If implications of Shadowlands became known in RP, it would break many character concepts, motivations and pretty much everything. This is why you have so many characters that just don´t get over Fourth War, or how there were disproportionate amount of Horde Rebels during BfA compared to lore. Azeroth just keeps on going as if nothing happened.īut, in RP, we often ask these questions and RP their consequences. Unfortunately, Blizzard has never bothered to ask how this revelation would influence the world and instead the characters treat Shadowlands as some normal place and the fact that everyone goes to Hell is glossed over. This is why so many fantasy authors leave this question unanswered. If we ever got an answer to it, it would reshape our society and culture in ways we cannot even imagine. The question of what comes after death is arguably the greatest question humanity has asked. Your character doesn’t need to acknowledge the events of the Shadowlands - in many ways it would be difficult for them to find out about the main plot of the expansion and often requires the player going out of their way to upload that info their character’s brain from the wiki. Ultimately the lore is the shared foundation on which we write out stories, and it creates really awkward situations when two people meet where one person adheres to the lore and the other lives in a parallel reality with their own made up things. There’s worldbuilding choices I strongly disagree with, but in between the lines there’s genuinely good things too that I’d hate to have to ignore. This is important because the Chronicles 1 made all planes of the Shadowlands out to be a nightmare-scape, which cast some question into the previous mention of the ancestral plane in The Shattering and War Crimes for orc and tauren respectively. We finally received a description of the orcish ancestral plane, which was described as a eternal hunting fields stretching into eternity reminiscent of Nagrand where the ancestors feast and hunt. As I mentioned in my response, despite all the flaws of Shadowlands, there were some worldbuilding elements which I found were ultimately for the better.
