Magatha Grimtotem — the dark tauren elder of WoW Classic
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
Magatha Grimtotem is an old and powerful tauren shaman, matriarch of the aggressive Grimtotem tribe. Outwardly she sits as an elder on the Elder Rise of Thunder Bluff, but in secret she schemes to seize power from Cairne Bloodhoof.
Magatha is the "serpent under the roof" of Thunder Bluff. She is a respected elder in the citizens' eyes, yet the leader of the Grimtotem tribe, hostile to Cairne's Bloodhoof tauren.
Who is Magatha
Magatha Grimtotem is one of the oldest and strongest shamans among the tauren, matriarch of the Grimtotem tribe. Unlike the peaceable people of Cairne, the Grimtotem are a warlike, insular and cruel clan who despise the alliance with the other races of the Horde.
Magatha wields dark shamanic magic and is reputed a master of poisons and intrigue. Her ambition knows no bounds: she dreams of bringing all the tauren under the rule of the Grimtotem.
The conspiracy against Cairne
The paradox of Thunder Bluff is that Magatha openly sits on the Elder Rise as one of the respected advisors of Cairne Bloodhoof — and yet plots against him. The High Chieftain knows of the tribes' feud, but honors the tradition of the elders' council and tolerates Magatha's presence.
Her treachery is a constant hidden threat to tauren unity. The dark designs of the Grimtotem are one of the most tense intrigues in Horde lore, smoldering beneath the peaceful face of Mulgore.
