Magatha Grimtotem's Train of Thought

"What are you doing here?" Magatha Grimtotem looked at the Undead before him, his black bull-like nose twitching slightly, clearly uncomfortable with the strong smell of death emanating from him.

"The Queen asked me to deliver a letter to you." The Undead, who had been human in life, had his face severely damaged after death and had to be covered with a wooden mask. After showing respect to Magatha Grimtotem, he took out a letter from his bosom and presented it to her.

"Anything else?" Magatha Grimtotem took the letter.

"That's all, I'll take my leave now," the Undead said, bowing his head.

"Give my regards to her, and may Earth Mother bless you." Magatha Grimtotem looked at the bowed Undead, his black eyes filled with a hint of pity.

"Thank you..." The Undead messenger bowed slightly, then calmly left the tent, leaving Magatha Grimtotem alone to open and read the letter:

Dear Lady Magatha Grimtotem, by the time you read this letter, you should already be aware that some within the Horde have proposed reforms. In my opinion, these reforms are unpopular because they violate traditions— Orcs traditions, Trolls traditions, and Shu'halo's traditions. I hope you can stand firmly with the Forsaken and resist these unpopular reforms.

"Tradition!" Magatha Grimtotem glanced at the signature at the end of the letter, "Sylvanas, leader of the Forsaken, lord of Undercity, Banshee Queen," a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She sympathized with and pitied the Forsaken, but she disliked that cold Banshee. What right did a leader who considered herself above the people have to talk about tradition?

"Tradition..." Magatha Grimtotem might have overlooked the idea of reform if she hadn't received Sylvanas's letter, but Sylvanas's letter made her suddenly think carefully about the idea of reform.

You don't know until you think about it, and once you startled yourself, Magatha Grimtotem carefully considered the relevant reform methods and couldn't help but feel a growing regret, regretting that his words rejecting the reform were too sensitive.

While the proposal did indeed disrupt the traditions of Shu'halo society, it was also an opportunity to reform it. Most importantly, the reform plan was enough to rewrite Shu'halo 'Shu'halo succession system. Once the succession system changed, he could legitimately replace Cairne Bloodhoof as the leader of Thunder Bluff, the leader of the Shu'halo United Tribes, and even the Warchief of the Horde.

As Magatha Grimtotem considered the potential benefits of reforming Shu'halo society, and then reflected on his earlier rejection of the reform, his regret intensified. However, no matter how much he regretted it, he had already expressed his stance and rejected the reform proposal, and besides, the reform proposal might not even bring him the benefits he had imagined.

To avoid aggravating his regret, Magatha Grimtotem began to distort the reforms in a negative light and to find reasons to justify his refusal. He reasoned that reforming society was a matter of great importance and should not be implemented without a hundredfold benefit. He believed that following tradition, even without any benefit, would not lead to any major mistakes.

While slowly finding reasons for himself, Magatha Grimtotem also harbored resentment towards the person who proposed the reform, namely that Zul'ra Jin from Amani. That Trolls was too annoying, daring to propose such a contrary-to-traditional idea. He couldn't be let off so easily; he should teach him a lesson.

The more Magasa thought about it, the more she hated Zul'ra for proposing the reforms, and her regret deepened. Magatha Grimtotem finally made a decision: she would publicly berate Sanra in front of everyone. At the same time, she also had some vague ideas, just vague ones. Perhaps she could use some changes to take back her previous thoughts, since she hadn't thought things through carefully before.

Magatha Grimtotem's thoughts became increasingly skewed, yet she also felt they were the right thing to do. So she turned to Cairne Bloodhoof and presented him with strong words. "I, Magatha Grimtotem, the Mother of the Grimtotem, am going to see the Warchief and ask him why he is destroying our traditions. I also want to ask that Zul'ra Jin why he made such a destructive suggestion."

Cairne Bloodhoof was naturally exasperated by Magatha Grimtotem's sudden erratic behavior and earnestly begged her to stop. However, Magatha Grimtotem, with her own agenda, refused to back down and forcefully pressured Cairne Bloodhoof to summon the chieftains and leaders of the Shu'halo tribes so that they could all travel to Orgrimmar.

At that time, Lor'themar and Sylvanas had not yet left Orgrimmar. Instead, they sent people with Zul'ra to return to the Eastern Kingdoms by airship to gather legal and economic talents to Kalimdor. The Horde's newly formed fleet also set off with Horde. The fleet's mission was to welcome the Amani'lai relatives of Kalimdor to the new continent and increase the population there.

Lor'themar and Sylvanas were in Orgrimmar because they had nowhere else to go, but the situation was different for Zul'ra. The first and second groups of Amani'lai who came here, as well as the Shadowfang Tribe of the Dark Trolls on Mount Hyjal, had already established settlements in the forests of Ashenvale and had built up good relations with the neighboring Kaldorei.

Originally, the inhabitants of Ashenvale were the Warsong Clan Orcs, but due to their indiscriminate logging and unwillingness to communicate normally with the Kaldorei, they were all reassigned to the Desolace Ashenvale Stonetalon Mountains after the battles in Felwood and Thrall's campaign to eliminate the demons of Ashenvale, so that they could expend their excess energy on the Satyrs and Centaur.

Because of the Amani's presence in Ashenvale, unlike Lor'themar and Sylvanas, Zul'ra didn't have to wait for things to happen. Instead, he went to Ashenvale first to visit Haimus and Bash, and inspected the lives of the Amani'lai, including the Shadowfang Tribe.

With the help of the Kaldorei, the Amani'lai living in Ashenvale are doing well. With the help of the Druid and the planning of Haimus, they have planted fruit and chestnut trees on the land that was once cleared by the Warsong Clan, and have also established a fungus farm in the shady woods.

The Amani'lai of Ashenvale not only fed themselves, but also used the flow of the Southfury River to export the forest's fruits, fungi, and other specialties to Orgrimmar, improving the local diet and exchanging them for sufficient meat, grains, ironware, and other necessities.

The revitalized Ashenvale even attracted some Kaldorei to settle there. Because Nordrassil was severely damaged, and because of Archdruid Fandral Staghelm's obstinacy, the druids, with the help of the ancient tree spirits of Darkshore, raised a desolate island and planted a new World Tree, Teldrassil, on it.

Despite High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind Whisperwind's strong disapproval of Fandral's Recklessness actions, she had to face the fact that, apart from the Cenarion Circle Druid and some Kaldorei, many Kaldorei had answered the call to migrate to their new home.

There was no more at night.
