I've played Warcraft since the beginning, 1994, and I remember Alleria's part in the WC II campaign. She was my favorite hero from the "Beyond the dark portal" expac. Glad to see that she's getting her turn at being a main character for a storyline.
Now this is an actual High Quality post. A rare thing to see on wowhead these days it seems.Good job DISCORDIANKITTY.FYI the 3rd youtube link is broken, the video under "Xal'atath in Battle for Azeroth - A Deal With N'Zoth".
I don't really care about thee two characters, but I still don't want to see them butchered by blizzard writers.
Some fun trivia about Xalatath.She is voiced by Claudia Christian, who is probably most famous for her role in the 90's Sci Fi show Babylon 5 where she was second in command in the "Shadow War" against an alien race called the Shadows. Notably the Shadows come from the planet Z'ha'doum, which the weapon Zhar'doum is named after. Xalatath is almost certainly based on Xel'lotath, (an ancient known as the Goddess of Insanity) A more recent addition to the Lovecraft mythos she was featured in Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem. Notably Xel'lotath forces corpses to serve her by "assaulting them with a cacophony of voices" and literally torturing them back to life, similar to Xalatath's treatment of Inanis (FYI Inanis is the Latin word for 'void'). Her true form is a serpent or lamprey like body with 4 slender arms, red bloody hands, and a single eye for a head. She is known for having voices inside her that argue with each other.
Cool, this was a pleasant and good read to remember when I did it with my priest.
You seem to have made a pretty consistent typo here. knaifu/bae Blade is incorrectly referred to as "Xalatath"

IS SHE HER EX *!@#$%^ GIRLFRIEND?

In SL we had Tyrande chasing Sylvanas and we all know how great that storytelling turned out to be...Fingers corssed this one is a LOT better. 🤞🤞 And what's up with these Windrunner sisters anyway? They taking the "runner" part of their family name very serious or maybe even literally! 😣
I'd like a section about the sunwell's reaction to (was it alleria's Or other void elves' presence?) and the recruitment of void elves, because that's a one time scenario that we cannot experience again in game and I don't remember the details. Also, an interesting event regarding the second expansion, Midnight which is meant to head back to quel thalasLoved the read though!
Wow that's a lot to read. Now I know what to do while waiting for Elisande and Guldan to shup up. (253 tries and still no Jaraxxus toy)
No twitter haircut this time at least! Good stuff.
I just happened to be doing Seat of the Triumverate lately, so this is timely. I also had never done much of the priest order hall, so I'm checking that out, too. Still very confused about this whole story -- what is the Harbinger? etc -- but it's fun to read about. Maybe someday I'll learn the difference between Alleria and Tyrande and Sylvannas; for now they're just a muddle of angry elves, but they're starting to come into focus. And that's not counting Maiev, with the crazy shoulderpads, what's her deal. I know one of them is super mad at Illidan, but he might be dead now? Very confusing. Can you tell I have a terrible memory despite watching a ton of cut-scenes?
We'll find out everything in the next expansion. :)
