um what do you mean?
take it your not familiar with warhammer ?
I’ve only heard about it and seen a few videos about it so far it looks like it’s the new wow. you know when the game was actelly good.
Yrel will be the leader of the alliance one day.
Towards the end of the Shadowlands expansion she will make an appearance as we prepare for the next expansion after shadowlands “Tyranny of the Light” in which we join forces with Yrel who has rebelled against the lightbound and become the leader of the lightforged, and with the help of the void elves to resist the fanatics who seek to impose the light across countless worlds.
It’s actually the -old- WoW if you want to think of it that way, its been around a lot longer than WoW and the WC games have been.
It has a rich setting, and spawned a whole franchise, as well as more novels than WoW could shake a stick at, in fact Blizzard even pinch the more talented of their novelists to write their own novels (Looking at you William King)
Actually, no, let me rephrase that…
Warhammer is a generic false medieval game with elements of technology, it has a few basically interesting premises, but nothing you would not find in A N Other fantasy universe.
Warhammer 40K however, is at the same time a setting for people on excessive amounts of energy drinks, testosterone, or certain controlled substances. A setting where humans are kind of the bad guys, with super soldiers who are essentially (and literally) the sort of people wearing skulls on their armour to show how evil they are, and think that anything non human needs putting in a death camp/just exterminated/their planet bombarded with Nukes or Virus bombs.
Needless to say, some of them went a bit power crazy and too up themselves, and went full on evil. I mean…-more- full on evil. The Elves blew up their planet, and follow the traditional elven method of being egotistical narcissists who believe whatever they do is right, oh, and revere a blood god avatar who may or may not be related to the actual Evil Blood God in the setting. The OrKs are just mental beserkers who are actually hermaphrodites who reproduce via spores. No really. OrKs are actually plants. Then you have your Tau, who are basically space samurai, who prove that aliens can always justify being absolute jebs to other people, if they can come up with some plausible “It is for the greater Good” type mince, They had Gnomes who were all snipers, and Dwarves, who were all bikers who were members of ZZ Top in there as well, but forgot about those, oh and they ripped off Aliens with a race called the Genestealers, who it later turns out were a bioweapon built by an alien species that is into biological warfare, and sacrifices actual performance for “What looks like it was in a David Cronenberg movie watched whilst drunk?”
It also has one of the best written backgrounds and lore story of any setting ever. Its crazy. Its both at the same time…

the imperium of man would disagree that they are the bad guys they are the shining beacon of hope amongs a sea of chaos fighting the endless armies of chaos and their dark gods 
I am pretty sure that the way Varian was killed also destroyed his soul (fel consumes the soul) so I do not think he is coming back unless that is retconned.
In all honesty I have been a Varian hater for more than not, he is being too edgy for me.
Anduin on the other hand kinda grew up along with us. WoW is also his story.
I like to think the soul is just trapped in eternal torment, used as a power source to fuel some demonic machine or gateway. Over time the soul loses its strength, which is why you need to keep pumping more souls into these… but they are all there, for eternity.
At least if a warlock uses your soul for a quick spell it’s over faster…
Or maybe he’s being used to fuel a demonic thingy and we free him and after he kills a few demonic thingys he gets badass again and then he maybe even kills gul’dan?
Whilst I see the Symmetry, what with Gul’dan being used to fuel the Iron Horde portal in WoD, I think Varian’s chance of killing Gul’dan is kind of gone, because, well, isn’t he already dead? I mean, aren’t they -both- already dead?
Yes but i meant like in the shadowlands
As I, and someone else said earlier, bringing him back now would actually ruin it. Come on, look at the starting Legion Cinematic, the one with him on the Gunship. He was -The Dude-. Well animated, voiced, and portrayed well…Superbly well in fact, and then his death at Broken Shore… It was perfect. It was the absolutely perfect way for a Hero to go out, battered down but not broken, beaten, but not defeated, defiant to his very last breath.
Varian Wrynn died like an absolute boss, a legend, a hero.
To bring him back would cheapen it. Let his death stand as it was, because it was a pretty big deal, and powerful as heck…
Turalyon was infused with the Light by Xe’ra, granting him immortality.

Maybe some Naaru stuff going on with time too?
Not what i said i said in the shadowlands not take them out of there…
It’s certainly possible, but in all honesty I believe there was a breakdown in communication, between turalyon being either present or part of the silver hand as a veteran paladin when arthas was inducted, and turalyon fighting the burning legion for 1000 years.
Unless…
This turalyon isn’t our turalyon, our one is still somewhere lost, dead or alive. This turalyon is ANOTHER alternate universe, like how we visited a version of draenor before it was destroyed. He’s from yet another alternate universe that’s 1000 years ahead.
It could all be someone not really involved with story etc just thought it’d be cool to have him say he’s fought for 1000 years to ‘big up’ his character as he’s a relative unknown to newer players/those not into lore.

he killed his own people, let arthas rot in hell
He did what he had to do to stop the spreading of the plague but i’d wish he’d just cleanced them.
Hear hear.
Arthas’ spirit kicked Ner’zhuls spirit into submission within the helm of dominion so let’s not start with the “it’s all NZ fault”.
Arthas was an individual with a cause he became so besotted with he began to ignore the means by which he’d implement it. That’s what makes him a good villain. NZ mindcontrolling a golden balls is a dumb villain premise.
NZ picked Arthas because of his demeanour. He just unfortunately picked someone who was too much of what he needed and ended up making NZ his whipping boy.
This would actually have been a cool plot beat for Shadowlands.
But he got disenchanted. Don’t think we’ll be seeing him.
Could be wrong though.
Then we could see a fist fight like in the movie but with guardians ensuring the rules will be followed.
