Yrel’s “dark secret”
Anyone who has played the Warlords of Draenor expansion has witnessed how Blizzard gradually built up the Draenei Yrel. After being freed from captivity in the intro, she quickly becomes the hope of her people and even achieves the rank of an Exarch. Later, she is present in the final battle in Hellfire Citadel and helps to fend off the Eredar Archimonde. Finally, she announces in the closing video that she is “ready” when the other races need help.
Additionally, Yrel has some unresolved plot lines that are left hanging. On one hand, she received some power from Prophet Velen in the conclusion video of Shadowmoon Valley – what exactly this power entails has never been clarified. Furthermore, the developers revealed during the alpha of Warlords of Draenor that “Velen sensed a dark secret within Yrel and knew that she still had a significant role to play – for better or for worse”.
It is of course possible that we will see Yrel again on Argus or even take her there. Since she has had no appearance in Legion so far, that would be desirable.
Do you have theories about Yrel’s “dark secret”? And no, the idea that she secretly visits Goldshire probably doesn’t count.
