Hear me out, Venthyr allied race

Community General Discussion

I think with the new shadowlands lore now, combined with venthyr in the living realm in karesh via tazavesh, would make the Venthyr a great true neutral allied race like the pandaren. I haven’t thoroughly thought them out yet but I think it would make a great addition.

For classes, they could have Druid(stone animals basically), Warlock, Priest, Death Knight, Hunter, Rogue, Mage, Monk
Warrior. And any hero class that may be introduced in the future.

Racial abilities can be the zone abilities from Revendreth with some modifications.

I can’t get behind this. The only Venthyr willed into existence are the original court of harvesters. This means any player character of a Venthyr is by default a redeemed soul and would be remanded to the shadowlands as a passed on person.

It’s bad enough the champion and a bunch other characters can portal to the realm of death all Willy Nilly completely making death pointless in the lore.

This makes me think of the San’layn, which i believe blizzard hinted at becoming a horde race, ages ago.

I could see them doing Venthyr as well

sure I’m all for it, but only if you are condemned to the SL expansion forever and ever….for the lore consistency

Well the new lore is basically just the shadowlands are an ordered death and not the true death. And with that venthyr band(?) in tazavesh, now in karesh, they essentially arent bound to the shadowlands, anymore at least.

so you’re telling me that sylvanas windrunner, the fan favorite of the Warcraft franchise, is probably coming back in midnight?

Is she still the fan favorite post-Shadowlands?

I loved her before it, not so much after.

Ah, my mistake. I’m not so great at picking that kind of stuff up, especially over text. My apologies lol.

11.2.7 spoilers from sylvanas. I am reaching a bit with the conclusion though. Its moreso hinted at that there is more to death than the shadowlands and some more stuff.

No, San’layn.

There’s even less chance of a race born from the Shadowlands becoming playable now as when that expansion was current, and it wasn’t very high then, either.

Druidism is more than just shapeshifting, and I can’t fathom venthyr suddenly being versed in something that’s more sylvar territory.

Giving them priests and DKs but not mages or monks doesn’t make much sense, either.

I’d rather they just add san’layn to avoid another void elf vs. high elf situation, but Blizzard would rather use them as the name of a priest talent and a DK hero spec and give three races some haphazardly-introduced Darkfallen customization.

Its a race?

Why not make it a cosmetic option for the High Elf races?

I always saw it as a sect, kinda like how blood elves are treated as a different race than High elves, despite being mostly the same thing.

Crazy thing happened to high elves, we got blood elves.

crazy thing happened to X Elves, we got san’layn

Sure and give it to alliance. And for horde… im thinking… ya we should get the new buff amanis.

I support you as long as horde gets amani. Ill support any thread on an alliance allied race as long as the horde equivilant is the amani.

I got my mind on the amani and amani on my mind!

Oh look, another terrible race from another terrible expansion being proposed instead of something sensible like Forest Trolls…
