So Anduin will be the new Lich King, but this time he will be the ârightâ Lich King, in service of the Jailer.
And the woman that commited more crimes than Arthas and other villains combined, seems to be getting a redemption arcâŠ
This lore team is sooooooo good, i can bet that Danuser made this cinematic dialogues with a smile on his face.

Still a good looking design tho. Art team is still killing it here as always. On the other hand, god I want her to commit. Turn the Boy King into the new LK and have us beat the good back into him down the road. It might have him get some âgrey growthâ heâs long overdue for, like Baineâs âhaving his powerlessness violently thrust into his face several times in quick successionâ could do for him.
Sylvanas must commit. Even if she turns later, she has no sufficient motivation to bail right this moment. Not after everything. But, as weâve seen, the Jailor just discarded someone. SO ⊠at some point have him discard her, and thus that should serve as the impetus for her turn. And part of that turn is to âsave Anduinâ, as she was integral to whatever they plan on doing to him; and Anduin is apparently integral to whatever overarching plan the Jailor has cooking.

Talking to Anduin means redemption, and we canât help Tyrande, sheâs consumed by vengeance.
coughgag Sorry, I seem to have let my inner NEFPA out.

It doesnât always work, he tried it with Garrosh once and got a bell dropped on him.
I feel as though it could be because Sylvanas respected Varian, and she sees that in Anduin and itâs enough to shake her. For all we know, and maybe theyâll bring this up, Varian was the last time she allowed herself an inkling of effort to trust a new person and then he died horribly.
This characterization of Sylvanas is truer to her character, I feel, than what weâve seen in many expansions. She was, canonically, the kindest of the Windrunner sisters, and the most open-minded. The idea that she feels she needs to do this in order to spare billions of souls from what happened to her is a compelling plot, but itâs at odds with other characterizations. Itâs like there are two Sylvanases, one for TBC, Wrath, Legion, and now Shadowlands, and then one for Cataclysm and BfA.

Runeblade Shalamayne (which I will forever dub, Shalamourne) looks pretty sick.
So either Anduin is now in Shalamourne or heâs about to become a death knight, like Arthas which is so incredibly lazy and boring that I thought it wasnât possible.
AlsoâŠwhere the bloody hell was this Sylvanas for so many Lightdamned years?! Actual internal conflict. Subtle hints that Sylvanas Windrunner really does just wants to be happy but the world keeps beating her down until all thatâs left is the Banshee Queen.
Light damnit all this was the flashes of Sylvanas Iâve was hoping for since she was made Warchief. Frak.

The only hope Sylvanas has killed is mine for the story.

So much for necromancer class. Nope, the next class simply talks you into submission or digs into your past and uncovers secrets to escape failure to launch WoW addiction thereby releasing us all from this prison. Blizzard is the good guy.
Attic nerds beware.

WoWhead made a âinterestingâ observation, that is when or if Sylvanas realizes that the Jailer is the one who made Frostmourne and the Helm of Domination.
Which seems for me a bit stupid that she doesnât realizes that yet, she saw now right in front of her, Anduinâs blade being reforged into a new Runeblade.
But knowing this lore team they just made her dumb to not see this yet because of âreasonsâ, like Jaina who kills a lot of Mawsworn IN THE MAW, but couldnât kill the ones who picked her in Azeroth.
âLetâs us make characters dumb and weak or strong, to go on with our lore, it doesnât matter that this is inconsistent, letâs do this because ITâS COOLâ.

Digs into your past for secrets?
Dude, Anduin was like, âSylvanas, did Arthas killing you hurt your feelings?â Like that was some revelation to literally anyone. Then Sylvanas responded with, âactually it did, no oneâs ever askedâ.

Heâll be something akin to a DK, but I doubt heâll actually âdie, dieâ.
I would wager this is likely due to his connection to the Light and Faith that the Jailor found interest in. At worst, heâll âbecome the weaponâ for a time until the Jailor discards Sylvanas for whatever reason ⊠and she gives us the secrets to saving the Boy King.

They(Sylv and Jailer) are trying to make Arthas 2.
But heâs not tempted at all. Like, not even a little. He just wants to play Hannibal Lector with her instead.
Not even remotely. Some of the best moments in fiction are Talk-no-jutsu. But itâs easy to **** up.

So, uh.
Why did Sylvanas hesitate to kill Anduin, but did not hesitate at all to burn down Teldrassil? Or murder her own people at Arathi?

Is it bad that Iâm morbidly curious to see what a Light wielding Lich King Anduin would look like?
