They were born when the Titan Guardians reshaped the order of Azeroth that was disrupted by the ancient gods. They are lives created by the Guardians and are a very important part of the Guardian system.
The earth spirits are born with the ability to master the power of the earth, which makes them very talented in construction. According to legend, it was the earth spirits who single-handedly built the miraculous Titan City Ulduar.
But after the rebellion of Loken, the Guardian of Wisdom, the earth spirits were brutally driven out of Ulduar and fled to the Storm Peaks and even the entire world. Moreover, Loken was afraid of the abilities of these earth spirits, so he also sent his own
The cunning and cruel iron dwarves under his command went to hunt them down. Some earth spirits could not bear such atrocities. When Tyr, the god of justice, stepped forward, they followed Tyr and fled to the border of the mainland.
After Tyr died in the battle, they continued to follow Azadas and Elonaya to the ruins of Uldaman. Now, in the renovated ruins of Uldaman, there are still some ancient earth spirits.
exist.
But there are still some earth spirits who did not follow Tyr to leave their hometown. In order to avoid the pursuit of the iron dwarves, they used their shaper power to create a remote but safe place for them on the edge of the tens of thousands of cliffs in the storm cliff.
Sanctuary... The remaining earth spirits have been living there, carefully maintaining the inheritance of the race and avoiding the pursuit of Loken's thugs.
In the thousands of years since the Guardians of Wisdom fell into slumber, the earth elves have breathed a sigh of relief and their race has begun to flourish again, but now, a group of outsiders have taken over the Halls of Stone, awakening the brutal rebels once again
Loken, this makes the earth spirits living in the earth spirit sanctuary face another cruel choice.
Either completely abandon their homes and leave the Storm Peaks, leave their glorious land, and avoid this terrible disaster.
Either...give up the cowardly thoughts in your heart and join these brave outsiders to overthrow Loken's brutal rule in this sacred land...
This is a very difficult choice, but it is also the choice that the current leader of the earth spirits, Elder Budkrag, the stone shaper who has lived from ancient times to the present, must make.
In fact, the earth spirits have long discovered the traces of this group of bronzebeard dwarves who came to the Storm Cliffs a few years ago. Some bold earth spirits will also sneak into the dwarves' base from under the earth and observe curiously.
The lives of these short people who are very similar to them in appearance and habits are the reason why for a period of time, various food, wine and other items were frequently stolen from the dwarf base.
Earth spirits are born with the ability to shape the earth, so if an earth spirit walks under the earth, as long as he does not want you to discover him, then even the most powerful shaman will not be able to find traces of the earth spirit so easily.
Some earth spirits also suggested that Stone Shaper Budkrag get in touch with the Bronzebeard Dwarves, but the mature and prudent elders rejected this suggestion. The Stone Shaper could smell the curse of flesh and blood from the Bronzebeard Dwarves.
The pure earth spirits created by the Titan Guardians, the Stone Shaper instinctively hates this kind of flesh and blood degeneration caused by the ancient gods... However, now, while the Stone Shaper elders are still hesitating, these bronze-bearded dwarves actually
He took the initiative to find the door.
This dwarf who calls himself Brian Bronzebeard has the authority of the Guardian system, so the Stone Shaper is willing to give him a chance, and Brian invites the Stone Shaper Elder Budkrag to come to Snowflow Plains with him.
At the edge of the battlefield, he and the elders watched the war between the coalition forces and the Iron Soldiers of the Stormcast Legion.
"incredible!"
The elder Stone Shaper, who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, is holding his own stone shaping war hammer. The earth spirit wearing ancient armor watched in surprise as the steel soldiers of the Thundercast Legion, who were feared by the earth spirits like tigers, were defeated by these mortals.
, those terrifying weapons that exploded, those war fortresses flying in the sky, and the bravery and madness of those mortal warriors all shocked Elder Budkrag.
And the most important thing is that the earth spirit elder seems to feel some familiar shadows from these mortals.
Especially the little gnomes who were repairing the steam tanks reminded him of the steel gnomes under the mechanical guardian Mimiron. They were also good at engineering...
There are also those humans who bravely step onto the battlefield carrying swords and shields, holding muskets, and sitting on tanks. Their fighting postures and roars remind the Stone Shaper of the Familia of Storm Guardian Thorim, those who fight
The brave and fearless vrykul.
And the bronzebeard dwarf in front of me...
After careful contact, the well-informed Elder Stone Shaper was able to determine that the bronze-bearded dwarf in front of him was a creature derived from the earth spirits who suffered the curse of flesh and blood, but the curse of flesh and blood has never spread to the people of Storm Cliffs.
The earth spirits, so these dwarves are probably the descendants of the earth spirits who followed Tyr, the god of justice, back then...
Thinking of this, Elder Stone Shaper touched his rock-like beard. He looked at Brian Bronzebeard and asked in ancient Titan language:
"We can talk about the alliance later, but I have a question, Bronzan, you must answer me honestly... You, dwarves, who are your ancestors?"
This question surprised Brian. He didn't expect that these lonely earth spirits would be interested in this question. But for an outstanding archaeologist, this question was not difficult for him at all. Brian didn't have much trouble.
Proficient in Titanic, he replied:
"In our memory, the first Mountain King was named Anwemar. He was also the only Mountain King who was respected by the three major clans of Bronzebeard, Wildhammer and Dark Iron. It is said that thousands of years ago, Anwemar
Mal woke up alone in the Coldridge Mountains. He didn't know where he came from. He only had a mysterious necklace in his hand, but he could feel a heavy mission pressing on his shoulders."
