For those who don't remember, Ariok is the song of Eitrigg. He travels with us to Draenor and helps everybody escape the eye of Kilrogg. But we still get spotted so Ariok transforms himself and attacks Kilrogg giving us time to escape.
We don't know what his fate is.
But we have seen Kilrogg since then:
Before we escape Tanaan
Then at Mok'gol Watchpost
Then in the cinematic where he drinks the blood
We can presume Ariok was either killed by Kilrogg and his men or taken captive.
Now, knowing Blizzard Ariok will probably be a raid boss in his transformed form that we kill. In the process killing another son of a famous Horde character.
I rather think that the Horde is missing now a proper Orc leader. In fact, there is NO ORC present in the Horde leadership today.
I would want to see Ariok helping us in 6.2 and being developed as a future warchief. He has shown his selflessness, he has strength, he believes in honor, he is the son of a fierce warrior and Horde legend.
What do you guys think will happen with Ariok?
