Captain Fareeya: The Lightforged have long stood as a beacon of hope against the Legion. But few truly know what it takes to become the embodiment of Light’s wrath. These few champions among the Army of the Light are ready to undergo their final trial. Will you do us the honor of bearing witness?

QUEST OBJECTIVES

Bear witness to the ritual of the Lightforged.

Forge of Aeons

 

CUTSCENE

Captain Fareeya: My fellow soldiers, the trials you have endured are proof that the Light shines bright within your hearts. One final test remains– and it is the most daunting of all. It will force you to peer into the very core of what you are. Of what you believe yourself to be. Many worthy draenei have undergone this trial, only to return broken… or worse. Should you feel the slightest doubt, turn back now. It will be counted as wisdom, not cowardice. But if you are truly ready, step forward and embrace your fate. T’paartos… we have discussed this. Each initiate must be accompanied by a second. Where is yours?

 

T’paartos: T’paartos needs no one to aid him!

Captain Fareeya: The last initiate who attempted the trial alone came back in pieces. Choose a second, or head back to the barracks.

T’paartos: So be it! T’paartos shall bring… this puny one!

 

Captain Fareeya: An unorthodox choice, but… technically within the rules. I have never known (Name) to back down from a challenge. Let the trial begin. Light be with you both.

T’paartos: T’paartos!

NOTE: Click the Lightforged Beacon in the middle of the room to start the Scenario.

 

SCENARIO

THE CAVE: The cave howls. The only way is forward.

NOTE: Walk toward T’paartos to start the scenario.

 

UNWELCOME REMINDER: The draenei house shimmers into existence. A figment of the imagination?

T’paartos: You should know something, friend (race). T’paartos did not choose (Name) because of your puniness. T’paartos saw (Name)’s heart on the field of battle. You are the bravest (class) T’paartos has ever seen.

Ancient Guide: Pain is the architect of memories.

T’paartos: T’paartos remembers a place like this…

 

EMPATHY: Echoes of the past, or a twist of emotion? There is no kindness here.

    Erlani: How’d a runt like you get so FAT, T’paartos?

    Raluun: Fatty probably doesn’t understand the question ’cause he’s so STUPID!

    Erlani: Aww, the fat runt is crying!

    Raluun: Hahahaha! What a BABY! Should we go after him?

    Erlani: Nah. Let tubby go play with his frogs.

Ancient Guide: There is no kindness here.

 

SORROW: The swamp stinks of malevolence and anguish.

T’paartos: Other children were… not always kind to T’paartos. Come. T’paartos thinks he knows what little T’paartos might do.

 

COMFORT: Even in the most hopeless situations, there is respite.

T’paartos: We have to fight!

Ancient Guide: Anguish and hurt… the search for solace.

 

T’paartos: T’paartos made friends with critters. Frogs, elekk, bugs… but not snakes. Never snakes!

 

THE SERPENT: Perhaps there is no relief?

Ancient Guide: Is there no comfort? No relief?

 

REFUGE: Perhaps retreating deeper is the only way to feel safe…

Ancient Guide: Retreat deeper… find safety… find comfort…

 

DELVING: A distraction, that what must be what is needed.

T’paartos: When T’paartos was scared, he found a place to hide.

Ancient Guide: Distraction provides escape.

T’paartos: T’paartos remembers a place like this one. A time he dug too deep.

NOTE: Click the pink crystal to continue.

 

FURIOUS: It is unfair! Nothing is ever what it seems!

Ancient Guide: Unfair! Unjust! Nothing is ever what it seems!

T’paartos: You cannot be real!

 

SHADOWS: Enemies in every shadow! How can the darkness be stopped?

Ancient Guide: Enemies lurk within every shadow. Can this darkness be stopped?

T’paartos: Was T’paartos meant to walk this path? Is T’paartos worthy to become Lightforged?

 

T’paartos: Time to fight!

T’paartos: You cannot be real!

Doubts and Fears conquered: 7/7

 

IN HIDING: Is the only way through this to remain hidden? Alone?

T’paartos: Hmm… There…

Ancient Guide: Is solitude the answer? No one can hurt you if you remain alone.

Cave found: 1/1

 

OUT OF SIGHT: This is a good place to hide. Safe. Secure. Away from everyone. Everything.

Ancient Guide: Safe. Secure. Away from everyone. Everything.

T’paartos: You cannot be real!

 

POSSIBILITIES: No. It won’t stop. They only way is to soldier on. To defeat the fear, the frustration.

Ancient Guide: Fear is relentless. Unyielding. A foe to be defeated.

 

Ancient Guide: Even amidst hopelessness, there is respite.

Follow T’paartos: 1/1

 

DARK OFFER: Is there an easier way? Perhaps power is all that is needed… Strength. To become that fear.

Ancient Guide: Perhaps to overcome fear of the darkness, one must embrace it.

T’paartos: This T’paartos is pledged to the Light, yet… treats with the darkness? This cannot be T’paartos’ fate!

T’paartos freed: 1/1

 

DESCENT: Impossible! Purity. Abstinence. It is an offer that cannot be accepted.

T’paartos: No! The darkness will not claim T’paartos!

Ancient Guide: An offer refuted… and yet the fear remains.

 

ASPECTS: Kindness and courage are not the only truths. What of fear? What of frustration?

Ancient Guide: Within one soul exist many truths. Some noble. Others…

T’paartos: Ahh, Ika. T’paartos raised this elekk when its mother was killed.

 

T’paartos: T’paartos has faced many such fiends in the Army of the Light.

 

T’paartos: T’paartos can lift mountains!

 

T’paartos: This is… slightly embarrassing for T’paartos.

 

T’paartos: Ugh! Can (Name) make the snakes go away?

 

T’paartos: No… this is not real. This cannot be the true T’paartos!

 

DEMISE: Is this where it all leads? To the very edge of obliteration?

Ancient Guide: Does the path lead to greatness? Glory? Or obliteration?

T’paartos the Fallen: Such power awaits us, T’paartos.

T’paartos the Fallen: The Light is not the way to true strength.

T’paartos the Fallen: Shrug off the chains the Light has used to bind you.

T’paartos the Fallen: Yes… give in, T’paartos. Embrace true power!

Forge of Aeons scenario completed: 1/1

 

T’paartos: The Light has always been with T’paartos! He will NEVER abandon the Light!

NOTE: Click the Lightforged Beacon to leave the scenario.

 

COMPLETION

Captain Fareeya: T’paartos is… enthusiastic. He means well, and he has a fire within him that few even among the Lightforged possess. Thank you for keeping him safe, (race).

 

High Exarch Turalyon: Welcome back, T’paartos. T’paartos… You confronted your fears… your failings… and have been reborn. We all have darkness inside us. It is no easy thing to face.

T’paartos: T’paartos realizes this now.

High Exarch Turalyon: This is an official ceremony. Do not interrupt.

T’paartos: T’paartos is sorry.

High Exarch Turalyon: From this day forth, you are Lightforged. Pheta thones gamera. Light guide our path!

T’paartos: T’paartos!

High Exarch Turalyon: T’paartos is a bit… unconventional. But he will serve our cause well. Champion it is time for us to return to Stormwind. Fareeya, spread the word. The Lightforged now fight for the Alliance.

Captain Fareeya: With pleasure, High Exarch.
