Players resurrected by Azeroth?

[Nemui]

Don't know if it's been previously mentioned, but can the lore reason for resurrection of players be because of a connection to Azeroth that maybe all born on Azeroth have?
Could the resurrection spirit be a depiction of Azeroth?
And counter argument for death on Draenor/Outland/Argus is that one's soul's connection to Azeroth transcends time and distance.

[Nemui]

Sorry for not mentioning it, but I was just speculating. Someone mentioned on the Planets, Titans, World souls thread about denizens connection to their planets world soul could be more than we know, and it got me thinking. And it's a similar thing with Argus and demons dying there I think?

No, they are val'kyr who chose to stay behind in the Shadow Lands, to help people. https://wow.gamepedia.com/Spirit_Healer

Could have sworn i read some where that we use the same method demons use but for Azeroth. Sargeras or someone evil can’t remember where person states we only keep coming back alive cause were draining the lifeblood from Azeroth.

Why people do have to justify every gameplay thing by lore? Azeroth is not ressrecting anyone, ressurection is PURELY GAMEPLAY, it has no other justification than to allow players to continue even after they character dies, that's all, nothing more, nothing less.

Sure.

If that's the case then we're doing it unknowingly i guess? Whereas with the demons and Argus it all seems very much purposely.

Well they came up for a Lore Reason in the Chronicle.

We are essentially Azeroth's antibodies so if they ever decide to justify resurrection in lore (Which I hope they never do) i'd say that the whole World-Soul helping us return is a possibility

The player character interacting with spirit healers, besides a quest in Azshara (maybe another one that I forgot), is just for gameplay reasons. There are some valk'yr scattered around the world, but they are rare and it would probably have a complete different depiction of how they take people out of the shadowlands in lore than how it is shown ingame.

The player character is completely mortal and there has never been an indication we are not, besides demon hunters who would still die on argus.

If we as players somehow have been able to come back tons of times without outside help, why would it just be us having that ability and not characters like Uther, Varian, Cairn? And more importantly how would Orcs and Draenei's have that link? If they end up writing us as having these abilities it would be very inconsistent and pretty lame (Seriously, no more "chosen one" stories, even if it's the player.)

Cuz Blizzard decided for some reason that they would imprint it into the lore in Chronicles for some weird ass reason. So our characters death's and resurrections are actually canon now for some reason.

So in short LFR really is killing Azeroth!

Reposting this cause people seemingly ignored it.

LMAO, great comment!

[Zhinco]

What about alien races like Draenei and Orcs, who were not born on Azeroth?

[Combatbutler]

Those who die on Azeroth are brought back by Val'kyr who rebelled against Odyn and did not join Helya.

I do wonder about that too. To be honest the only real children of Azeroth that should get it are Trolls and Night Elves as they are in a round about fashion natives of her soil.

Everything is either alien or Titanforged and basically foreign to her.

[whyabadi]

It would make most sense for the Old Gods to resurrect us actually.

[ThrashMetalFtw]

Resurrection is so rare lorewise that you might aswell say that it's not really a thing.

Player char corpse runs is pure gameplay, for obvious reasons.

[Pandragon]

Player resurrection has no lore. It doesn't exist. Lore-wise, we have never died, us resurrecting is only for gameplay.

Don't try to introduce lore into that cause on Argus we got Naaru as spirit healers and at invasion points we again got valkyrs .... so just take it for what it is.