Brian vividly described the story of his ancestors, and this story also caused the rock-like blue face of Elder Budkrag, the stone shaper, to change slightly, but he did not interrupt Brian's story, but listened quietly.
The history of the dwarves:
"Anvilmar was not the King of the Mountains at the beginning. He walked throughout the mountains of Khaz Modan, trying to find the memories he had forgotten. Along the way, he saw many dwarves like himself who were helpless.
Out of a will to protect his compatriots, he led them to live in Khaz Modan. Anvilmar ruled the dwarf kingdom for thousands of years. It was the most peaceful time for the dwarves, but
Anvilmar and all the dwarves have never given up on searching for the sacred mission of their blood and their past history."
Brian shrugged:
"Anvilmar did not leave many letters. According to some rumors, the mountain king seemed to have remembered something when he was dying, but no one knows whether this news is true or false."
"I guess..."
Elder Budkrag, the Stone Shaper, hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"The full name of your mountain king should be Modimus Anvilmar, right?"
"Um!!!"
This question made Brian's eyes widen. He had never told the earth spirits the name of the Mountain King. Do these earth spirits recognize the Mountain King?
And this secret was revealed in the next moment.
"In the language of the earth spirits, the meaning of 'Anvilmar'...is 'heart of stone'."
Elder Budkrag, the Shaper, said in a voice as low as rock:
"And the name of the earth spirit king is "Urel Stoneheart". Yes, I have met your mountain king Modimus Anvilmar, before he was stained with the curse of flesh and blood...
Right here! I saw him on the Snowflow Plains. At that time, he was a young and vigorous earth spirit. He was a direct descendant of Urel Stoneheart, the king of earth spirits who was killed by Loken. He swore to fight for
His ancestors took revenge, and then left with Lord Tyr while waiting for the earth spirits who were willing to follow him."
"It is not because of his heroic deeds that the dwarves who have awakened from the curse of flesh are willing to obey Modimus...Bronzan!"
Elder Stoneshaper said to Brian:
"That's because Modimus himself is their king... But relying on this legend alone is not enough for me to trust you!"
Elder Budkrag's body was shaped by rock, and his character was as stubborn as a real rock. He looked at Brian:
"I remember that when Modimus left, he took away a fragment of the holy hammer Valanel left by Urel Stoneheart. It is the symbol of the kingship of the earth spirit civilization... If you call yourself Modimus
Descendants of Mus, then take out that fragment! Otherwise, we still won’t believe you! Bronzan, you have to understand my difficulty. The earth spirit clan has withered to this place. If you want us to put down all our hopes
, If we fight this battle with you, you must first gain our trust!"
"Fragments?"
Brian took off his cowboy hat, scratched his hair, and said to Elder Budkrag:
"There is indeed a fragment, but it is not with me. It is with my brother Muradin Bronzebeard. If you don't mind, you need to go to the front line with me. He is now the commander of the Snow Stream Plains War...
Oh, by the way, the Bronzebeard surname is also one of the three purest blood inheritances of Anvilmar, the King of the Mountain. The other two are the Wildhammer surname and the Thaurissan surname."
"I don't care about that!"
The Stone Shaper said somewhat unkindly to Brian, who was trying to have a relationship:
"We are earth spirits, and there is no such thing as blood in our bodies... so the glory of your last name is meaningless to us. Now, take me to see the fragment, if it is really there...
.Then you are the true brothers of Tu Ling!"
————————————————————————————
Ten minutes later, under the bombardment of the front base, in the constantly shaking ground, Muradin took off his helmet, revealing his completely diamond face. Muradin took off the necklace he was carrying.
The orange fragment was handed to Elder Budkrag, the stone shaper in front of him.
When the Stone Shaper took over the fragment, he first looked at the diamond-turned Muradin. The king of the hill did not want others to know the changes in his body, so he always wore a full body mask during the battle.
A helmet, this diamond body doesn't need to breathe anyway, and now, under the gaze of the Stone Shaper, Muradin felt a strange feeling of blood connection.
"Do you know?"
The Elder Stone Shaper placed the fragment of the Holy Hammer in his hand and said slowly:
"The king of earth spirits back then, Urel Stone Heart, actually had a diamond body very similar to yours. However, the birth of your body was an accident, and Urel could completely control the power given by this body.
...You are not a warrior, Bronzan's brother, you should not be a warrior, do you understand? You have a heavier responsibility on your shoulders..."
"But that is a matter for the future!"
After saying that, in the hands of Elder Budkrag, the orange fragment floated strangely. Under the gaze of Brian and Muradin, the elder slammed the Stone Shaper's war hammer on the ground.
The sturdy war hammer immediately fell into pieces. Among the fragments, he picked up a smaller fragment that was exactly the same as the orange fragment, and then placed it next to the large fragment.
The next moment, the two fragments strangely melted slowly under the control of some kind of force, and then became a larger fragment.
"Very well, Valanaar, the Hammer of the Legend Shaper... I thought I would never see it again in my lifetime, but now, you have brought hope to the earth spirits..."
The elder Stone Shaper carefully handed the fragment in his hand to Muradin. He looked at the diamond dwarf in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"Then, the earth spirit is your ally, brothers who have never met before, but we join the war for a hope, and you must complete it!"
"Muradin! You must collect all the Holy Hammer fragments in Ulduar and recast the Legendary Hammer! Only when the Legendary Hammer returns to the hands of the earth spirits will our civilization be revived again. By that time, we will
I respect you as king!"
"And at that time, the heavy mission you shoulder, belonging to the King of Earth Spirits, will also be revealed in front of you, believe me..."
"That is a mission ten thousand times greater than being a warrior!"
"You will become the...spokesperson of this world!"
