Calia Menethil was slain by Sylvanas in Arathi Highlands and raised as a light undead.
Jaina referred to Calia as “a friend who might be able to help” Derek Proudmoore.
Calia Menethil, Arthas’ sister, is the heir to the throne of Lordaeron. Lordaeron would seem a perfect location for these Light Undead to call home. Tirisfal Glades is currently just sitting there waiting.
The last I knew, she has been actively avoiding that since Arthas got all stabby with Terenas. Unless something has changed, she doesn’t want to be Queen.
It’ll need a little cleanup, as I recall.
I doubt it I feel like Derek Proudmoore is gonna kill the mom and yea not good freind lol
No thanks.
For the love of all that is unholy, no.
OMG THIS
I’m glad someone else agrees.
I 100% think this is what’s going to happen.
I think they will follow the Alleria model where the faction leader looks a bit different from the playable members. In other words, only Calia will be lightforged. The rest will look like Derek Proudmoore.
Essentially this will be the “unrotten” Forsaken that they have been asking for for years, only the script is getting flipped to put them on Alliance.
I stand by my belief that this is one of the worst suggestions for an allied race I can think of.
A blighted hellhole doesn’t exactly make for a good theatre of operations.
It took the combined efforts of two incredibly powerful priests and a Naaru to bring her back.
You are reading way to far into this.
Yeah, a friend that can help with him adjusting to being brought back. Not as the leader of a new faction. That’s all she meant.
Calia: LET GO OF YOUR SHATTERED FORM AND EMBRACE THE LIGHT’S POWER
YOUR OLD LIFE HAS PASSED, THE LIGHT WILL FORGE YOU A NEW ONE!
THE LIGHT IS YOUR DESTINY!!
They sort of retconned her attitude about it, now she sees herself as the one who should lead the Forsaken because they are her people, forsaken or not but she’s not ready for that, then she said bye to the Alliance etc.
What I want to know is how they will go about bringing her and the lightforged forsaken into the Alliance since the Alliance has been so extremely, severely anti-undead for basically ever as we even see their attitude about it during the current war campaign storyline, and what will they do to solve the Forsaken’s ongoing problem of dying out, since they won’t make a race change sides, yet Calia sees them as her people to lead, and I am assuming Lightforging them is the “answer” to that problem…
I honestly don’t know why you guys keep beating this drum.
The Alliance, as a whole, has never had any problem with the Undead per se, they had a problem with the Scourge, which is completely different.
We have DKs in our ranks, we couldn’t care less about Undead. We only have a problem with the Scourge and with Sylvanas’ Undead, basically because they want to kill us.
PS: Yes, we find them terribly disgusting, just like Blood Elves do. That doesn’t mean we want to finish them all off.
Except they didn’t at first. One of the primary reasons the Forsaken joined the Horde is because they were violently rebuffed when they tried to go back to the Alliance.
This would be so hilarious. Alliance get the models with flesh and no rotted armor at the knees/elbows/spine. lol
Arthas is dead.
I’m honestly not sure what point you’re trying to make here. Him being dead doesn’t make her want to be Queen any more than she did before Wrath and it doesn’t make UC any less plagued.
What a riot. Jaina nuked the plague with frost on the way in to Lordaeron – you can clean up plague; the dragons burned it off in Wrath and Jaina nuked it with frost in Lordaeron. Sorry, they’re not going to leave an entire city plagued; again, they don’t waste space like that anymore.
And did I say ANYTHING about her being queen? Setting up shop for herself and other light-raised undead in a place that was recently “lived in” by undead and is being retaken by the Alliance – plague or no. You must have your head in the sand if you think they’re going to just leave that zone dead.
You guys can keep the undead, we really don’t mind.
And Sylvanas slaughtered a bunch of Forsaken who tried to run with Calia in Arathi.
So this thread is just a big “Here is what I think”, instead of a question?
Other than Calia, where is the indication that there are “light forged undead”? Or the indication that they exist and will be an allied race?
I didn’t think so.
However, Jaina did recovery an undead brother. A version of Nathanos, if you will. A Human undead.
So you have a better chance of getting free willed human undead, than you do light forged zombies. For now anyway.
And about Lordaeron- No. If Anduin’s intention was to even take Lordaeron, do you think that they wouldn’t have already been in there and cleared the blight out? Even if it took Jaina to do it? Jaina uses an ice bomb that clears the entire blight from outside the castle but can’t do the same inside?
Anduin’s intentions there, are pretty clear. And to prove that, watch this.
If you honestly think that the parallels are just a coincidence- then you are more blind than a rock.
