I’ve got one in the wings, waiting.
Oath of the Heretic if my homebrew is allowed, Oath of Conquest if not.
So for D&D Beyond i haven’t had to buy anything, the DM of my campaign had all the resources already and shared them with me.
So it’s not like a fresh player has to drop big bucks on it if I understand correctly.
Happy Old Day

Happy birthday + obligatory “lol old man” comment
As far as I understand, your DM just needs to own the things to use them. But I might be wrong.

AMD drivers update.
Reboot my PC without me telling it to.
Lose my updated TRP3 (luckily saved it to google docs but still).
Then WoW wants to update.

Allow me to support your endeavor by sharing another similar tale but one that could be Sylvanas’s story reflected in a mirror, but actually good. So here we go.
Here are spoilers for Pathfinder Kingmaker
This is the story of Nyrissa, a Nymph whose goal was to merge the First world, the god’s first draft of this plane into the material plane (Golarion). The first thing however is to ascend as an Eldest, basically the most powerful existence in the first world capable of shaping it to their will. These demigods aren’t particularly keen on another contender and so The Lantern King takes her down a peg.
Now before I go on, it is useful to talk about Nyrissa’s personality. She’s bright, cheerful, beloved by her Fey sisters and it is reciprocate. One of them however does warn her about how she’s trifling with a balance that the Eldests have established (They’re chaotic beings but even they don’t necessarily want to meddle in each other’s affairs) but does get her support. Nyrissa’s goal here was simply to create a create/own a realm for herself and her sisters with the power level of Eldest. This is before the Lantern King.
When the Lantern King does remind her of her place, he demands an apology… But this ‘Apology’ comes at the price of a thousand Kingdoms that she must lay to ruin. The chalice, Redemption contain grains of sand, each grain represent a fallen Kingdom, its pain and fallen ones but it’s also power the Lantern intends to sip from. To urge her to be more motivated about this task, the Lantern King robs Nyrissa of her ability to love, literally, it transforms into an item called the Briar and it is all that represents Nyrissa’s ability to love, feel compassion, positivity. This gives her great efficiency while also dangling a carrot in front of her.
So she does so, Nyrissa eradicates all realms through manipulation, deception, lies. All the while her sisters who were bound to her fate have been twisted terribly and she abused them. They were more minions than sisters at this point, being emotionally incapable of feeling warm feelings anymore, Nyrissa saw everyone as a tool.
Fast foward many centuries later, you the player turn up into the Stolen Lands, a realm of Golarion knowns to never have had a solid ruler for long, it’s a wretched hive of scum and villainy. You become her next victim as you climb up the ladder from filthy adventurer to Baron of your own domain and finally a King with a Kingdom that has enough power to make your neighbors dump bricks from their rears’ end whilst unwittingly doing her bidding. By the time you meet her, Nyrissa’s Kingdom kill count is 996, you provide the 4 remaining.
- You destroy the Kingdom of Bandits of the Stag Lord, who also was one of Nyrissa’s manipulated soul.
- You destroy the Tiger Lords Barbarian tribe by defeating its chieftain Armag the Twice-Born, he too was manipulated by the Fey sisters Nyrissa had gotten infiltrated in the Barbarian tribe.
- You destroy the Kingdom of Pitax, the King was very much like the player in this instance but he was fully aware of the situation but all the same he prefers to kill you rather than him being killed.
Only your Kingdom stands, your Kingdom alone will be the last grain to fulfill the Apology.
Now this is where I say that this branches on how you play and the decisions you make but here at the constants whether you go for a good ending or a bad ending concerning Nyrissa. Nyrissa also seeks the Briar by the time you create your baronny but the King of Pitax, Irovetti finds it first and experiments on it… In the meantime you find more and more hints showing Nyrissa’s circumstances, all the while as you’re adventuring you discover furthers pieces of cruelty from Nyrissa on a small-scale but also on large-scale as she seeks to destroy your kingdom few examples being :
- Destroying an entire village where Fey creatures and humans were coexisting in peace, even got married and procreated.
- Using undead Cyclops and Ogres to lay ruin on your Kingdom.
- Creating a bio-magical weapon in the form of seeds in the water supplies that blooms Alien style from people killing them while also wrecking havoc and spreading fear.
- Manipulating a cult here to simply create unease in your kingdom and urge the populace to demand for your head.
- Did I also say Mass genocide?
In short, she’s a nasty piece of work but it has been established that this was the result of her circumstances with the Lantern King and that missing piece of her very being that she could so easily go about it. Besides, the Lantern King here is just… Treating the Drama unfolding in Nyrissa’s life and the people she influences as Netflix, yes this is for real, he even gets involved in order to extend the amount of fun he’s having, Nyrissa’s curse bind her to him and she’s merely his relunctant puppet who wishes to be free from his grasp.
Bad ending :
If you’re incapable of forgiving Nyrissa or feel the rightful vindication of a thousand suns, you can kill Nyrissa in your final confrontation with her because she simply has killed too much. However you can also spare her but that changes nothing in her cold and calculating attitude, you become allies of convinience as you’re the only existing power with enough strength to vanquish a Demigod. When the game comes to an end, you can continue this alliance by becoming her agent of sort, in immortality or you can leave her to her fate and move on with your own life and she continuously battles the Lantern King and dies countless times, seething forever more in her curse (Feys don’t die for real, they get weaker after each death though).
Good ending :
If you played your cards well, played the Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic good type of King/Queen you can romance her. Ah yes, there’s this important detail about the Briar. It can only be accepted by someone who feels true love towards Nyrissa (We’ll bang ok?) and only then will she feel whole… Besides if you do the romance well, you catch glimpses, moments where Nyrissa, even without the Briar feels some level of empathy towards the player and dread their final confrontation, you can even talk her out of the fight through the romance. Through your coupling you proceed to find a solution to breaking her curse and even turning it against the Lantern King.
And with that, you get the good ending, accomplishing Nyrissa’s goal of merging parts of Golarion with the first world, you become chad King/Queen and Nyrissa proceeds to repent by helping the Kingdom prosper with you at her side.
Now, I don’t think I need to point the similarities with Sylvannas here but if they had ever intended on giving her the redemption path… It’s far too late, that sort of ground must be pre-established not thought at the bloody last minute and using outside media instead of the game to do it.
Blizzard is too incompetent to even copy someone else’s homework or too far up their own arses to think that there is actually better material they could steal from.

Happy birthday!
I’d call that a good omen. You have been blessed by all the thunder aligned deities.
A great aunt of mine had a volcanic eruption on hers, which, I think we can all agree is a bad omen.

I never got told if it was a local volcano or elsewhere in the world.
Should probably mention the aunt in question lives on Iceland like the majority of my maternal relatives.

Night elven females still freeze in place when sitting on the ground or in chairs, their animations ceasing to loop and turning them into statues.
This has been an issue since the model rework in WoD and no end is in sight, the ability to report such and offer advice having been removed.
