[BlizzCon 2015] Where is Wrathion in Legion?
He's definitely there
So I think he's thanks -- still in Pandaria right?
Well actually,
He may have some interest in the zone of Highmountain, which of course features Neltharion's Lair.
And that is a person of some interest
to Wrathion. So if he were to be lurking, that might be a good place to look for him.
[BlizzCon 2016] For those of you that played beta
Wrathion was around. We tried to get him into Highmountain in one of the quest lines and
More, so he doesn't fall off -- not that he was integral to the narrative. And we actually ran into a lot of problems with it
There's there was just time issues -- timetable issues that we just really couldn't get to work.
So you have things like Wrathion, who... we had no idea
where his arc would go and
it's just about who gets geeked up about the character or the
Whatever it might be and of the story and where they want to take it so that started out Badlands
And then the next thing you know it's all over the place, and it's awesome, and it's something we want to do more of so
[FinalBossTV 2017] We talked about plans for him for various other things
But right now nothing's really planned for Battle for Azeroth.
Next time I will leave nothing to chance!
NOTHING!!!
What is up everyone!
I hope everyone enjoyed BlizzCon last weekend and are as hyped as I am for some of the announcements made there
As much as I can go on about my thoughts and opinions for Battle for Azeroth
I want to focus on something that was not talked about during BlizzCon much to my dismay
and that is the Black Prince Wrathion himself
Quick warning that I will be freely talking about spoilers here
so if you want to avoid them this video might not be for you.
Ah, Wrathion, one of Blizzard's most complex characters with a fascinating origin story
and an excellently written morally grey character
He's one of the only purified black dragons out there and was a key character during Mists of Pandaria
He made it a point countless times that the Burning Legion was coming and his presence in that expansion could hardly go unnoticed
Hype built around him for so long and Wrathion was even a key player
in setting off the events that led to Warlords of Draenor. And since then,
Blizzard has pretty much dropped him out of the lore
Every year so far since his disappearance I've wondered
Why exactly they haven't put him back in?
Blizzard can come up with the excuse that they don't know where to take him as much as they want
But I won't buy it for a second. The last two expansions and now coming up third have had plenty of
opportunities for him to show up and partake in a role of some kind
And no, I'm not going to count the Warlord's cameo or the deaths of Chromie cameo as Wrathion content.
That is not good enough :(
See, for Warlords, Wrathion could have returned in any number of ways. An easter egg quest where maybe
Anduin enlists you to hunt down the black dragon through Draenor and bring him to justice
I say Anduin since they were friends throughout Mists, and Wrathion betrayed him during Hellscream's Trials
It could have entailed a quest line that could delve deeper into Anduin's character arc if say he were to
Sneak into Draenor with the player and then realized a true fear of war
Maybe even draw parallels between the first war that his own father witnessed as a child
This would give opportunity for Wrathion confront his actions, discuss whether or not this was a mistake
or fully intentional and what he plans to do next now that the Iron Horde is wreaking havoc upon Azeroth
or
Khadgar could have found him or Wrathion could have appeared at the end of any of the Warlord's raids and opened up a questline
where he enlists help from the players to find some artifacts or something to continue the quest to save Azeroth.
There were plenty of opportunities that could have been squeezed in somehow
Hell, even just two quests where he explains himself that it ends with him
Saying he needs to go into hiding again or something would have been better than
Whatever content this was
Also while I'm on the Warlords subject
I do want to note that during the Legion alpha when Wrathion was originally in it
He said that he wanted to create an army of orcs during Warlords, but it went awry with Hellscream
But technically, the orcs of Draenor kind of are allied with us after the end of Warlords.
Yrel said to herself that they'd be there if we needed them,
but it seems Blizzard wants to erase all evidence that they had of Warlords of Draenor even existing, so...
There's that
"If you ever need us,
We will be here."
"Until we meet again."
And I would have been able to forgive not having Wrathion in Warlords if it weren't for his absence AND
replacement in Legion. Legion was the one expansion that Wrathion absolutely should have been a part of.
Instead characters like Khadgar, Illidan, and Magni got the attention that should have in all respects gone to Wrathion
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn was originally going to be Wrathion but was cut and made into a separate character.
Doing this not only ousted Wrathion from a significant role in Legion
But also made him a little less special by saying Ebonhorn was ALSO a purified black dragon
Technically Wrathion should have at least been able to sense Ebonhorn
since it's said that Wrathion can sense the existence of other black dragons
Which is how he had them killed. If Wrathion wasn't going to be Ebonhorn,
They could have at least had him pay a visit to Highmountain to search for Ebonhorn
And maybe attempt to kill him and fail
The potential dynamic between him and Ebonhorn would have also provided some solid character development for the both of them
How would Wrathion feel to know that he's not alone and that he's not the only black dragon free from the Old Gods' corruption as well?
