a leader to rule over all - the Primus. However, the Primus has disappeared. The House of Constructs and the House of Rituals turned on the other houses, destroying the House of Plagues and the House of Eyes. Only the House of the Chosen, the house that
德拉卡女男爵
belongs to, remains loyal to the sacred duty of
玛卓克萨斯
: To protect the realms of the
暗影国度
. We saw some of this in the
Afterlives: Maldraxxus
short.
Throughout the Necrolords campaign, players assist the House of the Chosen in the war against the other houses, and they help empower the Seat of the Primus as they discover various relics of the Primus which they place on the Statue of the Primus.
As for the Primus himself, he remains missing. However, players do happen to come across a large creature named the
刻符者
, trapped by
典狱长
, and missing all his memories, but who is a master smith like the Primus, has certain physical similarities to the Primus, and is voiced by the same voice actor who plays the Primus. But we're sure that's all just a coincidence.
Together with the Kyrian, who are determined to prevent another Maldraxxi assault on
晋升堡垒
, they manage to defeat the House of Constructs, uncovering a plot that involves sending anima to
雷文德斯
. They discover
克尔苏加德
of the House of Rituals is in league with
德纳修斯大帝
of Revendreth, and with
典狱长
, and that he betrayed The House of Rituals from within, eventually taking the leader,
辛达妮侯爵
, captive.
The final chapter overlaps with the Venthyr, as both Covenants assault the House of Rituals together, (see the video under the Venthyr campaign) finally defeating
克尔苏加德
, though he's rescued by his Mawsworn allies, and rescuing
辛达妮侯爵
.
With
辛达妮侯爵
in charge of the House of Rituals again,
德拉卡女男爵
formally invites the House of Rituals to join the Necrolords, an invitation that
辛达妮侯爵
accepts.
Margrave Sin'dane says: Ke'Thuzad is gone, yet your forces remain. Were I the suspicious sort, I might believe you were plotting to unseat me as margrave.
Baroness Draka says: Not if you will agree to join our cause, Sin'dane. Your strength is needed if we are to thwart the Jailer.
Margrave Sin'dane says: I see now the true threat before us. The House of Rituals stands with you. As proof of my good faith, I offer this staff once wielded by the Primus himself.
Baroness Draka says: We will return the staff to the Seat of the Primus. It shall serve as a reminder of our victory.
Baroness Draka says: Though Kel'Thuzad escaped justice, his shadow has been driven from Maldraxxus. And we have gained an uneasy ally in Margrave Sin'dane.
The player returns the
兵主的法杖
to the Seat of the Primus, and Vision of the Primus appears, declaring that the strength of
玛卓克萨斯
lies in unity, rather than in the glorification of one single House.
Vision of the Primus says: Focus. Strategy. Relentlessness.
Vision of the Primus says: These are the weapons of the Necrolords.
Vision of the Primus says: Victory will be claimed not by a single house, but through the strength of our covenant.
Vision of the Primus says: For Maldraxxus!
Night Fae
Focus: Nurture their zone.
When players first arrive in
炽蓝仙野
, the Night Fae's biggest worry is the Anima drought that's destroying her forests. The Heart of the Forest is greatly weakened, which not only puts
炽蓝仙野
at risk, but all of the
暗影国度
. Though the leader of
炽蓝仙野
, the
寒冬女王
, has been doing her best to save as many as she can, much has had to be sacrificed, and a great deal has been lost. One notable example is when the grove of one keeper begins to die.
艾拉隆
does his best to keep the wildseed of
乌索克
alive and nutured, but is eventually faced with the difficult choice to sacrifice
乌索克
for the sake of
炽蓝仙野
as a whole. We watched this decision being made in the
Afterlives: Ardenweald
short.
炽蓝仙野
is a zone that nurtures and cares for the souls placed into its care, and to do this effectively, the forests of
炽蓝仙野
itself need to be strong and healthy. Night Fae players very quickly find themselves put to work, tending to their zone as one might tend to a garden. When
珊蒂斯·羽月
is worried about the effects the Night Warrior powers may have on her adopted mother,
泰兰德·语风
, she comes to
炽蓝仙野
for help. When the player ultimately assists her and
泰兰德·语风
in rescuing the souls of many Night Elves who died in the Burning of
泰达希尔
, their souls are brought to and given a new home in
炽蓝仙野
. (Side note: As a Horde Night Fae main, I have to say being able to do this made me really feel a chance at finding redemption for my role in those
争霸艾泽拉斯
events!)
Shandris Feathermoon says: What will happen to these souls?
Ysera says: They will find peace and respite here. Some may even choose new forms and help tend the groves.
A plan is formed to try help
泰兰德·语风
by spreading her power among many Night Warriors - whose souls are all over
炽蓝仙野
- but those souls are still being gathered. It's likely we will see more of this story in a later patch.
邦桑迪
makes an appearance to highlight the fact that the former Loa of Death,
Mueh'zala
, is in
炽蓝仙野
stealing the wildseeds of Wild Gods. The player helps him confront and ultimately defeat the loa, in quests that reveal that
Mueh'zala
is working with
典狱长
, and that it was
Mueh'zala
who whispered
希尔瓦娜斯·风行者
's name to
沃金
back in
军团再临
, a whisper that made her Warchief and directly led to the events of
争霸艾泽拉斯
.
Mueh'zala says: You don't be stoppin' da Jailer! Him be workin' his plans for a long time. A loooooong time.
Mueh'zala says: War be burnin' dis whole world ta ashes... all over one... little... whisper ta dis foolish troll.
