AU where Balnazzar isn't stupid and instead of killing and impersonating Dathrohan during the Third War, he impersonates Calia Menethil

Calia is missing, either dead or intent on never showing her face again, making a prime candidate for impersonation

Being the princess of Lordaeron and the heir to the throne, the remnants of the Silver Hand would fight to the death for her, and with way more conviction than just for one of the first paladins

The amount of damage that could be done wielding the face of a powerful woman cannot be understated. I wholeheartedly believe that Calia-Balnazzar could make them whipped up into the Scarlet Crusade frenzy like. four months tops.

She's the princess. What are you going to do, argue with her? Tell her no?

None of the paladins likely know her that well, so Calia-Balnazzar could bullshit damn near anything she wanted to, while Dathrohan-Balnazzar would be constrained incredibly.

POV you're ill from a ~mysterious illness~ and the big tiddy priestess princess herself tends to you and comforts you and agrees that your dad really is shitty :( you should do something about that :)c

Realistically speaking, they would have to arrange a marriage for Calia-Balnazzar for when they reclaimed Lordaeron, and there's so many good options to pick from (for Calia-Balnazzar to have an easily manipulated husband). (Also no one knows real Calia is married with a child).

Taelan: sad man but he's well respected and the Lord of Hearthglen, where all their operations have been based out of. Too depressed about his dad to be any real hindrance to any schemes but that also means he might lack that driving force of pure insane zealotry.

Renault: younger, more emotionally unstable, clearly wanting someone to validate him. He's going to destroy whatever you point to with some hyping up, but he's definitely going to destroy himself at some point if he doesn't calm the down, and you're not going to want to be standing next to him when that happens

Darion: fairly younger, but that makes him more manipulable, and this whole 'recovering Lordaeron' nonsense is taking a while anyway. Sad about his dad so don't mention you encouraged Renault to kill him, but like. This is Darion we're talking about. Mister "I will interpret whatever you say into 'kill yourself for me' and then do it." He's going to be ride AND die if you don't fuck it up. You will need another man after he dies though. Well maybe not he's rather committed.

Decent chance Sally smites her. This crusade is NOT big enough for two bad bitches--there's a reason why Brigette Abbendis fucked off to Northrend--and it defintely isn't when Calia-Balnazzar is cozying up to Renault.

I want to say Sally/Calia-Balnazzar for the fun of it but I legitimately cannot imagine Sally doing anything more than tolerating her, even with the mind control shit.

Real Calia currently larping her tradlife with her unnamed husband and child finding out that the Princess has been found and that she's to be wed once the kingdom is returned and deciding she's not going to touch that with a thirty foot pole >>>> the FUNNIEST Before The Storm scenes imaginable if the crusade does manage to reclaim Lordaeron

#basically i think the problem with a lot of the dreadlord stuff is that its written from a male perspective #metzen i can fix that if you ever bring them back shoot me an email #also dont ever bring them back #warcraft

Like. Legitimate question here. All my periphery knowledge of him is that he's a normal guy? He's just kind of emotional at times? But every time I see a post about Halduron on here it's implying he's too dumb to breathe on his own.

Why does every post I see about Halduron Brightwing imply he's dumb as shit.

She killed with this look. She also failed miserably to kill with that look. Truly the cringefail girlboss of wow.

"Oh, but we don't know for sure if she did that, that could've been—" she literally levitated a rock over to smack Anduin's horse so it would throw him off a fucking cliff and kill him.

i think the funniest thing about the stonemason riots lore is katrana definitely hit tiffin with that rock with her black dragon powers and just no one mentions it because none of the characters realize thats what happened

#warcraft #i cropped out the cliff for the sake of the tumblr post but trust me its there

When I say "Arthas was right about Stratholme" I'm thinking purely about the W3 mission and no other iteration because Mal'ganis was literally poaching the city for undead minions. It's a foot race against him. You have to balance killing him to stop him gathering the sick townsfolk and slaying the townsfolk WHICH if you ARE having a moral objection to killing townsfolk, you can literally wait six seconds before attacking them, as in those six seconds they begin to mutate into ghouls, and still complete the mission. No innocents killed, just mindless undead.

But blizzard had to make a cohesive narrative and so many details of that have changed since then so now Arthas just goes around caving in the heads of wide eyed children like an absolute freak and I see why people get so up in arms about the issue.

#warcraft #arthas 🤝 scarlet crusade #fuck anyone who LOOKS at grain wrong #was gonna type 'arthas wouldve been a great scarlet crusader' then i went 'no he wouldnt he wouldve went nuts' #which i think wraps back around into him being a great scarlet crusader

Katrana Prestor literally spent years stoking tensions between the house of nobles and the stonemasons guild just to have the riots happen so she had a plausible story for why a pebble was flung at high speeds and perfect accuracy to hit a woman square in the head and kill her instantly.

@transchromememorysaver-blog I love Dave, I do, I'm in his discord, I watch his streams, but his answer of "Arthas should've listened to Medivh and just gone to Kalimdor" is so wildly removed from addressing Stratholme it's laughable. "Arthas was wrong to so it because it was actually a zero sum game and he's just too dumb to realize that" is not an answer.

#warcraft #GRANTED arthas acted before he knew malganis was doing that so like. theres some more grey area there #but like. that city was fucked. it was screwed. there was no time to 'look for other solutions' #malganis was at the other gate going heehoo free scourge
