Chapter 1441 The tragic growth history of Go Eun-am
Sarlayan is still unable to determine whether the name Gorn'am is the real name of the ancient god Draenor, or whether it is a name artificially given to it by the Gorrian Empire.
In any case, the ancient god Draenor finally has a relatively formal name to refer to.
Sarlayan once read through the historical documents preserved by the two factions of arakkoa.
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. Although these documents have many gaps and contradictions in some details, looking at the records from both parties, it is still possible to restore the entire process of the Apexis Empire from its rise to its decline.
After the orcs escaped from the enslavement of the ogres with the help of the elements, the Gorian Empire that once dominated Draenor fell into decline, leaving only a few independent city-states including Highmaul and Blade Tower Fortress.
Through the relatively complete historical stone tablets preserved by the Mag'har clan, Sarlayan understood most of the history from the time when the orcs were freed from slavery to the present.
Before Sharlayan obtained the historical records provided by the Ogrila clan, his understanding of the period from the decline of the Apexis Empire to the rise of the orcs was always blank.
With this period of history completed, Sarlayan finally pieced together a relatively complete development history of Draenor civilization.
The information I learned from the barrage before was correct. The establishment of the Goria Empire was inseparable from the help of the Apexis Crystal.
The ogres are the descendants of Grond, the creator of Aggramar. Their bloodline has considerable arcane talents, but they have never been able to be properly developed before.
Under the ulterior teachings of the arakkoa who were determined to revive the Apexis Empire, the first ogre to master arcane power showed great potential.
According to the historical records left by Ogrila, his name was Gog, and he once defeated an adult Gronn with one hand with his powerful arcane power.
Gog, known as the Gronn Killer, led the ogres who gradually developed arcane talents to overthrow the rule of the One-Eyed Demon. Later, they broke up with the arakkoa who had just met Tu Qiong and expelled all the arakkoa in the territory.
At this point, the ogre hero began to be called Gorgog, which means "King Gorg" in the ogre language.
With the support of a large number of ogres, Gog established a new and powerful empire-the Gorian Empire.
When reading this, Sarlayan corrected a misunderstanding.
Two-headed ogres are not the only ones with the ability to learn arcane magic.
Theoretically, all ogres have the opportunity to activate the Titan-Forged genes latent in their bloodline.
As we all know, Titan creations are creatures of order, and they are born with good arcane affinity.
The two-headed ogre was born after the Gorian Empire was established and arcane magic became popular among the ogres.
Due to long-term close contact with the primitive arcane power, the bloodline of the ogres has been affected to some extent, and a very small number of their descendants will have two heads at birth.
The mages of the Goria Empire were very curious about this special phenomenon. After some research, they first confirmed one thing.
The two-headed ogre is far superior to ordinary ogres in terms of arcane affinity and intelligence. It has extremely strong arcane talent since birth and is a natural caster.
Therefore, the two-headed kin gradually began to be regarded as a good omen by the ogres.
As time goes by, the Gorian Empire, whose arcane civilization becomes more and more developed, can even artificially create two-headed ogres.
Except for the first king Gog, every subsequent generation of Gorian head of state was without exception a two-headed ogre.
After the destruction of Highmaul, the last magical city-state of the Gorian Empire, the two-headed ogres were mercilessly slaughtered by the old tribe.
Without the extremely intelligent two-headed ogre leader, the ogre tribe that had long been accustomed to this management model seemed to have returned to the primitive era overnight.
A large number of ogres were forcibly recruited by the old tribe, and they were driven to Azeroth to participate in the invasion, serving as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's vitality.
The Orgrila clan is one of the few survivors who escaped after the destruction of Highmaul.
When the Old Horde invaded the city, Mal'gok, the last leader of Highmaul, knew he would not survive.
In order to preserve the hope of the ogre clan rising again, he handed over a large number of books kept in Highmaul to the ogre mages of Orgrila to take away, and personally led the remaining two-headed ogres to fight until the last moment.
Thanks to Mal'gok's deathbed arrangements, Sarlayan was able to read the records of Gorn'am.
