Relics of Caormastus Story Line

... lighthouse in Westfall and a ring was found in the hills of Redridge. While their secrets have yet to be unlocked, we may be certain by the markings of the pentagonal pattern that these are relics of great importance to the Order!

During a Crusade to the Arathi Highlands to cleanse the land of horde Captain Keenvalor came upon a hunk of iron that appeared to glow with holy energy. Upon further inspection it bore the same pentagonal pattern as other relics of the prophet. Having remembered this pattern from earlier travels, Captain Keenvalor led a crusade to Terran Mill to recover the second half of the hammer head. Once there, Templar Balis uncovered the second half of the hammer head. Holding them together, the glow became more intense. Templar Belik of the Order put forward the plan to reforge the hammer in the fires of Blackrock mountain. After reading "Zealous Eternal" upon the hammer and concluding this must be the hammer of Rufio the Zealous, Lord Inquisitor Andaelas accepted the task of forging the hammer. In the days that followed, the High Deputy Lord Inquisitor Andaelas, in all his wisdom skill and Zeal, sent the Templares on a quest about the land to find the material needed to reforge the blessed hammer of Rufio the Zealous.  High and low the Templares searched for the needed ingredients and reagents.   Upon gathering the last of the required items, the High Deputy Lord Inquisitor Andaelas lead his men into the heart of the core to reforge the ancient hammer.  The searing heat was enough to turn back any man, but the Templares were on a mission from the Light.  In their hands was a link to the distant past, the glory of the Light, and the wisdom of the prophet’s teachings.  

 

Through fire and ash they fought their way to the molten river of stone and by its immense heat reforged the hammer of Rufio the Zealous. 

Plagued by burns and dehydration, the Templares dragged themselves out of the fiery pit of doom, carrying the blessed hammer.  Each Templare sacrificed their bodies to protect the relic from the destruction that loomed around every bend as they climbed up and out of this cavern of fire and brimstone.  It was through divine blessing and the pure will of faith that the Templares, led by their mighty High Deputy Lord Inquisitor Andaelas, managed to make it out alive.  

The hammer stands today as a symbol of the power of Zeal, the ability for one of true conviction to be able to blind themselves to pain and impending death, in order to accomplish something truly great. 

Months had passed after the finding of the hammer without further discovery. So, the Tempalres collected themselves for prayer before the found relics. Miraculously, the Questing Bone rose, and gave itself to Templar Zhonn Ashlight, and it led them to Tanaris where the Sword of Judgement, the Blazing Blade of Santoro the Absolute was rcovered.

Finally, the Templares were led to the Molten Core in Blackrock Mountain, by a vision granted by the Orb of the Light. They were led deep into the heart of the mountain, and an ancient tome was found there. The Tempalres were disappointed because it seemed blank. But, it was discovered that the writing was revealed when a heretic's blood was spilled upon the pages, and the holy writing was left in blank lettering. This tome was revealed to be the Book of Wisdom scribed by Genhein the Wise.
