So I was doing some Drust Archaeology reading all the lore on the artifacts and thought why not a Drust Allied race?
A race of spirits animating wicker men seems like a much more interesting idea than Vulpira for the Horde and they already have a good deal of established lore now.
What is the established Vulpera lore?
The entire Voldune questline, I suppose.
Kul Tiran humans are the âDrust allied raceâ. They are the lineage. Pure drust are just a Vrykul tribe.
I would rather have fox. I think theyâre neat.
This is what we should have gotten instead of KT, but Blizz had to go and wipe them all out and give us those Kul Tiran⌠things.
What would the difference have been? What would have made it better for you?
Except according to Blizz, they arenât. Which makes it even worse.
They are not intended to be a separate race, they are simply variants on Kul Tirans made because Blizzard wanted bigger and smaller models to fit the various NPC roles and add more flavor to the world. They are not biologically different from other humans.
The wicker men arenât drust, theyâre constructs.
Also I donât need to play Blair Witch again.
Drust were distant cousins of Vrykul. You wouldâve had Vrykul and not pudgy humans with poor backstory.
Iâm glad that they added âpudgyâ humans. Sure, they should have gotten multiple body types but WoW is better for it.
But they are according to Blizzard. Bear in mind every human is of Vrkyul lineage. Kul tirans retaining a beefier larger frame as a result of the Drust resistors joining them and intermingling with them.
If you enjoy them, thatâs good and Iâm glad youâre happy! But I wouldâve rather had Vrykul with cool backstory.
Kul Tirians are just normal humans.
Durst are a Vrykul offshoot that the humans wiped out when they arrived on Kul Tiras. They now exist as spirits that inhabit wicker bodies.
They make a Vulpera race and I am going to play a female fox lady. Remember Maid Marion from the old disney Robin Hood cartoon? Mmmm yeah, foxy lady.
The Drust as they are now are bound in service by magic to Gorak Tul. Would be tough to make them an Allied Race without some serious progression in that storyline. Maybe that will happen next expansion, maybe that will happen 10 years from now.
His spirit was destroyed when you rescued Jaina.
They didnât wipe them all out. There were Drust who joined the Kul Tirans against their own because they didnât care for the lengths they were going to.
I donât, but I know people who are glad to have options other than the square jawed thin humans.
This would be cool. I wouldnât mind showing up to a raid with a few of those in the party.
The quote I gave you was from a Blizz interview. Iâm guessing Ulfarâs reference to âtheir descendantsâ goes to âKul Tiran descendantsâ and not a mix breed.
