Seriously creepy, tbh.
However that means Uther in Bastion will not be Uther the Lightbringer anymore?
And whatever afterlife Cairne went, it’s not Bastion…

Oh, by the way, I watched the video now and… that’s not the impression I got. Looked like the usual “help them get over their limitations”-quests, where you fight some bad memories and deal with some old attachments. I didn’t get the impression that they didn’t remember afterwards, just that they “got over it”.
Really, what I see is the afterlife for people who want to become perfect altruists and life the ideal Jedi lifestyle. That’s certainly not for everyone.
Oh… and yes. When you die…your old body is lost forever.

Well, that sounds much better.

The Tauren sure seems to forget.
Where do you get that? What he says afterwards is:
“I feel calm… and a little sad, to be honest.”. Then the streamer rides on, so anything else he might have said is lost.

That suggests to me that those memories are gone. He feels sad but doesn’t seem to remember why.
Okay, that’s on you. it doesn’t say that, and it doesn’t really make sense to me. The whole zone seemed tailored to people meditating and facing their bad sides to become more selfless, if we could just modify them by magic that wouldn’t really be necessary,
I guess we’ll know more once we actually can read the quest, but for now I’ll assume it is the usual “attachment is holding you back” Jedi stuff.
By the way, Revendreth also sounds quite fun:

Suramar meets Dracula, with light-averse vampire nobility, carriages, torture and oppression and… “super weird” stuff like " a Princess Mononoke/Spirited Away bestiary gone wrong."
Yup. “The Village Ward is mostly exterior environments, various dilapidated buildings, and a view of the fog-filled forest where the Venthyr schedule hunts on tortured souls, sending them out with a false sense of security and hope they run away, then track them down and “humble” them.”… just a fun place to live in.

why not simply become lightforged like turalyon is Araphant then you can technically live forever as long as someone don’t kill you

Screwed up system? Sounds fishy? Wanna bet Arbiter is the real bad guy? Total twist.

bwonsamdi will be the real bad guy and we kill him and end his reign for Azeroth!
then we burn the Zandalari empire to the ground… so you can go back to being a blood elf again

So if you live a good life you get sent to Bastion to be assimilated into the Blue Man Group and if you’re a bad dude you get sent to suffer in either Revendreth or the Maw.
Sounds to me like undeath might not be such a bad option then. Maybe Sylvanas was right all along.

Again, they said the four covenants we meet aren’t the only ones that exist in lore… It’s not either or.
Bwonsamdi won’t be killed. You’d wish to be troll just to have him as caring patron.
And you won’t raze anything midget. Not now not ever. Sooner elves wil turn back to be trolls 
back to their original non scrawny form.

But why do we need Bastion, when there are Night Fae, and the forest?

You already said the answer to that question, unbeknownst to you

In the end it will depend on the transmog, and sooner or later I will play all covenants with one character or the other… but I do think Basion will be my first choice, from what I have seen until now. I don’t need a world of black and white, but I do like a world that contains them, too.

Wow…These are your standards ?

Well…yes. Like I said, I’ll see all the stories either way, sooner or later. my RP characters won’t go into the Shadowlands in character, ever… I think. I don’t give a flying flamingo about gameplay optimization. So… What else, if not style, should decide it for me?

I don’t think normal people can return once they are there. Dead cahracters however could profit from this.