According to the historical documents left by the arakkoa and the ogres, it is inferred that Gorn'am first appeared before the establishment of the Apexis Empire, and it was the wind serpent demigod Setai who was bewitched by it to embrace the power of the void.
Goun'am should have first appeared around 5,000 years before the Black Gate.
Since Draenor is not nourished by the power of the Star Soul, Gorn'am's development speed cannot be compared with that of the Ancient God of Azeroth.
5,000 years ago, Goun'amu was not yet mature.
The time when it really became active was at the end of the Apexis Empire and the early days of the establishment of the Gallia Empire, that is, around 1200-1000 BC.
The Apexis arakkoa, which gradually fell into decline due to civil war, failed to record the detailed information related to Gorn'am, and the ogres who replaced them to dominate Draenor obtained the official naming rights of this ancient god.
"really……"
After reading all the records about the name Goun'am, Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully.
"The main area of activity of Goun'am is in the Arak Peak Generation... which is later known as the Arak Peak Forest."
Onyxia the lazy dog ignored it. While Sharlayan concentrated on reading the documents, Jaina was there to help him sort out the historical slates that recorded useful information. She also read a lot about Goun'am.
information.
At this time, Jaina rubbed her brows in confusion: "The Gorian Empire's observation record of Goun'am was only 600 years before the Black Gate, but the Gorian Empire was destroyed 400 years before the Black Gate."
"Why did Goun'am suddenly disappear in the past 200 years? This is not in line with the behavior of the ancient gods."
Onyxia, who was lying aside lazily basking in the sun, said casually: "Maybe Goun'am found out that she was being watched by the ogres, so she deliberately hid to avoid their sight."
"wrong."
After pondering for a moment, Sarlayan gave a guess: "Look carefully at the records from 600 to 500 before the Black Gate."
Jaina calmly lowered her head and checked again. Being so smart, she quickly discovered the clues.
"This period of time... coincides with the rise of the elements?"
"That's right."
Sarlayan analyzed with some thought: "The elements of Draenor were used by Aggramar to make Grond in ancient times, and they suffered a lot of losses as a result."
"In the tens of millions of years since then, the elements of Draenor have not condensed into entities. It was not until more than 500 years before the Black Gate that a large number of elemental entities began to be truly active in Draenor."
"The then head of state of the Goria Empire was very wary of this sudden rise of alien power."
"The conflict between the ogres and the elemental entities lasted for nearly 200 years. For a long time, the ogres completely enslaved the elements."
"The Goria Empire was finally overthrown by the orcs because of the wrath of the elements, but the orcs are just a carrier of the wrath of the elements."
"Elemental entity..."
Jaina touched her chin thoughtfully: "I probably understand that the reason why Goun'am suddenly became low-key is because water elemental and earth elemental entities began to expand wildly in the ocean and land of Draenor.
.”
"Gorn'am is far from as powerful as the Ancient God of Azeroth. In order to ensure that it can successfully complete the mission of eroding the planet assigned by the Lord of the Void, it chose to temporarily avoid its peak."
Sarlayan curled his lips sarcastically: "It wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but in the end it really turned itself into a pig."
"Starting from 400 years before the Black Gate, the orcs, who relied heavily on elemental power, gradually replaced the ogres and became the strongest force in Draenor."
"In order to avoid a direct conflict with the Throne of Elements, which was in full swing at the time, Goun'am, who was hiding under the peak of Arak, continued to hide his capabilities and bide his time, waiting for the day when the Throne of Elements would gradually decline."
"The good news is that it has indeed arrived. The arrogant Throne of the Elements has been completely shattered by the Shadow Council, which possesses the power of evil."
"Bad news, the entire Draenor is in a state of chronic death due to the erosion of evil energy. The ancient gods who coexist with the planet will naturally be greatly affected by this."
Onyxia shook her head dumbfounded: "Isn't this guy too meek? Why do he always encounter all kinds of bad luck? It's too cheap for an ancient god to treat him like this.
