From WOW TBC Classic Gold the cartoon, Uther's soul arrives on the doorstep of this Kyrian in Bastion, as there's some type of afterlife sorting system which places souls where they belong in the Shadowlands. However, Uther can't let go of his life, and he thirsts for justice. He is chastised for it for a while before Devos, the Paragon watching over him, finds that his spirit is injured from Frostmourne, the Lich King's blade
Now, I could probably go into super-deep detail about why any of this matters, but I will save myself the effort, and also you the agony of digging it. What matters is the runes on Frostmourne are seemingly from the Maw, an area of the Shadowlands where just the most wicked, irredeemable souls are cast. And, Arthas, who has caused so much harm, by apparently channeling the power of this maw, was cast into that evil place from the soul of his youth teacher who died by his own blade.
This is an animation that's totally in the world of fan service but it's totally working.
It's not just a secret that I'm chomping at the bit to receive my hands on World of Warcraft: Shadowlands -- I was already sold by the Vampires.
I kind of had a notion that Blizzard would be using the fact that we will essentially be questing through the afterlife to revisit a bunch of old characters, but if that is what we're going to see from that, I am even more excited. Through the history of Warcraft within the last 26 years, there have been a great deal of amazing personalities -- both good and bad -- which have bit the dust in 1 manner or another.
I have not been playing these games since their inception, I'm not old enough, but I have been playing long enough to get a load of sentimental attachment to plenty of personalities, especially buy TBC Classic Gold ones which are no more with us. |
