"The boy-king serves at the master's table. Three lies he will offer you"

btw from where this thing appeared, that the evil bosses know everything, and know the future?

Same thing as Varimathras. He told us in a raid about the future that did happened to Sylvanas. But how could he knew? He just an demon who was sitting in prison for many years. . .

He was her majordomo for a lot of years in Undercity so he probably knew all of her plans and that Sylvanas didn’t care one bit about the Horde or the Forsaken, so both Sylvanas and Varimathras kept lying to everyone in the Horde since Vanilla, until Varimathras decided to betray her anyway…Dreadlords can’t be easily controlled like that, it’s always better to kill them like Illidan did with their world

I don’t think Sylvanas plans go all the way back to when Varimathras was actually alive.

There are several novels that clarify her inner thoughts regarding a wide range of things, including being promoted to Warchief, and it’s clear she didn’t want nor plan half of this.

So unless Blizzard outs some heavy retcons, her current goals and motives are as new as BfA itself.
Even before the storm has her thinking how she did NOT want the position she ended up having.
And even has her cursing the Loa for it, further highlighting that if there is certainly some entity pulling the strings, she is certainly not aware of it.

Those that are atuned to the void can glimpse all posible futures. Writers use that to tease us about what might happen. About the boy king the lies is the propcecy his existance and the first lie are stated as facts

I don’t think Bolvar/The Lich King would be so eager to put Sylvannas in a position of power. She hated Arthas, and the worry would always be there that she would carry that hostility over towards Bolvar.

Bolvar’s still Bolvar, he’s not stupid. Maybe he does know who did it, but I doubt he had any involvement in it. As for him being the Boy King, I don’t know. There’s a lot of story revolving around the morally questionable nature of the Light and when you have Anduin screaming the Light’s praises all the time it does make you think. Anduin being the Boy King also links into the Thousand Years of War interpretation of the Light’s perception of destiyn and how they only see one truth before them. In Anduin’s pursuit of that he could end up telling some lies for the betterment of the Light, maybe as a result of those bell pains he’s been getting since Pandaria and in Before the Storm.

we know he will live though thanks to the comics so making anduin a bad guy would be hollow they still has not retconned son of the wolf

This doesn’t mean Anduin will be a bad guy, probably more misunderstood. The Old Gods like to twist things to make it seem like people’s allies are actually enemies, which is why they refer to their trickery regarding Magni him being “made a pawn”; to make us think that he’s a bad guy and to turn us against one another.

Anduin doesn’t have to be bad for any of this to make sense.

still think you have a better chance of thrall becoming a void priest then anduin the god emperor of humanity turning even perceptively bad
