The Jailer is the Main Villain of Shadowlands - Working with Sylvanas Since "Edge of Night"

posted 2019/11/02 at 4:54 PM by Neryssa

World of Warcraft Q&A PanelQ: Did the jailer in The Maw see the Legion as a threat which is why Sylvanas worked with Varian?

A: We'll find out more of her motivations in Shadowlands and that her relationship with the Jailer dates back a bit. Edge of Night story involves this relationship. Working with Varian was a long term strategy in order to get war chief - had to make allies but now we're seeing the fruition of that.Q: Identity of mysterious jailer - is he someone that we know connected to death i.e. Argus or Helya?

A: Intended to be a mysterious new figure - not someone we've met before but an important part of the cosmology of the Warcraft universe. Applying what we know about the universe to a new place. He's a center piece villain of this expansion.

Comment by EruanneTbh this is such a.... I read so many fanfictions with that plotline.
I just want her dead. Or if it has to be: On a island happily iwth nathanos and I never see her again.Comment by XupusI'm really intrigued with the story. Who what whyComment by RemireeeI'm really excited for the Jailer to be an eventual raid boss, he'll be so cool to fight, maybe it'll be a tandem fight him and sylvComment by MoltkeWas pretty obvious after yesterday's panelsComment by SaintGermannJuicy Lore ! :)Comment by SangfoudreSoooo the last raid boss?Comment by KralianI'm betting 10 bucks it's Mueh'zala and no Blizzard Employee can make me change my mind. I didn't believe in the 'Zala once. Never again.Comment by NyresI have to say I don't really believe this was the idea the whole time, i could have sworn she was talking to a Valkyr in that short story. Sure it could have been a disguse but this feels like a retcon to try and make their current mess of a story seem more cohesive. Good story telling would have shown more of this off over the years rather than a sudden suprise this who Slyvanas has been dealing with the whole time. Also cheapens the Legion opening with her and Varian quite a bit in my opinon.Comment by dclee85Interesting that the Jailer's influence goes so far back.Comment by WowFreakxGoing to be intresting to see who the Jailer isComment by WayfaringI can't wait to find out her true motivations.Comment by mssylvHmmm. I can see Sylvanas turning on him and killing him ...Comment by BernySinarajailer hm that is something new looks similar to Arthas but probably isnt...I hope we will have quest to ress LKComment by BubblepieLooking forward to seeing where the story takes us!Comment by sweetsmellSo what is the difference between the Jailer and the Arbiter?Comment by selkie47Hmmm, who could the Jailer be? I hope someone as good a villain as the LK, someone rememberableComment by TheDuellistSounds interesting, hopefully he lives up to the expectations!Comment by ShenziVery interesting, looking forward to more story!Comment by PeredhilSylvanas loyalists being reduced to mere puppets since before they could even feel the strings. "Edge of Night" is in Wrath ending timeline . Nicely done, make way for "for dark lady forever" and other submissive slogans.Comment by Kukulza72Well let's see how this jailer plot goes... I hope they don't mess up.
