Calia and Tess are Mirrors

No, I am not willing to do the work of assuming she just mellowed and matured offscreen when I wasn’t looking.

Dang, I respect that a lot. Again forgive my ignorance, I won’t claim to be Forsaken expert but that makes perfect sense. I’d be pissed too if they outright changed a character like that. It seems like they needed a character to fill a role and changed her to fill that role. A couple times too haha that’s garbage.

Oh, feel free to rant. That’s kinda what this thread is for, or could be for.

I appreciate it my friend, but I already wrote a topic the size of a novel on this forum about what a silly decision the Worgen debacle was. Here’s my main point:

@Shaee-moknathal

Here’s the thing, from a storytelling perspective there’s not too much of a reason for Genn to actually step down. This was a creative choice by the lore team. No matter your feelings on Genn, his potential has been wasted by not having a kingdom for 15 years. Now we have a fresh start with Gilneas to shake some things up.

So basically we have three choices:
-Make Genn a better leader now that he has a throne.
-Have Genn hand over Gilneas to a competent political adversary, creating a wonderfully symbolic gesture that Greymane’s time is over and that while time’s are changing, we’re in good hands.
-Give the kingdom to a 20 year old with equally as little character development as Genn. (this is the one we went with)

Essentially, there’s a character named Darius Crowley who fought against Genn during the second war (opposed building the Gilnean Wall) then teamed up to save Gilneas from the Worgen and effectively saved them by teaming up with the Nelfs. Tess made it very clear she was uninterested in becoming a queen. So what’s the decision here?

Well, throw Darius in the garbage and make Tess the queen, obviously.
