Durotar’s climate is really weird, honestly.
It’s a sandy desert, but it’s next to the ocean and it gets snow.
Forsaken refugees, of which there are quite a few now for obvious reasons, could feasibly stay there without as much of an issue as people think.
It being cramped is valid, though. That place was already accomodating four and a half factions before UC got brapped on.
Venturing into the murky depths of pedantry, I’d always thought Durotar was a hot, rocky desert. There isn’t that much sand about. It’s all red rock, stones, gravel and dried earth.
… I didn’t realized it snowed though? I guess it’s possible in the mountain peaks, maybe?
What’s the source?
Also, do Forsaken even feel cold and heat?
I swear some of the NPCs complain that the heat or dust is irritating their joints.
Are Forsaken just old people?
I could swear that the 9.1.5 weather effects added snow to Orgrimmar in place of rain, but I can’t for the life of me find any evidence of it. Everything I look up about those effects just show Stormwind.
As for the effects of temperature on the Forsaken, while they can’t feel the actual humidity or the chill in the wind, heat would affect the way their body rots, so… you need a good climate to prevent that.
It snows there? Well it snows in high altitude areas in Syria and stuff but thats cope
Unless you’re speaking of Winter’s Veil which is client side as far as i know. I would put it down to a Winter’s Veil Miracle/magic if acknowledging it IC
“Feeling” varies from each forsaken - majority do not feel much
however warmer areas tend to rot things faster and i wont go into detail about the extreme heat on an undead body. Lets just say Northrend is like a giant freezer and its nice.
yeah but necrotic magic kinda negates typical weather related rot I imagine, but then again Im not exactly a master Lich/Necromancer in real life, so Im just chatting breeze based off assumptions here.
Undercity was explicitly described as a damp place full of fumes unpleasant to the living, confirming my old headcanon so I don’t forget that forsaken in exile complain about orgrimmar’s dry conditions despite their old home being the ideal place to rot down to the bone in a couple of weeks.
Some rot resistance is in place by magic™ but they can also regenerate via cannibalism so they’re sort of stuck in that moldy bread stage of undeath.
Maggoty bread* (For three stinkin years)
“Yeah! Why can’t they have some meat?”
Forsaken looks at Vulpera.
“What 'bout them? They’re fresh.”
We are not for eetin
“What about their legs? They don’t need those. Ooh! They look tasty!”
