It was only confirmed in the interview.

Edit, after his edit. Confirmed might be, but itās in the book.
Zekhan sees it even for himself. He was there.
What, he sees Saurfang in the Maw?
No, the afterlife heās shown was idyllic and nice and be believed thatās where Saurfang went.
Then he got killed, and Zekhan was falling into the Maw until he was pulled out by Bwonsamdi. Once he getās back to reality, heās like āWhat the hell man, that was nothing like you showed meā.

Figured as much. Bwonsamdi given the circumstances he did have something to gain by lying. Biggest red flag for me was the stated fact everyone was going to the maw no matter what.
And what does he say?
Thatās true. Bwonsamdiās quite silly and cute for what he is/looks like. He strikes me as being very Chaotic Neutral, since heās a little bit questionable with all of his deals and such. Judging by how he is in the book, Iām kind of worried that theyāre going to start writing him as a cruel, bloodthirsty, tyrantic monster who wants nothing more than souls and people/spirits/other Death entites to be his slaves. If they do, I think Iāll end up getting so pissed that Iāll want to quit playing WoW altogether. Iām worrying about my favorite character being ruined 
Butā¦ I guess he has a reason to be mad, since he was getting drained of power by Nathanos and his goons. Imagine feeling so sick you can barely do anything and this idiot comes and tries to kill you. Itād piss me off, thatās for sure
I defiantly couldnāt see him running a Covenant, heās too happy lol
Something along the lines that souls have been falling there for a while now, but heās been stopping Troll souls from going. Donāt believe he acknowledged his trick, which is why it requires the author to spell it out in that interview.

Well, at least this does solve what I thought was a plot hole with the whole Nazmir having troll ghosts passing into Bwonsamdiās domain if the Maw was eating everything.
So, yay! Getting answers to questions.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. I was questing in Nazmir with in alt, went to the Necropolis and thought āWait, these souls are all going to be Muehāzala chow? Daaamnā. You know, Bwonsamdi keeping some trolls purposely undead might prevent them from also getting past his grasp too
Hey, quick question, Wowpedia lists Calia as a member of the Horde, with the icon next to her name and everything.
Is that true? Did she officially join the Forsaken in the book?
Man seeing Derek with the Horde symbol was weird.
I guess Calia and Derek just joined the Forsaken and thus are members of the Horde by proxy? Itās just oddā¦ especially since didnāt Blizz say something about Calia not joining the Horde, or was that my fevor dream?
Yes. At the Horde council meeting they make a point of saying both are Forsaken now and therefore horde. Talanji very pissed about having a proudmoore in the horde. Calia is even with Lillian at the Horde Council.
Let me clarify by saying I know Calia is Vossā adviser, and her presence at a meeting caused problems with Talanji due to Caliaās friend Derek being a Proudmoore, and wanting to talk with Jaina and all that.
I mean meant, sheās an actual member of the Forsaken, rather than an independent being brought on as an adviser for Lilian?
I guess she is, this was the goal of her becoming undead after all, Iām just surprised how quickly it happened.

Yes. Lillian pretty much says āDerek and Calia are part of the forsaken and therefore part of the Horde.ā

When Zekhan accused Bwonsamdi of lying about the vision of death he sent to him of Saurfang, the loa admitted it. The only souls that Bwonsamdi has been saving from the Maw are trolls.

Which is the height of hilarity since 2 years ago Lilian was not a member of the Horde or the Forsaken, but Blizzard picked her out of a line-up because reasons and she has an available voice-actor so who cares if it makes no sense??
Lest everyone forget, thereās still 0 explanation for Garona, Voss, or Rexxar returning/joining the Horde in BfA. Vossās position makes no sense.

I know what you mean, especially when it comes to characters like Thrall and Lorāthemar acting as if her being in the Horde is just natural. It was a bit surreal that Thrallās choice for Horde representatives to come with him to Nordrassil to meet the night elves included Calia.
Side note I thought that it was hilarious that Tyrande was so pissed at Anduin that she was ignoring his multiple missives but responded to Thrallās one.
Garona straight up admits that her services were requested and Rexxar never left the Horde and just generally did his own thing until joining the war effort. However the explanation of why heās joined the war effort doesnāt make sense and I 100% give you about Voss.
She was just sort of there and for that she grew on me, I still donāt get why Blizzard shoe horned her into the leadership/representative spot over existing Forsaken characters. Case in point Dark Ranger Velonara sided with the Horde against the Sylvanas.

Iām probably being weird but I get the feeling that Derek was re-invented and thrown in purely to be sympathy-in-a-can for the forsaken. I canāt think of any other reason why heād be part of the faction. It makes me dislike the character already and he hasnāt really done anything yet.

That could be considered an advantage. I donāt think the council would acept a Forshaken with Sylvsnas ties as a leader.
