My sub ran out this morning and yet I can still post 
I think if I log out, that will change.
It dawns on me that itâs weird that the Dreadlords are from Revendreth. Carrion Swarm feels more like a Maldraxxus thing, and they probably could have been the House of Eyes.

Yeah it does feel weird. Like Revendreth works because the Dreadlords were always âdemonic vampiresâ. And Revendreth is basically the vampire themed zone. Who knows what involvement the Dreadlords were meant to have in Shadowlands before Blizzard decided to tie them to Daddy D and his sexy voice.

Considering Zovaalâs Vampire Appearance, how the Jailer was supposed to be the Runecarver with the Arbiter clearly having that Orb anyways and how the only way Sylvanasâs ally could be mistaken for the Jailer would be if he had a beardâŚ
âŚThe Arbiter was probably going to be WoWâs DraculaâŚ
The change to Denathriusâs plot at the least either means that Denathrius has been made the Dracula of the story or Dracula has been moved to another Expansion.
Dracula means âSon of the Dragonâ.
If Dracula turns up in Dragonflight as Denathriusâs sleeping sire that he seeks to awaken and WoWâs counterpart for Death(possibly Nightâs Friend Muehâzala or some Lich that correlates with Death from Castlevania) shows up disguised as Eyrir("The blind queen wields a scepter of bone. From the deep, she calls forth doom." - Ilâgynoth) using Odyn to release Dracula then I wonât be surprised.
Because it was a sloppy retcon.

I like that the dreadlords are from Revendreth. Them being from Maldraxxus makes less sense to me, they donât generally fit there thematically.

If one considers the WC 3 DreadlordsâŚ
They summoned an Infernal, which likely makes them of the particularly Fel variety. As a race, they are open to various forms of Magic. As well as the study of other magics. As seen with their infiltration.
But that aside, the Carrion Swarm spell in WC 3 says :
Carrion Swarm
Sends a horde of bats to damage enemies.
So it depends on what it is. If it is bats, like in WC 3, then it fits Revendreth. If it is other carrion, it could fit Maldraxxus or Ardenweald. But they take their spells from anywhere they can, it seems.
Eh. They always felt more like vampires to me.
The Dreadlords being something more than Legion stooge #371 is conceptually a good idea, imho. Maybe itâs just me but they always felt way more unique than most demons. They typically didnât even have much green on them which was telling because if nothing else Sargeras understands the power of brand recognition.
Sire D and the Dreadboys are the only aspect of SL Iâd actually keep around. WoW has always lacked a cosmic Lawful Evil, which is a shame because I always find that interesting.
In the standard D&D setting for example Devils and Demons are not only distinct entities but are locked in a perpetual cosmic war, because thatâs what happens when evil lawmakers meet evil lawbreakers.
And the Devils are interesting because they are genuinely Lawful. You can negotiate a decent contract and wind up in Hell as a higher tier Devil than you normally would. Which honestly isnât the worst idea if youâre living the sort of life thatâs going to get your soul tossed into perdition.
Denathrius already looks like Lucifer and the Dreadlords are pretty good at the whole âsowing discord amongst the tribes of manâ thing. So Iâd just have them turn up here and there to play the devilish dealmaker role.
Well the Paladin class hall Ashbringer quest sure does make no god damn sense with SL being a thing now.
You have a full on conversation with Utherâs ghost. He even gives you detailed instructions on how to find Tirion. How many pieces is this guyâs soul in?

Grimoire of the Shadowlands says three pieces.
One piece went to Western Plaguelands shining with the Light that tried to save Utherâs Soul, another piece went to Frostmourne and was later sent to the Maw and the last piece went to Bastion.

Holy crap.
The Coldridge Valley quest where you kill whelps is uh. Darker than I imagined.
Youâre also to eavesdrop on the soothsayers, who repeatedly refer to the whelps as child. Just in case there was any confusion here.

You can negotiate a proper visit of Baator as well.
These guys are like Samael and Vulgrim from Darksiders(and not any of the Demons allied with Lucifer in the same Franchise). They follow their word yet always get something out of their deals with others which sometimes includes unexpected genocide of their landlords(mostly because they pass off the landlords evicting them as pests to remove).
If you donât have a proper pass allowing you safe passage through the Nine Hells then expect any deal with a Devil you meet there to wind up with you dead(and turned into a Lemure) as soon as you make the deal.
I hear that Devils pay the Cities of Lunia the first Layer of Mount Celestia a visit for business dealings or promotion to a place of power(in which case the ones ignorant willfully or not of how Celestiaâs Law works wind up dead for attempting Klingon Promotion)âŚ
Obviously they have to follow the laws and are usually only attacked unprovoked by the Smite Evil-Happy Paladins aligned with Gods from Elysium(Gods from Mount Celestia itself just maintain watch over the Blood War and Mount Celestia itself) where Evil is attacked on principle.
You can strike various bargains: Donât ask them to make you anything otherwise they will literally make you into what you ask for including chocolate(believe me I saw a Webcomic where a nasty Genie did something like this). They are Monkeyâs Paws.
To Master Baator sounds like quite the feat.
