The Forsaken are the single worst concept added to the Warcraft universe. Everything about them makes it incredibly difficult to write a world which follows and adheres to its own rules + concepts

It doesn’t work in this case. The Menethil line was removed from the throne, for the crimes of checks notes genociding their own entire population and making them into zombie slaves. Once a line of monarchs is removes it tends to stay gone forever. You usually need a coup to reinstate them.

As for the Forsaken, and whether or not Calia is their Queen…why not? Sylvanas was proclaimed the ‘Banshee Queen’. By whom, exactly? Herself, and her loyal ‘subjects’, apparently. If that’s all it takes to be Queen of the Forsaken, then Calia has her beat by a mile, since she actually has a legitimate claim to rule over the (undead) people of Lordaeron.
[/quote] New monarchy families normaly get instated as a result of a time of unrest. Sylvanas was there when Lordaeron was at it’s worst, their entire population having become undead slaves to their king. The Menethils were rightfuly deposed for their crimes, and the leader of the rebelion sort of carried on in the role as leader. This is 100% normal, historical monarchy stuff.
Edit I dunno why the quote doesn’t work.

Again she is the heir and again yes a queen can be in a council to hear the council option and they all vote so yes she is Queen it’s her god damn throne

I dissagree she’s the heir. She’s the heir from a rightly deposed line.

Last I checked Sylvanas never abdicated so technically the Banshee Queen is still the reigning monarch of Lordaeron. By right of conquest.

She is from the menethil line Arthas sister… whom Arthas killed the king and both males are dead.

The line where Arthas was never king of Lordaeron? The line that was removed from power? That line that skipped over her being heir?

He didn’t become King of Lordaeron because he didn’t want it and became the Lich king. Calia is alive/undead she does have the right to the throne. Slyvannas who self proclaimed herself is now gone returning the kingdom back to her line.

Exactly, this is why we don’t want her. She’s from the same family of rulers that genocided the entire population. The Menethils were fightfuly deposed.

No not really. her family isn’t murders it was just Arthas. Yes he is her brother from her family but he was the murder. Sadly he was a pawn.

Thats how royal lines work. One big screw up and the entire grouping gets cast off.
Granted, in this case…Calia cast off the people of Lordaeron first. She just showed back up when it was convenient after abandoning them for over a decade.

There have been a lot of monarchic families permanently removed from power by the actions of one of their monarchs. For a LOT less than what Arthas did. In fact Calia knows this, she has several lines of dialogue where she’s afraid the forsaken will hate her over what her brother did.
