Aridblade Clan

**Chief Blademaster**
 **Elder Shaman**
 **Primary Village**
 **Status**

The **Aridblade Clan** are a group of Orcs hailing from the Outlands. Hailing from Nagrand, Clan Aridblade was among several Orc Clans who drank the blood of demons. Not aligning themselves with the Illidari, the Clan fought for the Legion before Reza Aridblade, a relatively untested and young warrior, shoved off the yolk of their demon master. However, the addiction to Fel has corrupted the Clan to such an extent that they began losing themselves to the Fel Rage. Desperate for a cure, they aligned themselves briefly to Zevelion's Scourge with promises of a cure to the Fel Rage -- trading one master for another.

Thanks for the efforts of the South Sea Exchange Trading Company and specifically, **Gruk Gigglerib**, the Aridblades forsook Zevelion and sought a different path -- one of strength, honor, and self-sacrifice within the deserts of Tanaris. There, they began the painful process of Fel withdrawal... and eventually undertook a dangerous ritual that would see them forever cured like their other Azerothian Orcish kin.

It is noted that the Aridblades favor the path of the Blademaster and Warg rider, leading some to speculate that their foundations are built upon the Warsong and Burning Blade Clans.

Currently, they have settled in the deserts of Tanaris to continue their treatment of the Fel Rage and rebuild their identity as a Clan. They have begun to bring some order to the reaches of southern Tanaris, giving the Goblins of Gadgetzan a level of peace that was once a lawless desert.

# History

## Service to the Legion

A small Clan, they drank the blood of Mannoroth and became slaves to the Legion on Draenor. After being abandoned on Draenor, they continued to serve the Legion through Magtheridon and resisted the Illidari, even after the fall of the Black Citadel. At some point within the last few years, the young and untested warrior Reza Aridblade led the Clan in a revolt against its demon masters, using the self-same Fel Rage that once bound them into their service to defeat them.

However, they soon found themselves in a difficult period of adjustment after their overthrow, still yet slaves to the torment of the Fel. Their only solace were nearby **red crystals** which seemed to keep the Fel Rage in check, though they still continued to suffer from their addiction.

## Service to Zevelion

Desperate for a cure, they were contacted by Zevelion Darkheart who promised them a cure on the condition that they would aid him in destroying his enemies.

However, Reza did not trust trading one master for another and when the South Sea Exchange Trading Company came to Nagrand to try to remove a potential weapon from Zevelion's hand, Reza needed to be convinced that Zevelion was acting in bad faith. Due in part to the efforts Lady **Alisannia Silvara**, they discovered that the red crystals were keeping them addicted to the Fel and maintaining their Fel Rage... and that they were planted there by agents of Zevelion.

Recognizing they had been played, they vowed to gain vengeance upon Zevelion. In an act of supreme mercy and compassion, **Gruk Gigglerib** offered the Clan refuge and asylum to recover from the worst of their withdrawal at his home on Howler's Beach in southern Tanaris.

## Breaking the Rage

With Gruk Gigglerib's offer to house them at his peon encampment in southern Tanaris, the Aridblades came to Azeroth like their kindred before them. They continued to struggle against the Fel Rage, but were determined to maintain such a struggle until they finally were able to break it.

Eventually, there was a light at the end of the tunnel -- a dangerous, risky ritual that would draw the Fel from their bodies like poison from a wound. Death from the traumatic ritual remained high and it required a long period of enduring extreme pain physical pain which any warrior, Orc or no, would hesitate at undertaking.

With resolve in her heart Reza Aridblade once again held her head high and was the first among her Clan to undertake the ritual. With the protection of the South Sea Exchange Trading Company, the ritual was performed and the Fel was drawn from her... and she lived to tell the tale.

The Clan has since been undertaking the ritual en masse, a few undergoing the ritual and then being taken care of afterwards in their weakened state. A few have died... but it is a price they pay for hope. For once in at least two generations... the Aridblades look forward to a brighter, fel-less future.

To recognize the consistent bravery and strength of their leader, the Gruk and the Aridblades named the settlement on Howler's Beach Rezadar. The Clan is now under the protection of the Zandalari Empire.
