Just for the aesthetics? Kyrian. Just looks really good. But the gamplay is meh.
Overall i would go for Nightfae.
Venthyr is just... weird. Vampires? Why? We allready had the whole San'layn thing and they have aparantly nothing to do with them. And it is so cliche. Doesn't fit the wow style... FOR ME, before anyone jumps. To Castlevania-y
Maldarxxus is just boring for me. Not good. Not bad. Just boring.
It really depends on the class theme and how you view it. I think Druids should be Night Fae cause Convoke Spirits is the tits. Rogues? Venthyr. Its all about betrayal and cloak and dagger. The sad reality is people will play the 1% dps increase in most cases.
Overall aesthetics, I'm Necrolord all the way. I even dig the jelly critters, LOL.
Like others, I'll play through them all. If I had to rank them I'm probably:
2. Venthyr
3. Night Far
4. Kyrian
I like them all equally, I guess?
It depends on the Class as well, Like I wouldn't like to be Kyrian DK for example or Necrolord Druid.
Theme must fit the Class.
Kyrian > Night Fae > Vampires > 14 year olds
Kyrian if I just go by style and story including the inhabitants.
Night Fae if I pretend the Night Fae wouldn't be the inhabitants otherwise.
Essentially Ardenweald has imho the most beautiful art ingame, sadly it's dragged down by the bug fairies and the other abominations that live there.
Edit: Venthyr have interesting art but it's too much goth for me and I hate necrolords and their rubbish scourge aesthetic with a passion.

You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
Loving the Night Fae myself, but I’ll probably put an alt in each one anyway.
I’m playing all the right notes...but not necessarily in the right order.
I'm not questioning your choice, you can like whatever you want but there's flaw in your logic. I mean, Kyrian is this good/holy theme and Night Fae is nature/druid thing and we have those themes all over the place and in every single expansion. Obviously Venthyr and Maldraxxus share a theme with some other factions but not as much as those two. It's just not fair to call Venthyr cliche out of all of them.
For me the decision depends on my class, but I picked Venthyr for those reasons - they are the most original theme in WoW out of those four, plus I like this style.
