Blizzard haven’t even confirmed Lor’themar will be involved with the Dragon Isles story, so why change his title randomly?
All we know, at this point is that the Dragon Isles will have a heavy allied race presence. In a video talking about classes, I did catch Nightborne, Zandalari and Dark Iron fighting together beating some elementals.
Apparently, Ysera’s coming back in DF : https://www.wowhead.com/beta/spell=383510/activating
Makes me wonder about Vol’jin ? Is he coming back too ?
Also, it seems like the Dragonkin largely stayed behind when the Isles were sealed away, and they’re kinda pissed at the dragons for not acknowledging the 10k years they spent doing maintenance work :
I also like that the Dragonkin are fleshed out a bit. From what we had seen of them up until now, that is to say them being basically unquestioning servants of the Dragons, they might as well had been mere SL-type constructs
Tbf, 10.000 years is alot of time to be thinking and make their own culture and lives.
The dragonspawn and drakonid we see beyond the Dragon Isles have just never needed to make their own culture or think for themselves because their draconic masters were always around to lead them.
Not that I’m aware of. I’m fairly optimistic though, since him and Ysera both died in Legion, and Ysera is coming back ; surely they needed the same amount of time resting in Ardenweald before getting sent back to Azeroth ?
I hope not. He has basically nothing to offer a dragon centric story so having him return in Dragonflight, when nobody needs him so he can squat around like Baine is wasteful.
Not sure if Erevien really cares for having Vol’jin back as a character, I think he wants him back as leader of the Darkspears, or Loa of the Darkspears and Zandalari (a vengeful and powerful troll leader/Loa that can get revenge against Jaina and Kul Tiras for their attack)
just for that, not really because he likes Vol’jin more than Rokhan and Talanji imo…
If i had to guess it’s more about getting rid of the whole council of cucks thing than anything else. Which is fair enough i don’t like the idea of red aliance either.
Honestly, unless it’s directly related to the reliquiary or EL i would prefer if the racial leaders just didn’t appear, without a damn good reason to be there, as a racial leader or to resolve some personal thing AHEM Baine AHEM
