…oh. okay.

Why?

I hope he’s there to voice an opinion on de-evilized Sylvanas. And I kind of hope that opinion is less than kindly, what with Calia, Uther, and Vereesa on hand to play Mother Teresa already.

Sounds like it’ll be a going away party. Bleh.

I can’t search strictly for ‘9.2 characters’, so I am just searching one by one, but thus far it seems the following characters have been added in some form in 9.2.

Thrall, Baine, Calia, Voss, Lor’themar, Vereesa, Taelia, Genn, Jaina, Maiev, Bolvar and Tyrande.

As well as obviously Sylvanas and Anduin.

Wait, Baine exists in the narrative again??? WTF???

(I’m gonna look really silly if he actually stood up and did something in 9.1)

He off screen fought some maw soldiers in Oribos.

Ok, whew. He never left Oldbobos, and presumably fought them from his sitting-step. And there is no visual evidence saying that he didn’t, so my head-canon is intact.

Almost thought he went and did a whole thing for a minute there!

Lol! What is oldbobos?!

I don’t know if this is the right way to phrase this but I think the Shadowlands has been too “mechanical”.

Everything feels robotic and nothing feels mystical. Maybe the robotic feel would be more suited to the cosmic realm of the arcane.

Well technically we see him on the second floor of Oribos surrounded by dead mawsworn.

Oldbobos. The big ugly tower in the Shadowlands that’s full of robots.

It can have a real name when it proves itself worthy of a real name. Until then, it can be Oldbobos.

“Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic” and all that jazz. Shadowlands took the old Titan aesthetic and smoothed out the fun.

… Is he at least still sitting? Please, don’t ruin my dreams too hard.

I am sorry to ruin them, but if I recall correctly he is not.

I’m’a go sit on a stair and cry in memory of my favorite Baine moments.

I’m going to state that the Color Scheme of the First Ones: Whitish Yellow has been used by both Purifiers and Mecha Swarm of Egon Stetmann.

Come to think of it the Automa and Proto Eternal Ones even resembles the Mecha Swarm…

If Egon Stetmann turns out to be a First One and to have converted Bel’Shir into Azeroth then things will get very amusing.

Here’s hoping that this is a hint to Azeroth’s World Soul being the Core to Zereth Mortis…

I am not a fan of that Warlock hood… granted, I usually mog my head slot to the Top Hat anyway…

I hope they get some feedback and decide to change it. It looks… wrong.

I dunno why you think a position that is basically a glorified sorting hat needs to go to a character that’s important.

The question is not that they’re important

But rather, not stripping the agency and identity of WoW’s first trans character in an act of self-sacrifice when they were only able to transition in death to begin with

side note:

Intermission: Remnant of a Fallen King -

  • Grasp of Domination - The Remnant’s Domination over Anduin’s soul links them, transferring 200% of damage taken to Anduin.
  • Remorseless Winter - The presence of the Fallen King invokes a raging storm that inflicts 2 Shadowfrost damage every 1 sec to all players.

Found arthas, he’s in Kingsmourne

Oh, this is that character?

I guess it depends if they get to keep their personality or not, or if they have to become a robot like the old Arbiter.
