They aren’t just instruments of swift death, they’re a reminder of a time in Garona’s life in which her self-control and free will were stripped from her. With all that said, it seems a little odd that Garona would suddenly be fine with the idea of anyone wielding those daggers again. She was forced to do it, and in the Warcraft comics it’s noted by Varian that Garona was crying while she was carrying out the task. She wasn’t exactly someone you could call a friend, but she was far closer with the king than with any other Human ally - possibly even including Medivh, who fathered her son. In the case of King Llane, he was the one human being who actually treated her with respect from the moment they were first introduced. When Garona carried out these acts, she was under the direct control of the Shadow Council, working against her will. First there’s the fact that description text clearly states Garona would rather they never be used again - which is understandable. Yet I find myself slightly confused by their inclusion here. Anguish and Sorrow were the blades of Garona Halforcen, the very blades she used to kill King Llane Wrynn during the First War. The weapons for Assassination Rogues are two of the most notorious daggers in the history of Rogue lore.
Afterwards, in anguish, she asked a trusted ally, Meryl Winterstorm, to help her hide the blades away in the hope that they’d never have to be used again.
She used them to carry out countless atrocities while under Gul’dan’s control, including the murder of Stormwind’s King Llane, whom she had befriended. The blades are said to drink blood and inflict traceless poison, leaving little sign of their grim work: the perfect tools for an assassin. The orc warlock Gul’dan had these daggers made for his personal assassin, Garona. Please note: This column covers content for World of Warcraft: Legion, and contains some spoilers from the alpha. Rogues are just…rogues, creatures of opportunity, masters of stealth who are not above a little petty thievery and murder, if the price is right.īut hey - it’s really hard to get by in the world, even by petty thievery and murder, if the world doesn’t exist - so I suppose that’s as good an excuse as any to take on the Burning Legion, right? Let’s take a look at Rogue Artifacts.
But while you can argue that Warlocks in the Alliance and Horde are working on mastering the dark magic of the Burning Legion in the hopes of using their own weapons against them, Rogues really don’t have that excuse. Rogues fall into a space similar to Warlocks in that the class itself isn’t exactly known for being altruistic. Rogue lore is a little…different in Legion, partially in regards to Rogue Artifact lore, and partially just due to the Rogue class itself.
