The Ebon Blade's new Four Horsemen (massive spoilers)

[Deleted]

I fear that Blizz will handle this Tyrion thing badly as usual. The idea is good, but if paladins don't retaliate it will be just a big joke.

I expect it go this way:
Tyrion "don't worry my ex-brothers, i'm fine with being undead"
Argent Crusade "ah, k, then we won't retaliate on the ebon blade".

[Ealyssa]

I still think , if this comes to pass, there should be an confrontation between the two orders , if there wont be any , the blizz screwed up.

Make no sense. The new horseman is a free willing position. If Tirion is becoming a DK by its own will who the fuck has the autority to go against his choice ?

That they wont like it is obvious. But going to war against Acherus would be the dumbest act ever. Especially coming from paladin, who are pretty much aware of what the demons are and the legion threat to Azeroth.

People thinking that argent cursade should attack DKs are stupid, period. It makes no sense.

What would make sense if after Legion is done and the threat over, the Paladins demand the release of Tirion back to eternal rest and his body returned to Light Hope, either Tirion or the Ebon Blade is reluctant to do so for one reason or another, the Paladins takes this as a sign that Tirion's mind had been corrupted and not completely of his own will, and THEN attack the Ebon Blade with the goal of 'freeing' Tirion.

You are forgetting , that the dks will have to break into the paladin class hall and probably battle their way thru it to get to Tirions body. Unless blizz will makes us have a nice lovely chat with a cup of tea with Maxwell Tyrosus and convince him to get the body off of him. The body of his friend , that he just laid to rest. Whatever way blizz will try to set it up , it will either suck, make no sense or both.

Similar to why the paladins never attacked Sylv, we'll never see any faction interaction regarding this.

The Horde doesnt care Nazgrim is a DK
The Alliance doesnt care that Thoras is DK
The Silver Hand doesnt care that Tirion is a DK


They should. But it'll never be mentioned.

Is that even possible? I thought once u become a deathknight your soul is damned for an eternity. Im not sure , if u can be redeemed.

What? No. Alexandros Mograine was redeemed.

Yes , but we dont have to break into the paladin class hall to take the body of Nazgrim or Thoras. Unlike Tirion , The Horde and Alliance dont really care about those two , that died ages ago(for Thoras). I imagine it would be different , if the body of Thoras was in Stormwind.

[Ealyssa]

They should. But it'll never be mentioned.

Why would they ? As long as they aren't forced into becoming powerfull DKs, why should they act against it ?

That some groups dont like DKs is understandable. But the ebon blade is a force of good. They stand with the alliance and the horde against the worst foes of Azeorth and are certainly more trustworthy than the forsaken for exemple.

Darion is a sound commander of a great order. Their is absolutly no reason to attack them because "herp derp I dont like that our dead hero freely choose to join them".

I think, given the circumstances of Azeroth being destroyed by the Burning Legion, the other factions are going to be able to overlook some of the world's greatest heroes being brought back to (consentually) give a helping hand.

I don't really expect them to survive into future expansions, I'd expect them to be allies as some kind of reverse horseman style raid boss mechanic and let them die their final death after they fulfill their purpose.

Tirion
Nazgrim
Taylor
Cairne(probably too rotted at this point tbh, but would be cool)Insert Varion/Voljin here if they are dead.

They could do it as the original Death Knights were, and insert Dead Orc or (Insert random race here)'s souls and shove them in dead Humans bodies much like Terron Gorfiend was.

[steelballfc]

Can seriously anyone stay dead in this game ?

No
you must die at least 3 times
before you die as spirit form

[Immitis]

well, the ebon blade might have some trouble coming their way after legion if theyre really raising tirion

Meh, I could see it be a side arc in a post-Legion book, probably focused on Tirion and his undeath days.

[steelballfc]

the Horde doesn't care about anything really

At the costs of the soul of his son. How many sons Tirion has left to save his soul?

[Treno]

I was dismissive towards people filling the spots with random big names making zero sense. But I always trusted that maybe a single top-tier was going to fill the leading figure of the bunch.



Tirion, unlike most of the suggestions made long ago, makes quite sense.

Because MU Grom or Doomhammer, both of whom either made great sacrifices for their people and would understand the weight of the burden of being a horseman make little sense .

Now that I've made my, albeit moot given the recent news, point, back on topic.

I agree in a purely logical sense. But if the real world is any indication, people don't need a logical reason to attack a group, just an emotionally fueled half-truth.

You didn't. I proved to you my own past words about a single top tier, that's excatly what we got, a huge name as leader of the horsemen (since Tirion is going to be the last and most important) which, compared to all the other suggestions, is the one that makes the most sense and by a huge margin as well.

[Deleted]

Who the fuck is Tyrion? What, did Warhammer and Warcraft finally have a cross over? I mean, not that I'm even upset, I'd just would have liked to know.

Who said it has to be a son?

Tirion was chosen by the Lich King to be his champion and almost became the Lich King himself. A chosen champion and former Ashbringer it's the perfect fit for the Horsemen.
