Thrall and Drakaimprisoned Runecarver

The assault against Desmotaeron proved successful. Helya has been banished back to Helheim by the Primus, and Vyraz slain. With the most immediate threat dealt with, the forces of the Covenant can now address issues closer to home.

In Revendreth, you, dodged heightened security with Moonberry and Cudgelface to find Huln. You found him with another former Night Warrior, the Stonewright.

After resolving some confusion, you all traveled to Ardenweald to participate in a ritual to save Tyrande. The ritual went awry, but everyone was saved when Elune, revealed to be the Winter Queen's sister, intervened. Tyrande's power was stabilized. Heart healed, the Winter Queen was able to restore Ardenweald's lost sigil.

So, since Kyrians are now given a chance to keep their memory I guess it's the perfect time for Alexandros to ask for a refund.

No Vol'jin involvement? Meh

Comment by warlocktank

the story is getting harder and harder to read

Comment by vorianloken

The voice-actor for the Winter Queen is a bit too deliberate with her delivery. Makes it come across as completely emotionless. Contrast with Kyrestia, Moonberry and Kleia. Excited for the Elune reveal however, it's about time we had some direct contact with one of the most important Azerothian deities.

Knowing Helya's story really makes that scene with the Primus skin-crawlingly horrid

Doesn't help that the story that led people into Shadowlands in the first place keeps being drip-fed and all details tightly guarded. It's like they're afraid of telling a concrete story because people will quit if they get closure.

Comment by CSM101

The Winter Queen's demeanour is almost 100% an intentional choice by the voice direction team

Comment by SilverDragon234

Aw, yeah! Adrestes for Paragon of Loyalty! Aw yes! Looking foward for the new patch already!

Comment by Itacolomi

I wonder if people gonna keep saying the sister of the winter queen is Eonar after this...

meh

Comment by Nulgar

Eh, write it up to the fact that at this moment, in addition to the Jailer's invasion, a living Night Warrior runs around her forest and threatens to blow up a good chunk of it. She's had a day.

No Bwonsamdi either :(

The loa and vol’jin are awaiting rebirth /sleeping in pods atm. That was seen already.

Yes, that's the whole content of 9.1, three clunky cutscenes. Moreso, Blizzard has read your message and finally saw reason, so they decided to sell the company as you suggested. We'll never see these cutscenes in-game, congratulations.

Comment by Romanthony

no gonna lie, the whole Helya storyline feels... Disappointing, shes like "Hi guys im back" in one patch and the next "Screw you guys im going home" but then again blizzard are used to wasting plot lines

Removed(##RESPBREAK##)272##DELIM##Uchur##DELIM##Trolling I need to apologize to WOD and BFA, this is the worst writing and animation I've ever seen in WoW. The worst part is that some people think this cringefest is good, I guess the blizz shills have done it again.

Comment by Valrenar

Game was better without story. TBC as a proof

Comment by LegionRuinedMonk

It would have been way better if they treated Shadowlands as an undiscovered frontier with Bolvar being the expedition lead, instead of Hub zone + 4 discovered covenents (FOUR AND THATS IT INTO INFINITY), that way they could have more room to write a more interesting story and explore different ways of characters/factions working together much like the prologue and use that clean canvass for future content for the expansion...
....but Danuser sure loves his anime and twitter trends so nuts to that. *anime pose/power charging stance while Huey Lewis' The Power of Love plays off in the distance*

You! I like you and your taste ;) Btw. It's Devotion now, not loyalty
