Nathanos Marris Short Story

[Aucald]

Dark Mirror (Online and PDF)

Backstory and lore concerning Nathanos Marris, champion of the Banshee Queen. Very interesting look into the history of both Nathanos and Sylvanas.

[Friendlyimmolation]

The whole human / elf romances are always disgusting.

Although its nice to see the reason behind his new model. And its nice to see more of his origins.

Edit: Looks like they retconed Kosak's statement that undead are immortal.


Unless Nathanos kept his body in shitty condition.

[Aucald]

Oh guess we made them at the same time?

Very close, would seem. The more the merrier, though.

[Sangris]

Somehow I knew the moment they mentioned his cousin how this would end.

[Trollhammer]

So the Valkyr can reverse the decay of the forsaken but it's is taxing on them.. interesting.. (Not sure if this is mentioned in WoW anywhere i don't play horde currently.

What's with so much attention for this character?! Are they grooming him to be the new leader of the forsaken when Sylvanas will obviously turn into a raid boss?

Eh, tell that to Tolkien.

So much focus? It's 3 pages of text and a new model...

That was exceedingly brutal, all in all. It makes me wonder who exactly was offered up to create the rest of Sylvanas' Dark Ranger followers.

I have to say, I like Sylvanas a bit less now. I generally like her, but that thing really leaves a sour taste.

[Aucald]

Probably any number of High Elven Farstriders from Quel'lithien.

Or perhaps the Forsaken's aid in Ghostlands served an ulterior purpose (one of several in this case).

thats racist

[Friendlyimmolation]

thats racist

not when they are written by blizzard, thankfully Sylvanas died before she had half elves so its not as bad.



Edit: This pretty much confirms That if Sylvanas dies, Nathanos isn't going to stick around

[Lorgar Aurelian]

the flesh stealing is kinda cool i guess nice way to make different kinds of forsaken.

[Largehorn]

Well I guess I'm glad that all three sisters are consistent when it comes to men. Literally.

which means.

Sylvanas will have to stay around for a long time since there's no one else other than Nathanos who could replace her.

Several of the dark rangers in game, including the Anya we see in the story, already existed in Warcraft III as neutral heroes from the tavern, which means they were probably raised by the Scourge and freed by Sylvanas during the retaking of Lordaeron. The new rangers were mostly regular forsaken raised in Cata.

[Kallisto]

Sylvanas did use their aid in the Ghostlands to blackmail Lothremar into helping the Northrend campaign at a time when doing so was deleterious for the blood elves; I always felt that was her primary objective there. After returning from Northrend though I would not be surprised to find out she has used her Val'kyr to raise elven dead as she has done for human dead.

Her reasons for helping Quel'thalas have been told consistently that it was because of her feelings to her former kin. Plus getting elves into the horde would help too.

As for twisting Lor'themar's arm to put the blood elves into Northrend, Thrall mobilized all horde and likely would have had as much harsh words to say to Lor'themar if it was he who went to Quel'thalas and not her.

yes, it angers me they're pushing this more. no hero can just stand on their own, no, they need a fucking stupid ass romance. fucking ruins everything.

i hate sylvanas, i hate her and i hate the forsaken, but giving her a romance ruins a part of her.

but yeah, she's actively killing crusade members. it's far beyond time to kill the forsaken. i wish blizz would nut up and make them their own third faction already, just have the balls and do it, don't give a shit about fan outcry, just do it. have the ability for forsaken players to apply for a free race change if they don't want to leave the horde. there's no excuse for having them in the horde anymore.

You know they will never do this. And im sure Every single forsaken was in on the plan to capture the blightcaller's cousin. Kill them all.
