Jortas

This article contains lore taken from Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

Jortas was a small village somewhere on Azeroth. Centuries ago, at the very start of Aegwynn's tenure as Guardian of Tirisfal, the minor demon Zmodlor appeared and started a cult called the Burning Blade. Zmodlor's cultists took over the schoolhouse of Jortas, planning to sacrifice its children using a sword covered in oil and set alight as a ritual tool. Aegwynn appeared just in time to save the children and neutralize Zmodlor, with the event being her first ever demon banishment, but it made the Council of Tirisfal angry at her methods.
