Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Before match

Thrall (present)
▶️With Taretha's aid, I managed to leave, although she paid dearly for helping me.
▶️Despite that, I reconnected with my people and discovered my true heritage. I learned I was the son of the late Durotan, leader of the Frostwolf Clan.
▶️His shaman, Drek'Thar, had survived the wars, and he began teaching me the ways of the elements.

Introduction

Drek'Thar
▶️Prepare to meet the spirits of the natural world.
Thrall
▶️I am ready.

Emote Response

Drek'Thar
▶️Look to the spirits, not to me.

Idle

Drek'Thar
▶️It requires patience to become a true shaman.
▶️The orc shaman are older than the warlocks. Our ways are the ways of the clans before the Horde.
▶️Sometimes the spirits will not answer your call, and you must be prepared for that.

Turn 1

Drek'Thar
▶️What would you ask of the Spirit of Earth?
Thrall
▶️I... do not know.
Drek'Thar
▶️Knowing is part of the test.

Turn 2

Thrall
▶️I ask for strength and power against my foes.

Spirit of Earth is destroyed

Drek'Thar
▶️It is granted.
Spirit of Air appears on the board
Drek'Thar
▶️What would you ask of the Spirit of Air?
Thrall
▶️Give swiftness and stamina to me and my allies. Ensure we never tire in battle!

Spirit of Air is destroyed

Drek'Thar
▶️It is done.
Spirit of Fire appears on the board
Drek'Thar
▶️What would you ask of the Spirit of Fire?
Thrall
▶️Burn through my enemies! Never let my courage fail!

Spirit of Fire is destroyed

Drek'Thar
▶️So be it.
Spirit of Water appears on the board
Drek'Thar
▶️What would you ask of the Spirit of Water?
Thrall
▶️To heal my wounds and replenish my strength.

Spirit of Water is destroyed

Drek'Thar
▶️Very well. One element remains...
Spirit of the Wilds appears on the board
Drek'Thar
▶️What would you ask of the greatest of all, the Spirit of the Wilds?
Thrall
▶️Preserve my connection to all living things - a power beyond words.

Death

Drek'Thar
▶️All of the Spirits will aid you.
Thrall
▶️I thought I would feel so mighty... but instead, I am humbled.
Drek'Thar
▶️That is what makes you worthy.

Defeat

Drek'Thar
▶️What a shame. I had thought you were doing so well.

Lore[edit | edit source]

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
Drek'Thar is the elder shaman and seer of the Frostwolf clan, and served as  Thrall's tutor many years ago. Drek'Thar had to prove his worth during the Horde's dark period, being one of the first shaman eager to learn the dark arts of warlock magic. He found the spirits of the elements to be close companions, so shamanism became his path to might. Despite his power over the elements, Drek'Thar always maintained his meekness and wisdom. He continues to shepherd the younger shaman of the Horde in the old traditions of his people. Currently Drek'Thar is the leader of the Frostwolf clan, and the General of the Frostwolf armies in Alterac Valley, as well as one of the few remaining orcs from the old Horde in the current faction.
After Thrall had found the chieftain and proving himself, Hellscream took Thrall under his wing, teaching him the Orcish tongue, and telling him that—based on the tattered swaddling cloth Thrall showed him — he was a part of the exiled Frostwolf clan. After spending some time with Hellscream, Thrall decided to take his leave of them for a while in order to search out his roots in the Alterac Mountains.
After trekking to exhaustion, Thrall was rescued by the Frostwolves and taken to their camp. There he met Drek'Thar, who told Thrall that he was the son of the chieftain of the Frostwolves. Once Thrall had found his place among the Frostwolves, Drek'Thar taught him the old ways of the Horde, before  Gul'dan's corruption, and soon Thrall was accepted as a member of the clan. A frost wolf named Snowsong eventually chose Thrall as her companion. It was some time after that choosing that he was called away by Drek'Thar, and came upon a quiet place where he had never been or seen before. Here he was to be initiated.
In one of the most spiritual experiences of his life, Thrall befriended the spirits of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and the Wilds. He became the first new shaman since Gul'dan's vile corruption of the Horde. He returned to the camp a new orc and became fully immersed in the old ways and ancient rites of the shaman and his clan, learning how to wield the fury of the storms and earth, and embracing his role as son of the chieftain. This was a significant and symbolic event since Thrall was the first shaman to be accepted by the spirits since Drek'Thar's time. Not only did this mean Thrall would be destined to be one of the greatest shaman in orcish history, but it also meant that the spirits finally forgave the orcish race for consorting with demonic powers, and deemed Thrall as the first of a brand new generation of shaman.
