Station no. 2: The angelic Bastion. Who can we meet in WoW Shadowlands?

Table of Contents

Now we enter Bastion, a speckless land full of angel-like winged figures. But be careful, because not everything here is as it seems. Recent problems with anima have significantly affected the residents of this corner of Shadowlands. Do you see those machines? They were designed by these friendly owls, but without energy, alas, they cannot function properly. Unfortunately, Bastion was reduced to a shadow of its former glory, which is also reflected in the souls that come here.

What's more, there has even been a split in the ranks of the Kyrians, who rule this land. Not everyone likes the strict rules and the obligation to get rid of the past in order to be purified. If you see dark wings, it's a sign that a Kyrian has switched sides and became one of the Forsworn.

Bastion has high requirements, so few souls get here and hardly any completes all the trials. One of the local residents is Warbrave Oro, who played an important role in the quest related to the drogbar in Legion. He was struck down by Dargrul, who wielded the Hammer of Khaz'goroth. May his soul rest in peace.

Obituary: Uther

Cause of death: Frostmourne (it was hungry)

Uther is a well-known character in the universe of Warcraft, who played a huge role in many events. Eventually he died at the hands of Arthas, who was possessed by the Frostmourne. As a result of being pierced by the cursed weapon, the soul of the paladin was split into two parts. One half was trapped in the sword, the other managed to escape to Bastion. This is why the Uther we meet in Shadowlands is not complete. He cannot forgive Arthas and is unable to come to terms with the past.

He joins the Forsworn, or rather creates them – it is the paladin's hatred that gives birth to the rift and eventual split among the Kyrians, who are beginning to doubt their principles. No fear, however, eventually Uther returns to the right path. Nevertheless, his actions will permanently affect the Kyrians, who will have to make some changes in their way of thinking.
