I am a big Adal fan. I am hoping if we get a “the Light can be just as bad as it can be good” story line, that Adal stays on our side against the evil Light creatures we will face.
He has been a pretty cool dude so far. And the WotLK Bridenbrad quest puts him as a benevolent force in the setting - whether it is truly canonical or just a tribute, it would be in poor taste to villain bat him, imo.
I am not really looking for Adal to make a return. He has his place in the lore and it’s a good place.
I am nervous about his return. It is very likely he will either be killed by some sort of FrankenXera for high drama, or be on her side. Him living and being on our side seems the least likely outcome, but I hope for it.
Considering how he ordered for Illidan’s death, when Xe’ra was all “Illidan is the chosen one,” I figure he’ll either be on our side or tragically die to show how radical and dogmatic these enemy Light beings can be.
And now I wonder what they had planned for Alterac. Based on the flight path, I feel that at the very least the Horde was going to take over Strahnbrad then, over it happening off screen in Battle for Azeroth.
I think a good drama moment for the reprisal of A’dal – would be if one of the other naaru had done that time-freeze on everyone, followed by lightforged warriors to casually storm through, slash their swords on a few of the front-line fighters then teleport a few others as prisoners — only for A’dal to surprisingly show up on OUR armies side and break it, thus giving us a fighting chance against them.
Other naaru: “Traitor!! You and your Sha’tar are heretics to our cause!”
A’dal: "We fight for hope. For freedom … For righteousness. We remain loyal to our truest and the most noble ideals. And most of all – we honour those who have honoured us."

Then have the champions of the light, along with K’ure and D’ore come forth alongside A’dal, weapons at the ready — to challenge the opposing light-forces.
The concept of D’ore itself is rather hilarious because in a natural Naaru lifecycle, they tend to go from the Light to the Void interchangeably, and yet with D’ore, the Auchenai kept it on life support for millenia in this weird deathless, soul-absorbing state until it eventually just became this really weird necromantic anchor.
Nobody really talks about how the Auchenai are just benevolent necromancers who unintentionally turned their Naaru into a Lich.
I mean even particular Voidcallers have had lanterns to bridge the planes of the living & dead, often attracting wayward ghosts & spirits into the physical living plane of reality.
From memory, the Draenei took the body of D’ore to study — and since Naaru are effectively immortal (Although the rule tends to be the greater the damage, the longer the recovery) – The Naaru D’ore had a transitioning state to void, whilst its spirit would recover its light and ultimately be reborn in it; however this process created a rift, similar to the bridge of the voidcaller lanterns and thus the Draenei took advantage of the phenomena that was created & built Auchindoun.
Unfortunately after the destruction of Auchindoun, the rift remained yet the void that situated the naaru became greater — consuming souls into the void and transforming them into void-state spirits, whilst D’ore was sadly to watch it unfold – helpless to act alone
Fortunately however, D’ore continued to recover and from their dialog was stated to have almost completed the process of revival into the light.
I’d love to see D’ore return to the Draenei on Azeroth and announce the rift they created in their cycle of restoration had remained – Yet was able to be moved; thus ultimately allowing the Draenei to create a NEW Auchindoun for their people
On the above note, it’d be cool to see the order of the Auchenai be reborn and have some cool stories be created from it for the culture of the playable Draenei
Dalar Spellweaver, who quit the Kirin Tor because of their reckless disregard for life and safety and became their mortal enemy. The mages of Ambermill, who were isolated and felt abandoned by the Kirin Tor, joined the alliance conflict while Dalaran was still neutral, and then joined the Horde when they were all turned undead.
With the current arc of the Kirin Tor trying to fix their past mistakes and trying to spread out so they’re not all just cooped up in one city, taking Ambermill back into the fold provides an excellent opportunity to do both.
For an inquisitive magical researcher, undeath isn’t a curse, it’s a chance for exciting new opportunities!
I think this is a wrong missconception that people have, while in truth, in real History, sons rarely killed their father to take over. Its near never a thing. Even if the father was a bad king or you had “circonstences” it never happenned.
But there was many opther ways he could have died, plague of scourge for example.
I think Trollbane killing his father was bit bs, because there was no real reason behind it really.
Like guy killed his father…because? Like his father was a war hero, he managed to hold arathi together, even managed to get loots from alterac. Dont get why he would be killed by his son, knowing he would be the king after thoras would eventually die.
Dalar Dawnweaver actually. And in fairness I only know that because I’m playing HC and just did his Arugal questline. He pops up in Cata Silverpine menacing the Kirin Tor again and is also one of the randomized Archmage heroes you can get back in Warcraft 3 so he’s probably pretty powerful.
He’s especially proven right seeing as what went down in Gilneas. The unqualified mad mage ruining just part of a zone and one castle with werewolves was bad but turns out Arugal screwed a whole separate nation as well.
I blame his schnazzy robes. Everyone looked at his drip and just assumed he had to know what he was talking about.
Then have the champions of the light, along with K’ure and D’ore come forth alongside A’dal, weapons at the ready — to challenge the opposing light-forces. 
“Wh … What?”
"Er I mean the NAARU* have not forgotten us!"
