Malorne
Also known as: the White Stag, the Waywatcher, Apa'ro (term specific
to tauren)
Malorne was a forest demigod who always took the form of a huge
white stag, despite the powerful nature magic he wielded. He and the
moon goddess Elune were the parents of the demigod Cenarius. The
tauren have a myth that purportedly relates the story of Cenarius'
conception.
Because Ysera the Dreamer agreed to act as Cenarius' foster mother,
she has often been mistaken for the demigod's true mother. As a
result, there are also rumors that she and Malorne had a romantic
relationship. However, such rumors are baseless, though Ysera had a
deep affection and respect for the demigod. He was one of nature's
mightiest champions and a frequent visitor to the Emerald Dream.
Powers of the Wild
Indeed, Malorne possessed a strong link to the Dream that was
similar to that of a green dragon. He, too, had dreamsight, and so
simultaneously perceived both the Dream and the current state of
Azeroth.
Malorne also possessed healing powers, along with a calming aura
that sometimes stopped battles before they began. Furthermore, he
was one of the first living beings in the world. By the time of his
death, he had become one of Azeroth's most beloved and powerful
demigods, and he was renowned for his wisdom.
Rumor has it that a group known as the Druids of the Antler once
existed: a collection of people who sought to emulate Malorne and
recreate his powers on Azeroth. If druids as a whole are wary of
detection, though, this small subgroup, if it exists, has proven
even more elusive. No solid evidence of these particular druids has
ever been found.
A Valiant End
Yet memory is fickle, even for the night elves, some of whom
witnessed Malorne's heroic death. In the ensuing millennia, most of
Azeroth's denizens have forgotten Malorne. Almost all of those who
do remember the tale are druids.
During the War of the Ancients, Cenarius appealed to Malorne and the
other demigods of Azeroth to join the battle against the Burning
Legion. After much debate, Cenarius persuaded them to unite under
the command of Captain Jarod Shadowsong, who was leading a large
army of night elves and other creatures against the Legion. When
Cenarius was badly wounded in battle, Malorne charged at the
attacking demons and held them back while the night elves dragged
his unconscious son to safety.
Irritated at losing his chosen prey, Archimonde emerged from the
demonic host and challenged Malorne to single combat. The other
demons cheered Archimonde on, and the White Stag stubbornly fought
with all his might. Even so, ultimately Archimonde snapped the
heroic demigod's neck... |
