My Rebirth and the Strange Adventure of Black Zhen

Chapter 326: Jaina’s Past (Continued)

For a long time, the paladins were unable to gather together in the name of the Silver Hand. A small number of paladins insisted on holding secret gatherings in the name of the Silver Hand. After experiencing the ravages of the Scourge, the other paladins split into several camps, the larger ones of which were the Brotherhood of Light, the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade.

Among them, the Red Crusade is the most radical, bloodiest, most religious, and most capable of propaganda and brainwashing.

The Scarlet Crusaders, who kill any undead scourge they encounter, brutally and indiscriminately murder anyone they consider filthy.

Even if the opponents were the Forsaken who destroyed the Undead Scourge or the unarmed women and children who had just been infected by the plague, the mad Scarlet Crusaders would kill them with the slogan of purifying the world.

At this time, Tyran Fordring, the son of Grand Lord Tirion Fordring, also lost his faith, became disheartened, and became a puppet of the Scarlet Crusade.

The Eastern Plaguelands, this abandoned corner of the world, seems to be a forbidden zone for life, hope, reason, and emotion.

However, in this corner of the land that has been eroded by war and natural disasters, a "plain-looking" man stands alone in front of a simple hut, sending sincere greetings to the occasional passers-by - whether they are from the Horde or the Alliance. The ordinary appearance and humble conversation cannot hide the strangeness of the hermit. What kind of courage does it take to live alone in this Eastern Plagueland? And for what purpose? Finally, after several exchanges, the hermit slowly revealed his real name - Tirion Fordring.

Seeing the current fanatical state of the Scarlet Crusade makes the reclusive old Fordring worried. Highlord Tirion Fordring plans to ask the adventurers of the Horde and the Alliance to help him find some souvenirs from the past to awaken the will of his son Tyran Fordring as a paladin who has become a puppet of the Scarlet Crusade.

The first item was a toy warhammer that Fordring gave to Taelan when he was seven years old. This toy was his most cherished gift: it was a replica of Tirion's warhammer. When Fordring was banished for treason, Taelan's mother, Kalandra, told her son that his father was dead. He was taken to his father's "grave", next to the southern crypt, and the small warhammer and the memory of his father were buried there forever.

The second item was the Banner of Lost Glory. When Uther was killed, the Order of the Silver Hand fell apart. Taelan held on to the faith with all his might. When he was forced into the war-torn Northvale, he gave up his last stand. Was there anyone left in the Order? Was there any point? It was with these desperate thoughts that Taelan abandoned the banner of the Order of the Silver Hand and denied everything he had ever known. His honor was left in the blood-soaked soil of the Northvale.

The first two symbolize Taelan Fordring's childhood and the cruel reality he faced.

Taelan Fording, who abandoned his childhood and escaped from reality, still had a trace of humanity left, namely family affection.

Tailan has never forgotten any of his father's memories.

The final item is a painting. Highlord Tirion Fordring tells the player that when Taelan was a child, the family often vacationed in Caer Darrow. On the last trip there, an artist named Rifley painted a picture of the family strolling by the lake. This is the thing that most reminds Fordring of the good times he had with Taelan and Kalandra, and it fills his heart with infinite love.

Afterwards, Highlord Tirion Fordring asked the warrior to deliver these items along with his own letter to Tyran Fordring in Hearthglen Fortress. Tirion wrote to Tyran:

Dear Taylan,

When you grow up and are able to read this letter, I should have been away from you for a long time. I don't know how to express how painful it is to leave you and your mother, but I think life always forces people to make some difficult choices. I am afraid that you have heard a lot of bad rumors about me over the years... People regard my behavior as evil. I am afraid that my decision at the time will make people have a prejudice against you.

I don't want to defend myself here, I just want you to know what I did for honor. Honor is an important factor that makes us human, Taylan, our words and deeds must have more or less meaning to the world. I know it's not easy, but I hope you can understand one day. I want you to know that I have always loved you deeply and I have always thought of you in my heart. Your life, your words and deeds will be my salvation.

