Imagine losing your summoned servants. Silly mages.

How are those permanent infernals and doomguards lookin’ down there? Dont see many observers of late either! curious!

Well, y’see, turns out that tasking imps on sorting books wasn’t the brightest idea given how they’re perpetually on fire.

Wasn’t the lore also that young children, elderlies, people who had been sick/wounded died in the aftermath of the Sunwell’s destruction? Because the thalassian elves do need magic to live but healthy adults can compensate in other ways/endure more than the vulnerable ones?

I think it was a quote from Kael’thas but I cannot remember the detail of it and so I trust your memory.

Indeed, though it was specifically the Sunwell’s corruption that was killing them off because the elves are inherently bound to the well. The young, the elderly, and the sick were dying from the necrotic corruption so Kael’thas had to destroy it even if it meant his people’s addiction would go unmanaged.

The necrotic corruption was killing everyone but the young/sick/elderly were specifically called out as dying from the addiction after Kael blew up the well too.

Tragically Kael’thas soon learned that the greatest danger to his people was posed not by the Scourge, but by the Sunwell itself. The corrupted powers of the well still permeated not only the elves, but all that they had built. Given enough time, the vile necromantic energies would kill the elves and spread an incurable poison throughout the surrounding land.

Kael’thas painfully concluded that the Sunwell, the heart of their society, must be destroyed.

[…]

Although the Sunwell’s threat was ended, Kael’thas could not have foreseen the effect its loss would have on his people. The elves suffered terribly from withdrawal, for many of them had been infused with the arcane energies of the well all their lives. Only in the absence of the Sunwell did the blood elves come to realize how addicted they had grown to its powers. Over time the elves grew ill, and the youngest and oldest among them died. Determined to find a cure for his people’s crippling addiction, Prince Kael’thas sought a renewed source of arcane power, and he soon fell into the service of the demon Illidan Stormrage.

It’s pretty crazy how the Sunwell has soon went through the entire cosmology chart safe for nature.

I’m sure glad there aren’t any nature-aligned people being introduced with Midnight, huh?

In the Nexus-Point Xenas dungeon, we don’t just fight Lothraxion - we kill him.

Guess he just had to much Wrath in him, so we sadly couldn’t unwrath him to save him.

Luckily the Void doesn’t have this kind of problem and there are creatures of the Void or infused with the Void just living there best lives :roll_eyes:

“Without a strong warlord to unite them, the Dark Horde will scatter and no longer be a threat!” - Eitrigg

Apparently one of the quests (Arator? Arcantina?) Sinds you to kill the local leader of the Dark Horde again in Blackrock Mountain. How they got there? How are they a threat again? Why would they scatter when they can just unite under another, new leader again? Just don’t ask to much questions :weary_face:

Wiah they woukd just stop pretending like the Dark Horde could even still be a thing and roll them up in the Horde already, hell in the Orc Heritage Quest, Eitrigg is the leadsr of the Blackrock Orcs, no?

They live there. - Personally, I hope it remains unresolved, prefer Blackrock to be in a state of tug-of-war between remnants of whatever bad lives there.

there’s a finite number of demon names, bound to happen

If we’ve learned anything about blizzard in the last few expacs it’s that they find writing about progression too hard. Easier to just skip ahead to the results.

Thought that quote was about to go in a very different direction for a moment. THERE MUST ALWAYS BE * omnious lightning strike * A WARCHIEF.

The Arcantina doesn’t send you to kill the leader of the dark horde it sends you to go check up on someone who is watching Blackrock to make sure the dark horde aren’t up to anything and then he challenges you to a friendly duel because he’s super bored. No idea on the Arator quest line, ignored basically everything about it.

Dreadlords make a habit of not actually dying, so whether he’s permadead or just buggered off for a bit is a big ? still.

Yes, and so do the remnants of the Chromatic Dragonflight, the remnants of the True Horde, which are also the remnants of the Iron Horde, scattered remnants of the evil parts of the Black Dragonflight, Ragnaros Cultists and the actual Dark Iron Clan.

The mountain is full.

(Because if the Dark Horde can survive that long, I can confidently say the remnants of the True Horde must also still be in there somewhere!)

Rent must be cheap if everyone is living there.

Insert, “you can’t kill an idea” aaaah scarlet speech here :clown_face:

Watch as next up, blizzard will introduce the Blue Dawn, a new faction comprised of all the old horde enemies, like the venture co, dark horde, iron horde, true horde, and the burning blade, all together now to be overtly racist towards the alliance. they work for Saurfangs, aunit’s friends sisters cousin twice removed on his fathers side.
