Bring varian wrynn back

Lol i remember that campaign while also working on a better version of it like where he can get better spells

Speaking of the line of Wrynn, shouldnā€™t Anduin be married and making heirs by now?

Iā€™d ask where are all the princesses lining up for him, but Stormwind is like the only human kingdom leftā€¦

delete anduin
tyrande take over alliance
nuke orgimmar burn it to the ground

all ā€˜ā€˜hordeā€™ā€™ can move to silvermoon, seeing as70% of horde are blood elves

We might meet him in Shadowlands :slight_smile:

I suspect weā€™ll see Anduin become ā€˜lightboundā€™ and turn into a fanatic. Eventually.

I love Anduinā€™s softer nature - and thereā€™s nothing wrong with wanting peace.

I get really tired of savage warfare, which really hasnā€™t helped anyone.

Dont even try to replace our beloved crying angel-boi! :heart_eyes:

Perhaps Anduin needs a strong woman at his side to man him up a bit

I hate to break it to you but heā€™s dead :frowning:

Taelia Fordragon already got it covered. :smirk:

Me on the broken shore where Varian died

Bring him back and give him his WotLK-MoP personality, ruthless and proud while at the same time cunning and cautious.

Bet weā€™ll encounter him in SL, and heā€™ll have a chat with Anduinn.

The irony is, that most people who want Varian Wrynn back want the wrong iteration of Varian Wrynn back. They want the warlike meathead.

Booooring.

Varian Wrynn in MOP was a much more relatable character, and ten times the king that he was when he first rocked up (Which is totally understandable, Kingship, as anything else, is I suppose something you get more used to the longer you do it).

I actually really liked Varianā€™s story arc, from thug-o-tronic gladiator, to thug-o-tronic King who occasionally listens to advice, to absolute God Tier Warrior King who understands how to do ā€œWhat a King must doā€ and doesnā€™t need advice anymore, heā€™s giving the adviceā€¦and heā€™s right.

By the end, Varian Wrynn was a massively engaging character vastly changed from his fairly naff beginningsā€¦

Sadly, Iā€™m pretty sure he is uber goneā€¦I doubt he even got to go to the Maw, given the manner of his deathā€¦

You canā€™t have someone go out in such a heroic fashion then just ā€œbring them backā€ for nostalgia sake, it would be in very bad taste from a story telling POV, in my humble opinion.

Absolutely it would. He died at the pinnacle of his greatness, in an impressive way (I mean, I know I often whinge about the Horde Broken Shores Cinematic just being the same as the Alliance one, but it -was- an excessively well done visual treat of a cinematic). When does King Arthur ā€˜dieā€™? At the battle of Camlann, fighting his son Mordred, at the height of his legend, When did King Leonidas die? At the Battle of Thermopylae leading a small force of 300 Spartiates, (plus helots, a Thespian contingent and a Lesbian contingent if I remember rightly) against the army of Xerxes, the largest and most terrifying force in the world. Cuchullain? Fionn Maccumhaill? Kaiser Barbarossa, Roland

Heroes die at the top of the curve, thatā€™s why we remember their deaths. Know how Robin Hood died? I do, it was fairly dull actually. Complete Anti Climax. Reckon a certain Jewish prophet would have started a religion if Pontius Pilate went ā€œActually, yeah, let the bloke goā€ and instead he died an old man, incontinent, blind and dribbling?

For heroes, to quote the A-Ha song ā€œLivingā€™s in the way we Dieā€

Which is why Volā€™jin gets unfair mockery, and Varian is lauded to the heavens.

Anduin is too bland right now, they need to give him some deeper personality traits.
Iā€™d love to see Varian back in some way in the Shadowlands.

Thatā€™s what they did with Illidan. :slight_smile:
But I agree.

Nope, his son is a disgrace to Alliance, Varian is guilty for having such stupid offspring. We need to get rid of Wrynn family line.

He even makes me dislike being a Paladin. Iā€™d say we get arthas to be the king instead or tyrande or a council.
