IMO, it just feels like different forms of undeath; they exist naturally within the Shadowlands, and powerful necromancers can meddle with the veil to bring them into the living world, so yeh, I do think it’s about the Lich King being able to use/replicate the power of the Venthyr to create a new type of undead; The thematic is just too similar to be a copy.

It was. But I don’t think that was a joke either. At least, I never took it as a joke. It always seemed incredibly plausible. Now, at long last, it’s about as close to reality as it’s ever been.

I mean I agree they are cool, what I am wary of is if they are undead, will they fe able to freely exist on the material World in a material way. Not only in ability to do so, but desire? IDK, it feels like they would be basically ghosts? Like Aszuna Night Elves.
The undead from our realm are pulled souls from the shadowlands. The bodies are decayed usually only powerful recromancy preserves the body. Like the lich king or the ritual to replace Nathanos’ body. But seems like lots of lore to explore cool themes.
Perhaps the breaking veil has something to do with being able to traverse both worlds. I would imagine that get fixed by the end of the expansion similar to Argus and the moon. I hope that visual sticks throughout the expansion!
It seems we aren’t going there in ghost form so they may maintain there forms.

Indeed. I’m talking specifically about the, let’s say method? of creating undead. The Venthyr seem like a very specific form of death entity, and their staggering ressemblence to the San¿layn suggests the Lich King was all like “I want some of that serving me” pretty much like it’s with the Val’kyr; he enslaved them and started to create more from probably the Valkyr from Bastion. Feels he did the same with a Venthyr to create Lana’thel.

Yah, I’m just wary of believing any of the races on the Shadowlands could become playable, like IDK even why would they join horde or alliance?
Maybe he learned from them. Any way they and the demon dreadlords have similar themes. The nathrezim may have interacted with them. It seems like there are demons in the shadowlands. The nathrezim I think may serve death. Tons of demon lore is connected with death knights so maybe the 2 are tightly connected.

Learned or enslaved I’d say. IDK if the Nathrezim like beings are demons, could be similar model… or members of the race before they became demons.
I mean that’s always a possibility! So I won’t ever one 100% discount it.

I mean to be fair, an entire covenant is based around sanlayn and they are supposed to be like the legion class campaign type stuff in the new expac. It’s pretty probable at this point.

Because its just a covenant? Not a new race?
Just ignore him. Like I’m going to now.
I’m excited guys, the chance for San’layn is going up pretty significantly. I’ll start sharing some of my new ideas soon. 43 replies too, wow. That is great