My child, you are my pride and hope. Be a good person and a hero. Goodbye.

The tragedy of the death of a beloved son and the death of a young person

When players placed the items that evoked memories in front of Tyran Fordring, Tyran Fordring couldn't help but shed tears. For so long, he had been a puppet controlled by Isenglin, the High Inquisitor of the Scarlet Crusade. What exactly made the Scarlet Crusade become what they were fighting against? For decades, Tyran Fordring has never lost a single bit of his memory of his father, High Lord Tirion Fordring. It is these precious memories that keep Tyran Fordring alive in this world! Tyran Fordring often dreams that his father is with him. Standing proudly beside him, watching his son join the Knights. They fought against groups of Scourge soldiers and brought glory to the Alliance and Lordaeron... Tyran Fordring, who had just woken up from a dream, no longer wanted to dream, and he asked the warriors to take him to his father, High Lord Tirion Fordring.

After Tyran Fordring's death, the young voice of that year still echoed in the ears of Highlord Tirion Fordring.

When Isenglen realized that Tyran had escaped his control, and that without Tyran, the de jure master of Hearthglen, his control over Hearthglen would be greatly weakened, Isenglen, whose mind had been completely corrupted, actually attacked Tyran and killed him. Although old Fording, who was eager to save his son, arrived immediately, he was already one step too late. Fording, who had lost his beloved son, fell into an outrage, and his Holy Light power that had been abolished because of the Eitrigg incident was completely restored. Driven by the fire of revenge, he killed Isenglen and his cronies, and vowed to bring a new order to Lordaeron!

Silver Crusade

Tirion Fordring, the great paladin who bears a heavy fate

After the death of his son Tyran, Tirion Fording decided to rebuild the Knights of the Silver Hand, and he began to gather the former members of the Silver Hand scattered all over the world. At this time, the Lich King Arthas realized the threat of Tirion Fording's existence to him (he regained the power of the Holy Light to save the orc Eitrigg and began to rebuild the Silver Hand).

Light's Hope Chapel is the base of the Argent Dawn's activities in the Eastern Plaguelands in World of Warcraft. There is a tomb underground, which contains the remains of heroes who sacrificed to defend Lordaeron. Many warriors died in the battle against the Scourge, and their remains were specially transferred and stored here to prevent them from being summoned and used by the Lich King.

In order to obtain the remains of the 3,000 holy knights under the chapel and transform them into undead forces, and to force Tirion Fordring to show up, the Lich King Arthas decided to attack Light's Hope Chapel. Arthas ordered the Death Knight Lord Darion Mograine to lead the Acherus Death Knights and the Scourge to attack the chapel guarded by the holy knights. Just as the Silver Dawn was in a difficult battle, the Lord Tirion Fordring led the rebuilt Knights of the Silver Hand to reinforce and defeat Darion Mograine. At the same time, the spirit of Alexandros Mograine, who was buried deep underground, also appeared, awakening the noble soul of his youngest son Darion and helping him break free from the shackles of the Lich King.

Fordring holding the purified Ashbringer, confronting the Lich King

At this time, the Lich King Arthas appeared and defeated Darion who had escaped from his control, and then tried to suppress Tirion Fordring with the power of darkness. In a critical moment, Darion threw the corrupted Ashbringer in his hand to Fordring. With the help of the clearing power of three thousand paladins under the chapel, Tirion used the power of the Holy Light to purify it, and the legendary weapon Ashbringer was recast. Tirion Fordring also became the second holder of Ashbringer after Alexandros Mograine. Then Tirion waved the Ashbringer to repel the Lich King Arthas, and the Scourge that invaded the chapel was eventually annihilated. Tirion Fordring announced that he would merge the rebuilt Silver Hand and the Silver Dawn into one to form the Silver Crusade, and was determined to go to Northrend in the north to fight against the Lich King, vowing to defeat him completely. Tirion Fordring became the supreme commander of the Silver Crusade. The oath of Highlord Tirion Fordring:

"Today, we have witnessed this terrible tragedy together. This holy land has been stained with the blood of righteous men! Noble knights gave their lives to protect them and us! This tragedy will never be forgotten, but at this moment, we must not be sad or discouraged! The Lich King must pay the price for his actions, and we can no longer allow him to do whatever he wants in this world! I promise everyone, brothers and sisters, the Lich King will eventually be defeated! Today, I propose unity, the Argent Dawn and the Knights of the Silver Hand will be combined into one! We will inherit the unfinished cause of our predecessors! We will launch a counterattack on Arthas, and we will eventually tear down the walls of Icecrown Glacier. The Silver Crusade will settle accounts with you, Arthas!"

