The meeting between the two great garrison officers and Nuri, the son of the prophet, did not cause much fluctuation in the political system of Sha'tar City.
The only difference was that when Maraad appeared in Sha'tar City Hall with the Mark of Draenei Leader on his forehead, the mood of the Draenei officials became very low.
The Seal of the Leader has special significance in the civilization of the Draenei. It will not be transferred casually. Now, the Seal of the Leader appears on the forehead of the Grand Defender, which means that he has been missing for 10 years.
Velen, the prophet of heaven, has really fallen.
This was sad news, and for the draenei officials, it was terrible news.
They must find a way to deliver this bad news to the people without causing social unrest and have the people accept it. Frankly speaking, in terms of Prophet Velen's status in the hearts of the draenei, this is almost impossible.
It's a completely impossible task.
But the deceased has passed away, and the people who are still alive must inherit the beliefs left by the great people and take this as their mission and direction.
So under the orders of Alda High Priest Ishana, who is currently temporarily managing the order of Shatar City, the city hall began to get busy. The first thing they had to do was to hold a ceremony for the prophet Velen who was confirmed to be dead.
During the funeral, a memorial ceremony was held for the Draenei soldiers who died heroically in the battle to defend Sha'tar City.
While the sad-looking officials were busy, the high priest Ishana, along with Maraad and Vihari, launched a discussion about Sha'tar City and the Draenei in his office.
Future closed meetings.
In the office of High Priest Ishana, the atmosphere was very bad. The three important figures who occupied leadership positions in the current Draenei society looked at me and I looked at you. No one was willing to break the silence.
Believers of the Holy Light long for a world full of beauty and peace, but the most rational ones know that this is simply impossible. They still have to face the cold reality. For example, right now, after the departure of Prophet Velen, even if
No matter how unwilling these three people are, they will start to deal with extremely sensitive political issues that have no pretense of warmth.
As we all know, politics is the dirtiest and darkest game, and it is incompatible with the beauty inspired by the Holy Light. However, the three people present are all Holy Light, or were once loyal believers of the Holy Light. This is very embarrassing.
.
"Well, let me tell you."
In the end, Vihari was the first to break the silence. The female defensive officer stood up helplessly and looked at the high priest Maraad and Ishana in front of her. These two people believed in the Holy Light, but they belonged to Delai
Two different factions in the Nigerian civilization.
Grand Vindicator Maraad is a loyal follower of Prophet Velen. Although he occasionally thinks that some of the prophet's decisions are too conservative, in general, he can understand the prophet's painstaking efforts and helplessness. During his lifetime, Prophet Velen also
He has been trying his best to cultivate Maraad. Before Vihari appeared, the prophet said more than once that after his death, Maraad would be his successor and the new leader of the Draenei.
But not all Draenei agree with the Prophet's philosophy. Although everyone respects him, those Draenei in the world of Draenor, the Shattered Sun Chapter in Shattrath City, and the Aldo organization
People are the radicals who do not agree with the Prophet. Well, at least compared to the moderates of the Prophet. Although these are small in number, they are all elites and extremely powerful Draenei spellcasters and paladins. Their ideas are radical.
.
High Priest Ishana is their leader. This priestess, who is almost as old as Velen, became completely disappointed with the Prophet's practices after the massacre of the Draenei by the orcs in Draenor.
She is willing to sacrifice everything for the draenei civilization, but she will not be soft on enemies who try to harm the draenei. The most important thing is that they will actively look for hostile targets and eliminate them in advance.
Although everyone is a believer in the Holy Light, the personal relationship between Maraad and Ishana is only average, probably because of their ideological issues.
As for Vihari, the identity of this female defender is somewhat unique. She has been "undercover" in the Burning Legion for more than 30 years. Although she later returned to the Draenei camp in Draenor, she lost the favor of the Holy Light.
, she is not a Paladin, but her protection of the Draenei in the world of Draenor in the past few years has given her a very good impression in the minds of the Draenei.
And because of the important information she brought back from the Burning Legion, the Legion of Light among the stars won a great victory, and at the same time she recovered the ancient holy relics lost by the draenei during their flight across the stars, so she was also
Velen gave him a heavy responsibility.
But Vihari did not intervene in the ideological conflict between Velen's faction and Ishana's Aldo faction. After Velen left, Vihari became the natural mediator and communicator among the "Big Three".
"The prophet has died. This is sad news. If we handle it improperly, this news will destroy the people's inner beliefs. The panic caused by the lack of leaders will also interrupt our good development momentum in Azeroth."
The demons will not give up their pursuit of us just because the prophet has left. Among the civilizations in the world of Azeroth, we must be the most vigilant."
Vihari looked at Maraad on the left and Ishana on the right. She coughed lightly:
"Well, I know, we don't like to talk about this issue, but now the question is on the table, after Viren leaves, how do we lead our people and most importantly, how do we manage our people
, with all due respect, the fall of the prophet may not be a bad thing.”
Maraad heard this and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the high priest Ishana. The leader of Aldor sighed, she motioned for Vihari to sit down, and then told the two high guards
The official said:
"I know what Ms. Vihari means. Warden Maraad, please calm down and think about it. The Draenei have been in Azeroth for more than ten years, and compared with other civilizations, we are really
Can we be called a complete civilization? Or, to put it more bluntly, can we really be considered a real country?"
"All affairs of the Draenei are decided through the Grand Garrison and several civil officials appointed by the prophet. We do not have a truly systematic government! There are no full-time civil and military officers, no diplomats, no agriculture and
Minister of Industrial Affairs, there are no MPs, there is no parliament, and even our army is just empty. I believe that Mr. Maraad, who has been commanding the army, knows better than me!"
