The Maldraxxus assault is the Forsworn’s doing it seems. Furthermore the Paragon leading the Forsworn is the one who forced the Kyrian transformation and loss of memories on many of said Forsworn…
This Mawsworn Paragon presumably is the reason there are so many who can’t bear to lose their memories. They weren’t supposed to be in Bastion yet the Mawsworn Paragon took them to Bastion anyways against the Arbiter’s orders!
The Kyrians are confused by the existence of Forsworn(since Souls in Bastion were chosen by the Arbiter herself) yet fail to realize that a traitor in their Ranks is responsible for their existence!
I knew it, blizzard did say that forsworn are rare

They would have been non-existent if the Mawsworn Kyrian didn’t put the wrong Souls there to torture them into joining his ranks.
The story for the Joining the Kyrian Covenant will presumably to expose this plot(since the Mawsworn Paragon’s identity is not revealed due to always being in shadow) and create an understanding between Valkyr and Forsworn that will allow the two to live in peace.
This I presume might even be how the Kyrian Allied Race will come about! The Kyrians who weren’t intended for Bastion including the Forsworn would be given freedom to go where they will thus setting up the Allied Race while the actual intended ferrymen can do their jobs without incident.
(Query): I wonder if this means Uther wasn’t meant to go to Bastion after all?
This makes the assumption that Uther doesn’t belong in Bastion, as he is a Forsworn. By all accounts Uther definitely should have been in Bastion. Yes he killed Orcs, Ogres, etc. but killing is not against the rules for souls in Bastion (as we saw with the Tauren disciple whose memories involve fighting the Alliance) and he is said to be the most blessed Paladin in the history of Azeroth.
Uther was dedicated to the Light not to service to just anyone! Logistically he should be in a Light-aligned Afterlight opposite of Shadow-aligned Revendreth(whose Covenant has the Spell: Door of Shadows) not in the Arcane Death Realm of Bastion!
The Arcane-aligned Bastion really shouldn’t have people dedicated to the Light inside it. They should be sent to a Light-aligned Afterlife!
Incidentally the Traitor is the Paragon of Loyalty… If the Jailer was the previous ruler of the Shadowlands as the missing Heart suggests… The Paragon of Loyalty may be more loyal to his former master than the Archon anticipated.
A Paragon of Loyalty from the reign of the Jailer should not have been kept employed in Bastion! This is a severe oversight that shows incompetence.
The Archon should have paid attention to the fact that this Paragon was the pinnacle of Loyalty during the Jailer’s reign and got rid of him!
You dont even know if one exists, bastion isnt suppose to be based on alignment, this is where your losing me. I can accept that uther doesnt belong in bastion, but he is light aligned is pretty weak arguement for that.
