Anduin - Son of the Wolf

[Qualia]

Why would they send a mook to kill the kind of SW though?

Commanders are too busy and too important to be sent on such a risky mission.
(sounds forced, I know)

[Daralii]

Anduin leading the Army of Light would suggest that Turalyon dies, right?

[Zandalarian Paladin]

Anduin used Hammer of Judgement to hit the Dreadlord, Paladin confirmed.

What happen when you merge a warrior with a priest? You get a paladin, of course!

Seriously though, he's holy as holy can be. Could he be a hybrid between the two?

[Zandalarian Paladin]

He isn't leading the army of the light, the ending doesn't suggest that i am pretty sure it is illidan who will

Holy Paladin?

Possibly. But he's not wearing any plate armor, whereas Varian was always in full plate, which is why I'm skeptical about him being a paladin.

There's probably way more than one assassin in stormwind. This one just had an opportunity (and was pretty stupid about it), but I bet there's many more.

Talk about surviving, though, I don't see any non-Draenei except Anduin around him in that last page. Are we all dead? Or are we all fighting together with Illidan and these two guys (Velen + Anduin) just hang around in their safe Exodar ship?

GOD DAMN YOU HAHAHAHA

[Zandalarian Paladin]

Maybe he is a sort of hybrid paladin with light armor?

Or maybe neither priest nor paladin. We know Velen is a priest and we know Anduin was his student. But we know his father was a Warrior and he (Anduin) was very close to some Paladins in the lore. The way he materialized a weapon purely out of light may very well make him a totally unique character.

Duuuuuuuuuuudes!!!
His throne is in the EXODAR!!! Do you know what it meaaaaaaaaans?
1/ Stormwind is destroyed
2/ Azeroth is destroyed
3/ Azeroth is occupied by Legion

That last page is awesome.

Or his child is sitting on the throne and he goes to see an old friend, who conveniently owns a throne

[nonameelf]

That's the point, the alliance isn't the same alliance that banded together to fight orcs, they are united as ever now.

Then it's no longer an alliance. The alliance is dead.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

Well, that COULD be Anduin's son. Although in the realm of possibilities, the odds are that it's Anduin and not an heir - his facial structure and hair look way too much like Varian for it to be Varian's grandson.

I mean Anduin's child is sitting on the throne of Stormwind and he goes to ...oh you know

And he's going to be best buddy with Wrathion's cub (although don't ask me how, he's the last black dragon) and everyone will theorize about how the two would form an adorable gay couple.

Speaking of which, that's something else I've spotted.

Anduin has no wife, no child, nobody around him. Could it be that he's going to be the last of the Wrynns?

[thesmall001]

I can't believe this thread is anything other than people agreeing how spectacular Anduin is of a character or how epic that last page transition felt. Blizzard don't often (have never?) flashed forward and to choose to do so to such great effect...

I appreciate how people feel about spoilers but it never made much sense to me. The journey vastly outweighs the destination. One way or another, that will be Anduin's destiny -and I am hyped for that- but seeing him evolve from boy to man to king, now and finally into the Legend he will become is one of the highlights of Blizzard's sum total of writing. The comic showed it to great effect (as the Demon explains) and I look forward to the twists along the way. I look forward to how Anduin will cope with the challenges he'll face.

ME: ILLIDAN
ILLIDAN: what is it mortal
ME: Tell me something, becoming a demon hunter, does it involves ripping your eyes out?
ILLIDAN: yes but a weakling like...
ME: great where do I sign

[Ealyssa]

That literally has nothing to do with that

It actually do. While we don't know what happened to SW/Eastern kingdom/azeroth. It clearly shows that the battlefield moved somewhere else.

The trone is clearly his, it's a human design. But everything else is draenei arround him. That's a pretty huge hint about the potential futur.

Well we know Anduin is a priest, him using Mind Control in MoP is kinda a give away since no other class uses it.
That isn't to say he couldn't be a hybrid of some sort but given he's a main NPC character.... he'll have the ability to do whatever the story needs.

[Essem]

Way too much spoiler about the future for my liking. Its like seeing a movie but you already know the ending, kinda. Its a good read all the way dont get me wrong, but i feel it takes alot away from us aswell with the ending.

I woulda liked following his journey to what i assume will become the most influental alliance charachter in history, without knowing it beforehand what he will become.

I think they are tired of all the bull*t complains about Illidan and they are like STOP COMPLAINING ...WE ARE GOING WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN

The first Human Paladins outside of the super secret order that protected the Holy Paladin artifact were all priests that took up martial weapons. Between his Father training him to Fight and Velen Training him in the light it would be very easy for him to go down that path.

[ro9ue]

Sounds like later on Anduin makes the ultimate sacrifice (his life) to destroy the Legion.

[nonameelf]

The original plan isn't any better than the Illidan plan. Having a chosen one is just bad regardless of who it is.
