Anduin's Lies

[Syegfryed]

Figured Calia's child is Taelia with Bolvar.

i think they already put that off, the timelines don't make sense.

Which timeline is that? Calia's older than Arthas, and Bolvar was in Lordaeron at the time, so it would make sense for Taelia to be born before WC3. Is there some other event that doesn't line up with that?

Warrior Queen Taelia

Taelia Warrior Princess? Seems like it could be the basis for a good show

I think the "boy king" is actually Wrathion. Anduin is actually a young man, not a boy, while Wrathion is still a boy in dragon years and is the king of the black dragons. Plus we already know he has troubles with the void and the old gods.

We also know hes told us lied during our time knowing him.

Some of bad tree man's riddles have come true doe.

Even idiots and liars are sometimes correct on accident.

[Shedaar]

It's shocking to me that people still take what some random evil tree said as fact.

I couldn't agree more

Didn't he say he would return to us during Legion to help fight them? And then nothing till BFA. There is one lie right there.

Most people get their hair from the mothers side of the family.

Probably a lot of places, because that's normal. Two blonde parents having a black-haired child is what should raise suspicions.

It's a reference to Game of Thrones.

I don't see why people keep getting so confused about this.

Wrathion is a prince not a king.

Who knows if it's even Anduin at all. Everyone is fixated on the obvious boy king thing, but maybe it's meant to be misleading.

For all you know it might be the fresh Lich King too or something else.

Heck, there was already a buzz in past it was actually the new Lich King because of free from throne reference and serving at the master's table could be his ties to Death. Finally the lies might not be real lies, but incorrect assumptions.

We already have Gul'dan addressing Anduin as boy-king:

Have you forgotten your humiliation on the Broken Shore? How your precious High King was bent and broken before me? Will you beg for your lives as he did, whimpering like some worthless dog?
Your pathetic Alliance will fall to dust. Your new boy King will bow down and serve me, as will all of you!

Didn't he say he would return to us during Legion to help fight them? And then nothing till BFA. There is one lie right there.

He said it during Mists of Pandaria. The first lie must have been told in-between patches 7.0.3 - 7.3.5 according to Il'gynoth future tense (will) and Ogmot's past tense (been).

Anduin is the weakest character in this game, everyone likes to humiliate him, that's the answer.

I would tend to agree with you but honestly Blizzard is horrible at writing and Sylvanas literally called him Boy King during the Battle for Lordaeron Cut Scenes.

[The Butt Witch]

Wrathion is a prince not a king.

Wrathion is a dragon. He is not a prince either. The "Black Prince" is a nickname.

i don't remember anymore, but we discussed here about it, its more likely to be 2 different persons.

plus, if Taelia was Calia child, they would have talk about it already with Calia showing up, with bolvar showing, and they being able to talk. sure it could be because ~~blizzard~~ and they just are bad, but i think its a waste

[username993720]

Did anyone notice the similarities between the Chains of Domination trailer animations, where Anduin leaps and stabs the Archon, and the Ny'alotha: Wrathion Scene trailer, where Wrathion stabs N'zoth?





Is this, simply, a case of laziness by Blizzard, like we thought with the Afterlives: Maldraxxus animation short, where they re-used a shot from Harbingers: Illidan, or is it intentional?

If it's, indeed, intentional, what could it, possibly, point to?
The only thing i can speculate about the similarities between Anduin and Wrathion is the phrase: "Like Father Like Son".
If Wrathion, who tried his best to avoid the fate of his father but, eventually, fell to corruption in patch 8.3, in the Ny'alotha raid then, i can only guess that Anduin is going through that same thing but, with a different father.
I've speculated, in my opening post, that Anduin is the son of Arthas, rather than Varian's.
If that is, indeed, the case then, he has been trying to avoid that fate, as well, after being compared to Arthas, by Garrosh, and being told that he, also, was a blonde haired light-wielder (Paladin).
In the Chains of Domination trailer he, indeed, turns into a Death Knight:

At first, i thought it was Arthas, as he, strikingly, resembles the prince in that artwork.

So, if that is the case then, maybe, the "prophecies" of the Scarlet Crusade aren't so far-fetched as we, previously, thought:
"The boy-king CONSPIRED with the Banshee herself to arrange a meeting between the living and the dead under a FALSE flag of truce. Traitor Wrynn seduced the Banshee into staging a FAKE massacre to lure out the good-hearted Princess Calia.

Then the traitor king had our princess MURDERED.

But that was not the end of Anduin's foul scheme. No, he had his Banshee lover raise Calia as a lich... practically SPITTING on the grave of good King Terenas!

Why?

Because the traitor king is OBSESSED with the dead! He plans to MARRY Calia and secure his right to the throne of Lordaeron."

Well, now that he is sort of Undead, he can, basically, do that. Like that Tim Burton movie, Corpse Bride.

It fits with the Il'gynoth prophecy about the boy-king lies. The first one is, supposedly, told in his speech, in the Legion Epilogue cinematic. And the second could be about what transpired in the Arathi meeting.

[Avellon]

What the..
This reads like fan fiction.

Then again...

[AwkwardSquirtle]

snip

Arthas isn't Anduin's father. The timeline doesn't work and it requires everyone involved to act completely out of character.

[czarek]

Anduin is goin to be King of Lordaeron. New Undercity will go up. Anduin will became lightforged undead (ud paladin).
