The Outriggers,[1] or Stormriggers,[2] are an organization of Kul Tiran monster hunters based in Tiragarde Sound. The group has dedicated itself to defending Kul Tiras and the Sound from external threats that might emerge, though they specialize in fighting monsters and creatures from the sea, centered around Anglepoint Bay. The group maintains a base at Krakenbane Cove.
Eventually, as the Fourth War progressed, the Outriggers would accept an offer to crew a new flagship constructed specifically for King Anduin Wrynn, with Rosaline Madison acting as first mate on board.[3]
History[]
The Outriggers would become a well-established force within Tiragarde Sound as one of the region's staunchest defenders, with trophies of their victories known to be displayed in Boralus itself.[4] From Outrigger Post on Anglepoint Bay, the monster hunters kept a close eye on Tiragarde Sound's westernmost sea gate, integral to the kingdom's security.
At the same time as the Kul Tiran civil war, Anglepoint Wharf and the nearby bay became gradually corrupted by dark forces of immense power. With the help of Alliance heroes, the betrayal of Director Deepwarden was uncovered and his followers' influence gradually pushed back. The Outriggers, in particular, focused on culling any corrupted monsters in Anglepoint Bay, while also targeting eggs twisted by dark magic.[5]
In one final attack, a colossal kraken known as Viq'Goth directly assaulted the walls of Anglepoint's sea gate. Led by Rosaline Madison, the Outriggers would man the harbor defenses and rain death down upon the sea terror. After a fierce battle, the kraken retreated, signaling victory for the defenders.[6]
When the Horde attacked Anglepoint Wharf with the intention of destroying the protective seagate with Azerite explosives, the Outriggers helped to defend the wharf until Lord Admiral Jaina Proudmoore and the Alliance emissary arrived to finally drive the Horde forces off.[7]
Following the Battle of Dazar'alor, the Kul Tirans began construction of a unique flagship to be gifted to High King Anduin Wrynn. Tandred Proudmoore himself would seek out the Outriggers at Lord Admiral's vessel. Though initially reluctant, Rosaline Madison agreed to the offer, enticed by the idea of getting revenge on the Horde for the attack on Anglepoint. In the role of first mate, Rosaline would gather the other Outriggers and board the new vessel for its maiden voyage from Stormsong Valley to Stormwind.
