There must always be a Lich King

[Shammyrock]

Guess the undead horde is going to destroy everything then

[DemonHunter18]

LoL one dead elf walked up to Frozen Throne alone and fodderized the Lich King.

they are weak shi***.

[Xisa]

Yeah that was...heinous. Heinous.

A) We help Bolvar reforge the helm with some shadowlands magic.
B) Before Sylvanas broke the helmp part of the LK transfered to Bolvar (Explains how he is not dead)

Anyways I don´t give a fuck, at this point Sargeras is going to be destroyed by Sylvanas, who is the new "Invencible" super baddie, hell even the Titans aren´t safe now.
She basically is a godess now. Talk about bad writting and lore indulgence.

[Exhuman]

She wiped his army in a second lmao... Poor lich king he went rusty, too much sit on that throne.

[Garmondil]

Sylvanas has been secretly killing all the undead in northrend so the LK wouldnt be as strong since the more UD the more powerful he becomes. So no army to ravage azeroth and weak LK.

until you forget bolvar is literaly in a state of undeath due to the lifebinders flames

2010: There must always be a lich king
2019: Sylvie destroys the helm with her bare hands.
Blizzard: Scourge? What's that?

[Golden Yak]

Well, this was probably why there had to be one.

To keep the sky from breaking.

This whole thing is why it's bad for there to not be one, keep up.

[brynden]

Anduin as the new Lich King (jailor of the damned) by the end of expansion. Mark my words

I'm with you. The Kerrigan redemption arc is starting and i'm glad I won't pay money on this garbage. And according to Golden, if sylvanas was a man his action would be considered toxic masculinity. But when sylvanas does it...

[Maxilian]

Hope to see this, maybe in the pre-expansion patch?

[TheHodedOne]

I know but isn´t his sould merged to the LK since he put the Helm on?

[Voidwielder]

How can Bolvar raise new DKs if the Helmet is broken and the powers leave him? How does that work?

[Golden Yak]

Not like Bolvar was ever that into it. Half-hearted Lich King.

Now there's gonna be a Super Lich King, with his Super Scourge.

[Constellation]

I don't think they've forgotten about that (I hope lol). The tear of Helm of Domination could spark the pre expansion patch and will have undeads walking freely around Azeroth and we will clean them up easily and then go to ICC to see what the fudge Bolvar is doing, only to see that he is no longer LK and the rift is open to the Shadowlands, leading us into the expansion.

[Newname1234567890]

I mean....the scourge may generally be an issue?

I wouldnt be surprised if while we're in the Shadowlands the Horde and Allaince are holding back the scourge. Im guessing Slyvannas frees 'Death' and he take command of the scourge.

[Akelina]

How can Bolvar raise new DKs if the Helmet is broken and the powers leave him? How does that work?

I think it happens before the events of the cinematic.

[loppy88]

So the Lich King was created to control the Scourge by the Burning Legion, yet somehow is the jailer/gatekeeper to the afterlife? Who's role was that before the Lich King? Their lore breaking has come back to bite them in the ass.

[Powerogue]

He's literally been sitting in the same place since WotLK, it took him her entire walk up just to unfreeze his ass from the chair, and he never took the time to go get a level boost so he was still an 80 elite. :P

Naw I think it's after. He's still alive and a high level death knight, he just can't remote control undead anymore. Scourge are probably rampaging across Northrend right now killing everything in their path. Yaaaay Sylvanas!
