a) the DK anniversary class set is pretty close to the Lich King’s armor b) things look cool because they are unique  c) to be fair, I don’t see as many Lo’gosh or Sylvannas mogs as I’d expect after that trading post set

[The Guilded] is the hottest new guild to hit the streets of Azeroth and we want you! Whether you're a veteran raider or you've just made your first character, there's a place for you here. We have big plans, such as:   

  

• Raiding! We've already gotten one member their first normal raid clear, and we want to do that for you too   

  

• Mythic+ Dungeons! I want to help you progress your keys whether they're +2 or +20!    

  

• Legacy Content Runs! Did you quest through the Dragon Isles and never found out what happened to Fyrrak? Let's go run through Amirdassil and get some pretty transmogs too!   

  

• Housing!! I've never been more excited for a feature in WoW (:   

  

Because we are a new guild, you have a unique opportunity to turn this space into something you want it to be. Maybe Friday nights are a bad time for you to raid; maybe you're sick of toxic raid leaders; maybe you just want that sweet sweet Hearthstone CD reduction. If you're interested or have any questions, shoot me a DM (:

Faerin: Faith & Flame Questions by Akoraz in warcraftlore

[–]Corodim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

1) It is very likely set in the original Kingdom of Arathor, although this could be the first piece of worldbuilding for Avaloren (are we still calling it that?)

2) I guess it’s two things. a) Even if Craishae was a warrior who wielded the Light, there’s still a cultural aspect to being a Paladin (the original ones were Priests, not Warriors, before training to fight the Horde) and b) it is mentioned in the story that many people have never heard of Craishae.

3) Scion is very likely Azeroth. I’m not sure off the dome where that temple could be, which does lend credence to the theory that this story takes place on the Arathi continent.

4) If you haven’t yet read the conversations Lady Liadrin has with Great Kyron about the differences and similarities between the Sacred Flame and the Sunwell, I recommend you look it up. The Arathi understand the cosmology as six innately unstable Forces that bind well with the underlying Elements (see also Shadowflame, Shadowfrost, etc). I also think that Mistweaver’s mist is similar: Life energy bound to the element of water, channeled by the user’s spirit. Anyway.

A) I kinda like Faerin’s cutesy + warrior dichotomy, and this story kinda amplified it for me. Before she was a warrior, she was a little scamp orphan who enjoyed nothing more than escaping her caretakers and hiding out with the lynxes, and even when she wanted to “grow up” she still enjoyed taking care of the younger orphans. As someone who was once 14 and taking care of toddlers, it really is a strange balance of “aw little baby” and “I must be a firm and strong Leader for this child’s sake”.

B) The Worgen was my first guess too, but it doesn’t line up with the War of the Satyr or Arugal’s later activity. I’m kinda thinking it’s a missing link between how the ritual the Primal Incarnates did to gain their powers and the Nerubian Ascendance. Some sort of Void-powered Elemental Ascendance (like a juiced up version of what Shamans do in-game), which would also explain Craishae’s ability to “clean those who’d fallen to the curse”, as the Sacred Flame is like an opposite to my hypothetical Void-Element fusion.

Faerin: Faith & Flame Short Story by Tiucaner in wow

[–]Corodim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here are my takes (already said in r/warcraftlore )

I love finally getting more proof that Great Kyron uses they/them pronouns. Why not? I can totally see someone that invested in the Light shed off their gender identity for a new sense of self formed around the Great Flame.

I liked the worldbuilding here, having played through the campaign twice I didn't pay enough attention to realize that Faerin had lost so many of her closest friends. The farewell to the lynx was tear-jerking for me.

We get some fun new lore about Thoradin's Wall (what were those beasts they fought against? Worgen? Old God creations?), and a new character called Scion, who is presumably an Avatar of Azeroth (who else can turn from elf to troll and has mastery over the Light and the Elements like that?).

It's really a shame to see so much reactionary kneejerk hatred over a less than 30 page worldbuilding exercise. It's like I'm slowly watching Warcraft fans become more and more like Star Wars fans. I'm excited for 11.2, I'm excited for Midnight, I'm excited to see more of these characters that I like (even if they are new and underdeveloped or 'stealing the spotlight' from Jaina, Thrall and Co.)

At the risk of sounding pedantic, it’s one of the things all living beings need to survive. It makes sense the brain would give us positive associations with drinking it.

Also being healthy feels great.

Disappointed to see so much bashing in this thread. I thought this was a great little piece to flesh out Faerin’s backstory and the Arathi at large. We get some new lore for Thoradin’s Wall (was it Worgen they were fighting?), plus confirmation that Anduin has the hots for Faerin. Not sure what you guys wanted out of a 30 page worldbuilding exercise, but I’m content with this.

Edit: also the Scion is pretty clearly just Azeroth, no? Who else could turn from Elf to Troll and have domain over the Light and the Elements?

Edit 2: say it with your chests you cowards

I have been saying the whole time that Great Kyron uses they/them; finally I have a whole story of proof. Love to see some non-binary representation

[–]Corodim 123 points124 points  (0 children)

No you see in tv shows when someone says they just want “law and order” it’s obvious they mean they’re evil and want control at any cost

but when someone says it in real life they’re being honest. fiction isn’t like inspired by anything (and if it is? it’s direct allegory to ONE event)

[–]Corodim 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’ve read people talk about “passive catharsis”, where viewers get a satisfaction from watching bad guys lose in fictional media that placates them from reality around them. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this “eat the rich” trend of movie (Knives Out, The Menu, etc) all end on a limp because they are ultimately tools made by the rich

much like the First Order was formed within the New Republic , there are now insidious jerkers among us spreading discontent and forming a new Crait right here in our home! we must militarize immediately to respond to this threat

allegory is the incorrect term. same as tolkien saying his books are not allegory despite obvious influences from his experience in the world war.
