The struggle between Firmament Light and the Sisterhood had always been conducted in secret, with neither side openly breaking ties.
Firstly, Elune and Your Majesty Gail, the two parties involved, had not issued any divine edicts or launched any holy wars.
Malfurion had caused trouble many times; if it were anyone else, Your Majesty Gail would have killed him eight times over. The reason he didn't completely eliminate Malfurion was to show respect to Elune.
Firstly, Malfurion was Cenarius's favorite disciple, and Cenarius had contributed significantly to Malfurion's actions. Although Cenarius did not receive Elune's direct instruction, Elune still bore an inescapable responsibility.
In this regard, Elune was in the wrong.
Secondly, Elune thought highly of Malfurion. Malfurion had gained the recognition of nature, and nature was, in fact, the world's World-Soul, Azeroth.
Elune's mission was to protect Azeroth, and she also had to protect the World-Child chosen by Azeroth.
Your Majesty Gail not killing Malfurion was indeed out of respect for Elune and Azeroth.
Secondly, the leadership of the Elune Sisterhood and the Sun God Sect were all familiar with each other.
After Maiev stepped down from her position as High Priestess, the role fell to Nasha, who had already married Karna. Lunden, Your Majesty Gail's initial attendant mage, had a very good relationship with Nasha, and an even better one with Karna.
Years of friendship prevented Nasha and Lunden from taking extreme measures against each other.
Thus, both sides tacitly chose to compete in secret. However, the higher echelons of the empire provided more assistance to Lunden, so the Sun God Sect, under the suppression of the Sisterhood, slowly developed after gaining a foothold.
Lunden was not in a hurry; after all, the Elves had plenty of time. If a day wasn't enough, then a year; if a year wasn't enough, then a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand years. One day, the Sun God Gail would replace the Moon God Elune.
Nasha had many responsibilities and always had to divert her attention to other matters. Besides considering Elune's faith, she also had to consider the empire's interests. Therefore, she initially allowed the Sun God Sect to grow little by little, believing it wouldn't be too late to deal with them once they reached a certain scale.
It was this mindset that led to the Sun God Sect's growth. By the time she reacted, the Sun God Sect had already become a behemoth.
Of course, that is a story for another time.
When Eileen summoned the Sun Sprites, Lunden immediately recognized this as an opportunity to expand the Sun God Sect. Although Pandaria consisted of allied races, the Sun God Sect should not be limited to the Kaldorei Empire. In previous developments, allied races were often more receptive to Sun teachings.
Especially the Tauren, whose original mythology included the Sun God An'she. There was even a Sunwalkers organization among the Tauren, who understood how to use some simple Holy Light spells.
Later, after Your Majesty Gail vigorously developed Holy Light spells, the Tauren realized that their so-called An'she did not actually exist, and what responded to them was not the Sun God, but the Holy Light.
After losing their faith in the Sun God An'she, the Sunwalkers felt a great void. At this time, when a new Sun God was presented to them, they immediately accepted him. This also proved Your Majesty Gail's power, that he could indeed rival a god; otherwise, the Sunwalkers would not have so readily accepted Your Majesty Gail.
There were also Tauren in Pandaria, who might quickly convert in large numbers.
With this goal in mind, Lunden personally led a team, bringing a large number of Sun Sprites and allied race faithful warriors, to join Eileen's army.
Jinwu was dispatched by Aviana; all the Storm Crows in the Emerald Dream had transformed into Jinwu. However, their strength was still very weak, so Aviana sent Jinwu to the Sky City in batches to absorb Sun Power and enhance their abilities.
When Aviana accepted Sun God Power, Jinwu was destined to become Your Majesty Gail's subordinate. Your Majesty Gail felt no psychological burden about poaching Elune's followers.
What Elune owed him could not be compensated by just a flock of crows.
After Jinwu entered the Sky City, their strength increased very rapidly. Inute felt the Sun Power on Jinwu and immediately began researching Jinwu's shapeshifting form. After over a hundred years of simulation and confirmation, he finally developed the Shapeshifting: Jinwu spell.
As the leader of the Sky City Druids, Inute's approval meant that other Druids would accept it. Now, all Sky City Druids have learned Shapeshifting: Jinwu. This skill has become the signature ability of Sky City Druids, and Druids from other places simply cannot learn it.
Because this skill requires the help of Sun Power, and the Sun Temple constantly emits Sun Power, only the Sky City Druids can use this shapeshifting spell.
And after learning this shapeshifting spell, Sun Power gradually integrated into the Druids' bodies. Under the influence of Sun Power, the effects of their skills changed. The nature creatures they summoned became Fire Elementals. The spells they used also transformed into Sun God spells.
Your Majesty Gail was also curious about this. After some research, he discovered that these Druids were gradually becoming infused with fire, much like Fandral Staghelm in the game.
Thus, Your Majesty Gail helped them name this new faction, calling them Flame Druids.
Inute, as the first Flame Druid, held a high position in Sky City, even more prestigious than his father, Nalarex.
After Firmament Light, Jinwu, and the Flame Druids were assembled, they waited for the portal to open, and Eileen was the first to arrive in Pandaria.
The Shadow Master had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the Elves were using a force entirely composed of Fire Elementals, he couldn't help but say, "The Mantis Shrimp are very strong. Simply using a force of Fire Elementals might be countered by the Mantis Shrimp."
Metri reassured him, "Don't worry, although they all use Fire Elemental spells, the Mantis Shrimp cannot withstand their magic. Do you remember that giant pillar of fire summoned by Your Majesty?"
The Shadow Master nodded; of course he remembered. He had never seen such immense power in his life, not even the Four August Celestials could achieve it.
Metri said, "That giant pillar of fire contained Sun God Power, and these people are all Your Majesty's followers. They can all use Sun Power, which naturally counters any enemy."
Upon hearing this, the Shadow Master was a little disbelieving. Could there really be an energy in this world that naturally countered all enemies? It was simply too incredible.
Metri stopped explaining and walked towards Eileen, "Long time no see, Princess."
Eileen smiled and said, "Indeed, long time no see, Uncle Metri."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Metri introduced her to the Shadow Master.
Eileen said, "Master, rest assured on this matter. We will definitely find the Sha of Hatred and eliminate it."
The Shadow Master nodded; he was quite confident in this statement. Even if this Princess's strength was insufficient, Your Majesty Gail would certainly not stand idly by.
