Then we are to assume the same for the DK campaign, and that one involved being jerks and kicking everyone in the shins.
Not exactly, since the Horsemen still exist. Darion Mograine becoming their leader only after the attack at Lightâs Hope.
Corrupted Ashbringer artifact skin isnât canon. It involves you going to Dire Maul to talk to Prince Tortheldrin (confirmed dead as of Chronicles 3) and kill Onyxia and claim her head (confirmed dead by Varianâs hand as of Chronicles 3).
If Corrupted Ashbringer is canon, it decanonizes Chronicles 3 and Varianâs entire personal story arc, as well as good chunk of Cataclysm.
just for a skin thatâs an homage to the Vanilla rumours that you can get the Ashbringer from Dire Maul if you fish the right quest item first

Ah, Chronicle mentions it, I will conciede! I still believe that The Silver Hand and Ebon Blade are not in open war on eachother though, and at best are on⌠tolerable terms.
The indeed arent in open war but due to the plot armor not the hidden appearance .
Um, no
Entire DK (and every other orderâs) story arc in Legion was created in some instanced lore, equally as all the powerful artifacts we get in the process, simply for the sake of delivering some âunique experienceâ for each and every in-game class - exactly the same way we had garrisonâs in WoD for each faction. These stories do not meet up in the future, nothing is known about their existence in BfA (except Silver Hand, I guess, but without any official lore of course), nor it will contribute to any other lore in the nearest future. It just was and, according to Blizzardâs attitude, people should just treat it as if nothing happened.
Sucks, but it is a redpill

This is false, by the way. Thereâs unique dialogue with a red dragon in drustvar if youâre an Alliance DK specifically referencing the (ENTIRELY JUSTIFIED AND MORALLY CORRECT) massacre of the ruby dragons that was part of their 7.2 class mount quest chain.
Thereâs no indication that any of the class campaigns are ânon-canonâ, just the hidden artifact skin stuff.
Gotcha, on that note though. Why doesnt Liadrin use the Ashbringer as a weapon in her warfront? Outside of the âbut the player has Ashbringer!â
Im quite curios what the lore reasons could be.
Thankfully this is the headcanon thread, but my belief is that she retired and secured it with the Reliquary for fear that the sargeras corruption could cause problems in the future, and wanted it contained.
Id like to think she lost it deep in Dire Maul somewhere.
Until we are given an explicit statement that one of the non-base appearances are canon, thereâs no reason to assume that any of them are as the only thing we were shown is champions holding the base version to siphon the corruption.
Edit: idk why I quoted BTW. Mistake.
I donât claim it being headcanon, I claim it to be irrelevant in the current lore and in the lore to come
To stay true to the topic, though, I like to believe that Calia Menethil is gathering forces to occupy the plagued Lordaeron, hence her absence
Headcanons fire away:
The Forsaken are weirdly big on healthcare and education. Why? Well, almost the entirety of their population is plucked from graves and in varying stages of decay and cognition. Relearning skills, picking up new ones and patching up damage is vital for a functioning citizen. Everyone has a place and a use for something. In the words of Caretaker Caice; âKing, peasant, or ⌠I donât care WHAT you were before. I just need somebody with a working tongueâ. This leads to a strange internal solidarity that isnât really extended to the other races because they simply wouldnât âget itâ.
This also extends to their exile from Lordaeron, ensuring that the refugees do not fall into complete squalor and rot away in the Durotar sun. Efficient and dedicated, the dwindling forsaken waste nothing.

The reason that we see Centaur mainly use storm and lightning-related abilities, is because they wield such magic as a sign of defiance against their heritage. Being descended from a powerful earth elemental and a Keeper of the Grove, many centaur feel like abominations in the natural order of the world. This brought them to slay their father; and brought some of the centaur clans to defy and curse the name of Theradras.
It is in these clans where they defy the Earth Princess that the use of air magic is more widespread. It is the centaur defying their birthright as creatures of the earth, by wielding a completely opposite power. They distance themselves as much as possible from their earthy heritage.
This is also the largest reason for the massive feuds between the centaur clans. Those who follow Princess Theradras and rever her as their mother. And those who defy their heritage.
And that is why the centaur lady mobs usually casts spells like Hurricane instead of more earth-related abilities.

Black dragonflight can still breed and there is a broodmother somewhere, producing new eggs. Her offsprings are the ones that we meet on Island Expeditions and they will be featured in future storyline about Wrathion and Dragon Isles (which could possibly adress the whole âdragons can´t breedâ thing).
And other thing that isn´t supported by anything: Green dragonflight doesn´t exist anymore. With death of Ysera, corruption of other dragons by Emerald Nightmare and destruction of the Nightmare, they completely lost their purpose in the world and they know it. So, just like blue dragonflight started disbanding right after Cataclysm because they did not have an Aspect who lead them for over 10000 years and weren´t loyal to the point where they would still follow Kalecgos, Ysera´s death removed the only thing keeping them together.

Adding to this, after the Green Dragonflight was disbanded, many green dragons now work with the Cenarion Circle and/or night elves to restore the forests the Horde are burning down.
With a handful deciding that taking action against the bronze dragonflight allied New Horde is a prudent thing to do.

Black Moon Night Elves (including Tyrande) have a similar compulsion to DKs in that they have to cause pain/hurt to others, otherwise they will slowly be driven more and more rabid.
