Spicy New Bwonsamdi Info *spoilers*

She is not on friendly terms with him at all. in fact she is down right cold to him and bluntly says she does not care one whit what occurs to him.

Mueh doesn’t seem like the go-getter type

Eh. Mueh’s face looks like the Temple, like literally, and Mueh’s Medallion is the face of the Temple and the face of all the Troll Skulls literally everywhere.

I’m hoping ex-wife. Winter Queen is WoW’s Unseelie Queen which is based on Tuatha de Danann Brigid in part which is the basis of Saint Brigid for the Catholic Church which is the basis of Haitian Voodoo Maman Briget which is Baron Samedi’s Wife.

Awww they changed it from earlier alpha and I missed it, thanks.

Then why does she command him to get out of “Her realm” after he literally saves it?
:thinking:

This, literally doesn’t make any sense to downgrade Bwonsamdi to be some mortal when he even knows the Trolls were elements before they become in the current flesh.

The afterlife Elune promise is a lie and doesn’t even exist since you can see a previous night warrior serving in Bastion as a Kyrian. Blizzard seems to be only good at gaslighting stuff

Actually…

As far as we know Elune never promised any afterlife in specific… the only thing we have mentioned is a “land of wisps and shadows” in the lament for Teldrassil which one can easily argue could be Ardenweald.

On top of the Kaldorei religion is based very much on RL Shinto, which is a religion based totally on the living, what comes after is not something much touched on at all.

something this specific i fear could just be a “rule of cool” detail

we need an item to make restoring the naaru a really big moment, how about we use this relic players are familiar with from earlier this expansion.

I was basing my thoughts on an earlier alpha build, my b

I thought this was an earlier alpha build that was removed?

Nah, IMO the Naaru were forged by a First One (ergo Khadgar’s speculation of Elune making the Naaru), so only a thing that contains the power of a First One can restore it.

Man those screenshots scream “HORDE GODS DON’T MATTER, ONLY ALLIANCE GODS MATTER.”

Aid him, or not, as you desire.

If only I was granted some degree of agency in the story.

OR… he has a really bad reputation as being a wily trickster god who cannot be trusted.

Also Bwon has a thing with seemingly every female power of death loathing him. He seems to be quite the womanizer, which is something he got from his RL inspiration of Baron Samedi.

She thinks loa are beneath her, not just Bwonsamdi.

There is no actual mention of him being an actual Troll…

Mueh’zala made Bwomsamdi become a Loa so it stands to reason he’d make Bwomsamdi resemble his kind(which I presume are the Djinn).

De Other Side is confirmed to not be the Winter Queen’s Realm of Ardenweald(since she tells Bwomsamdi to leave her realm) so that means that we likely fight Hakkar in the Emerald Dream(at Mueh’zala’s Necropolis in the Emerald Dream).

Then why is it a Night Elf Faerie Tree?

The Eternal Ones are said to compose a ‘Pantheon of Death’ equivalent to the Titans. So… I mean, they factually are to the same order of magnitude a Loa or Wild God is to a Titan.

You think she’s an eternal one eh?
So, Alliance gets two first one gods, while the Horde’s oldest god gets nerfed to troll-turned loa.

Fantastic if true.

She is an Eternal One. Every realm leader of the core Shadowlands realms is one of the pantheon of Death.

I do not see how the winter queen is particularly Alliance… she seems pretty ambivalent in general to what wild gods and Loa do after they are revivied, they stop being her concern.

On a cosmic scale they are, just like Wild Gods.

Ah I misunderstood. Chronicle calls those Shadowlords, but I’m guessing they got renamed?

Night Elf Faerie Queen of a Night Elf Night Forest with Night Elf World Trees who hates Troll Loa and banishes them even when they save Her realm.

Nah man the new quotes really comes off as racism (or well, Loa-ism), and meta-wise demonstrates Blizzard is okay with Troll Loa being Subaltern/secondary when Night Elf Ancients/Adjacent like Ysera get to be central.

by the infinite tales of Scheherazade where the devil are you getting Mueh is a Djinn?!?!

Quotes aside, De Other Side is literally in a tree in Ardenweald. There’s no avoiding that.

She personally rez’s Ysera.

First Ones aren’t Eternals. Eternals = Pantheon of Death. First Ones = probably unseen and superior tier of power.

Bro are you kidding me, the Covenant Campaign for Ardenweald is tied to Tyrande, the Night Warrior is tied to Ardenweald, Ysera is now a handmaiden of the Queen and she’s always been a Night-Elf-leaning character and Ysera was PERSONALLY resurrected by the Winter Queen at great expense.

Chronicle doesn’t mention the Shadowlands much actually, you are misremembering here.

Yep. Ardenweald is a night elf zone freshly retconned to make the night elves stars of the expansion they were previously completely, wholly, totally, and tonally unrelated to.