Spirit of Vol'jin says: Dat voice... whisperin' as da poison be burnin' in me veins... Windrunner...
Mueh'zala says: Oh, ya like me whispers, little chieftain? Was gonna send ya soul to da Maw meself... but ya bond ta dis world be too hard ta break.
Spirit of Vol'jin says: It be me who named Sylvanas warchief. But Mueh'zala and da Jailer... dey be pullin' da strings all along.
Meanwhile, the Anima drought has cause
炽蓝仙野
to weaken, making it susceptible to an invasion from the Drust - who invaded the zone once before, long ago. The Drust are stealing Anima and mind-controlling Night Fae with enchanted masks, often turning them so completely they cannot be saved and are forced to be put down instead.
In the final chapter, Night Fae players launch an assault on the Drust invaders, taking down their leader,
高莱克·扎尔
, only to discover, tragically, that they've been fooled by an illusion, and have murdered
艾拉隆
from the
Afterlives: Ardenweald
short instead.
Lady Moonberry says: My Queen... the Drust bent noble Ara'lon to their will and deceived us into confronting him. He's... gone.
Lord Herne says: Our foe now marches on the Grove of Awakening, conscripting your own subjects into their ranks.
Lord Herne says: What are your orders?
Winter Queen says: Loyal Ara'lon understood difficult choices. The need to make certain sacrifices.
The night fae look downcast.
Winter Queen says: But there comes a time to fight for that which we hold most dear.
Winter Queen says: Our sacrifices will not be in vain!
Despite this setback, the Night Fae are able to finally defeat
高莱克·扎尔
. In the aftermath, they're even able to witness the
寒冬女王
empowering the Heart of the Forest once more.
Venthyr
Focus: Revolution in their zone.
When players are first sent to
雷文德斯
, it's with the impression that
德纳修斯大帝
can be trusted. They soon discover he is dealing with a revolution of Venthyr who believe he has betrayed
雷文德斯
, and that the revolutionaries are right.
德纳修斯大帝
has been starving his own citizens of Anima, forcing a drought not just on
雷文德斯
, but on all of the
暗影国度
, while he has stockpiles of Anima himself. This is addressed in the
Afterlives: Revendreth
short.
While all players help enough to discover
德纳修斯大帝
is not only allied with
典狱长
, but has been funneling vast amounts of anima directly into
噬渊
, Venthyr players commit to fully join the revolution - lead by
德纳修斯大帝
's own son,
雷纳索尔王子
. In the beginning,
雷纳索尔王子
has nearly nothing - a handful of allies and a single powerful Medallion, the
恐惧勋章
, found by players within
噬渊
. Players need to help the Venthyr gather power, by both finding more allies, and in finding more Medallions.
There are seven Medallions of Power in
雷文德斯
. The
恐惧勋章
, the
骄傲勋章
, the
欲望勋章
, the
贪婪勋章
, the
嫉妒勋章
, the
统御勋章
, and the Medallion of Wrath. Players can recover the first six of these Medallions - it is assumed the final Medallion will be obtained in a later patch. While players help
雷纳索尔王子
gain power, they also witness him grappling with the legacy of his father, who, instead of properly performing his sacred duty of redeeming souls, fell to temptation and abused his power.
雷文德斯
is about helping souls find redemption before being sentenced to
噬渊
, and when
凯尔萨斯·逐日者
is discovered and rescued during the raid on
纳斯利亚堡
, players get to help
指控者
as she works to redeem his soul. When it's discovered that the new possessor of the
统御勋章
,
雷纳索尔王子
's own Medallion, is
克尔苏加德
, who is now part of the House of Rituals of
玛卓克萨斯
,
凯尔萨斯·逐日者
is particularly furious due to his own history with the lich. And though he remains prideful throughout the story,
凯尔萨斯·逐日者
does eventually show the first hints of remorse. We will likely see more of his redemption later.
The final chapter of the Venthyr campaign overlaps with the Necrolords, as the Covenants run into each other while both assaulting the House of Rituals.
Once
雷纳索尔王子
has his own
统御勋章
back from
克尔苏加德
, (see the video under the Necrolords campaign) he is no longer the leader of a weak, unimpressive force. The Venthyr revolution is, by this stage, a force to be reckoned with.
德纳修斯大帝
's voice tempts him once again, telling him to take all the power at his fingertips, but
雷纳索尔王子
is not his father. When one of his trusted advisors,
指控者
, counsels him to remember how power corrupted his father, he listens, realizing that absolute power over
雷文德斯
should not be given to one Sire, but rather that the zone should be ruled by a Court.
The Accuser says: Will it be enough? We do not yet possess all of the medallions.
Sire Denathrius says: Renethal...
Sire Denathrius says: You know my power. Embrace it. Be one with me... again.
The Accuser says: Yes, Prince Renathal. You do know him. And what his lust for power made him become.
Prince Renathal says: Yes... You are right. I cannot wield such power. But we can.
Prince Renathal says: The time of Sires is over. Revendreth no longer serves a Master, but a Court.
Final Thoughts
As you can see, though these particular chapters are over, the stories of these campaigns are nowhere near done. The Kyrian story hints that, while the Forsworn were manipulated, it was because they had some valid concerns, and the Archon herself may still be willing to reconsider some aspects of the Kyrian path. The Necrolords are still missing their Primus whose disappearance may or may not be related to the
刻符者
- who knows? The Night Fae still need to find out if they can save
泰兰德·语风
from the powers of the Night Warrior. And the Venthyr are still missing a Medallion - and still need to redeem
凯尔萨斯·逐日者
's soul. It's likely we still have a great deal of story to experience. After all, this expansion has only just begun.
