Honestly, Night Fae probably. And not just because I think that it would be a strong fit flavor-wise for a Druid (even though I’m not a huge fan of the power…) but because it just seems fun. I watched the “stage production” from the Night Fae and if they have a whole lot of those really fun light-hearted elements like they seem to, it would counter-balance the hardcore edge of Torghast, The Maw, and Revendreth, I think that will lead to the healthiest balance.
Maldraxxus is obviously super bad $$$ in a sort of Doom Slayer sort of way, extremely metal and what-not, but I don’t think I’d want to deal with TWO YEARS of constant heavy metal.
Bastion seems too… Human Male Paladin for me. I feel like nothing else needs to be said.
And as far as Revendreth, I would would similarly free that with Shadowlands Season 1 being themed around Vampires, you’d OD on Vampires way too early in the expansion. Two Vampire 5-mans, a Vampire raid, a Vampire affix, AND choosing to have a Vampire Order Hall and Vampire class abilities and talents? Seems a bit much.

I have four primary toons, one will be going to each covenant.
I like their mounts but the armor set for leather and the theme in general isn’t my style.
I just enjoy bones/skull faces~~
I am still leaning heavily to fae as cliche as that may sound, its just a fun enviroment.

As a DK, my slowness almost necessitates taking a covenant with movement abilities. We shall see though, won’t we?
See a lot of druids going Night Fae.
I wish I got the werebear form in Legion but at the time I did not even had a druid.
If its not to much trouble to handle more then one main I would definitely go Night Fae with my druid too.
Venthyr are awesome too, wondering if my lock could join it or even my paladin because I dont like Bastion at all.

What is? Like the one from the Warfronts?
Imagine playing any faction other than the proto-Scourge. Necrolords for life.

Unless they change Red Mist then my DK is going Vampy boi. It’s just too good to pass up for pulling packs as a tank.

I mean it was okay but it wasn’t advertised as a tower defense.
Mom raised me with metal like Judas Priest as a kid and I was still in her belly when she went to a motley crue show. I apparently kicked a lot during the drum solos. She had a friend stay in front of her so I was safe from the crowd. But even here in arizona I’m still mega goth ( Which is basically being Goth on Hard Mode ) so Revendreth practically sings to me. The abilities could have been trash and I would have still gone to them. ( Btw fun fact Rob Halford actually lives here in arizona. I think he’s been to Pride events here )
edit Oh and Alice Cooper I forgot. Apparently old metal heads just dig arizona. I think Cooper has a restaurant by the big baseball arena downtown

I’ll choose Necrolords, I love Undead Forsaken vibes while still being a Blood Elf player, so here’s to hoping Dark Ranger customization comes into play so I can go truly vibe with the Covenant!
The overwhelming majority of my guys are going Necrolords.
If I play Shadowlands…(still lots to figure out).
Split between Ardenweald and Kyrian, depending on what I focus on playing. Warrior seems to be Kyrian bound FOR ME. I want to enjoy Druid but can’t, though she would be bound for Ardenweald regardless… same as Monk.
I would try the others but they don’t necessarily interest me. Though I’ve got some mapped out if my interest sways for a different class.
Kyrian has the only good looking back packs imo.
I mean the back spikes from necrolords are cool. Reminds me of Xion from Bloody Roar.

He’s got these cool spikes he can stab folks with
I’m leaning towards the Vampire’s. The teleport and soul binds look good. The rogue class ability is literally a useless piece of garbage and most think there is no way it will make it into the game as is. If it’s not changed I’ll either go tree hugger or main switch to my warrior and decide from there.
Venthyr all the way, having the teleport for my class is just a little bonus, I’m not complaining if they nerf it down/buff another cov into the top.
That mail armor on my Zandalari will be so f*ing cool.
As if I didn’t need more of a reason to go Necrolord on this character, there’s actually an ability called “Kevin’s Key” that lets you open lockboxes. It’s totally a reference to industrial band Skinny Puppy, their head guy (not the lead singer but in charge) was named Cevin Key.
I’m totally picking covenants based on flavor. To do otherwise I wouldn’t enjoy myself as much, I want the covenant that most thematically fits a given character and nothing other.
