9.0 General Discussion

You're kidding right? So far it's Horde majority characters on Venthyr and Necrolords and there's definite callbacks to both Nightborne and Blood Elves in the general Venthyr story. Though it might be a red herring I think they are destined for Horde and the spookier ones are going Horde/the prettier ones are going Alliance.

I just don't think they're going to break along the line of "Pretty Alliance and Evil Horde." Plus with Vol'jin and the Loa in general tied heavily into the Night Fae, I could see that as a way to force the Night Fae to go Horde.

Of course, again, I still expect it to be Pandaren-style Pick Your Faction.

That's what I assume as well, it can always be different. But my bet if we get them faction walled it most likely would be Kyrian/NF Alliance and Venthyr/Necrobros Horde.

[Hugnomo]

Guys, I honestly think they won't align with neither Horde or Alliance. They are their own factions.

[Darkarath]

Hey what MMO-Champion means when they say that no orcs allowed in the Kyrian Covenant? Is that real?

This would be best honestly.

The mythical third faction. Whispered only in legends.

[Kelthos]

If they do get made playable I really hope they'd be neutral. I know Blizz doesn't like neutral races, but if there was ever a time for it...

[Georg Von Vitzthum]

I'm just curious as to whether or not they will go 4/4 or not. Them adding female Night Fae is a huge sign that they're an AR, but I haven't seen anything "normal" in the Maldraxxus mobs.

if it will be 4 allied race, it don't need to be all of then from the covenants, they can use old races just fine.

Some dev was just having fun with unfinished text.

They will be faction aligned if they (and they will) become allied races. Or... this whole expac storyline will bring us into the "free for all no more factions".

[Doffen]

Man the art team has outdone themselves again. All the creature and weapon models so far looks awesome!

[EbaumsTipster]

It's going to be very, very awkward if 3 ARs come from the covenants and the other one is Ogres or something.

That means that's what the description text they found in the client says. Probably just a joke by Blizzard.

[Georg Von Vitzthum]

If they're faction-locked (I still bet it's Pandaren-style pick your faction) I'd say Kyrian and Venthyr Alliance, Necrolord and Night Fae Horde.

not in a million of years, venthyr if they become an allied race( who i wish they don't) will be horde, horde characters like kael and the theme to be against werewolf match well.

Night fae have nothing to do with horde and they just scream night elves/alliance

BFA brought us into that just Team A never got the memo so we have to wait 2 more years.

Ohhh thanks. Seemed weird.

BFA was no faction war, not "no more factions".

Please let this be the skellington mage ability

[Cherry123]

We all know Anduin won't be in the Shadowlands because of the timeskip that will occurs in Azeroth for the 10.0, thus explaining the old Anduin in legion comic Kappa

yep and he died for pre-patch, useless character and uslesses dead

don't think so, i would bbe ok with that.

remember this is not mirroed, vulpera had nothing to do with goblins like mechagnomes and other allied races had with their "parent" races
