"We have a place to go after we die."
Jiang Jie said, "When the Vrykul die, they either go to Halls of Valor or to the Helheim. When the Night Elf die, they become spirits and continue to exist. When the strong among the Troll die, they become ancestral spirits, and the Tauren the same. As for us, if we don't become vengeful ghosts after death, we will go to the Shadowlands... Master Modera, you should have heard of this term, right?"
Shadowlands?
This is a very unfamiliar term; even Jaina had never heard of it.
Modera, a woman of great learning, nodded and said, " The Shadowlands, a world parallel to the real world, is the place where souls are reborn. But I only know that it exists; I don't know what it's like inside."
"Yes, you don't know, and neither do we. That's why we cherish the world of the living, because we fear the unknown."
Jiang Jie sighed, "It's precisely because we don't want to die that we invented various methods of resurrection. For those who have just died, powerful Holy Light can heal their bodies and reintroduce their souls. Druid also have methods of reincarnation, as do Shaman, and mages have created spells to prolong life; Lady Aegwynn is one of the best among them. There are also some rare examples of resurrection... Uther, have you ever heard of Spirit Healer?"
Spirit Healer?
This was yet another unfamiliar term. Uther shook his head, while Modera nodded and said, "The mages of Dalaran have studied several cases where the resurrected claimed to have seen an angel-like creature who told them they shouldn't die yet, returned their souls to their bodies, and even healed their wounds! They call her the ' Spirit Healer.'"
" The Spirit Healer are actually Val'kyr who linger in the mortal realm... Yes, those guys under Arthas. Arthas mastered the method of converting Val'kyr, but the Val'kyr he created were far inferior to the real Val'kyr. There aren't many Val'kyr who truly linger in the mortal realm; there are only a handful."
Jiang Jie said, "Look at all the ways we've tried to achieve immortality and eternal life, to fight the fear of death... But now there's an even simpler way: to become Undead, to become the Forsaken. Isn't that better?"
This is an immense temptation.
Everyone can imagine:
There will definitely be more and more people who, when faced with the threat of death, would rather become Undead than die and be done with it.
It's human nature to be afraid of death and cling to life.
Who can stop it?
"If everyone wanted to become Undead, the world of the living would cease to exist."
Uther suddenly said, "In that time, the number of living beings will decrease until they disappear!"
"No, Uther, most people wouldn't choose to become Undead given the choice, because it means too much sacrifice."
Jiang Jie said, " The Undead have no sense of smell, no sense of taste, cannot appreciate the deliciousness of food, cannot feel the warmth of a lover, and cannot even engage in intimate acts. Who would want to become a dead person? Only death, only facing death, only when life is about to end, would make one willing to become Undead. Therefore, your worries are unfounded. We all cherish life. Even growing old is better than becoming Undead!"
"But who can guarantee that the Undead won't invade the world of the living?"
Admiral Daelin shook his head and said, " The Undead have no sense of smell or taste. They will surely envy the living, even be jealous or hate them! Then, they will definitely invade the world of the living and destroy what they don't have!"
"Not the Undead, but the Forsaken."
Jiang Jie said calmly, "Since they are the Forsaken, they should Forsaken. My idea is that after defeating the Scourge, the Forsaken will be responsible for eliminating all the Undead have lost their minds and souls, and building Icecrown Glacier into the Forsaken's kingdom. They will not be allowed to leave Icecrown Glacier... If that's not enough, Crystalsong Forest and Wintergrasp can also be given to them. In short, they will be bound and not allowed to set foot in the world of the living. Then, death messengers will be sent to roam the world of the living, guiding those who are willing to become Undead to the Kingdom of the Forsaken."
"To prolong life in another form." "Grand Duke, you're being delusional."
Modera shook her head and said, "Who can guarantee that all the Undead won't step into the world of the living? Even if Dalaran and Silvermoon City join forces, they can't create a barrier that covers the entire Icecrown Glacier!"
"I can guarantee that, because we have it."
Jiang Jie took out the Lich King Armor and chuckled, "Whoever wears it will control all the Undead in Azeroth and become the King of the Forsaken! If this king harbors any wicked intentions, I'll eliminate him and replace him!"
The Alliance nations would not allow a kingdom belonging solely to one person to exist, especially not Kingdom of the Forsaken with limitless potential, a kingdom of only one race.
Even if this person is the currently popular Grand Duke of Stromgarde, it won't work.
The Forsaken must exist, because the Scourge is very difficult to completely eradicate.
There are over a million Undead in the world, and the number is still increasing. There are also countless Undead and spirit mediums hiding all over the world.
Even if the Northrend Expedition were overwhelmingly powerful and truly wiped out all the Undead in Icecrown Glacier, could they also destroy all Undead -related magic, destroy the Helheim, Halls of Valor, and the Shadowlands?
Death is one of the constant modes of existence in this world. Death energy and life energy are both opposites and unified, and can never be completely eliminated.
Therefore, the method proposed by Jiang Jie is actually the best method:
If a person with Legendary spiritual power were to don this armor and become the Lich King, his spirit could reach every corner of the world, and the birth of any Undead would not escape his perception.
He will become the true "King of the Forsaken," establishing an eternal kingdom.
Anyone want to study Necromancy?
Yes, you can go to the Kingdom of the Forsaken, but you must abide by the Lich King's rules.
So what if the Lich King has ambitions?
Someone needs to be able to restrain the Lich King.
Jiang Jie is capable, but who dares to place their hopes on him?
In that case, wouldn't Jiang Jie become the true Lich King?
Fortunately, Jiang Jie is not the only one in this world with this ability.
If Aegwynn can recover some of her strength, then she can too.
If Uther successfully enters the realm of Demigod, so can he.
The five Dragon Aspect and the various Titan Keepers are obviously also an option.
But that's not enough.
Therefore, the Lich King's power must be weakened, and it must be sufficiently limited.
The leaders quickly reached a simple agreement:
The Lich King Armor must never be entrusted to someone with sufficient spiritual power, not even Faol or Meryl. The new Lich King needs to have a certain level of strength, but his own strength must not be too great. This is to ensure that if he develops ambitions, someone can eliminate him at any time and replace him with a Lich King.
Faol, Meryl, and other powerful Forsaken are like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the Lich King's head, preventing Lich King from acting recklessly.
In addition, the Lich King must be rotated frequently, for example, every ten or twenty years, to ensure that the Lich King does not become too powerful due to long-term rule and eventually become uncontrollable.
Furthermore, each nation and major power must dispatch elite forces to Kingdom of the Forsaken Kingdom of the Forsaken monitor its operations and report back to the leaders at any time.
These three regulations, these three regulations that restrain the Lich King, are the premise for the existence of the Kingdom of the Forsaken.
Based on these three regulations, a new camp finally emerged.
