I´m more then curious and frustraded about the fact that the fate of class orderhalls from Legion are left untold by wow, would blizz bother to give us a quick summary of each orderhall´s end after fall of Sargeras, and what did they do the corrupted artifact weapons as well?
Most disbanded, others continued like they normally would.
DK/DH - Ebonblade/Illidari still exist and continue to do whatever they’re actually doing.
Paladin/Priest - Probably disbanded mostly because they’re still very much Ally centric.
Druids/Warlocks - They’ve never really cared about factions, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still around.
Etc.
I mean it is at least likely you will see more of the Ebon Blade in Shadowlands. Additionally to what Daltor said.
Valarjar are probably chilling again since Odyn doesn´t care about anything.
Earthen Ring is around at the Sword and the Maelstrom.
Unseen Path probably each went their own way again.
Uncrowned probably too each up to their own Heists etc. Taoshi for example is in Pandaria again, Valeera works with Anduin/Baine, Garona for the Horde.
Monks/mages idk never played one.
Granted some members decided to join one faction over the other (Liadrin, Rexxar etc.)
Calia Menethil was resurrected in the Priest Order hall after the fall of the Legion and while touring the uninspiring hall Anduin contemplated on how precious and sweet and nice it was to see the priestly races (IE every race save for the Orcs)) of the world co-exist and work together peacefully in harmony and friendship.
I don’t think we have any info on the other halls but until we have confirmation otherwise I think the best thing to do is to assume that they are all still there.
They exist in the time vacuum that is Legion. Basically every wow expac is its own game making use of the all encompassing name ‘World of Warcraft’
The Cenarion Circle probably left Val’sharah, I mean, most of its forces since the Emerald Nightmare has been dealt with (or has it?!) and the Burning Legion isn’t invading through the Tomb of Sargeras anymore.
Most of them went to heal the wound in Silithus. Some Night Elves went to fight alongside Tyrande.
This. Sadly.
Funny when Malfurion worked so well with the Horde in Legion and in BFA went on a total murder spree at Darkshore, even if he easily could had thought that most had no choice but to follow the crazy warchief number 2.
One of the many reasons people were absolutely disgusted when they played at the start of BFA. A lot of characters had a 180 turn to fit in the faction war narrative. Legions Ending was the perfect opportunity to set the Faction Conflict aside and have atleast the status quo return. Making BFA, the immediate followup, a faction war centered Expansion is so wrong and stupid. I don´t know enough words in english to describe this. just horrible.
sigh Remember how People thought the Uncrowned might actually do something in BfA, since Voss implied that she was on a job? Good times…
I would had loved BFA as much as Legion if execution was more smooth, certain characters should had been left out of conflict due inner struggles with opinions. Malfurion despite losing his home and axed by Saurfang should had contemplated a bit and talk his wife to calm down.
But no, his just a boy toy for Tyrande like what Nathanos is for Sylvanas.
That is a problem with WoW storytelling in general. You have a lot of potential Characters that have to be accounted for at any given time. But the way an mmo is build you only have a very limited amount of “spotlight” for characters to shine in general. I mean it is no surprise that most of the character development and politics etc. has been outsourced to the books that come before an expansion and even in a book you don´t have 10 main characters to learn about their pov.
Malfurion going against the horde is by no means out of character he has always valued the preservation of nature but i agree he would´ve have needed a little bit of exposure where we can see him forming his resolve.
Just think about it WoW has in total 23 Player races that is at the minimum 23 relevant Lore Characters to represent and show in the story thats enough characters to fill 4 or 5 books… take the order halls 12 classes * 7 champions to include = 84 povs give or take.
How we just left the Order Halls after Legion is one of the things that has bugged me the most about BFAs story. Getting those orders up and running was like the pinnacle of class fantasy(for most atleast) and then we just abandon them like they’re nothing and go back to fighting eachother for no good reason.
We didn’t we get our Orders to help fight N’zoth?
Agreed. But they set up the same type of ending for BFA and again nothing is being done with it. Hell, the For Azeroth cinematic ends with Saurfang claiming they’re “Breaking the cycle” sure… when?!
Not sure on other races but think Pandarens will still use the class hall there for training until something can be done, repaired or built new on Pandaria again. But can only say from a pandaren point of view as forgoing the small number that may have joined Horde or Alliance. Most would still be neutral in such affairs, especially warring with each other.
But it’s all up in the air as once again as I agree that Blizzard dropped the ball on this matter which leaves a few empty spaces where lore should be written about it.
They need to better transition from one aspect of an expansion to another so these changes make sense.
Pretty sure the death knights just hammer down beer and listen to the Doom soundtrack.
pssst!! don’t tell everybody!
