Skoll Shorties

-too if such is their character fantasy. But they have always been and should continue to be dark. Even Forsaken priests are burned by the Light. Their entire culture, even the most noble parts, is seen through a lens of sarcastic morbidity or grim determination. -

It's very VERY easy to make this "middle ground" that non-Forsaken players want without outright inserting Calia on the throne. Calia doesn't represent a middle ground. She represents the polar opposite. People like Lilian or Faol are a middle ground.

Faol and Voss don't want to take up that position at all and that's where Calia comes in. Calia doesn't want the throne either but Forsaken NPCs express that they want her to lead and be there for them. She has Voss and Faol as advisers so that's how this can all work.

Skoll. It's not "Faol and Voss don't want to" it's the writers don't want those characters to do so. Their choices are just as much indicative of author bias as they are of genuine motivation. Forsaken expressing how bad they want her is again, a writer choice.

Faol and Voss have been written that way to not want to lead with the Forsaken. It is a writer's choice. We've had a writer's choice in Warcraft's lore for years now. Not everything the writers are gonna do are gonna make the players happy in a story. That's any given story.

I just want the writers choices to make sense and consistency for the characters. I don't see how or why the forsaken are seeing her as a healing beacon, I don't see how she helped Derek and I just wish they showed that instead of making him leave and come back fine.

I'm with you that I want them to show us what she's doing exactly too. But I'm honestly just not against Calia as a leader especially since Voss is helping her. Some of the Forsaken player base and I just aren't gonna see eye to eye on this one.

I just wish she was relatable to the forsaken playerbase. I don't even think she's relatable to the Horde playerbase though. She feels very Alliance.
