Here is a list of the known attendees at the Caverns of Time Celebration. There are likely more as we have characters who make brief appearances and the article mentions they haven’t seen all of them.

I like this! It’s fun to see minor characters come back and make appearances, and I like that there’s so many conversation threads.
It’s good to see Valtrois again! Vindication for the shippers!
Sounds like Koltira or Darion need to have a chat with Thassarian about ignoring Leryssa. Also, what the heck Thassarian, you’re the one who famously went on about you and Koltira becoming “brothers in death”! What happened that he’s in such a foul mood?

So Shadowmaster Kiryn and the monkey are like, confirmed then?
Sorry nerd in real life the Hozen gets the girl.
Also nice to see Doctor Gregory Victor. I still remember his runecloth bandage quest in Hammerfall. It was interesting as it was a rare instance of non-magical healing in WoW.

I wonder if that’s MU or AU Tuulani. Almost feels like the sort of thing we should be able to ask her. An awkward conversation, sure, but I’m pretty sure we’ve never met her in the MU.

Who can resist such a line as: “Me no care about you weird dead face!”

Over a decade of torture via Sylvanas Windrunner.
She had captured Koltira, not Thassarian.

Ye, I misread.
It’s all good. Though it raises questions on what’s up with Thassarian.

It sounds like he’s clinically depressed or rather severe PTSD he refuses to interact with his sister and accept the war is over. That he can rest. That he deserves to rest. As do all Death Knights. The powers that made them do not define them, and I’m glad Koltira is there to help him understand this.

Don’t they literally define them? Death Knights have an insatiable bloodlust and have to kill something by the Lich King’s design or they go mad.

Real talk, though: what the hell is going on with the undead characters? It seems like the… dampening effect that state of being has on a person’s morality or emotional state is just kinda evaporating for some characters without explanation.

Blizzard have never been consistent with that. Even in Vanilla the undead ranged from people lobotomizing mad scientists to straight up virtuous argent dawn members.

It’s… Inconsistent. Some go mad scientist, others totally cynical, others turn into psychopaths. Some get a brutal apathy, others an overall dampening in emotions while others turn into a ball of rage.
Pick your theme, really.

They’re bound by the eternal hunger, but since they regained their free will they can still choose in what manner they satisfy it, and good discipline and willpower can help them manage it so that they don’t go on an indiscriminate killing spree at the first sign of cravings. That’s what the “suffer well” greeting is about, and it’s one of the things that makes them knights in the traditional sense of a knightly order. That’s why they’re good in an active conflict or as murderhobo adventurers, as those circumstances mean they’re bound to have to kill something eventually for a specific purpose, rather than just to satisfy the curse. Just because one is a monstrous undead creature doesn’t mean one has to choose the most evil course of action at all times.
As others have said, it’s always varied quite a bit between characters, and it’s also hard to tell how much of that is due to the state of being undead and how much of that is due to the individual character’s personality and circumstance. If you complete the Shadowmourne quests and do the epilogue with Alexandros’ soul shard, Darion makes a comment about suddenly feeling incredibly strong emotions that he thought he had lost entirely, and in the pre-Shadowlands short story, he notes that his ability to feel sorrow and grief seem to be as strong as they were in life. Meanwhile, Whitemane regained some of her sanity thanks to death, but has a strong sense of rage that is at least partially carried over from when she was alive. Thassarian and Koltira have their particular bond, which started when Koltira was still alive. Death knights definitely lose something in terms of their emotional state, but they don’t all lose the same aspects in the same way. As for the Forsaken, keep in mind that the state of their brain matter at the time of being raised was not guaranteed to be in good condition (ghouls gotta eat), and that may have had an impact.

I remember my friend and I were playing MoP on launch together and when we got to that part we both said “Awwwww” in unison. It was sweet.
