Banshee Queen Calia is happening (ironically, being a beautiful dead woman in white, she actually resembles most folklore depictions of Cliodhna, the Queen of Banshees IRL).
Writing is on the wall. It’s a wrap.
Regardless if you’re pro or anti Calia.
But we also see Kel’thuzzad in Maldraxxus, who has the Medallion of Dominion of Sire Denathrius that we need to recover (if you’re Venthyr) for Prince Renathal.
Now when I started playing in the last two months of Wrath, what I thought was super cool was the concept of Varimanthas in the Undercity next to Sylvanas the Banshee Queen. I knew he was out the door already, but still, I thought it was the coolest thing.
Now, Calia is happening. But what if Blizzard gave her a Varimanthas in Kel’thuzzad?
In another thread I came up with a hypothetical series of quests over the expansion that would make Calia more “palatable” to the Horde playerbase, that I think is reasonable.
What if during the inevitable Arthas-Calia-Sylvanas-maybe also Anduin plot interaction, the last piece of Arthas’s soul protects Calia, which for some reason drives Kel’thuzzad to follow Calia? Or whatever other lore solution for Kel’thuzzad to return to Azeroth to help the Forsaken.
So Calia and the Forsaken get a Varimanthas-esque character back in Archlich Kel’thuzzad.
Now I didn’t say that. I like a lot of things that probably wouldn’t be good ideas. As much as I, personally, would enjoy Kel’thuzad around, as he’s one of my favorite characters…
He was Majordomo to the Lich King.
This would cause… problems.
This is a preventable future drama.
He was seemingly loyal to Arthas first and foremost imo, whose sister is Calia. Necromancy was born in Maldraxxus, and the Forsaken are now Valkyr-less, so who better to bring House of Rituals True Perfect Necromancy to the Forsaken to help them out than Archlich Baron Kel’thuzzad of the House of Plagues.
No you have to fight the House of Rituals specifically lol
