Thrall as a guardian?
Return to board index
Post by

so i readed that thrall maybe would become the new guardian,
but from the lore view there are some things that doesnt make sense,
1 thrall is a shaman, the elements stand at his side, if he would become a guardian he would go use magic, and magic controlling the elements AGAINST there will (so he would betray the elements)
2 thrall nows that if garrosh hellscream go lead the horde, that would be a suicide with nobody to stop him from killing allaince every time he get the chance(unless thrall is realy realy stuppid)
3 orcs arent mages becouse they prefer more "warroir" traditions
So can someone explain to me why Thrall could be
guardian whithout creating a war between the allaince, and elixe the elements from him?

I'm just as stumped as you about this whole thing. Given its been put forward as speculation for the new expansion.
What has Malfurion Stormrage got anything to do with the guardians of tirisfal, he's a druid, he doesn't train in the methods of arcane, he follows the balance of nature, so it would go against this own code of conduct as much as it would Thrall.
If this 'specualtion' was made in the games lore, it would convince me that blizzard really are hiring hack writers for the games lore, because it would have Seriously lost the plot.

Well it would fall in line with the fact that Night Elf Mages will be available in the following xpac (supposedly).

So Malfurion's gonna become a Mage?
I can
totally
see them doing that if this lore ends up being true.

They've been messing with lore for 3 years, why not totally ruin it and make Malfurion and Thrall Mages, eh?
Your right, it makes no sense. And I hear that Malfurion is coming back from the
Emerald Dream
to help "train" the new Guardian. But what the
HELL
! Malfurion has
NOTHING
to do with Thrall, the new Guardian, the Tirisfalen, or
any
of it! He's been knocked cold for years, and just suddenly he's getting up to help train Thrall to become the next Guardian?
No. Just no.
And Thrall, he's a Shaman and Warchief, he's wary of magic and doesn't like anything beyond him Shamanistic powers, he's said so himself in the Lord of the Clans. It's just stupid.
If he becomes the Guardian and gives Garrosh command of the Horde, I quit WoW. Honestly, I will quit.

whats up with everyone interested in the Guardian of Tirisfal
i mean the *old* Council perished long ago, and now there isnt even a Guardian of Tirisfal anymore, since like a long time
and now suddenly wants to know whos the new guardian
Because apparently Thrall is the new Guardian of Tirisfal and Malfurion has come back from the Emerald Dream to train him?
Where have you been mawn? =P

There is a new council being formed, but no way in hell is thrall being made the Guardian when the son of Medivh and Garona, Med'an, is running around. Again, pretty much all the so called "lore" bull crap for this supposed Leak came off of SomethingAwful.

You disagree with which part Del? That the council is reforming(check current issues of the comics) or that the "Lore" info from Somethingawful.com is real? Cause if it's the second, buddy I have a bridge to sell you, and you can get it cheap.

Eh, somethingawful is a sesspool of crap, built on a dump, with a dead wildabeast below it. Anyways, like I said, this whole Thrall Guardians/Garrosh Warchief, is just crap to hide the fact that the destruction is coming with 2 new races.
So their going to kill Med'an then to make him pass his powers onto Thrall? Because the kid is starting to show the powers of his father, and it would make more sense for Thrall to train his Shaman side, but what Malfurion, who hasn't had anything to do with the Council and the Guardians the entire time they've been in existence makes no sense as well.

That nothing there makes sense ^^.
Most do.
As far as I recall, only Thrall thing and every surviving Goblin being washed into the same island doesn't make sense.How does Thrall passing the Warchief title onto Garrosh for no apparent reason make sense? How about him not seeming to do a damn thing when Garrosh kills Cairne?

I meant that the "leak" has some points that make sense, mostly the new class combinations (except for a couple of those) and the new races (although they seem a little too "fan speculation pleasing" for me).

Didn't I say that as well?

i loled.
I completely agree, Thrall (a
shaman
) becoming the guardian and Malfurion (hello,
DRUID
) training him makes no sense. Neither does the thing about goblins joining the horde. (the reason behind it supposedly, ofc, I know the goblins have sided with the horde in the past) While I could see some Night Elves returning to the old ways and becoming mages, Malfurion would
NOT
. He was never interested in that even when that was the norm, why the heck would that change now?
*shakes head* no i completely agree that the whole Thrall becoming guardian thing is a huge, steaming pile of BS left out in the sun on equatorial africa at noon >.<

That, together with Thrall's sucession and the Tauren's incredible loyalty, are essentially the part that makes no sense. Although I could say (with incredible pleasure from both me and certain Mary Sue hating priest out there) that Med'an's lore never existed (as far as I know it wasn't included in the game yet) and that the Guardian will be restored with different powers, although I suppose that Thrall becoming a Guardian is what justifies the Orcs becoming mages (which is one of the combinations I hate with a passion).
Med'an's lore exist, and yeah I admit, having him the son of Medivh is messed up but still, nice to see the Guardian is coming back, but nothing justifies Thrall becoming a Guardian, just because again, he's not of this world(by that I mean the orc species), and I really doubt that Aegwynn would risk putting the power of the Guardian's into the hands of a creature from a race that was at one time a servant of the Legion, look what happened with Medivh.
And before anyone jumps on this: Yes, Med'an is a quarter Orc/Draenei and Half Human, but I think between the Draenei blood and the human, it would make him enough of a creature of "Light" for her to trust (helps that he's her grandson as well), not to mention his great uncle is Maraad, who is a paladin of Light, and would help.
Honestly, Med'an was probably suppose to be the next body Sargeras intended to take over after he burned out Medivh. It would make so much more sense for this to occur then shoe-horning Thrall into the Guardian, espically when you think about it in terms of in-game; probably 60% of the WoW population has no idea what the Guardian is, and all they know about Medivh is that we had to kill things in Karazhan which was his tower.

But one word about this whole debacle, or is it two?