Fall of the Lich King

Silver Front

In the World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King, Darion Mograine, who had escaped the control of Lich King Arthas, renamed the Death Knights who participated in the fight against the Scourge as the Knights of the Ebon Blade. Under the command of Tirion Fordring, the Ebon Blade and the Silver Crusade served as the backbone to fight against the Lich King's forces in various parts of Northrend. In Dawn Outpost in the south of Dragonblight, in the Lighthold and Silver Frontier in Zul'Drak, in the Silver Front and Howling Fjord in the southernmost part of Icecrown, Tirion Fordring commanded the Silver Crusade to crush many evil plots and attacks of the Scourge, preparing for the final decisive battle.

Trial of the Crusaders

In order to improve the fighting power of the Silver Crusade and strengthen the unity and capabilities between the heroes of the Alliance and the Horde, Tirion Fordring led the Silver Crusade to organize an unprecedented Silver Tournament at the Silver Tournament Field in the northeast of Icecrown Glacier to make final preparations for defeating the Lich King.

"Welcome, warriors! You have heard the call of the Silver Crusade and responded bravely! Here and now, in the Crusaders' Arena, you will face the most powerful challenge. Those who can survive this selection will join the Northern Crusade and march into Icecrown Citadel together!"

Dark Cathedral

Afterwards, Tirion Fordring destroyed Arthas's heart in the Dark Cathedral of Icecrown Citadel, and was seriously injured in the battle. Thanks to Darion and the Knights of the Black Blade who came to rescue him in time, he was able to escape danger. After being convinced that Arthas's soul could no longer be redeemed by the Holy Light, Fordring was sure that the decisive battle of the Silver Crusade had arrived.

Launch a general assault on Icecrown Citadel

At the gate of Icecrown Citadel, a large number of silver warriors gathered under the leadership of Tirion Fordring and blew the horn of the general attack on the Lich King's lair! The decisive battle declaration of High Lord Tirion Fordring:

"This is our last position. Everything today will be passed down through the ages. Whether we are alive or dead, we are fighting for glory. We are fighting for freedom and the people! Remember, heroes, in this evil world Earth, fear is your greatest enemy. Courage will make your souls shine brighter than a thousand suns. Your enemies will collapse before you. The light of justice will destroy them completely! Now, we march to Icecrown Citadel!"

Tirion Fordring versus the Lich King

In the end, Tirion Fordring led the warriors of the Alliance and the Horde (players) and the Knights of the Ebon Blade to defeat the Lich King Arthas. At this time, the ghost of Terenas Menethil appeared and told Tirion that there must be a Lich King, otherwise the uncontrolled Scourge would sweep across the entire world of Azeroth. Tirion Fordring wanted to take on this heavy responsibility himself and become the new Lich King. However, Duke Bolvar Fordragon, who was devastated by the dragon fire, convinced him that he was the best person to bear this curse, and Fordring still had his own destiny and path to continue. At the strong request of his friends, Tirion Fordring put the helmet representing the will of the Lich King on the head of Bolvar, who sacrificed himself to save Azeroth.

After the war with the Lich King Arthas ended, Tirion Fordring led the Argent Crusade

Tirion Fordring Returns to Hearthglen

The warriors of the time returned home and returned to his long-lost home, Hearthglen. Here he continued to summon the Holy Light Warriors of the Silver Hand to purify the plague and expel the remaining Scourge in the Western Plaguelands and the Eastern Plaguelands. In the near future, there will be a more important mission waiting for Tirion Fordring to complete.
