Garona

[twisted orc]

She was half orc and half what? I really don't think she was half human.

[Fiendz0r]

who's garona?

[socal]

who's garona? :y-mm: . She was the assasin of Medivh. She is half orc/half Draenei.

Taken from www.lunarfalls.com:
During the orcish occupation of Draenor, many Draenei were ***** by the orcish soldiers, and Garona was the product of one such coupling. At the end of the war, Garona and those like her were all that remained of the Draenei. Having travelled well in all of Draenor, Garona was well-versed in the culture of both the Draenei and orcs, making her an invaluable asset to the Shadow Council, and she was inducted into the warlock-controlled Stormreaver Clan. She quickly became the Chief Interpreter of the Shadow Council, and Gul'dan's personal spy and assassin. Due to her mixed blood, however, she was eternally an outcast, and had to rely upon her wits to keep her alive in the harsh world. Upon arriving in Azeroth, Garona's experience lent a great deal to her insight with their newest foe - the humans.

She was part of a war party which attacked Medivh, and the Magus killed all of them, accept her. Garona was sent back to Gul'dan with a message for him, and the warlock returned her to Medivh, to act as a spy on the orc's behalf.

She acted as an emissary of the Horde to him, and assisted the mage in understanding the orcs. It was in Karazhan that she met Khadgar, Medivh's apprentice sent to spy on him from Dalaran. Khadgar was, at first, furious at her presence, but the Magus demanded Khadgar's respect. Over time, a begrudging trust was forged between the two. Garona and Khadgar continually rebuked the other's race, and defended their own from assault. They learned from each other, and soon began to suspect that Medivh was keeping secrets from both of them.

Together, they eventually discovered that Medivh was, in fact, the man who had brought the orcs into Azeroth, and uncovered his plans of murder and deceit, and that he was truly Sargeras, the fallen Titan.

They fled to Stormwind, where Garona met Llane and Lothar, who accepted her despite her orcish heritage. They then gathered a small war party and raided Karazhan. After searching about the tower, they found Medivh, who unleashed all the powers of Tirisfal and Sargeras combined against them. When Garona tried to attack him, he sent a numbing psionic blast into her mind. In the ensuing battle, she disappeared as Medivh was killed.

In the months that followed, Garona became a trusted confidante to King Llane. She reported to him the inner workings of the Horde and how he could use it to his advantage. But, she was still ultimately working for the Stormreaver, and was sent on a mission to kill Llane. With a heavy heart, she carved out his. But Gul'dan was in a coma after Medivh's death.

Immediately, Doomhammer used the situation to his advantage, killing Blackhand. His spies found Garona, and tortured her, almost to death, until she finally revealed the secret location of Shadow Council. The Council was destroyed, and the Warlocks slain.

Garona's fate hereafter is uncertain.

She was the assasin of Medivh. She is half orc/half Draenei.

That is yet to be proven; regardless of what Lunar Falls says. Nothing in her features resembles a Draenei anyways. And for those who say Garona is too young to be of human parentage, keep two things in mind. First; in Lord of the Clans Thrall grew to full height at the age of six. Second, there were five years between the opening of the dark portal and the death of Medivh. Garona could simply be a large and very intelligent child. The first person who brings up that cover girl image of her gets shot, and the second who does so gets beaten to death with the body of the first person.

[twisted orc]

oh thx, but garona didn't killed king Llane? And what about medivh, he wasn't murdered by Lord Lothar?
"Lord Anduin Lothar realizes Medivh's betrayal. He sends a small band of gryphon-mounted warriors to medivh's tower and confronts the wizard.
Lothar slays Medivh's body and destroys the spirit of Sargeras. Medivh's spirit escapes, homever" "'Lands Of Conflict"'

And, yeah, the chronology of blizzard sux. think about the age of Grom!

[Kingcrazygenius]

Yes she killed King Llane. And Lothar killed Medivh. What the hell are you talking about?

[twisted orc]

Socal said she was the assasin of Medivh.

[quetzalcoatl5]

His personal assassin (well more Gul'dan's but whatever), as in she served him. She didnt kill him.

[Nephalim]

That is yet to be proven; regardless of what Lunar Falls says.Too true. We had to go with something and all we know according to available sources is that she isn't human. While this hardly makes it concrete it's the only logical assumption we can presently make.

According to the original timeline, Garona could've been sixteen at the time of Llane's murder. However, we now know that Garona was born on Draenor, NOT Azeroth.

[Kingcrazygenius]

The only logical explanation I can think of involving Garona having draeinei parentage is that Draenei women look nothing like their men. Or her mom was a very sexy ogre.

Or time travel. But that would suck.

[WarDragon]

I just now learned something very interesting about Garona over at the WarCraftRPG.com forums. Apparently she was a D&D character of Metzen's long before WarCraf was created, and he just couldn't resist bringing her into the new setting.

[Nephalim]

Really? I had though Metzen's involvement with Warcraft 1 was rather minimal.

King - There's also the fact that we have yet to see Garona since the new timeline was implemented. Her cover girl pic isn't really reliable anymore, and she disappeared from World of Warcraft, making THAT appearance subject to scrutiny, as well.

[Kingcrazygenius]

Maybe Garona was the extent of his involvement.

Boy, if I only had a chance to bring a character into the Warcraft world...

[TheNewHorde]

I would bring KCG in to the warcraft world. HE would be as evil as Kil'jaeden, as sinister as Tichondrius, as wicked minded as Illidan, and as brutal as Mannorath. And I'll be his hench man, the Fel Guard lord, TNH (triple nuclear heads) and when he is mad, he kills me. But I have reincarnation, so me and him are best buddies.

[Kingcrazygenius]

Touching, but I don't usually use henchmen.

[TheNewHorde]

B..b...bu...but... But KCG! I love you! I want to serve you! I want to cut off your balls and eat it for my worthy use of henchmen dark powers! (well, maybe not that far, but I just wanna be ur follower. ^_^)

[Kingcrazygenius]

If this is the case there are a few things you must do. First, you will never again speak of loving me or wishing to serve me or anything. I don't need people advertising me. Second and possibly most importantly, you will never again mention my genitals under any circumstances. Third and finally, you will make derogratory threads about those I despise and generally do not wish to tolorate. If you have to ask who they are then you are not worthy to serve me.

And change your avatar to that of a Mur'gul.

[TheNewHorde]

Umm... where do I find a Mur'gul Icon with a 28k connection?

Actually, the person who posted that was joking.

[WarDragon]

Actually, the person who posted that was joking.
... damn him. Apologies, all.

[Kingcrazygenius]

... damn him. Apologies, all.

I'm afraid an apology won't suffice this time Da'anastrasz. You must pay tribute of retribution. One wing and one leg. If the Dragonqueen finds you worthy they will grow back soon enough.

[WarDragon]

*drops dead Black Dragon at KCG's feet*

...What? You never said they had to be my wing and leg.

[Kingcrazygenius]

Clever...

*grabs the dragon carcass and vanishes with it in a green glow*

But you won't always be so clever...

[Nephalim]

He didn't even say it had to be a dragon.

[Kingcrazygenius]

You are all far too literal.
