Why doesn't Anduin marry Yrel?

[Schattenlied]

I mean its stills creepy if his early 20s and shes 100s of years old

I disagree, but to each their own.

[DemonHunter18]

Shes currently (at minimum) 28 years older then she was in WoD. Considering anduins not even that old yet shes a fair bit older then him.

that's true.

Anduin might be 18 but he still a kid compared to her.

Given that Draenei naturally live for thousands of years that's not really relevant... So long as they are both consenting adults, there's no real issue there.

aren't Draenei immortal???

[Elim Garak]

But what are the pros for Yrel? I can't think of any.

[Usernameforforums]

Why you assume she’s into guys? She could be into girls.

[Schattenlied]

All we really know for sure is that they are extremely long lived.

It's funny how people, myself including, only pointed out that he is into Wrathion or other women and nobody considered Yrel might not be into men at all!

1. She's a crazed zealot that needs to be put down with the rest of alliance
2. Anduin is what, 16? A bit early for marriage, no?
3. You really wanna leave Wrathion hanging? :/ Anduin and Wrathion are so very obviously written as a gay couple that denying that would actually be forcing straightness

Edit: before anyone says something stupid like "BUT THEY USED TO MARRY AT 13 IN MIDDLE AGES HURR DURR", consider all the other things from the middle ages. Would you like them in-game as well?

Might want to add that Wrathion is somewhere around the age of 5 too.

Anduin stated that he was 18 during the Before the Storm novel, he should be turning 19 or 20 by this time in BFA.

[Seasz]

He's gay...

[Schattenlied]

He's gay...

Books say he has a thing for dwarf and draenei chicks... Meanwhile the "he's gay for Wrathion" thing is just speculation.

[tangers58]

This. Taelia was very obviously created solely to be a love interest for Anduin.

lol no, everything in the game points to Taelia and Flynn.

Oh really? Good to know, this makes much more sense, ty!

As hilarious as that is, dragon age works a bit differently

[Every Pwny]

So when Anduin dies at maybe 80 or 90, would Yrel be the leader of SW for the next 25k+ years?

Only if they didn't have an heir, and lore suggests that draenei and humans should be able to produce offspring.

Why would a prince take over instead of the queen?

Because that's how it works?

A Queen who married into the kingdom is what's known as an Heir presumptive, they inherit the throne only if there is not a Heir apparent to take the throne... A child of the King who had his throne by birthright is an Heir apparent, they have the strongest claim on the throne because their claim is by blood, not marriage.

If the Heir apparent is not yet of age, the Queen would be Regent until such time.

[Blackmist]

If she ever comes to Azeroth she won't be buddy buddy with the Alliance, you realize that right?

I wouldn't know, Alliance haven't fucking seen her since. She only appears for a horde quest.

Yeah but I feel like the Alliance would find out pretty quick what the Lightbound are like when they started trying to forcefully convert every member of the Alliance that wasn't worshiping the Light. So even if they were friendly towards the Lightbound when they first showed up, that friendly relation would fall apart pretty quick... They'd see them as being no better than the Scarlets.

Because she’s a zealot going around wiping out all nonconverted “heathens,” similar to Hitler, in an alternate universe. Meanwhile, Anduin is someone who wants to preserve life and have everyone live peacefully. He is also a priest, so while using the light and trusting in it he, so far, is not a zealot that believes it is the only way and everyone that disagrees with it or him should die.

You know zealotry isn't a bad thing right? It's actually a very good thing to be, however when it's over the wrong thing it is a terrible thing to be.
