PTR Posted 2019/10/24 at 6:45 PM by Squishei

Story SpoilersIntro

Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: Submit, Azshara! Beg forgiveness for your failure! Your betrayal!
Queen Azshara: Impudent underling! You will... address me... as queen!
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: Insolence only prolongs your agony! You will break, or I will carve out your defiant tongue!
Queen Azshara: More likely, Xanesh... Azeroth's champions... will be the ones... to silence you...
Queen Azshara: Release me! Only I possess the means of defeating N'Zoth.

Wrathion: We fulfilled our end of the bargain, Azshara. Now honor yours.
Queen Azshara: Mind your tone, whelping. A queen keeps her promises. Listen closely, as I will only say this once.
Queen Azshara: For all his bluster, N'Zoth was ever the weakest of his kin. One vestige of their power yet remains that can be turned against him.
Queen Azshara: I would have driven this blade into his foul heart myself... had you not disrupted my plans.
Queen Azshara: No matter. Xal'atath is yours, mortals. Strike true. Should your first blow fail, you will not survive to attempt another.
Queen Azshara: Now go and do what you will. I tire of intermediaries and heralds. The true throne of power beckons, and I intend to claim it.
Wrathion: Azshara has a fondness for games. I will examine this dagger for signs of treachery. But for now, let us continue.

I'm gonna fooking flip mate.Comment by apedosmilIf Azshara is gonna be somehow redeemed and alive in the next expansion or even one after that but Sylvanas dies. I'm gonna fooking flip mate.Comment by germanpieoooooooh so she's not dead, and isn't a total bad guy. She's getting the illidan treatment it seems i'm not complaining that just means a chance at nagaComment by GartI would guess we don't actually kill N'zoth in the cutscene with the heart. We weaken him and then a real cinematic plays with Wrathion sealing N'zoth in the dagger.Comment by timepolice01If Azshara is gonna be somehow redeemed and alive in the next expansion or even one after that but Sylvanas dies.

We didn't kill Gul'dan after freeing him from the Iron Horde because it was a single adventurer who did so. We didn't kill Grommash because he (begrudgingly) joined our side after being imprisoned. Here, Azshara is still very much a villainous character, and we have an entire raid party who already took her out once. There is literally no reason to leave her alive in this situationComment by JetLightWolfSo... why don't we kill her, again? She's just as much a threat as N'Zoth is, if not more.

He should have at least been put on an Elba type island.

I hope Azshara isn't Illidan redux, and she's trying to trick us.Comment by ShuyinVardizSo... why don't we kill her, again? She's just as much a threat as N'Zoth is, if not more.
