Because of course the rulers of Stromgarde and Kul Tiras have nothing better to do than personally train students of a race they only just learned about.

What I have to ask is this:
Has anyone seen any spoiler content that depicts Thrall, at all? Regardless of grumbling about the Horde or the Alliance, itās pretty alarming that one of the front-and-centre characters who is on all of the promotional material doesnāt seem to be appearing much at all in this expansion.

Ever since Jaina became Lord Admiral, how long has she actually spent at home taking care of state matters and actually -ruling- her country? Maybe those few years during the timeskip? During BfA she was too busy fighting the Horde, in Shadowlands she was mostly running after Anduin after being kidnapped. Iām presuming she actually did some ruling during DF aswell.
Inb4 he gets the Shadowlands Baine treatment, cursed to sit in a corner throughout the whole expansion.

Thrall wanted to go on the adventure but his baby woke up and now heās onto his thirtieth episode of Hey Duggee while making the most batpoo crazy noises to keep their baby occupied while watching the entire roster of Alliance characters since 2007 have fun out the window.

I mean, I would like to see more of Thrall! (And other Horde leaders like Thalyssra and Lorāthemar Theron). But I do find it kinda neat heās out there doing Shaman stuff, even if its way less then what I want him for! Heās the Shaman, atleast he should be at the forefront of helping Alleria and co defend their home and world against the Void!

The monkey paw curls ominously.
My tinfoil hat theory is that Thrall was only written into TWW after Metzen came aboard, while 11.0 was already heavily into development.
One hole in this theory is that heās in the cinematic, and we know cinematics take a long time to produce. Adding some story quests involving Thrall would probably be a lot easier than making a cinematic with him.

Apparently, the first thing Metzen did after his return was write the cinematic, so itĀ“s possible Thrall was his addition entirely.

A more tinfoil hat conspiracy theory is that Danuser was planning on killing off Thrall in the War Within, which Metzen vetoād when he came in and as a result, thereās a weird void of Thrall content.
But thereās nothing to support that at all. Itās more likely that Metzen pushed Thrall when he rejoined the company.

Talking about heroes who appear or donāt appearā¦ AndI know youāll have Night Elf-fatigueā¦ BUT shouldnāt atleast Malfurion appear as the Druid of Azeroth?
He was already shoved aside during the Emerald Dream patch in favor of a overgrown giant gecko whoās story had already ended, contributed nothing, and had already had her title and rank passed on to her daughter.
For once I would like Malfurion to actually (help) save Azeroth in the actual game instead of in books !

I feel like they pretty definitively said at the end of 10.2 that Malfurion and Tyrande are taking a vacation.
If you need Druids, thereās plenty of Druids to go around to be fair. Dreamsurges have Hamuul ordering you around for example.

When Alleria divorces him itās going to be all over.
Extremely stupid funny to have him talk about Horde savages like this when we just had a short story where he was in a Horde capital. Yeah yeah, elf vs. orc, whatever, but if thatās his standard attitude toward orcs it makes his presence in a Horde city all the stupider. BElves are still Horde, if Turalyon is being racist against them just in casual conversation they should probably politely show him the door.
Also reminder that racists go to the Maw. He better not die before reforming

Some people will ship it.
Seeing your wife of 1000 years leave you for the barefoot Harbinger of the Void puppeting an elf corpse will drive a man to madness.
And in that madness, he finds solace in steel.
No, not steelā¦Iron.
