I love this character and believe she represents a positive step forward in character design.
I’m not sure what her future holds in TWW, but I hope she remains a part of Hallowfall.
To those who may have concerns about her character design, I pose this open question:
Can you name another NPC in World of Warcraft who visually represents Black features and is a significant part of the main storyline, like Faerin?
After conducting my research, I appreciate Blizzard’s efforts in designing her. Moving forward, it would be great to see a well-developed hero with a similar appearance to Faerin who prominently represents Black descent.
This way we all have some part of us in world of Warcraft that we can relate to.

Why couldn’t they just make a black human nation on some island somewhere like they did with the Tanari?
Nobody would have minded that.
What people mind is the fact for 20 years the Human Kingdoms of the Eastern Kingdoms were depicted as white. Now suddenly they’re trying to force a black character in as if to say a human kingdom with all white people is racist or something, even though that kingdom is obviously based off of European medieval kingdoms.

Didnt you already make a thread about how much you love this npc?
You know what, I was skeptical of her at first. But, they made a character that is a character. Faerin is who she is, she wasn’t made to “Oh, I’m a Black Woman, I do things”. She was made to be “Faerin, Lamplighter, I also have a missing Arm too!” which is odd, sure, but… It’s refreshing! She’s in her world, and not wholly an insert with no point!

Don’t care that much and it doesn’t matter, but I feel like they could’ve had a better voice actor.
Maybe I assumed wrong but I thought she was going to be a real badass but that voice actor is incredibly soft.

She comes off as preachy to me and I don’t like that in any video game
I suggested that when the various human models were introduced. Give them backstory and flavor.
Different kingdoms coming to the aid of Stormwind.
Would have been cooler than “hey, you can have cornrows and dark skin now”.

Why is some Island somewhere.
Blizzard can surely design them and make them part of our Orgrimmar ranks in military or Stormwind Military.
This would make me more inclined to play Allaince.
I have a remix human paladin but his lore is not interesting.
I agree her character is too powerful and her voice actor is not suitable for this hero.
There is no “black descent” in Azeroth.
Azeroth isn’t Earth. If you look at the map, the continents are completely different.
Explain Pandaria to me.
A bit of lore or heroes like Faerin is good.
Right now we can design heroes with hair and skin colour but we have no NPC.
We did have a black coloured NPC on Allianxe side when doing the 1 to 10 levelling but she is found no where else.
Having them in the ranks of Military on Allainxw side would be nice.
Or even on Horde side. Someone to replace Nazgrim ?
