I used the world “reconnect”, not in a personal manner but in a political manner. I meant that he possibly wants to bring the Arathi Empire back into the fold with his Arathi kingdom, reuniting both kingdoms back into the Arathor of old.
It’s possible that they’ll tug on that thread. I expect that the Arathi will play a role moving forward into Midnight and the Last Titan.
There may even be distant relations of the Trollbane line over in the Arathi Empire just like there is a line of the Lothar family.
