They’re necromancers or some sort of vampire, aren’t they? Because I had a suspicion that they were either vampires because of the two of them wearing the obvious stereotypical “evil sunglasses” and I just realized that Celoenus casts “Necrobolt” in the Collegiate delve and I think Alina Everlark just hits people while in the delve so I think it’s less obvious for her.
So my next question would be whether or not the authorities in Silvermoon, or the college for that matter, knows that Celoenus uses necromantic magic or if he is somehow keeping it on the downlow.
His name is literally Caloenus Blackflame he’s probably not interested in keeping it on the downlow. I’m also not sure if necromancy is banned in Quel’thalas?
Or maybe he was born with that name, in which case the Silvermoon Academics should really spend time researching why given names seem to influence an elf’s magic speciality (Magister UMBRIC, DARKan Drathir)
Blackflame may be the warlock trainer from TBC, same first name at least, and the same hairstyle, just dyed. He could just be a practitioner of all the more dubious magic. Warlocks do have a few death-related spells by default at least.
Considering the quest in Eversong Woods with that one lady and her undead sister? I’m pretty sure necromancy is banned. I think even the Void Elf race unlock quest even mentions that necromancy was banned
He could have changed his name after the fall of Silvermoon back during the events of WC3/WC3:TFT. I think there’s some sort of lore that stated that a lot of Blood Elves changed their names.
Nah, the TBC Celoenus is located in Falconwing Square (by the proving grounds). The Celoenus in the college is someone compeltely new
Necrobolt has only been used by necromancer caster npcs, so I’m fairly certain that the intent is that he’s some sort of necromantic mage. So him using that spell is a very deliberate choice by whichever developer
My favourite is Cordona Felsong. Mainly because like most of the other wardens seen in WoD and Legion, they are just the names of the custom game Warden Heroes from Warcraft 3.
But of course Blizzard used the one with Fel in their surname to defect to the Burning Legion.
Meanwhile there are like 4-5 NPC’s in the game with the surname ‘Whisperwind’ and yet there is nothing to indicate that they are actually related to each other. One of which is another one of those WC3 Custom Game Warden Heroes.
They’re different NPCs. Blackflame is an entirely new character while the Celoenus from TBC was reloacted to the proving ground.

WC2 and 3 had names like Alleria Windrunner, Jaina Proudmoore, Uther Lightbringer, Illidan Stormrage, etc. So the names are on point for what the RTS brought to the table.
You are not getting my problem. despite Uther here, the rest of the name i fine.
By example, what if Alleria Windunner, was the name of a character who uses wind magic and was pretty fast?
If Illidan stormrage was a shaman that uses lighting and control the storms?
thats the kind of dumb names that they make to combine with the class or the magic they use. Its like they think they want a guy that uses void energy, so they name after it, instead the other way around
Blizzard could also completely rework Unholy DK’s and make it a more ranged focused spec, akin to Gen 1 DK’s. Although given how Blizzard has tackled Survival over the years since Legion…
Alternatively they could bring in customization options for Warlocks that turn their demons into undead. As there were necromancers that did start off as Warlocks, mainly those under Gul’dan in WC1 (Necrolytes).
Personally I don’t see Blizzard adding additional specs to classes that already have 3. Won’t someone please think of the druids! Mainly due to Hero talents and how they are designed to be ‘evergreen’ (for now anyway).
The aesthetic and class fantasy of a necromancer is similar, but different enough from that of WoW’s Warlock class that a necromancer class would warrant being its own thing while pulling inspiration/abilities from Death Knights
