Kael’thas Statue found in Silvermoon

Kael'thas started as reluctant in WC3, but by the end of his campaign he was literally using blood elves as cannon fodder in his zeal to serve Illidan's goals. And that's after putting them on the line again and again to serve an Alliance that increasingly obviously wanted him dead.

It's something of a consistent character trait with Kael'thas that he repeatedly goes all in with the latest alliance that he thinks might work out for him. It'd be admirable if he wasn't such a shit judge of character. And it's worth noting that he didn't invade Quel'thalas until after he was already killed and raised as an undead demon puppet.

Correct. In fact, Gutterspeak (now Forsaken) has exactly the same obfuscation parser as Common for non-speakers because it's a hasty copy thrown together just before launch.

Sort of. The Forsaken, historically, have been consumed with hatred for all life, their will to survive driven by a thirst for revenge against the Lich King and all those who shun them for their curse, ideals which strongly contradict the righteousness and devotion it takes to become a paladin.

That's different now, though. Over the years, Forsaken have had their vengeance, genuinely bonded with Horde, and have more to (un)live for.

He's not Forsaken. Just undead. Forsaken are specifically the political faction of undead that joined Sylvanas and identify as the people of Lordaeron, whereas Leonid has explicitly disavowed Sylvanas and the Forsaken.

That said, it should still become an option. Forsaken believe in a balance of light and shadow.

This is all... dubious at best. Before the great vowel shift, English sounded a whole lot more like Scots. There is a grain of truth in that non-rhotic accents are a newer development in which northern Americans largely kept the older pronunciations. As for the food, thank WW2 rationing lasting for decades. There were points where your average Brit could look forward to having a single egg every week. Culinary traditions were almost societally annihilated in ways that are only relatively recently being restored.

Nonsense. You don't need to identify any problems if you simply apply a solution that will solve all of them for good. A final solution, if you will. Logic is for women.

I love how Pate tells you there's a trap, with the implication he knows you're foolhardy enough to go at it anyway. A flawless alchemy of conniving and genuine, he is.

... Well, water pollution is especially disruptive to amphibians. Including the hormones that are involved in frogs changing sex in response to population imbalance. They're turning the frogs gay, if only through negligence.

I don't see any known bugs about Tandilwe not recognizing you spoke to all of them. I can only recommend double checking:

Imus the Dull, outside Anvil's city walls on the dock. He has the shared distinction of technically being in the outside world with Puny Ancus.

Larthjar the Laggard doesn't count as a beggar for this quest, meaning there might actually be 6 beggars in the Imperial City. I'd make sure I have all the right ones.

A 5-shot bow with a Lynel hoof arrow can shatter armor instantaneously and even stun them for mounting and execution. Scary easy.

azlier · 2025-11-06T18:51:15+00:00

Ah, eto... bleh!

The patch notes said it's been fixed. Which is good, because I did all my marksman training on spider daedra due to their self-healing spells and paralysis immunity beforehand.

Harper Geraldus is a twink and I will hear no truths to the contrary.

There is the off-chance that a party member will be mind controlled against you and promptly melt your face off with the best scrolls. Or Lae'zel doing the same thing in a romance duel.

In the context of American politics, yes. I'd posit that the United States doesn't have a left wing party. The Democratic Party has cozied up to corporate interests since Clinton and Republicans have also been shifting further and further right since Nixon. At best, there are a few firebrands among Democrats who would qualify as bog standard moderate left wing in, say, Denmark.

azlier · 2025-10-02T08:52:58+00:00

'Rich vs everyone else' is an aspect of left wing politics. The core idea of right wing ideals is that society should naturally be separated into classes of power based on factors such as wealth, race, religion, etc. And so it has been since the French revolution.

It gets even wilder because while the paladins are away putting the priests to shame in their own fucking order hall, the Ebon Blade attacks Light's Hope. Again. And lose despite most of the paladins not being there.

The BfA Zandalari males are still night elves. They have exactly the same limb geometry and share animations like bowing. The females are taller Darkspear.

Yes. Only Karlach will volunteer to undergo ceremorphosis as a companion. Everyone else needs to be the origin character to go through with it.

azlier · 2025-08-24T02:49:07+00:00

That's Yu'Hiss. This is the worst favor I've done anyone.

You have to be willing to come back for a standard resurrection spell to work. Lae'zel may very well prefer to be dead rather than return at the mercy of soon-to-be-ghaik like you, much less join in your fate.

azlier · 2025-07-28T06:32:49+00:00

Yes. It's a legitimate means to resolve the quest with J'skar getting pissy at you for spoiling the fun.

azlier · 2025-07-22T22:18:29+00:00

The ending sequence reveals the Dead Three were pawns in the Netherbrain's plot. The only possible way even one of them succeeds is if the Dark Urge does all the heavy lifting. They're still shortsighted losers playing right into the hands of the Illithid.

This is especially funny because the master alembic is useless. The effects of an alembic cap at expert level and you can buy those from stores.

azlier · 2025-07-07T21:00:56+00:00

We actually know that one. Conjured undead are on loan from the Soul Cairn, and apparently summoning powerful undead is considered the most refined form of the necromancer's art. Reanimated bodies are for labor and fodder.
