i like viewing her thru this lense tho and I never even considered something like this, i just would want it done better if that is what they are going for because that is a lot to unpack.

I mean yeah there’s a lot more than can be done, but it could be done via progressive quests.

• Quest 1: Calia asks you to find Lilian and Velonara and Aelthalyste and a conversation occurs where she admits she’s overwhelmed because she feels disconnected. She knew about “being Lordaeronian” in life, but Undeath adds a quality that she is only beginning to grasp.
• Quest 2: Calia asks you to accompany her in talking with old-school Forsaken NPCs
• Quest 3: Calia asks you to accompany her, Velonara, and Aelthalyste to visit Windrunner Spire, to witness what Sylvanas lost
• Quest 4: Calia asks you to accompany her to Acherus, to speak with the Four Horseman, in particular Darion Mograine and Sally Whitemane, there’s an interaction between Sally and Lilian
• Quest 5: Calia asks you to accompany her with Delaryn to Darkshore, you encounter Tyrande
• Quest 6: Something involving Maldraxxus
• Quest 7: Maldraxxus + Calia clean Undercity using neutralizing agent from the House of Plagues, but uses specifically Shadow magic to finish the cleaning of Undercity

All of this happening over the expansion, so by the end of it, Ardenweald restores Teldrassil and Maldraxxus restores Undercity.

@Akkuen-wyrmrest-accord

Calia, I would argue, does not. She does not reflect the previously established values or interests of the Forsaken, who are already in thematic limbo after BFA and Sylvanas’ departure from her status as their racial leader.

These values and interests have shifted given Before the Storm.
