Who can blame him? I’d rather hang onto this world in undeath even if it means being stitched into Thaddius’ right buttcheek than go to the Shadowlands after seeing what all that is about.
It’s really annoying how Blizzard does ghosts as a thing that just happens sometimes. People go to an afterlife when they die unless they have relevance to a main character, and their presence isn’t acknowledge or treated as something to resolve. Their dead brother is just there because exposition needs to happen, and we just don’t aknolwedge it when it’s happening or ever bring it up again.
The dungeon in general is just really weird. I was expecting a questline dealing with it and Lirath, even if it were a sidequest and not MSQ, but no there’s just a single quest outside the entrance asking you to go inside. No explanation for how and why Lirath is present.
I thought the exact same thing, and while it was nice to actually see Lirath, I kept wondering why his soul had not moved on, why he was still in the spire and why does he seem really unaware of what his sisters have been up to.
He’s both narrating to us, but also seems lost as to what’s going on, and he stays in the tower once it’s over…it’s confusing.
She meets up with the Banshee loyalist PC there and she’s met her sisters there… twice? I think? In the Three Sisters comic and I think War Crimes as well.
I wonder if his soul never showed up before due to the presence of the Scourge? He could’ve been hiding, concealing himself. Between the end of BFA (Sylvanas is at Windrunner Spire for Horde Loyalists) and Midnight, the Scourge in Quel’Thalas were finally, completely dealt with. We know that much.
It’d be sensible if their disappearance freed Lirath to appear more openly.
Or maybe whatever afterlife in the Shadowlands the Arbiter sent him to allows for weekend passes back to the world of the living. Or heck, maybe he’s stuck doing his realm’s equivalent of community service by preaching to the living about his family history.
I could believe he was Venthyr, because its getting increasingly painful every time we have to listen to Windrunner drama. Definitely feels a bit like we’re being tortured.
Just another example of the writers not knowing nor caring to even pretend to know the lore in their game. Kyrians should’ve grabbed him forever ago. He’s not being held there by a necromancer so he shouldn’t be there.
