Ardenweald: What seems to be Confusing?

[Spoilers, for those who haven’t seen the Cinematic yet…please watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_IHQJy8feU]

Ok so we remember killing Ursoc in the Emerald Nightmare Raid. But we also killed Nythendra and Cenarius…who - like Ysera and Ursoc - were supposed to go to Ardenweald…and yet what is confusing is this…

  1. After we killed Cenarius and the final boss Xavius, we returned to the Emerald Dream where Cenarius was back in his full might and Ursoc was also there as a spirit…so how come he was vanquished in Ardenweald?? so the concept of spirit and soul (anima) are different?

  2. Ysera’s “spirit” also aided us against Xavius in the Emerald Dream and yet…her soul was being “nurtured” in Ardenweald, whereas Ursoc’s soul was allowed to be taken? Why?

  3. How come Cenarius was “reborn” so fast compared to other Wild Gods? Is Cenarius different from the other Wild Gods/Loa?

I think blizzard story-tellers should explain THREE THINGS as far as this cinematic and the lore surrounding it is concerned:

  1. Is there a difference between spirit and soul (anima) in the WoW Universe (this can probably be a Chronicle retcon)?
  2. Why so much leniency towards Ysera as opposed to Ursoc and all other slumbering souls (possibly other wild gods) in Ardenweald - who were allowed to be destroyed?
  3. What is so unique about Cenarius?

If I - as an avid follower of lore - cannot get an explanation to this…I will be massively disappointed!!!

Retcon

Creators pet? Or if we want a “less malicious” reason, her character may be involved in some ulterior plan Elune has.
Personally do not like it.
I think that a Wild God such as Ursoc deserved it more. The Aspects have screwed the planet one to many times.

Because we didn’t actually kill him in the raid. If you go over now, you’ll see how we beat him unconscious. But do not kill him.
Then, Malfurion heals him and cleanses the Nightmare out of him.

He wasn’t reborn.

As I said, she may be relevant for some future plot, or simply be favoured by some writer more than the likes of Ursoc are.

So you agree there is a difference between spirit and soul according to WoW lore?

I think it’s more blizzard just retconning night elf lore, to create Ardenweald.
