An undead elf in World of Warcraft has disappeared. Has the prince of Azsuna already made a pilgrimage to the next addon?
Patch 7.3 of World of Warcraft has been active for about 10 days. While most players are frolicking on Argus and watching Illidan beat up ancient creatures of light, other things are being overlooked.
A NPC from World of Warcraft: Legion has been sorely missed since the last patch – Prince Farondis.
The prince was in his decaying palace until the launch of Patch 7.3, from where he ruled over the cursed, undead elves of Azsuna – at least after completing the questlines surrounding him. But now he can no longer be found in his palace in Azsuna.
This is obviously not a bug – because Blizzard has also re-recorded many of the world quests in Azsuna. Where Prince Farondis once gave the instructions, Nightwatcher Idri is now in charge and explains to players what they have to do. Only in one quest can you still hear Farondis, but that could be a mistake.
Does Farondis’ disappearance have anything to do with Azshara?
Queen Azshara, the former leader of the night elves and current ruler of the naga, still has a score to settle with Prince Farondis. He rebelled against her rule and subsequently cursed the inhabitants of Azsuna. When Farondis defied her again in Legion, Azshara threatened him, stating that “her wrath is yet to come.”
Theories are now suggesting that Prince Farondis will be a protagonist in the next expansion, in which the naga will also play a role. Perhaps he was kidnapped or is searching for a magical anomaly that will begin new quests in WoW 8.0?
In World of Warcraft, characters have disappeared during patches and expansions when they change their position or Blizzard has subsequently adjusted the lore. For a long time, the king of Stormwind was in the catacombs of the island of Alcaz.
What do you think of the disappearance of Prince Farondis?
Jaina could also play a major role in the next addon – we have detailed her story here!
