Nope. “Their descendants”. Not “our descendants”.
Also keep in mind that Vrykul are absolutely gigantic.
It’s like trying to cross a Great Dane with a Chihuahua. Not physically possible lol

Again.
We Thornspeakers joined Kul Tiran society. Some of their descendants heard the call of the wilds and wished to learn the ancient ways, and so we have taught them.
Their can refer to the descendants of Kul Tirans and Thornspeakers. If Ulfar said “Our” it would’ve referred to Thornspeakers only as Ulfar is not Kul Tiran in any way. He’s just Drust.
Yeah, have you seen the Kul Tirans? They’re huge.
No. It can only mean the descendants of Kul Tirans because he identifies the Thornspeakers as “we” in the beginning of the sentence. So the Descendants of the Thornspeakers could only be referred to as “our”.
When he says “their descendants” he is talking about Kul Tiran descendants only.
If you assume they are gigantic because they are descendants of Vrykul, you would have to assume a tiny Human long ago had babies with a gigantic Vrykul. That’s not possible because there’s no geometric compatibility.
If you assume Kul Tirans were gigantic without mixed Drust blood, the hybrid baby birth seems a bit more possible, yet… absolutely unneeded because the Kul Tirans are already huge without Vrykul blood.

So why would Ulfar say descendants? Descendants of the Kul Tiran society? Is that wording not a bit odd? Rather than just saying the Kul Tiran’s descendants?
This is World of Warcraft. The same world in which Queen Azshara wanted to marry a Titan.

Titans have powers over the rules of the universe. They can shrink and enlarge at will. Hence why sometimes they are planet-sized and sometimes they are just giant-sized.
Vrykul… not so much.
Of course, they’re humans! But with these devs they’re liable to put vrykul on horde to troll the alliance players even more.
Sooo… then what about Mok’nathal? Ogres are massive.
No, they actually aren’t. There are massive Ogres around, but there are also Ogres that are smaller than Tauren.
They actually lack the intertrival system that made Aztecs so advanced. Zandalari don’t even wear clothes but most importantly , they kill other trolls for just “not behaving” like zandalari think they should as the quests in Stranglethorn show. That’s simply savagery. And no, I’m not saying trolls committing crimes or so, I’m saying trolls just doing their thing.
I have to agree with Mortis, his wording doesn’t signal interbreeding at all it just says that the descendants of the first Kul’tirans who fought the drust now felt compelled to learn from them.

Viking/Norse themes are ESO claim to fame. The latest DLC is even 1000 years before Skyrim where you explore the frozen tundra and snowy mountains of the Nord homeland.
Aren’t the Vrykul skeletons in Drustvar the size of your character too? Correct me if I’m wrong.
Hope it the ones from the broken isle -Vrykul (version) as future allied race.
Not the blue ones…
Direct from the devs. Kul Tiran humans are not distinct from regular humans in a biological sense. They have no vrykul blood in them.
Travis: “So, Thin Man and Fat Man are what we call them internally. And no, they’re not intended to be a different race, [they’re] just variants on Kul Tirans. So, generally, when we’re spawning up Kul Tiras on the design side, we looked at using them as kind of our… maybe it’s a little bit like, ‘The big guy’s the bouncer!’ Or, ‘The big guy’s the ruffian who’s got a little guy up by the neck! And then the little guy’s more the scoundrel and they’re always holding daggers or leanin’ up against something,’ and, I don’t know, it just gives us a little more flavor and texture to the world.”

Let’s take off the tin foil cap for a moment: They use the human model, like y’know, Stormwind humans.
Definitely looks like Vrykul and Outcast Arrakoa then.
As of 8.3, the Arrakoa you turn into from the Time-Lost Figurine can mount. This was NEVER true before.

Nope. Vrykul definitely don’t use the Stormwind Human model. It’s a completely different model with unique animations.
You can check it in the Wowhead Dressing Room if you doubt it.

The problem there is humans are 100% Vrykul blood, as would be Kultirans, they’re all genetically the same race. Humans are just runts.
Kultirans are result of the runts breeding back with a full sized Vrykul clan.
This is why only the large bodied Kultirans are druids. they’re specifically training the descendants of the Drust.
It’s also why the best warriors come from Drustvar, they’d have the largest number of large Kultirans are it’s where the Drust were mostly centered.
There’s pretty much no other reason that makes any sense for the large Kultirans to be so huge.
Plus Kultirans look a lot more like Vrykul than a regular human. Must more of a design lineage for the model.
They’re the equivalent of Mok’nathal, the middle race between orcs and ogre.
