+'''John's Stylish Robe''' is a quest reward from [[Quest:Bear In Mind]].
-'''Oshu'gun''', possibly the largest diamond in the known universe, is located in southwestern [[Nagrand]]. ''Oshu'gun'' is [[Orcish]] for "Mountain of Spirits".  It is currently being harvested by a faction of [[ethereal]]s opposed to the [[Consortium]]. Deep within the massive crystal dwells a [[naaru]] named [[K'ure]], accompanied by the Orcish Ancestors, the spirits of orcs who have passed on. Oshu'gun is in fact a naaru [[Dimensional Ship]], and was a vessel K'ure used to help the [[draenei]] flee [[Argus]] thousands of years ago, traversing the Twisting Nether until it crash-landed on Draenor approximately two centuries before the First War.

-Oshu'gun is invariably linked to K'ure. Around the time Oshu'gun landed, K'ure fell ill, rendering the ship useless.

-In the time following this event, the orcs came to revere the enormous gem. It became a sacred place and every year the orcs would gather there to celebrate the spring and autumn festival. The [[shaman]] would commune with their honored ancestors (who, unknown to the shaman, came to dwell within Oshu'gun to commune with K'ure). Recognizing the orcish reverence, the draenei retreated from the mountain. It was the center of orcish culture in Nagrand until the clans became the [[Horde (pre-Thrall)|Horde]]. At this point the spirits of Oshu'gun fell silent and the ancestors turned their backs upon the orcs.

-As mentioned by a [[Quest:A Secret Revealed|Horde-only quest]], K'ure was weakened by Oshu'gun's crash and has been trapped within the ship for centuries. As his holy energies bled away over the centuries, a void slowly grew in his place - devouring the souls of those nearby. K'ure watched helplessly as generations of orc spirits were consumed by this vortex. Recently, the [[Burning Legion]] has harnessed this vortex in order draw countless void minions in order to increase their own ranks.

-The novel, '''[[Rise of the Horde]]''', which was developed prior to the expansion, presents a slightly different nuance of K'ure's relation to Oshu'gun.  Rather than residing within the ship portion of the mountain, K'ure occupied a small pool of water within the crystal itself.  During the Orcish festival of [[Kosh'harg]], shaman would enter Oshu'gun and add blessed water to this pool as a ritual to speak with their ancestors.  Unbeknownst to those shaman was the fact that the blessed water also  helped to sustain K'ure.  In addition, rather than a dark, spirit-consuming void forming as it died, the novel specifies that K'ure's energies instead provided a refuge that attracted the spirits of Orcish deceased.  With the help of those energies, the spirits could communicate with living shaman via dreams and visions.  According to the novel, after the clans on Draenor became corrupted, these ancestral spirits did not actually abandon the living (though they did spurn the shaman who had betrayed them) nor become consumed by a dark void.  Instead, Kil'jaeden and Gul'dan had a demonic barrier/guard put around the mountain which cut off the spirits and K'ure from the outside world.
-Another naaru, [[D'ore]], was all but killed in the crash of Oshu'gun. His remains were laid to rest by [[Velen]] and the draenei in the first crypt of what would become [[Auchindoun]]. In the intermittent centuries, he has slowly been regenerating. The pull of his void energy as D'ore lay dormant is what brought the curse to Auchindoun. The same thing is now happening with K'ure at Oshu'Gun.
-The shapes around Oshu'gun are similar in appearance to the real-life phenomenae [[wikipedia:crop circle|crop circle]]s.
-==Currently==
-At present, Oshu'gun is populated by agents of the [[Shadow Council]] from the nearby [[Kil'sorrow Fortress]]. These include Terrorfiends (a subspecies of [[Doomguard]]), warlocks torturing the spirits of orc ancestors, and a [[Shivarra]] and her warlocks draining the naaru K'ure at the center.
-[[The Consortium]], a group of interstellar traders and smugglers, were planning on harvesting Oshu'gun when word from their leader, [[Nexus-Prince Haramad]], brought the operation to a halt. The Nexus-Prince mentioned "political situations" in [[Netherstorm]].
