Hi, wanted to ask where is Khadgar since we are in peace?
It blows my mind where is Khadgar or even Medivh! Are they still alive somewhere? At least one quest npc please xD
So Khadgar departed to Karazhan after The Horde and The Alliance began fighting each other over Azerite. He wanted no part in that war after he had just fought side by side with both factions against The Burning Legion. So he left for Karazhan to study and prepare a possible future threat.
Medivh is kind of the same. We discover him inside Karazhan (the Legion mega dungeon) where he sort of leads Khadgar along the right path and mentors him a bit and gives the pep talk and all that.
And when Khadgar asks if he would help fight The Burning Legion, Medivh says his path leads elsewhere and that he places his trust in Khadgar.
So theyâre both a bit missing in action.
Story-wise I suppose the above works well enough. Practically speaking I guess itâs also just to have a different character line-up every once in a while. And we did just go through WoD and Legion with Khadgar as a main character. So he takes a bit of a backseat so other characters can get some time in the spotlight.
Iâm sure Blizzard will make use of both Khadgar and Medivh again at some point.

Well, the future threat came, no Khadgar to be seen. Two global threats without faction relation that Khadgar skipped on, actually. And things likeâŚ
âŚdonât really help. They mean absolutely nothing by themselves. It just means that the devs havenât given us reasons for their absence yet, but might (or might not) do so in the future. Saying that it âworks well enoughâ is more than a bit premature, when they have given us nothing more than open placeholders.
Sure, Blizzard certainly wants to modify the character line-up now and again, but to make that work, they should include excuses for why they werenât present when things got bad. They might still be able to do so, but itâs not wrong to point out that they havenât done so yet, and really should, if the characters are supposed to feel like believable parts of the world.

Only meta reasons explain Khadgars absence.
His character has been benched in order to push forth other protagonists for the story.
There is really no realistic reason as to why would he stay out of the fight against an Old God, or against the rise of a Death God bent on the unmaking of reality itself.

Even if there was no reason in that sense, there can still be an explanation. Like being trapped in some way. I agree that itâs not likely, but it could in theory be pulled off. If the writers cared.

In plots like these, I kinda donât mind it if some recurring characters donât really show up. But yeah, something to explain their absence would be nice. Though âstudyingâ works, weâd have to assume the gravity of threat is greater or simply that he and/or Medivh canât be there at this time.
As Wimbert said. Could just as easily be them trapped under a rock, hoping someone will pass by to free them sometime soon.
Or something. Just something works.

Sure thing, but my point is plot twists that Blizzard would make maybe later again wonât be cool enough if you have no idea whatâs up for a long time about characters. Iâve mentioned these name because I love arcane mage but there are many missing characters which would come at some point without any info.
