what, the maw is not a happy place, she has to save every single soul she damnned by siding with the jailer that is torture
If you say so. Sounds more like cosmic community service, which doesn’t need to be physically painful (but is exhausting nevertheless).

Yeah. That’s brought up after she discovers he’s also behind the Legion. Which she brushes aside with;
“No, she reminded herself. We are on the same side now. That is nothing compared with what we will achieve together”
Then on the same page she is instructed to;
“Unleash death upon your world on a scale never before witnessed. Every soul you send screaming into the afterlife makes the Banished One stronger. And when the time is right, Sire Denathrius will unleash the torrent of anima he has quietly been hoarding to feed the Maw with power. The covenants of the Shadowlands will continue to descend further into drought and disarray, and no one will be left to oppose us.”
By Mal’Ganis.
And then she does.

My dream expansion is actually an expansion that goes back and finishes up the plotlines from BFA in a non-idiotic manner. Azshara and Xala’Tath are hunted down and beaten, the Horde and Alliance actually hash out their differences politically while beating down the warhawks on both sides, all the while exploring a new continent, preferable one far from the main action under threat from the escaped BFA villains.
Ok, then I misunderstood you. In my own review of the novel, I also mentioned that the Mal’Ganis chapter didn’t make much sense, from a psychological point of view. Up until this point, the Jailer had merely proven that he was 1) powerful and 2) knowledgeable about the afterlife. But after the final raid cinematic, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Jailer actually was genuine.

I agree other than I think Azshara should have her own xpac

I’m not offhand sure how impressive foresight is in this setting. But you’d think they’d be made much less so when the Jailor is revealed to be pulling the Legion’s strings.
Yeah probably can reasonably guess what would happen if most of the events of Legion are your plan.
And the last child of blood prophecy is just Mal’Ganis. Poorly disguised as a Blood Elf. I don’t get how any of this adds up as any sort of justification for declaring war on everything.

I’d say he largely said what he needed to say and left a lot of blanks intentionally to let her fill them in with what she wanted to hear. He definately presents LK 1.0 and 2.0 as rogue agents, to distance himself from blame, just like he very carefully says his brother designed the instruments of domination. Which is technically true; he neglects to mention he actually made them, and leaves it as if his brother had done it all.
Its frustratingly in line with Uther’s “deceptively cunning” quip, which is just annoying as he never shows this degree of wit in game at all. He seems like a muscle headed deep voiced moron, instead.

I’d have expected sth like this: “I agree that, after all you’ve shown me, that the afterlife is unjust. Punishments seem arbitrary, and even the people who are not in pain can’t see their loved ones, so they aren’t truly happy. But why do you suddenly expect me to sentence people to this horrible fate? To the Maw? Give me proof what you want the future afterlife to look like.” And then he gives her visions of the Voidlords and what not, and how he protects the souls that temporarily got into the Maw. Because that’s what she believed in the end. That the souls suffering there would only do so for a short time.
Late response but yeah you don’t get more than what you get in game.
Seems he too was worried about an even greater threat. And ya know this was a fun twist in WC3 when we learned the Orcs were but pawns for the true evil behind the scenes.
But they’ve done that like 8 times now. It’s getting ridiculous. Cam we please just stop like a bandit king or a dragon next? Not the cosmic god of banditry or King Ghidorah just a duck mothering fun fantasy adventure. Where I don’t need to read a book to have even the vaguest idea of what is going on. And even then come away still mostly confused.

Zorvaal has a fatescribe in Torghast. At some point she should have realized he had the power to control fate. So seeing “signs” was just dumb, he orchestrated those signs himself.
When logic is even slightly applied to this story it all falls apart.

“Haha, God, you said you’d give me signs to prove that you’re powerful and all-knowing and I can trust your plan, but you orchestrated those fantastical signs yourself. How do you answer that?”
God: “… are you retarded?”

I sort of wondering if they might do stuff with the Devourers and Galakrond. That meshes so well given all Galakrond did was eat, and eat, and eat. And the devourers are one of their spookier enemy designs.
you kind of have to see that to put two and two together, shes not omnipresence
People here expecting sylvanas to port out to the real world to read the script lol
It’s in Torghast. She had to walk by it to get to her boss room. She would have to be dumb to ignore it.
