Arthas had been his guiding light. Without him, Orion would never have had access to high-tier, rare resources during his early days. Nor would he have received the trove of priceless gifts from his brothers in the Champions Alliance before his rise to power.
Orion certainly wouldn't bat an eye at those items now, but back then, every single gift had been a trump card, a literal lifeline in times of desperate need.
"Go," Arthas said. "If the situation becomes untenable, relocate your core forces to the Valkorath Realm first."
"Once I use the dragon egg to seize control of the Ever-Burning Volcano, we will join forces. We'll take back everything you've lost, brother."
Orion was deeply moved. This was Arthas's promise—his brother offering him an ultimate safety net.
With those words, even if Orion lost the entirety of the Titanion Realm, he knew Arthas would help him conquer it all over again in the future.
