Strom'kar, the Warbreaker is the artifact two-handed sword used by arms warriors in World of Warcraft: Legion. It previously belonged to King Thoradin, the barbarian warlord who first united humanity and founded the nation of Arathor, and was lost while it was being used to subdue the C'Thraxxi monstrosity, Zakajz the Corruptor, in a forgotten tomb beneath Tirisfal Glades.
Strom'kar can be modified to use one of five two-handed sword appearances: Classic, Vengeance of the Fallen, Flamereaper, Wrath's Edge and Blade of the Sky Champion. An additional unlockable appearance, Arcanite Bladebreaker will change the weapon's appearance to that of a two-handed axe. Each weapon appearance has four color tints options. The appearances and color tints are unlockable by completing certain criteria.
Strom'kar comes with one Iron Artifact Relic, one Blood Artifact Relic and one Shadow Artifact Relic and its hidden trait is [Surrounded by Trolls!], which fears nearby hostile troll NPCs when the weapon is equiped.
Source
Strom'kar is obtained by level 98 warriors from the quest Quest:The Sword of Kings, given by Odyn in Skyhold, and serves as the arms warrior's artifact weapon for World of Warcraft: Legion.
Background
History
- Main article: Saga of the Valarjar
Saga of the Valarjar intro
- Human history is not complete without mention of Strom'kar. With this blade, a visionary warlord named Thoradin united his race into a single nation. He led his people to victory against the trolls in one of the greatest wars humankind has ever fought. He changed the destiny of the world. Strom'kar's stroy is one of violence and bloodshed, of cunning and desperation. And, ultimately, of bravery and sacrifice.
Legion website description
- This greatsword was borne into combat by the barbarian warlord who first united humanity under a single banner, founding the nation of Arathor. A master tactician and strategist, King Thoradin went on to play a critical role in ending the Troll Wars. Later the sword was lost while it was being used to subdue a C'Thraxxi monstrosity in a forgotten tomb beneath Tirisfal. Abandoned and all but forgotten, Strom'kar has been slowly drinking from the shadowy power there over thousands of years.[1]
In-game description
- The first king of the humans, Thoradin, was a mighty ruler and a mighty warrior. He carried with him a greatsword forged by vrykul, empowered by elves, and bloodied on the fields of countless battles.
- Strom'kar, ender of wars, was lost with Thoradin. One strong enough to recover the sword would bring to bear a blade unlike any seen in the ages since.[2]
Weapon description
- The steel of the barbarian king shall strike the final blow. It shall silence the din of battle, and bring the first kingdom into an age of peace.
