Imagine dying and getting sent to a place where they’re like “Hey! Welcome! So now that you’re here we’re just gonna use your soul life force to power everything and even feed it to animals. Welcome to eternity!”
Seriously, this place is basically what we warlocks do to living people
You warlocks destroy souls.
Is that not what everyone else does when they suck their anima dry?
Ursoc had it happen to him
I feel people are forgetting that the Shadowlands were slowly crumbling before we got here and reversed it in Castle Nathria… Ardenweald for instance would usually only ask for a small portion of one’s anima rather than sacrificing whole souls for the stuff. Maldraxxus is Maldraxxus of course but the civil war was a result of the Primus leaving. etc etc. The four we see also aren’t anywhere near the sum total of realms either…
Its a bit depressing really, WoW basically has no afterlife.
No one said WoW’s afterlife had to be “The Good Place.”
Oh, I agree with you a 100% here.
I’ve thought the same thing, this isn’t heaven, where is heaven at?
Well, doesn’t that feed into Sylvanas being right? Maybe the Jailer and her are the good guys and we’re all being feed BS from the Pantheon of Death.
If it’s all the same to y’all, Maldraxxus IS my heaven…
Maldraxxus seems like the outlier in that you can fight for dominance and do as you please. Plus the ,souls there don’t die. They just find new bodies
The other realms are like “Join our cult or we take your anima and toss you into the Maw”
Maldraxxus doesn’t sugar coat things. That’s why it’s a great place.
To be fair none of the covenants short of Revendreth has demonstrated an ability to send souls to the Maw, and even then it seems they’re willing to allow some lenient leeway.
but i like the sugar coat because the sweetness helps to mask the horrible bitter taste of the reality underneath
also i bet maldraxxus smells awful
when you put it that way… Sylvanas kinda starts to make a bit of sense.
True, but bastion seems to force people to follow their “path” and if you don’t, they have to fix you until you do.
The only other option is to join the mawsworn. Which honestly sounds better than joining their cult
Ardenweald is different because a lot of the souls don’t stay. They get reincarnated back to their worlds is possible
Heaven is up. SL’s is sideways. I’m thinking it’s more akin to a purgatory than an actual permanent destination.
Idk about that last part though, I’m not currently playing it.
Looking back on her behavior and not knowing what we know now about Shadowlands, it seemed awful
But now the thought of Shadowlands being my fate sounds worse. Breaking the system seems like a better alternative than resigning yourself to the Shadowlands
The concept of a Heaven and a Hell is pretty ridiculous.
So you die and go to Heaven, but whos Heaven is it?
My Heaven? Filled with nice peaceful breezes, lots of pizza and ice cream and bunnies?
Or Trumps Heaven? Packed with large golf courses, his name plastered on every building, money literally raining from the sky?
Obviously he would hate my Heaven and I his, so we both can’t have the same Heaven.
And you could say “well we each get our own private Heaven” but would that be Heaven for an extrovert? I mean an introvert would love it but it would be Hell for an extrovert to be all alone.
Ok now my head hurts.
Don’t mortal souls have to take the soulshape boon in Ardenweald which sucks their anima out of them? Mortal souls tend to the forest of ardenweild which help feed the reborn.
Seems kinda like a slow death.
You’ve seen the realms that run the Shadowlands and base the entirety of it on them? They aren’t meant to be peaceful afterlives but cogs in a machine. Most people would go to a fitting afterlife.
Your statement made so much sense it scared the undead out of me.
