I’m putting it in spoilers but think I finally found out why she is related to Anduin Lothar
Putting it in spoilers if you do not wish to look said info
Faerin Lothar was created to most likely be Anduin Lothar’s sister. The reason why that Blizzard canonized the Warcraft movie lore.
In the warcraft movie, Taria Wynn is the wife of King Lane Wynn, Varians dad, Anduin Wynn’s grandfather. Taria Wynn is a black lady from the Warcraft movie. With proof there is a prequel book of the movie called Bonds of Brotherhood
That was when Lothar and Khadgar returned from Karazhan. They saw the chaos, and when they learned the king was dead, Lothar took command of the remaining forces. There was nothing left to be done for his city. He could only save as many of its people as he could.
Lothar ordered a mass evacuation of the city. He, Khadgar, Gavinrad, and the remaining soldiers gathered Prince Varian and his mother, Queen Taria, along with any other citizens they could find. They fought street by street to Stormwind’s harbor, losing many on the way. Among the casualties was Taria. When Lothar and the other survivors finally reached the docks, before they set sail, they destroyed nearly all of the city’s remaining boats so that the Horde could not follow.
Stormwind City burned to the ground behind the refugees. The First War was over. The Horde stood victorious. But its warchief was anything but happy.
This being added in Warcraft Chronicles volume 2, this made Taria’s character from the Warcraft movie canon.
Anyways…
TL;DR: Faerin Lothar exists because Blizzard canonized Taria Lothar from the movie. Taria is a sister of Anduin Lothar regardless of a different race. Which gave prompt of how Faerin Lothar came to existence.
Blizzard will most likely have Faerin Lothar and Anduin Wrynn have some family relationship catch up throughout the expansion as Faerin Lothar is Anduins great aunt by lore.
They pulled Calia Menethil out of the blue in the legion priest class hall when she was supposedly dead from Lordeaon’s fall per WC3
You don’t think this is whats happening too?
Also, Faerin Lothar can’t be Anduin Lothar’s daughter as in the movie, his wife Cally Lothar, died giving birth to his son. Who also died in the movie.
Until it’s revealed for real, I am going to assume the lore behind the pointy ears is that the crystal thing underground has really strong gravity pull that only effects elastic cartilage in people’s ears so the constant pulling causes the points.
I did find a passage about one of the descendants of Thoradin was named Faldi (I think) and yeah he broke away from the main group and disappeared.
So he would be related to Lothar, kind of, but really really really REALLY distant cousins and I have no idea why they would be named Lothar. Thoradin’s surname wasn’t Lothar.
Plus, they stated recently these people are not descendants of Thoradin.
I don’t think you’re currently going to find information relating to the Arathi in TWW.
They’re a group that hasn’t been known about until now, its just very easily possible that a member of the Lothar line went with them, may even have been their leader, and was forgotten to time. Or possibly this Lothar ancestor of the lady was exiled with them and stricken from the records.
