The Alliance in World of Warcraft is a wreck. Conflicts are brewing between Anduin Wrynn and Genn Greymane. We have information on how the story continues in 7.2.
More and more features of the upcoming update for World of Warcraft have been unlocked on the test server in recent days. This has also led data miners to extract new information from the data mountains, revealing some interesting developments. There are some spoilers here – you have been warned.
Obviously, the Alliance has not coped well with the death of Varian Wrynn, despite all efforts on the Broken Isles. Especially his son Anduin Wrynn is still trapped in mourning weeks later and seems to have fallen into lethargy.
Especially Genn Greymane, the leader of the Worgen, seems to be losing patience with him. Although he often treats Anduin “like his own son,” his patience is wearing thin.
At least Alliance members seem to be getting a quest where the leaders of the Alliance gather to discuss King Anduin – at least Genn and “the Prophet” (Velen) seem to be consulting each other.
Anduin himself has also received a lot of voiceovers. It seems that you will accompany him through the city of Stormwind – while he is in disguise. Whether he fears enemies within or simply does not want to be recognized by the people is not yet clear.
It is also exciting that Anduin’s faith in the Light seems to be waning:
“Since you returned my father’s compass, I have prayed for guidance to the Light and to know that his soul rests. The Light does not answer.”
Self-doubt also plagues him:
“My people like me. They respect me. But they do not believe in me.”
Apparently, Anduin has not come through the words of the dreadlord who wanted to kill him unscathed, as the comic would have us believe.
Anduin talks a lot about his predecessors and the heroes who have protected his life and ultimately had to pay the “ultimate price” – death. “Now is my time to do the same,” he says before setting off towards the Broken Shore.
Genn Greymane, on the other hand, seems to be getting fed up with the “whining” of the boy. He fears that the Alliance will break apart if he does not soon “understand the horrors of war and the sacrifices his soldiers are making for him. A king must know the weight of his commands – their price.”
“If a compass breaks its morality, what will it do when war reaches our doorstep?”
The recent developments in the Alliance are definitely exciting and will likely lead to some speculation and thrilling twists in the upcoming patches. After all, as the old Il’gynoth said in the nightmare?
“The young king sits at the master’s table. He will offer you three lies.”
Please note that the voiceovers are still somewhat chaotic and not necessarily orderly. Many files from other characters, such as Velen, are still completely missing. And what is happening with the Horde is also still in the dark…
The next addon seems to lead us once again against the Old Gods.
