BIOGRAPHY

Ijunte was born and raised by the Darkspear Tribe during its exile. Though noted by her elders as a clever and bright young troll, Ijunte never found any solace in the religious practices of the jungle trolls, and her lack of interest held her back from advancing to positions of power within the tribe she might have otherwise attained. Few of her tribesmen shared her perspective. Among them was Mau'zashu. They fell in love.

Though their beliefs made things difficult for them, they earned their place within the tribe by studying magic to the most that their resources would allow. Ijunte became an enchantress of excellent repute, and Mau'zashu became a capable wizard.

Joining the Horde was an excellent opportunity for both of them. The exposure to other cultures allowed Ijunte and Mau'zashu to better pursue their own beliefs without being harried by the restrictions of the Darkspear Tribe, and the libraries of the orcs and tauren allowed them to better research their callings.

During a magical experiment, however, Mau'zashu was inexplicably turned into a frog. When Ijunte could not account for the error, she began pursued the matter abroad. She visited with the greatest magical minds of the Forsaken, the most celebrated enchanters of the orcs and tauren, and even learned the language of the humans and, after arrangements had been formalized, met with Jaina Proudmoore in Theramore. All had the same response - the process was impeccable, everything should have worked, there was no reason for Mau'zashu's fate to have occurred.

Having exhausted all other avenues, Ijunte reluctantly turned to her own people, and sought out the foremost witches of the Darkspear Tribe. The Weirs Sisters: Deino, Enyo, and Pephredo. The Weird Sisters informed her that they had received word of her coming long ago by the Primal Gods, and had waited long for her arrival. They told her that the Primal Gods had grown displeased with Ijunte and Mau'zashu, and told her that she would be tried. She would walk the path of fire and only then would Mau'zashu be restored.

In response to those visions, Pephredo took Ijunte on as her student, and taught her the ways of the pyromancer. Ijunte learned to create and control magical fire, and set out into the world to use her powers against those who would oppose the Primal Gods.

Ijunte travelled the world, with Mau'zashu always at her side, and attempted to earn the favour of the Primal Gods. Her travels took her to Yojamba Isle, where she met Jin'zolo and battled the Gurubashi at his side. She helped him and Sen'zir Beastwalker bring down the High Priestess Hai'watna.

FRIENDS AND FOES

ZALLAGRA Olive Raptor Zallagra had been tamed by Ijunte and Mau'zashu several years before the Darkspears joined the Horde. Though Mau'zashu handled her with ease, Zallagra always gave Ijunte trouble. This continued after Mau'zashu was transformed into a frog, however she seemed to be able to recognize him despite his transformation. When travelling with Ijunte, Mau'zashu will often sit on Zallagra's back, and his presence seems to calm Zallagra enough for Ijunte to direct her.

MAU'ZASHU Jungle Troll Mage / Frog Mau'zashu was another cynic of the trolls' superstition and religion, and found in Ijunte a kindred spirit. They became mates and began working together to earn their way, but during a magical experiment Mau'zashu was transformed into a frog. Ijunte began to work to restore him by earning the favour of the Primal Gods. Ijunte at first had her teacher Pephredo keep Mau'zashu as she was preparing to leave Orgrimmar, but Pephredo, being blind, was a poor warden and Mau'zashu managed to escape twice. Fearing that he would get into trouble trying to track her down once she started travelling abroad, Ijunte was forced to take him with her. He often accompanies her even into battle.
