One of the more interesting lore rumours I've heard recently is the idea that Thrall is going to become the new Aspect of the Earth, replacing Deathwing.
This got me thinking, wouldn't it be neat if Blizz did this with all the Aspects? And if they did, what major characters would replace them?
My very quickly thought up list with zero justification.
Deathwing replaced by Thrall.
Kalecgos has already replaced Malygos, but it would be cool if Jaina Proudmoore replaced him.
Ysera replaced by Malfurian Stormrage.
Nozdormu replaced by Magni Bronzebeard
Alexstrasza replaced by Sylvanas Windrunner
What do you think?
*edit People seem to be stuck on the Sylvanas as Lifebinder idea. here's how I see it working. Blizzard developes a storyline focusing on the redemption of Sylvanas and all of the Forsaken. Being undead sucks, remember? At the same time, there will be a storyline concerning the coming death of Alexstrasza. These too storylines converge where Sylvanas absorbs the essence of the dying aspect, becoming it.
This single act frees her from the Curse of Undeath and causes a shockwave/chain reaction effect that cures every other Forsaken. Obviously, this scenerio would mean that the undead would no longer be a playable race, so it would have to be an end of game type thing.
