What if Xal'atath is about resurrect arthas menethil?

Just curious why shes looking for the

(watching this movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6fBGMft8VA ← its about the forgotten once old gods)

((The idea of Xal’atath resurrecting Arthas Menethil is an intriguing concept within the Warcraft universe, blending elements of shadow magic and the tragic story of the former prince of Lordaeron.

Xal’atath, a powerful Old God entity, has a knack for manipulating fate and power, while Arthas’s journey from hero to villain is one of the most compelling arcs in Warcraft lore. If Xal’atath were to resurrect Arthas, it could lead to a fascinating clash of dark forces and a struggle for control.))

just curious how that would look like the next expack ends and arthas is once more alive and Xal’atath used the dark gods power turning kalimdor and eastern kingdoms in to chaos a chance for a new reworked lord to those continents.

Never gonna happen, Artha’s soul was turned into 35 anima after the Anduin encounter.

Side note@ Admins: Can we please get a rule against these boring “I was too lazy to come up with something interesting myself, so I´ll just copy /paste whatever slop ChatGPT spit out” threads?

Xalatath, as an Old God’s servant, could be the ideal candidate to bring Arthas back—if not in his previous, fully living form, then certainly as a corrupted, powerful instrument of the Void. Xalatath seeks to spread the influence of the Void and unravel the foundations of the universe, and she’s shown interest in manipulating champions of death before (as seen with her interactions with Sylvanas and other shadowy figures).

She could use the remnants of Arthas’ spirit, twisted by Void energy, to manipulate his will or even control him as a pawn. In this scenario, Arthas wouldn’t be resurrected in a traditional sense but instead would return as a twisted, more powerful being. His body could be reanimated, but now infused with Void powers that warp his sense of self, making him a dark servant of Xalatath’s will rather than the once-proud prince he was.

If Xalatath can tap into the remnants of Arthas’ soul, there’s the potential for something far more sinister. A resurrection could happen, but it wouldn’t be a return of the same man. Instead, it could be a corrupted, shattered version of him, stripped of much of his former self and molded into a tool of the Void.

agree i dont know either would be an interesting story though.

imagen undead as voidundeads.

Arthas went out like a fart, his soul is literally gone.

Bottom line, any reanimation of Arthas would only create a soulless husk, a lifeless machine with no capacity for any sort of personal motivation or conscious thought. Just like ChatGPT.

We could call it ArthasGPT :rofl:

yeah :smiley: haha funny i dont why it feels like blizzard will do something after twilight It’s intresting .

No. They butchered my boy already in SL. Let him rest… The best thing they can do is retcon SL completly. And leave Arthas dead “somewhere”.

As for bringing back old, dead characters… I am against that. I prefer they put the time into writing proper toons. Proper new characters we care about.

Instead of resurecting a 30 year old character…

There are no remnats of Arthas’ spirit. He got turned into anime and then evaporated from embarrassment after Sylvans gave him a stern talking to.

Seriously from all the characters you picked the one that is ultra hyper dead.

Yeah, he did. :smirk:

Bring Garrosh back, who needs that soi boy prince…

He got evaporated from cringe as well. Seeing as people keep making this mistake, I will make it a bit easier. Varian and Saurfang are also on the list of super mega dead.

And just for completeness’ sake, so is Gul’dan.

Of all the dead “Fan favorites”, the one most likely to come back anytime soon is Denathrius :wink:

Oh, yes. Pretty much every dead warlock can’t be ressurected. If they didn’t use a soulstone it meant there was no soul left to store.

Unfortunately Shadowlands trivialized death, it made it feel insignificant, which I disliked. Arthas should be left to rest, his story is done. The only thing I’d love to see is a discreet memorial, perhaps close to Invincible’s open grave.

Don’t…

Give Blizzard ideas.

Arthas is gone, reduced to a small puff of blue dust by Blizzard. Let’s not sully his memory anymore by having yet another poorly written “ooooo spooky hidden power female strong character!!” like they did at the conclusion of Arthas’ story because Blizzard just HAD to give Sylvanas the spotlight.

Don’t encourage them to give Xalatath anymore “depth…” by linking a dead character to her.

What’s next? Are they suddenly gonna make Illidan villainous again and be Xalatath’s bootlicking sycophant like Nathanos Blightcaller?

What would bringing Arthas back even achieve? Frostmourne is gone, the helm of domination is gone and those are the things that made him special. You want regular old Arthas back? He was described as a “fine” paladin but nothing too special. So then what is he supposed to do? Rule the ruins of Lordaeron?

No one in the Alliance(or Horde) is going to kneel to Arthas.

Let the man rest! Shadowlands already did enough damage to old characters.

No, it would not. The fact that you even start the sentence up with “I don’t know either”, just goes to show how extremely little there is to work with there.

The fact that they tried to tie in these heavy W3 references in Shadowlands and do this half-assed payoff was the biggest mistake in a long time, lore-wise.

It won’t be salvaged if Blizzard decides to do yet another asspull to try to fix an asspull.

More or less this.
We had that Cinematic where Arthas was that little willow-the-wisp ball of light thingy. Which I think was them laying Arthas to rest in peace.

How so? All we know you just need to die in the Shadowlands one more time before the big mistery starts. And dying once hans’t lost any of its dreadfulness - you still get separated from all your loved ones and what was once dear to you, so I really don’t see the problen so many ppl seem to have with the concept behind SL. :man_shrugging:

Only thing actually trivalizing death would be to bring back dead ppl from SL other than in the form of undead - or those that went directly to the after-afterlive or are there now like Varian, Garrosh and Arthas.
