SPOILERS: Shadowlands Lore Thread

It's a damn shame that the Jailor no longer tosses Baine out for being useless. While Jaina repeatedly wasting hordes of Mawsworn is highly stupid, Baine, who's essentially just a strong warrior rather than an inexplicably powerful mage really lowers the threat level all the more.

When Golden is pissed that someone laughs at her characters, expect unexplained power surges.

"What do you mean by 'Villains are supposed to be threatening'?"

[Soon-TM]

They drink it like vampires drink blood. That's the impression from the beta/video

Still, it's unclear whether that applies to all of the Shadowlands denizens, or just Revendrethians (sp?)

which only makes them even more hated.

so its basically confirmed now that Hakkar is truly just an evil wild god and thats it? nothing more? AND hes merely a lackey of Mueh'zala, (who himself is just a servant of the Jailer)
*sigh* they really are doing everything they can when it comes to destroying the few mysterious and interesting characters left in wow

[masterjc]

i do not get, why evil loas are allowed to exist, hakkar is mentioned to have such power, that it can destroy azeroth.
and after death he can be rebirthed. wtf
and bwonsamdi makes deals with him> this is another wtf.
making deals with evil creatures is kind of awkward somehow

It's funnier when you think of it as the same guys just changing costumes from expansion to expansion.

Aren't you hyped for yet another big dude yelling about destroying the world?

It's another one of those megalomaniacs who plan to destroy worlds before they even eliminated their main opposition on theirs.

Concept is so exciting it just never gets old. I'm really wondering whether we'll actually even beat them or not!

vol'jin in shadowlands " I no gonna sit back and let someone else be cleanin' up his mess.."
vol'jin in bfa "i gonna sit back and not clean up my mess, fuck the horde"

LUL

Also, why kill rezan and give his essence to vol'jin? that was so lame, a fucking dinossaur loa is now gone.

They introduced Rezan for the first time in BfA, killed him in Atal'Dazar, and now he's dead? Again? But now it's for real this time?

What's wrong with letting Loa live these days? X_X

First Ursoc, now him
(However, this means that he can't come back to Zandalar and tell Bwonsamdi he can't be the Loa of Kings anymore lol)

That is most likely going to be Vol'jin

What covenant would a Shadow Priest join? The obvious choice for priest is Kyrian but Shadow is the opposite. Maldraxxus? Or maybe the Venthyr?

I would lean towards Venthyr, personally.

Blizz think making him the Rezan sucessor will somehow make up for the hot mess garbage that they did with Vol'jin in Legion.

Not sure if anyone has covered this but as it stands i do not like the Kel'thuzad story line. His involvement just seems inconsequential in the overall plot of the shadowlands story. I think it would have been more interesting if his actions weren't connected to the Jailer. Hell even if he had done all this for his own gain or trying to get Arthas back as the lich King would probably be at least a little more interesting than having the 40th bad guy say he's in league with the Jailer. Having so many characters tied to the Jailer gives it a shallower narrative imo. Would be far more interesting if at least some had their own motives and plan to usurp the Jailer or cut ties after they get what they want.

Yeah, I would like the Kel Thuzad to also manipulate the situation for his own objectives. The Jailer has the Dreadlords, and Arthas has the old and loyal Kelthuzad.

I would like the Nerzhul returns after the sad depiction of his AU version

Do you guys think Frostreaper and Icebringer (Frostmourne) will come into the story like Xal'atath did for BfA? She didn't show up until 8.1 so I could see them doing the same thing.

it should only if you can actually forge then back as one, if not they can stay on the trashcan.
