Pelagos is the worst arbiter?

Since we created a new arbiter and placed Pelagos’ soul in the vessel, I thought that everything would change, but no. The stream of souls still goes right to the maw!

There can be only two reasons: Either Pelagos thinks that everyone deserves the maw, which makes him the worst arbiter ever, or blizzard is simply too lazy to draw 2 different streams.

What do you think?

We already know he stopped it.

However I do think he will be awful at the job.
I see no reason to believe he will be impartial.
And I see nothing to make him more qualified than anyone else at the job.

He just happened to be there at the right time.

Not a good outcome for the shadowlands.

I say bring back the robot.

Why is there still a “rescue 20 souls” quest if Sylvanas is doing it for us?
Does Sylvanas have to rescue all the mawsworn as well?
Does this mean that terrible people like Lillian Voss’ father get redemption now too?
Does Pelagos send people to the maw? If so does Sylvanas send them right back?
If Revendreth sends someone to the maw, does Sylvanas send it back to the arbiter and say “Dude, you messed up.”
What afterlife does the Tarragrue get to go to once it’s rescued?

Like most stuff in SL, the finale makes no sense at all.
Can’t wait for the epilogue and prepatch to destroy 20+ years of Dragon Lore to fit Danuser’s ‘Vision’.

Well based on what little I have seen, I would say he isn’t very good but I couldn’t say the “worst” because there is nothing to compare to.

Why is only 1 person being sent to rescue innocent people from hell?
Do the people of azeroth and the shadowlands care that little about them?

OTJ training… he will find his groove.

Just come to Oribos and look at the soulstream. Theyre still all flowing to the maw

Yeah but the game has told us it stopped.
Maybe it’s just a wind tunnel now

Could send like, idk, 100% of the Kyrian there to do it?

After all they could have just dropped off all the souls on some island somewhere and name it “technical difficulties island” instead of sending 8 month old infants, small children, and grown up adventurers to literal hell, which one would assume they did all the time.

IMO the kyrians are absolutely terrible.

Ah yes. On training job.

For the same reason Hyjal is still burning, Nzoth is still attacking Pandaria, Twilight Hammer is still in Twilight Highlands, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Too soon to say Pelagos will suck. If the Kyrian were more like him, much of these issues would’ve been solved.

that’s actually kind of based. let’s go with this theory.

Third reason, he hasn’t finished installing Arbiter Channeling version 4.25

Ok… thanks, wasnt a typo. I guess I had it wrong. :relaxed:

Worse, he actively believes no one deserves the Maw, and is taking all the souls that were there out…

You clearly missed several bits of the story.

  1. Sylvanas will take time to do her work. Also WoW content is “frozen in time” in a sense for gameplay purposes.
  2. The Mawsworn were never part of any deal. They made their choice to serve just like we killed the Forsworn who didn’t submit or choose to give the new path a chance.
  3. You clearly misunderstand the stance of Pelearbiter. He believes ALL souls can be saved and redeemed and NOBODY is beyond that redemption. He literally says he’ll be working with the covenants and the soul itself to come up with a plan on how that can happen. If you follow modern entertainment, shows like Lucifer and The Good Place do the exact same thing. In theory, Pelearbiter could decide a soul may need the brainwashing of the Kyrian to strip away bad/traumatic memories that root a soul on a bad path or maybe they need the sadistic atonement rituals of the Venthyr to break and humble bad personality traits or maybe they need reincarnated another chance at life to make better choices.
  4. There is literally 0 souls going to the Maw. Like I said above, Pelearbiter believes every soul can and will be redeemed and instead of a 1 time judgment, it’ll be a process
  5. Again, no souls in the Maw.
  6. Pretty sure constructs like the Tarragrue don’t have souls in the same way we do. It’ll just die.

I agree this isn’t the way I would have done things, but just because you don’t like the way things shaped out doesn’t mean the logic isn’t there.

Those quests take place in 9.0, this is about as silly as asking why we could still do Molten Front dailies when Dragon Soul was released.

Presumably, if they’re willing to redeem themselves. She’ll probably be killing any that are too far gone.

Worse people than him have gone to Revendreth, that he’s in the Maw at all was kind of weird.

Pelagos said he wouldn’t.

Revendreth will likely switch their plan for irredeemable souls to “just drain them to nonexistence” since it’s kind of acknowledged that oblivion is more merciful than an eternity of torment.

Probably none, since it’s canonically dead.