High Priest Ishana took a sip of the cold tea. She looked at Maraad and emphasized her tone:
"Your Excellency Velen is an outstanding leader. It is precisely because of his strong charisma that he united our people in the escape of the stars. Indeed, when we are fleeing, a bloated system will drag us down, but in the
After settling down, the chaos of this political system will lead to many problems. Let me say something that I shouldn't say. Perhaps more than 30 years ago, our response was so chaotic when faced with the sudden massacre by the orcs, which is probably also related to our chaotic political system.
"
"Bang"
The high priest tapped his fingers on the table:
"We have already suffered a heavy price for this, and the only prophet who can conquer all people with his charisma has left. If we can't find a leader like the prophet, then whether we want it or not, this problem must be solved immediately
! This is a real major event related to the future of Draenei civilization! No matter how bad the political system is, it is much better than no system at all!"
The high priest's speech made Maraad's face darker, but Vihari showed an expression of approval. In another period of her career, she had witnessed the extremely mature military system of the Dark Blade Legion and its unique military structure.
After seeing the endless power that the system could unleash, Weihari had been imagining that if his people could also have such a military system, then they would never be in such a miserable situation when faced with the massacre by orcs.
inside.
At that time, the Draenei had also been developing in Draenor for more than 200 years. Their technological strength was countless times better than that of the nomadic orcs, but in the end they were beaten so badly by the brutal orcs. That was no longer the case.
The problem with the draenei's own will to fight is purely an institutional problem.
From this point of view, the prophet should not be entirely blamed for the miserable situation of the draenei people back then.
"Maybe we should follow the example of other civilizations in Azeroth"
Weihari rubbed his chin and said to the high priest Ishana:
"I think the federal system is very suitable. Their parliamentary system allowed the civilization that was originally protected by the Dark Blade to grow rapidly. In less than 20 years, after breaking away from the protection of the Dark Blade, they also had the opportunity to confront the empire head-on.
Strength, and if we also form a parliament, maybe we can divert the people's attention away from the tragedy of the prophet's death."
"As for the Parliament, we have a similar organization in the world of Argus. Such an organization can indeed discover many buried talents."
The mature and prudent Priest Ishana squinted her eyes, thinking about Vihari's suggestion, but in the end, she shook her head with some regret:
"But the success of the Federation cannot be copied by us. Firstly, the number of our people is too small. Secondly, it is difficult for us to copy their industrial model. Although I have only been in Azeroth for a short time, the Empire
There is no need to consider that. They themselves are still in the reform period. The theocratic society of the night elves is somewhat similar to our draenei's belief in the Holy Light, but they cannot be copied completely."
"Ah, this is so difficult. We almost have to create a set that suits us completely from scratch."
"What about the ruling body system?"
Before Ishana finished speaking, Maraad with a serious face interrupted her. The high defense officer said softly:
"Instead of learning from other civilizations, it is better to draw nutrients from the ancient inheritance of our Draenei people. We experienced that beautiful era in the world of Argus. In that era, the prophet Velen and the Archon Kil'jaeden jointly
The two-person consulship that I served has kept the world of Argus in order for thousands of years. Although some not-so-good things happened later, it had nothing to do with that system!"
“Several consuls commanded different systems of civilization, and assigned military, education, justice, and agriculture to different consuls. Then, from top to bottom, four levels of secondary consul positions were divided, which were interconnected, but
It does not interfere with the operation of other systems, such as the education system managed by Archon Kil'jaeden, the Arcane Academy and the Knights Academy on the Mac'Aree Plains. Every year, that system provides hundreds of thousands of resources to various industries in Argus.
Thousands of outstanding talents, that’s a very successful example.”
Maraad breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and said sadly:
"Maybe it's time for us to go back to our roots. The three of us, High Priest Ishana, Vihari Vindicator, and me, will form the Triumvirate of the Draenei in the new era and new world. In this world
Rebuilding the political system and even civilization of the Draenei. Yes, Priest Ishana, you are right, I am too addicted to emotions, I should think about this matter more rationally."
"I"
The Grand Defender covered his face with his hands to cover the tears in his eyes, and said:
"I can't let him down, I can't let the prophet down!"
The atmosphere became more relaxed. High Priest Ishana lowered her head and looked at the golden pendant held tightly in her hand. In the pendant was an image preserved by crystal magic. It was her graduation from the Academy of Holy Light in the Argus World.
The memorial includes her who was still immature, the prophet Velen in his prime, the Archon Kil'jaeden who has not yet fallen, and the dean of the Arcane Academy, the very famous mentor Archimonde at the time.
In twenty thousand years, things and people have changed.
"Bang bang"
The sound of knocking on the door made the three dignitaries in the meeting raise their heads. The high priest Ishana handed the tissue to Maraad, who wiped the tears on his face. Then the high priest said softly:
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a very young Holy Light Priest in a robe stood at the door. She looked at the three big figures in the room, and she nervously said to the high priest:
"Patriarch Ishana, the messenger of the Silver Dawn has sent news that the warriors of the Holy Light Legion who were transferred to them have just awakened, His Excellency the Archbishop of the Holy Light Legion Turalyon, and invites you to go to Stratholme District.
He said that he has something important to discuss with you."
"An important thing? But it is also a very important thing on our side."
Ishana glanced at the two defense officers beside her. She hesitated and asked:
"Did they reveal what it was?"
"Well, they said it was about the Temple of Light of the Void among the stars, and the sacred objects stored in that temple that belong to us Draenei people."
