    however they see eachother as family, she did help raise him a fair bit, and no she was around them a fair amount.
    seems very unlikely I at one point did think so, and think it may still be possible, but it is in no way confirmed.
    Also if Calia was bolvar's lover, Anduin would have known, and would have told him or her as soon as he found out both of them were alive, and he knows they both are.

    Boy King finds Draenei women sexy, so if anything he will fall in love with High Exarch Yrel, hottest of the Draenei, once she finally arrives into the Main Timeline. Considering how Yrel controls all of Draenor now, a political marriage with her would be in Golden Boy's best interests.

    Mages aren't immortal, they can extend their life, Aegwynn for example had reached the limit of her spells keeping her alive after just about a thousand years. Anduin sees Jaina as his aunt and she sees him as her nephew.

    Wow, shocking, a thread of super smart and savvy gamers who have no idea how marriages worked during the medieval (aka "fantasy") era. I am shocked. Truly, truly shocked.

    Incest /ˈɪnsɛst/ is sexual activity between family members or close relatives. This typically includes sexual activity between people in a consanguineous relationship (blood relations), and sometimes those related by affinity, stepfamily, those related by adoption or marriage, or members of the same clan or lineage.

    So if you are adopted or even relate as "family" that is still it.

    Didn't they introduce a character in his age, some daughter of Fordragon or whatever?

    Jaina is too old for him.

    Well, she probably would have problems producing offspring after a certain age. Of course, this probably can be alleviated with magic, but who knows. There was a reason why there is a "tradition" of older men marrying young girls - because the men are well-situated, and the girls have better chances of producing offspring and actually surviving birth and the following weeks (except when they are very young, but I don't think that WoW would "promote" child molesting the way "The song of ice and fire" did). Even minus all superstitions, the best age for a woman to have children is up to her mid-twenties, afterwards, the risk of miscarriage etc. and not getting pregnant at all increases.

    Err... incest? You do know that calling someone "aunt" doesn't magically make you blood related, right?

    you dont need to be blood related, you think being adopted for example doesent make it so?
    "and sometimes those related by affinity, stepfamily, those related by adoption or marriage, or members of the same clan or lineage."
    Seeing someone as your aunt, and them, seeing you as their newphew, doesent make it any less weird cause "oh but they arnt blood related"

    Next time you bed someone, in the middle say "your like a brother/sister to me" and see how quickly they leave.

    Still it wouldn't be incest. Anduin call Jaina untie because all his life he is surrounded by males - Bolvar, Varian, Genn, Velen, Taylor and shit tons of royal guards. He didn't had any notable female presence during his childhood. Add to this that his mother died before he even learned to walk.

    He calls her auntie because Jaina is closest female person he ever had. Not because Jaina acted like one.

    Anduin won't be marrying his Aunt or a woman 20 years his senior.

    "Oh! But it would be a political marriage!" Political Marriages are for the issue of Royalty, not Kings. Kings marry whoever the hell they want. Sometimes 6 whoever the hells they want. And honestly, once the Kul'tirans join the Alliance because we're spending the first 1/2 of the expansion rescuing all their people and fighting the Horde off their island, there won't need to be a political marriage. MAYBE if Tandred or Derek comes back and has a kid that kid can marry Anduin's kid by Taelia and be a political alliance super-baby between Stormwind, Kul'tiras, and Lordaeron, but even that's a stretch.

    "Oh, age isn't an issue!" Bullshit. Age has -always- been an issue. Kings marrying 12 year olds didn't happen outside of creeps who earned horrible epithets for doing so. The whole "humans start mating when a girl gets her period and they get their periods at twelve!" thing is a recent as -fuck- invention brought on by incredible nutritional availability and medical advances. Prior to the early to mid 1900s it was unusual for someone to menstruate before hitting 16, even among nobility. But thanks to healthier bodies puberty hits sooner for everyone! But most fantasy writers and historians and just generally guys all over have little to no understanding of how menstruation works because "It's Gross!" so the myths continue to spread.

    "Okay, but Age isn't an issue the OTHER WAY" Bullshit. By age 40 a woman has HALF the chance of getting pregnant that a 20 year old does. And that's in the modern era with quality medical care and nutritional improvements. In a pseudo-historical fantasy world without vaccinations, antibiotics, and loaves of bread artificially pumped full of tons of the vitamins and minerals she needs to survive Jaina's odds of ever having kids should be -vanishingly- small outside of literal magic-pregnancy bullshit. Throughout most of human history, people were banging EVERY NIGHT and it's only the shit care they had for their bodies that kept them from dropping babies once a year.

    Anduin won't be marrying the woman who has known him since he was wearing diapers.
    When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like injustice.
