I didn’t play the Kyrian covenant campaign, so this has been really confused. I’ve read a few Wikis, but I still don’t understand why Devos and her Forsworn decided to team up with the Jailer? Isn’t the reason Forwsworn were created due to Devos seeing Uther’s damaged soul? Damaged by the power of the Maw via Frostmorne? Why team up with the Jailer then if that pissed her off so much?
I get that this created doubt at “The Purpose”, but why not just create a totally separate faction?
Madam, this is a preposterous statement. DeVos was quite right that we need to be armed to protect our schools from potential grizzly bear attacks when Jesus is not present. As a schoolteacher myself I personally witnessed at least 7 different attempted grizzly bear attacks, including the infamous bowling green siege years ago. Unfortunately the pro-grizzly media attempted to cover it up.
Many of the forsworn weren’t aware of their ties to the Maw, it was mainly the upper echelon in knowing league. Even Uther didn’t know about it.
The Jailer promised power. Devos couldn’t conquer and hold Bastion just by themselves. She had no grudges to Zovaal and was more upset with the Archon’s ways than she was with the Maw’s. Her doubts and inner conflict ended up spiraling her further down the dark path so she got worse over time than how she started in that cinematic. It’s been years since WC3 and Uther’s arrival.
She believed the Purpose itself was wrong. If the Jailer was going to rewrite the Shadowlands anyways then their goals aligned and better to stay on his side. Her enemy was the loyal kyrians so she avoids having him as an enemy in the long run, gains a strong ally and is more likely to take Bastion. It’s a win-win either way.
I don’t think Devos was aligned w/ anyone.
She just, after much push back, decided to go her own route which corrupted that spirit and good being into a darker version.
The Archon wasn’t convinced by how alarmed Devos was, so decided the best way to show her the threat of the Maw was to join it and bring death and destruction to Bastion. Once the Archon was dead, then she’d understand!
Current writers are clearly fond of adolescent anime.
The writers stopped making sense when the Horde survived Siege of Orgrimmar. Why are you surprised by Devos siding with the guy who made her betray her path in the first place? That’s like asking why the Horde went along with a crazy undead who wanted to kill all living (including them).
And it was a stalemate, neither side won. But the bears wouldn’t stop attacking us and raiding isolated farms and villages. Lucky for them, they’re in the endangered species act, which means they can freely attack us and there’s nothing for us to do.
How fascinating, I must do more research on this. I had heard of the legendary Emu War the Australian bogans fought against their avian rivals, apparently they were routed quite handily and many of the machine gun emplacements they set up proved ineffective.
