Lore Tidbits #6

Children are sometimes returned to life by the kyrian to accumulate more anima, but this is not the case for every child as that can cause greater problems.

A warrior may die in battle, but a kyrian can permit them to return if they were facing an enemy that disrupts the link of life and death, such as a necromancer. Considering every other option says that returning a mortal soul to life is incorrect, this seems to be an exception to the rule than any form of normality.

Telling you:
[Brave Companion] [corgi]

Brave Companion says: Woof! Bark! Bark! Bark! Grrrr…

Watcher Jacinthat says: Allow me to translate. This creature fell protecting its master from a pack of wolves, and wishes to return to ensure they are safe.

Return to Life (wrong)

Watcher Jacintha says: It might be painful, but we cannot keep this creature away from their eternity.

Pass to Shadowlands (correct)

Watcher Jacintha says: Indeed, this creature had died a noble death and earned themselves a place in the Shadowlands.

This hero deserved to return aswell…

A freaking Corgi vs Wolves?

Also it seems that Kyrians understand all languages of the mortal races…

Considering they have to deal with pretty much every living species in existence, I assume language translation is an inherent quality the kyrian needed.

I mean sure, but is it inherit or do they have to learn it?

I assume its inherit, sounds awfully hard to learn barkish/growling/doggo, imho :joy:

Kleia instantly understood us, and from what she says, she’s not an Azerothian native. Though it could be that she’s been there a while. But for the sake of simplicity, I’d say it is an inherent trait. Would save kyrian needing to teach every single new soul that goes to Bastion every single spoken language in the universe.

casual reminder than Corgis are sheep dogs and are capable of defending the flock if pressed.

How many corgis do you think you can take in a fight in total?

easy to test. release a corgi on him and keep increasing the amount until he’s no longer able to hold his own

Common is a universal language, so they could just be speaking that. As for the dog I don’t think she knows what it’s saying, but she just understands it on an intimate level.

Genuinely a challenging question, I’d make pretty quick work of a single corgi if left undisturbed but a swarm could well change that dynamic

Jaina has got to be one of the most annoying characters ever written :rofl:
Lore tidbit: Arthas was actually in the right to give Uther a smack down, guy legit said even if he was King he would disobey him then acts shocked when accused of treason? make it make sense.
edit: Gnolls were also a major threat to Stormwind before the 1st war, to the point where they were launching attacks on the city itself, eventually the King had to ride out to redridge to slay the leader Garfang.

According to you, personally I find Thrall and Baine pretty anoying.

This is not a lore tidbit, this is your opinion. Eitherway Arthas was not in the right because he wasn’t King at the time and obviously Terenas disagreed because the Silver Hand still existed when Arthas returned from Northrend.

Also, as a paladin, Arthas should’ve followed the three virtues of the Light (Respect, Tenacity, Compassion) instead of going “Oh bother, these people are sick and are at risk of turning undead, lets not try to heal them and just slaughter them, it’s only the second (or largest) city in the country and the bastion of the Silver Hand, nothing we can’t miss. Also, let’s not ask the King for permission to slaughter his people and just do it, because I’m a arrogant prince that knows better then everyone else”.

Super late per that one guy digging this up, but this is directly contradicted in The Last Guardian.

Medivh and the Order of Tirisfal blocked Kirin Tor from ever reaching its influence in the south, which is why Stormwind has forever stayed outside of Kirin Tor’s sphere of influence while they did influence the politics of the northern kingdoms for generations through court wizards.

Medivh is also the one who helped orchestrate the arrival of the orcs. Also Daval Prestor (Deathwing) is the one who convinced the northern kingdoms not to intervene, making it out to be a plot by Stormwind to gain more power.

Aye my opinion is all, I find her pretty annoying, and tbh same-ish with Thrall dont mind/know enough about Baine to give an informed opinion really, but as regards to the Arthas thing, I dont agree with Arthas’s actions in becoming some Scoure Lord of course hahaha, just that Uther was technically being treasonous imo(the Prince would naturally be in charge without the Kings presence I imagine, could be wrong) n was in need of reminding of his station, but no…Arthas was the bad guy I agree fully haha, but yeah I feel Uther forgot he was Arthas’s mentor not his superior in matters of land/state/decision making ect.

So you think Uther should’ve just helped with the slaughter of uninfected and infected alike in Stratholme???

Honestly, I think Uther didn’t go far enough and should’ve bashed in Arthas’ skull the moment he suggested it, but alas :man_shrugging:

Aye I do, and then discuss it after with the King and Prince, not disobey his Prince in the field and act shocked when he then gets accused of treason lel it was the shock at that accusation I found the oddest part…like bruh you cannot just say to the future king “Even if you was King I would not obey” and think your not going to be accused of treason c’mon, I do believe that wasnt his place, and well as to not going far enough…their fight kinda indicates Uther wasnt capable of doing that anyway.

“I didn’t wanna slaughter a city filled with innocent civilians, I was just following orders”.

Yeah, no. But it’s alright to be wrong.

Yes, Uther lost from frostmourne-weilding, Lich King’s undeath champion Prince Arthas. Doesn’t mean he would lose from Prince “I can barely lift my hammer because the Light, and I subconciously, know am wrong” Arthas.

Yes, actually, it was the objectively correct decision and this support would’ve helped stop Arthas from his downward spiral even though it was a morally reprehensible deed.

The culling was not an option, it was a necessity.

Aye maybe, he may had won against pre LK Arthas, I wont dispute that actually I rescind that comment, no arguement there, as for the moral part…well yeah ofc…slaughtering all those innocents wasnt the moral thing to do I just think in the theatre of war you kinda gotta follow your future King atleast appear to n then deal with your differences in private, I believe he was being treasonous, so find it bizarre he was shocked by the accusation of treason…I feel he over estimated his decision making rights to the future King.
