How do revendreth sins work?

[Erruk-wyrmrest-accord]

so… question about sins in WoW. what constitutes a sin in WoW? tyranny, and murder of innocents are considered sins, but like… are sins different for different races?

if an orc warlock uses the souls of his enemies to fuel his demons, but uses those demons to aid the horde, is that a sin? or is it only a sin if they use horde-souls? what if an orc wants to worship say, the light or void instead of the elements ‘n’ his ancestors, is that a sin?

are race/class combos we can’t be (human shaman, for example) considered sins, hence why we keep killing characters that are them? and what about demon-hunters? they’ve got demon-souls in’em, does that automatically make them sinful, or is it only if they use those demon-powers too-much?

During one of your sexy tea parties, if you choose to judge souls as entertainment then you get to choose their sin. I can’t remember all of them but it’s pride, hypocrisy, greed, cowardice, anger/rage/wrath?

huh… for a universe with succubi in it, surprising that lust isn’t one of them… i guess that answers some of my questions.

Not 100% certain, but I do know that people who use the turning lane to pass 30 people and then cut into the straight lane go straight to the Maw. We will not be rescuing them in SLs.

I think most sins can be summarized as “intentional harm to others” without proper justification. Even something culturally accepted could be considered cosmically “sinful”.

That said, I believe this comes down more to the Arbiter’s judgement than the Venthyrs.

@Erruk-wyrmrest-accord

if an orc warlock uses the souls of his enemies to fuel his demons, but uses those demons to aid the horde, is that a sin?

Possibly.

I think that the Arbiter/Venthyr would consider the destruction of a soul as a very very serious offense.

Furthermore…

@Erruk-wyrmrest-accord

what if an orc wants to worship say, the light or void instead of the elements ‘n’ his ancestors, is that a sin?

I highly doubt they care that mortals adhere to their culture’s religious institutions, so long as their faith doesn’t drive them to sinful acts.

@Erruk-wyrmrest-accord

are race/class combos we can’t be (human shaman, for example) considered sins, hence why we keep killing characters that are them?

No and I’m not really sure how you arrived at this conclusion. Besides, there are human shamans, Kul’tirans.

@Erruk-wyrmrest-accord

and what about demon-hunters? they’ve got demon-souls in’em, does that automatically make them sinful,

There’s nothing inherently sinful about having demon powers, the sin probably comes from how they got them or how they use them.

Your former life doesn’t really matter. If the Arbiter is saying something is a sin, it’s a sin.

I think they’d mostly have the arrogance beaten out of them then send them on their way.

A LOT of souls in the soul river quote “Lord Illidan knows the way” so Demon Hunters still go to the Shadowlands. I’d imagine only Illidan and the player Illidari have souls that go through the twisting nether instead. It’s been ages since I played through the Demon Hunter starting zone but Illidan explains it if you offer to sacrifice yourself to open a portal or door or whatever.
