Stormsong Valley and the Old Gods

posted 2018/04/08 at 11:07 PM by perculia

Early Look at Stormsong ValleyStory spoilers in the post.HighlightsZul has teamed up with AzsharaLady Ashvane is in league with AzsharaStormsong UnrestHouse StormsongLord Stormsong: No more will we work our fields and build our ships for the haughty Boralus elite to give nothing in return. We must work as one and muster our strength. Kul Tiras will forever belong to its people! Our mighty tidesages shall guide us all to victory with the very power of the sea itself!The Rising TideBound and OppressedStormsong: The tides shift, brother. If you do not stand with me, then you are lost.
Brother Pike: It is you who are lost!
Stormsong: You were always too weak to serve by my side, languishing in that village like a fool.
Brother Pike: We swore to protect that village. To protect our people! Have you forgotten our oaths!
Stormsong: Can you not feel the great power deep below? By its will we shall be whole once more!
Voices BelowThe others forged ahead to Fogtide Assembly. I've no doubt they will not receive a warm welcome. We are to meet them there. However, there is something I must do first. Despite my Lord's retreat I still feel a terrible darkness nearby; I wish to listen to the tides for answers. I would appreciate your joining me in case more danger strays in our path.

There is a bridge nearby that has clear sight of the Shrine of the Storm. The omen comes from there.
Long has my order listened to the sea to guide our ships and our people. Gentle whispers, imperceptible to most.
Over time the whispers..changed. At times they were demanding, even violent.
We attempted to guard ourselves against them, to resist them, but I fear we may have failed.
Here we have a fade-to-black placeholder cinematic, with the description "A ship enters the dungeon. Pike expresses grave concern as to why a ship bearing villagers would enter his order's sanctum.SageholdBeneath the VeilWhispers from BelowStorm's VengeanceFrom the Maw of MadnessBrother Halsey: It is too soon. He has not yet drowned in the master's glory!The Storm AwakensTwisted IntentionsSails... in the fog... A light below... in the darkness. Water rising... given form... the pain... AHHHH, THE PAIN! Make it stop. Make it stop. Make the pain stop!Underwater Basket Weaving: A TreatiseLegends of the Forbidden TideThe Old God and the SeaOathbound
I took oaths, damn it. We all did. When Lord Stormsong sent the first orders... well, you saw what happened. What matters is that our oaths are to our people, not Lord "Sells His Soul". You won't find him here - he's deep in the Shrine by now, and no outsider will make it across the channel alive... Not without a Tideguard to open the way. <Victoria locks eyes with you.> The Rod of Tides is the key to the front door, and it's kept here. Retrieve it and I can get you to Stormsong.Image of Lord Stormsong: Our destiny is nearly upon us. They must not enter the Shrine of the Storm.
Wavespeaker Reid: I was merely toying with them, my lord. It shall be done!Reaching Shrine of the StormEye of the StormTaelia: Was Lord Stormsong always this cruel?
Tideguard Victoria: Not at all. He was so kind before the whispers took him.
Tideguard Victoria: It was his father who guided us to this valley, many years ago.
Lord Stormsong: And it is I who will deliver us to our glorious future beneath the tides.
Lord Stormsong: You think you stand in my way, but Kul Tiras' fate was sealed long ago.
A Bridge Too FarLost and ForgottenSealed FateThe Final AscentStorm's EndAzshj'thul the DrownedAzshj'thul the Drowned: The sunken realm welcomes your yawning souls.
No light. No escape. The forgotten king returns.
My fall is but a beat in the heart of the infinite abyss.Pride of AzsharaThe Shifting TidesThis stone pulses with the power of Azshara herself! Take it to the forces at the fort proper. They will know what to do.From the DepthsPride of AzsharaBroadcast TextIt would seem you have guests, Lord Stormsong.
You dare to interfere in my affairs? What makes you think you can oppose my will?
Drown these insects, my children. Show yourselves worthy of my pride.
Enjoy this victory. It will be your last.
How tenacious! Feel honor in your accomplishment of living long enough to face my pride.Related Dungeon - Shrine of the StormsVol'zith the WhispererAqu'sirrNormal

Comment by UtigardeI really loved playing through this zone. I love the set-up for the Tidemother being the antithesis to Azshara, with both of them having artifacts for their Pride and Wrath. Makes me wonder who/what the Tidemother is. All the statues of her make her look like a Kraken, so she could be similar to the one the Tuskarr worship. Here's hoping they don't go the boring route and just have the Tidemother be Azshara, because I really want Kul Tiran shamans.Comment by perculiaThat's a great point!Comment by velicelaI’m a simple elf. I see old gods I click!Comment by aviaticlolIn case people missed it; Aqu'sirr is the boss they were designing at the Design A Dungeon Boss panel at Blizzcon.Comment by KasenovaSo if there's a Wrath of Azshara, and now a Pride of Azshara, does that mean there are five more monsters like those based on the seven deadly sins?

~~Lust of Azshara, for example. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)~~Comment by topherc1"After all the questing to unlock Shrine of the Storms, we venture inside as one of the Battle for Azeroth dungeons."

Does this mean we HAVE to complete the questing before the dungeon is available or that the dungeon is just a continuation of the story and is available in the que at a certain level? Legion had a lot of gated content and I'm gonna be furious if it ends up happening that way again.Comment by Vindal"After all the questing to unlock Shrine of the Storms, we venture inside as one of the Battle for Azeroth dungeons."

They are basically recolored ZANDALARI ( which doesn’t have anything do to with Kul Tiras) and some normal Kul Tiras question gear! I was hoping for something more interesting and good looking!
