Why doesn't Anduin marry Yrel?

[Soon-TM]

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.

Maybe the boiking does fancy some aggressive cougar every now and then

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.

It isn't. Zealotry is always a bad thing, because it minds blindly following a path regardless of consequences. Fanaticism is a synonym for zealotry.

[Gamevizier]

I think Yrel ghosted him because our poor zoomer king started the convo with "send hoof pics".

[Thage]

Shes much older then him?

To be fair, this hasn't stopped many characters from getting the footwork in and getting up in them guts where interspecies relations are concerned. Also consider physical aging rates--we have draenei who were from Mac'Aree before the Legion pwned Argus who don't look older than their late 30s. Yrel hasn't aged a day, and it's unlikely she'll show any meaningful aging before she gets a few more zeroes at the end of her age.

Just look at Turalyon and Alleria--the age gap was something she explicitly brought up in the novelization of Beyond the Dark Portal when he tried to give her a reality check about her self-destructive behavior--or Rhonin and Vereesa, who also have an age gap multiple centuries wide, if the Windrunners are all relatively close in age as the lore seems to suggest they are.

Zealotry is by definition extremist thinking permitting one to fall into destructive behavioral patterns. Passion is zealotry without the encroaching madness.

It's more about mature thingy.

Anduin might be 18 but he is still a kid.

Same reason why a 35 year old won't be with someone who is 18.

There are sick cases, yeah, but generally no.

I didn't know the age gap was so big between those couples or even between siblings.


I thought Troll Wars timeline ain't cacon.

It isn't. Zealotry is always a bad thing, because it minds blindly following a path regardless of consequences. Fanaticism is a synonym for zealotry.

I think that's just a defintion that has arisen since the terrorist bombings in New York adn the media sensationalising it. Now all of a sudden fundamentalists and zealots are bad - they are not. THey are highly focused. If what you are focused on is destructive, you will destroy, however if it is not, you're not going to be destructive.

ANd no, Zealotry is not BLINDLY following a path, you could be fully aware of it and totally agree with it. But yes you could be blind, that only applies when you can't see what the actual truth iis rather than not see what another group of people perceive as truth.

You can be a zealot for love, or for Buddhism, or for Christ - none of these actually go committing violent destructive acts. THe priest order hall has Zealots as one of its key ranks, in order to progress in belief or pathyou need to be zealous about it, that is what zeal is, just because the same word can be used to describe a crazy and disillusioned cultist doesn't make it a bad word.

But sure, if you live in western europe or the Americas, it has become a bad word because of the terrorists.

[LemonDemonGirl]

If Anduin can marry, why not Bwonsamdi as well lol

[Blackmist]

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.

Yeah. but it would be pretty neat to team up with somebody, only for them to slowly turn into the Taliban.

As seen in Far Cry 4. And Afghanistan...

I'm getting pretty tired of always being on the good guy side. Where's our badly conceived atrocity?

I suggest you go read some history books. Fundamentalists are always destructive because they consider everything not part of their focus to be bad.

[Hero2Zer0]

Isnt she like the scarlet crusade of AU draenor?

[Lodreh]

Let's think of the pros here
https://i.imgur.com/P52BS13.png
7 feet tall space crusader with an armada of crystal spaceships
She's hot
She can reach the light
Her armour is cool
She has a cool warhammer

Love the linked passage... it shows 13 year old lust not love.

[Lahis]

She isn't into heretics. Anduin wanted to bang dwarves and dragons, so he's clearly in need of purification.

Anduin let Void Elves to march into his city. That reason enough to nuke whole Stormwind from orbit if you ask the Lighbound.

[Varodoc]

Wranduin is still the best ship btw:



Yrel needs to gtfo and leave them alone. She can marry Exarch Hellscream.

[ohiostate124]

Shippers are weird. Wrathion/Anduin is worse than Rey/Kylo.

[Lahis]

Now you made me think what would half-human half-draenei kids look like, if it's even possible

Or other cross race kids

Half Orc/Half Draenei is basically just an Orc with glowing eyes.



Human-Draenei hybrid could have pointy ears (they tend to get those on half-elves) and the same glowing eyes. Maybe some horns or cranial formations.

Human lifespan is under 100 years naturally, though can extend to several hundred if augmented magically.

Draenei lifespan is thousands of years naturally. Velen isn't even the only non-demonized Draenei who has survived since Argus' fell.

In cases like these we probably shouldn't think about the absolute ages of the individuals, but instead whether both parties are considered adults by their respective species' standard.

For petes sake...never hear of the Crusades? Or the Westboro baptist church?

[Playintrafic]

Throw her hooves over your shoulders and you'll be fine.

While I admire your enthusiasm, there is the issue of all the hair.

[Powerogue]

He likes dwarves and space goats. Some people suggest that he likes male dragons too. For sure, he isn't going to marry a human female.

Really? Because it seemed pretty clear from Before The Storm + the alliance side BFA quests they were setting him up with Taelia Fordragon.

[Fewane]

he managed to save Alliance without losing too many soldiers.

I'd like to object a bit to just the end of this sentence, "without losing too many soldiers", after enough cutscenes telling how Alliance has so many of its soldiers and is practically left to recruiting farmers.

Probably by a few thousand years, right? Ew.
