Queen Azshara had no idea that merely damaging the water wall would...
...actually get her branded as despicable and ugly by Herad!
Her damage to the water wall had seriously disrupted the obsidian mining.
The Tidestone had been operating steadily, opening up a vast water-free area.
Now, thanks to her interference, water was leaking into the water-free area everywhere.
Although the work of draining the water and repairing the breaches in the water wall never stopped.
The water-free area was gradually shrinking nonetheless.
The size of the area kept free of water depended entirely on the Tidestone's energy reserves.
There were large numbers of underwater volcanoes in the deep sea.
As a result, the distribution of obsidian was much like that in Un'Goro Crater.
Since most of the obsidian had melted into magma, it could not be mined normally.
Herad injected fire elemental power into the underwater volcanoes, greatly raising the magma's temperature and making it more active.
The boiling magma allowed the obsidian within it to be separated out effectively.
As the Tidestone's energy ran out, seawater covered the seabed again.
The underwater volcanoes were submerged as well, and the seawater cooled the magma.
Naturally, his obsidian collection was interrupted too.
It was like farmers harvesting their crops when a torrential downpour suddenly came pouring down.
No one could do anything about the heavens.
Even though humans had ways to induce rainfall, they could not stop vast masses of rain clouds from rolling in.
Truly defying the heavens was still beyond humanity's current technology.
But Herad did have a way to deal with Queen Azshara, the one ruining everything.
Since his great mining enterprise had been disrupted.
He might as well take a trip to her lair.
And blow up her palace and the like while he was at
