Harex, the emperor of the Kuo-toans, was known as the Master of the Boundless Ocean who had seven legendary sea generals under his command. However, the explored part of the Boundless Ocean was already twice the size of the continent, not to mention the waters that seemed to be forever enshrouded in the mist. How could such a spacious "territory" be governed by only eight legends?
Of course, without external foes, one top legend was enough to control the Boundless Ocean. However, the sea elves backed by the Elven Court, the Congress of Magic that controlled many islands, the South Church that had raised several agents in the south side of the ocean, the Moonlight forces that were very close to the Dark Congress, and the Gipps murlocs who were as tough as stones forced Harex to take actions prudently. The Elven Court, which had burst into direct conflicts with him, had attracted most of his forces.
