I mean, it’s just a set of really cool looking armour. Provided you’re not claiming that it’s the armour of Silvermoon’s big dick champion, there’s not really any concern. It’s not iconic like the Ashbringer or the Doomhammer, it’s just another piece of customisation for a game where its players have very little to work with. Suspension of disbelief my dudes.

Which means that my blood elf paladin, who was also Highlord of the Silver Hand, can easily wear this set. I mean: That’s the lore.
Nope, it was done canonically, by “A champion of Silvermoon”.
Lots of NPC’s do stuff canonically, even if they are done by players too. See, original Deadmines were done (by far and large, save for edvin Van-cleef & Mr. Smite) by a couple of NPC’s in the Bloodsail story in the Warcraft: Legends for one.
Which tbf could also be used for rp, just say its an ordinary hammer with a frostwolf symbol and not… the doomhammer
Correct! If your roleplay character is the playercharcter, who went on to be the leader of the Order Hall, and all that cool stuff, then yes! Because that is who was awarded the regalia.
Yeah I thought that as I hit reply, shh.
Well, i don’t know about anybody else but my blood elves are definitely that. Including my DH.

It was done by the person we control. The same person who was Order Hall champion, Garrison Commander, the person doing all the quests on Zandalar etc etc. Because that is who we play as. That same person was then called “Champion Of Silvermoon” by Lor’themar on completion of the questline. We don’t magically control a thousand different individuals who each did one quest in Nazmir.
Could be! Could also have been done by a NPC.
And again, you are falsely assuming that your guy is the guy who has done all these things- Wherein before, I’ve proven that actually your guy couldn’t have done all the feats IC because some of them were done by the opposite faction.
The quests only requirement is that you are revered with silvermoon, and that you have a high enough level. Again, as the truth is that NPC’s do questlines with PC’s in the game, you’re wrong.
I will then proclaim, the next time I roleplay, that I am the Highlord of the Silver Hand and I will start to order around all the other paladins in Stormwind or somewhere else. And if they ignore me I will call them out on bad roleplay, because after all I am the one who follows the lore.
We have reached critical mass in terms of stupidity.

For a clear case of “players do stuff but it was actually NPCs”, you can look at Onyxia - players killed her, but canonically it was Varian, Jaina and a few others.

I’m sure you’re trembling at the glee of wanting to be right at going through a hyperbole for your argument but even that doesn’t work out in the end because the game’s own lore and the way how NPC’s work party rock you.
It certainly beats the HM set by a country mile.

I identify as the Champion of Silvermoon, hence my character title Telaryn of Silvermoon, obtained from the Argent Tournament where Telaryn once debuted IC.
nothing personnel kid…

Y-You realise I’ve been saying this earlier in the thread, right? That the way we see the raids isn’t canon because lorewise it was other people? You dismissed my point about it earlier.
Until lore says it was anyone else, the lore is that it was the player character because that’s what we’re shown.
If you wish to RP as the Highlord of the Silverhand, that’s perfectly fine in my book. Doing so publically is a social faux pa however, but not necessarily badrp.
I’ve been saying this for a while.
I didn’t dismiss it- It held no value for the argument, that’s all.
I’m just correcting you on your own statements.
OR an NPC, because that’s the lore too.
Guess you can always tweet at them if it bothers you!
Except that you haven’t.
Loras of Stormwind once represented his homeland at the tournament. Perhaps the two aspiring champions exchanged lances at the jousting one bright afternoon…

Where is the lore that it was an NPC and not the player character who did the questline? Cite your source.
Except I have. Several times I’ve said that the Alliance did Sunwell and not the Horde, despite the fact that the Horde can do it ingame. Gameplay and lore do not always line up which is the point I was making.
“Champion of Quel"thalas”
The player isn’t the only champion of Quel’thalas
The requirements are that:
You have to be high enough level
You have to be exalted with your faction (Silvermoon).
Both are possible for NPC’s, so.
Now, if it was indeed Lor’themar calling them out as “the guy who wielded x artifact” for example, then it’d been different, but it wasn’t.
By the way…
