Company of Heroes Tales of Valor- PROPHET

Velen, who is known and respected for his immense wisdom, compassion and magical prowess, rose as a leader of Argus alongside Kil'jaeden, forming the Second Duumvirate. Twenty-five thousand years ago, the world of Argus was shaped into a paradise by the eredar race who called it home. Younger Kil'jaeden, Velen and Archimonde. Following the defeat of Argus' corrupted world-soul and the containment of Sargeras, apparently ending the Legion and the Burning Crusade forever, Velen returned to Azeroth with his reunited people, offering his counsel to King Anduin Wrynn and the Alliance in the conflicts to come, and noting that perhaps it was time for each one of them to forge their own fate. After the deaths of both O'ros and Rakeesh, Velen declared that he was neither prophet nor pawn, and that the draenei were returning home to Argus. During the third invasion of the Burning Legion, Velen led the defense of the Exodar from a Legion attack led by his own son High General Rakeesh. He also managed with the aid of the Conclave to bring the void god Saraka the Lighteater back to the Light as the naaru Saa'ra.Īlthough the Legion's forces in Outland have been greatly diminished and the demonic invasion of Azeroth has been driven back, Velen remains fearful of an upcoming war between light and shadow. Most recently, Velen used the heart of the naaru M'uru to sanctify the blood elves' tainted Sunwell, transforming the sacred fount into a source of holy and arcane energies. The strengthened Alliance then helped the draenei reclaim their former holdings from the Legion.

He is first among the draenei and is the arch-nemesis (formerly best friend) of Kil'jaeden.įollowing the draenei's flight to Azeroth, they made a new home on the Azuremyst Isles and, sensing great courage in the Alliance, Velen and his followers pledged themselves to this noble faction. Known by his people as the Prophet, he has been granted the gift of the Sight, and - aided by the Light - rejected offers of dark power from Sargeras and has guided his people as they fled from, and later fought against, the Burning Legion and their former eredar brethren. Velen has been the leader of the draenei people since their flight from Argus 13,000 years before the first orcish invasion of Azeroth. “Where faith dwells, hope is never lost.”