Would he maybe regret killing the other black dragons if he learned that he could have saved them instead with the Hammer Khaz'goroth?
And then there's the matter of Anduin now newly crowned king. Again,
there's some unresolved history between them and technically since Wrathion's betrayal led to Warlords,
which in turn led to the Legion to happen,
Wrathion is indirectly responsible even for Varian's death.
A lot of ground could have been covered if they were to reunite
Wrathion's crimes have gone unanswered for thus far and in my opinion, it should be Anduin to make some answer for it
unfortunately
All of these opportunities have been missed thus far
And it seems that Blizzard is about to try and miss yet another brilliant opportunity
We talked about plans for [Wrathion] for various other things
but right now nothing's really planned for Battle for Azeroth
It's bad enough that there are dozens of unresolved storylines that WoW has yet to touch on
but the one thing I've been counting on for years is Wrathion's return.
And I just don't want to go on another year of that
So here's an idea for how Wrathion could fit into Battle for Azeroth
First off,
I sincerely hope that we get a mention at the very least of Wrathion in the upcoming novel Before the Storm
by Christie Golden
That would be a perfect opportunity to reintroduce him to the storyline and I have a sneaking suspicion
Or at least wishful thinking that we might see him in it.
According to Ian Bates (or the redshirt guy)
Wrathion is currently in the Battle for Azeroth alpha - at least upon making this video
He can be found in a corner in a new spot in Stormwind known as the Alliance Embassy.
All other alliance leaders are present in that room as well as Wrathion. It's assumed
He's joined the Alliance since he isn't present in the Horde Embassy
And unless this is just a nifty easter egg that will get removed from the alpha just like he did the last time, I think
This is reason enough to suspect that he could at least get a passing mention of his existence in the book. Hopefully.
With the Allied races coming the Horde will be aided by the Highmountain Tauren which would also mean that Spiritwalker Ebonhorn would
most undoubtedly be among them. In this case, the playing field is even as both Horde and Alliance will each then have a
purified black dragon in their arsenal.
Wrathion could play a role as the Spy Master or work alongside the SI:7
and lead incognito missions. His ability to assume different illusions would help him immensely in sneaking
and spying on others, especially that of the Horde if need be.
After all, Wrathion has spent a majority of his time surrounded by rogues, so I'm sure he's learned a thing or two from them
He could also serve as Anduin's personal bodyguard and interact with the other rogues like Valeera and maybe even Tess Greymane
There could also be the opportunity to demonstrate conflicts of interest
Wrathion has made it known that his allegiances are his own and even though he last sided with the Alliance back in Mists
after Garrosh spiraled down, he could always just turn back depending on who's winning
What?
Yes, I was backing the Alliance.
I thought Hellscream's victory was assured before he turned half of his Horde against him.
So I changed my allegiance.
Oh don't look so surprised. I'm a black dragon, my loyalties are my own
but that idiot, IDIOT Wrynn. High King indeed!
Why did he allow another Warchief? He could have united the world under the Alliance banner.
What a fool I was to trust his ambition!
He simply wishes to see one faction prevail over the other rather than see balance between them
If he's close enough to the High King of the Alliance he could even attempt to manipulate the other leaders subtly by feeding
ideas to them.
For example: sowing more rage within King Greymane
Since his anger tends to get the best of him. If he can push others to make the decisions
they need to win the war, Wrathion would succeed
Outside of that, Wrathion would most certainly have interest in the Azerite spilling out. Sargeras wounded Azeroth,
and that gash in silithus can't just go ignored. Wrathion wants to protect Azeroth. He's a black dragon
He can hear the calls of the earth
Realizing such a horrible thing had happened to this world would hurt him and there's enough potential and that alone for him to make any
rash decision based off of it
All I'm saying is that there is potential
And I just don't see why Wrathion can't be squeezed into the lore. There's enough openings, enough to work with, enough opportunities
And yet they just keep getting dismissed or fulfilled with different characters. Like -- Hey listen,
I think it's pretty cool that Magni Bronzebeard gets to be the voice of Azeroth, but - but how about there's two of them hmm?
Wrathion's a black dragon
He should be able to hear Azeroth's call. Actually you know what?
Maybe that can be an excuse as to why Wrathion hasn't been around. Azeroth's been talking to him at the same time as Magni and
Wrathion has been running around the world trying to gather resources
and intel and how to better fight the war, all the while not being seen. Hence
why in the future we'll see him taking an interest in the Obsidian Dragonshrine in Northrend.
Come on! There's gotta be something he can do!
Well, what are your thoughts on Wrathion? What would you like to see him doing in the next expansion? Anything I miss here
you'd like to point out, or do you just not care about Wrathion in general? Let me know in the comments!
