Shadowlands: Who'd you like to meet and return back with

[Mace]

So if we did go to the shadowlands, meeting a some dead heroes, and villains, who'd you like to see return.


Favourites include:

Arthas
Kael'thas
Queen Azshara
Fandral Staghelm
Anduin Lothar
Ogrim Doomhammer
Varian Wyrnn
Lady Vahj
Ysera
Vol'jin, Sen'jin
Krasus
Rhonin
Sylvanas
The Farondis
Medivh
Daelin & Derek Proudmore
MU or AU Gul'dan
Hellscream MU
Cairne Bloodhoof
Zul'jin

I know orcs go to the shadowlands, but do Draenei?

For me the most interesting candidates to see return would be:

1. Sylvanas returning as her orginal self - this would be interesting to see how she proceeds - as a high elf? blood elf? outcast

2. Arthas returning - villain or hero? or just a guy everyone is hunting to put down again?

3. Kael'thas returning - as a leader or as a chump?

4. The Farondis - rejuvenation of the ngiht elves?

5. Krasus - Alexstrazsa and the red flight
6. Fandral Staghelm


the foloiwng I would fancy returning
Rhonin for drama with Vereesa, Ysera, Anduin Lothar

The following I don't particularly care, but would be good
1. Vol'jin - would be great returning for the darkspears.
2. Varian - would he become king again?

Why would Farondis want to live again?

Why would Farondis want to live again?

Probably better than being stuck as a ghost?

[AlmightyGerkin]

Isn't Medivh still alive cause we last saw him fly out to the Nether during the end boss of Upper KZ? Also keep Arthas dead no need to re use the villain that was actually threatening.

[Gratlim]

Gul'dan as a hero with a redemption storyline and lead to lightborn orcs.

Why would Farondis want to live again?

Really? You have to ask that? - if you have been stuck as a ghost, with no way of return, you hope for oblivion, but if you have a way of return you would grab it. I don't get people who think that the Farondis would give up a chance of life, they totally don't get them. they are not depressed, fatalistic people, they only yearn for release from the curse, and if living again is impossible or they wouldn't do so at any cost, then oblivion os what they would prefer than that cursed state. However if Elune gave them chance to live again, everyone would take it.. they have living relatives, loved ones and their actual ives were wrongly ended. They would have to be seriously messed up like the forsaken.. but even they would give up death for real life.


I think they would be the more intersesting question, do you think any forsaken wouldn't want to return to life again? sylvanas is afraid of oblivion. So I guess even they, twisted as they are would want to live again.

I couldn't think of more lore characters, only the ones that quickly sprung to mind...

I wonder if everyone since Wc3 who died would return to life? That would be an interesting reaction.. hmm.. why not say WC1 - that 'd be interesting.. or it goes everyone within living memory of all who are alive in the real world get a chance to return.

Your list is sorely missing some Zul'jin.

Can someone answer this? I haven't known whether Medivh is still alive since Karazhan in Legion. He's died and come back ore re-appeared more than Onyxia.

[Powerogue]

As few people as possible because death is already fairly meaningless in this world.

But honestly I want to at least see Kael'thas for the inevitable "DEATH WAS MERELY A SETBACK!" memes.

Last we saw him..

WCIII: "taking his place among the legends of the past" or whatever as he just walks off.
fake Medivh: tries to convince Khadgar that it's his disembodied spirit still bound to the tower. Was actually a demon, but it's plausible enough.
real Medivh: shown in the tower, giving ominously vague advice. Good ol' Medivh.

[Erlking]

Arthas is definitely coming back. Last blizzcon mentioned his possible return.

[roboscorcher]

Gul'dan as a hero with a redemption storyline and lead to lightborn orcs.

He and Illidan hug it out, only for the elf to rip his head off again.

"They don't call me the betrayer for nothin!"

Next xpac: Wrath of the Titan-Elf

Ew no. The fun part about his character his how utterly evil he is.

Two skulls, bitch! and he just starts dual-wielding them instead of warglaives.

Thrall's balls, Saurfang's loyalty to the Horde, Lor'themar's political pragmatism and Cairne.

Medivh died once in WC1, was brought back prior to WC3, that is all.
Onyxia was alive, killed in a non-canon classic raid, killed in canon by Varian pre-Wrath, then killed again in another non-canon Wrath raid to celebrate 10 years of Warcraft, I think it was, raised as an undead monstrosity by Nefarian, promptly killed again.

That doesn't answer at all whether he's alive or dead!

How was he brought back prior to WC3?

Nice list. Have a like.

Aegwynn resurrected him after spending years pooling enough magic to do so.

[Leiandri]

I really wish this Shadowlands "leak" is a fake because the setting is about on the same level as alternate dimension-timeline Draenor to me. But if it does happen to be real, I hope no one will be brough back from the dead because as some of the posters above have already mentioned it would devaluate the weight of their loss and their sacrifice, regardless of how shoddily their deaths were written in the first place (*cough*Vol'jin*cough*).

Damn, Blizzard needs to start using him more then. Between WoD and Legion I got some serious Khadgar-fatigue.

Medivh actually appears in the Return to Karazhan raid in Legion, both in the form of his shade and a projection of his current living self.

I recall that but I thought he was an apparition since it wasn't clarified in the in-game lore (which is where I get 90% of my lore) that he was alive. It's kind of a big deal the Guardian of Tirisfall is alive, the most powerful living mage, and the Kirin Tor isn't discussing it in-game.
