Sure the horde has decided on new non-leadership. Got that.
What happens to the forsaken, our inability to procreate, and our free will from the lich king? Wasn’t sylvanas playing some kind of safeguard / beacon roll keeping us all free and preventing us from being more of the mindless undead? Or was that just during our rebirth or whatever.
Who’s in line for forsaken leadership? Is it a Deathstalker?
Lilian Voss is holding down the fort right now. But it seems obvious that Calia’s being built up to take over later on down the line.
The forsaken were free willed on their own when the Lich King lost control of them, Sylvanas wasn’t maintaining that. Those later raised by her val’kyr were also free willed. But she took all the val’kyr with her so the forsaken are now in limited supply unless something happens in Shadowlands.
I’ve never heard of that before. I think once an Undead is free, that’s it. The Lich King can’t gain control again unless they die or choose to rejoin the Scourge.
Blizzard also had one quest in Tirisfal Glades which suggested that Forsaken all became mindless eventually, but I think that’s the only time it’s brought up.
Well, without Sylvanas the Forsaken(who rose up in Cata-Legion) would probably all be in the Shadowlands right now as oppose to ending up aas mindless undead. Remember, we had killed Arthas at that point and generally, aside from some Scourge loyalist, any undead that was rising up was because of Sylvanas’ meddling.

I don’t think thats quite what happened. When the Lich King initially lost a chunk of power thanks to Illidan’s attack, only the strongest willed Undead were able to break free from his control due to his weakness. But I imagine it was a constant struggle to maintain their free will.
Right. But there’s still a lich king. Or was until SL? Which is kind of in part why i’m asking. Is bolvar dead now? Or did he just lose his lich king powers?
I would like to think the older or “first generation” Forsaken has stronger minds now and don’t need a guide… so to speak. When Sylvanas united them together, their minds were in a dark place. Tormented by their past. They should be passed all that and capable of electing a leader that’s not tainted by the Light.
