Jaina have really gotten mad with grief, wish Kalecgos can help her.. But I think Greymane would be more understanding if he knew what happened to the horde on the Broken Shore

Just want to say that I have followed the Wrynns all my life. Varian's sacrife broke my heart but as an Alliance, will not let his sacrifice go in vain, and I'll follow King Anduin just like I followed Varian to the very gates of hell.

We never fought alongside Varian at the Broken Shore... Varian Died under the sea. On that day we fought alongside the Ghost Wolf, the man who said in no uncertain terms. "Not the Defias, not the Naga, nor the fiery lords of the Burning Legion shall keep me from my people." The Ghost Wolf shall rise again my brothers and sisters of the Alliance.

Agreed, if Varian came back, even as a spirit or something like that, It'd be awesome. If he truly came back, I think Anduin would be like, "Thank the light... I have someone to guide be through this..." Either way, it'd be awesome.

Silver River I actually think it'd be an interesting dynamic between anduin and Varian because Varian from what I saw embraced his warrior side, on the Broken Shore . if he does return he won't be leading the Alliance. He'll be rising as a lone warrior, probably fighting back to back with Broll and valeera (or at least that's what I want because god dammit I want the crimson ring champions back together again)

You forget one small detail about him from the novel Wolfheart, he is... THE AVATAR OF GOLDRINN!! He is bound to the Emerald Dream! :D So Cenarius could possibly ressurect him easily as the Wolf he was known as all along!

The song is beautiful, and it's sad to be reminded that varian sacrificed himself so that others could live on. He died a hero, and for that, will be remembered.

oh wow is this sad! The song is so beautiful! Incredible! But listening to it while watching this video had me feeling it even harder! Amazing job on this song & video!

I've been alliance since day 1. Took a break from end of Wrath to last November. So much lore to catch up on. Watching Varian die was definitely a gut-punch. I've been a fan of the WCverse since the days of WC2: Tides of Darkness, and while my heart holds Arthas as the greatest character in the lore, Varian was there since my first days of TBC. The missing King who was abducted and returned later and took his people to new heights. I've seen this cinematic so many times and it always gets me. I saw your Arthas/Jaina song earlier and that hit me in the feels too, it's a double whammy if you've done the questline for Shadowmourne and get all those knick-knacks off Arthas at the end. And yet, this song made me cry. I cried all through the song, and I'm crying even now as I type this. Well done.

Sharm you never cease to amaze with your voice! We shall end the Legion! FOR VARIAN!!

I still like how Varian's death did exactly what he was supposed to do: He united Horde and Alliance (at least the players)... i mean does any Horde actually celebrate that the enemy's king is dead?

Let me start out by saying that I never really played any of the other expansion that much through. I usually just got to the max level and lost interest, so what I'm about to say might just be because I never really got into the game properly. BUT! I really just love this expansion, because it makes everything so personal. Usually, the end-game bosses just feel like another enemy I have to defeat. But in this, I feel like I need to push through to avenge the fallen. Varian, Vol'jin, Cenarius, Ysera, many other, even lesser characters like Runas in Azshara. All of these tragic incidents makes me truly passionately burn with desire to destroy my enemies. And even casual players can get to enjoy taking part in this avenging, since practiacally anyone can beat LFR content, even if LFR is usually delayed And we get unique weapons that are actually truly legendary, not just by stat. We literally have legends about them we can read in our order hall. Along with having proper order halls fitting the class instead of just garrisons, and a few champions with some depth to them instead of all those champions from dreanor, it really does feel like the character is more unique and personal. Also, QUESTING AS LOW ILVL IN SURAMAR CITY MAKES MY RAGE BURN EVEN MORE! AND THAT IS NO ILLUSION!

Sharm only thing that annoys me slightly is, that I don't even feel like the words I've written does the expansion justice. I feel like the expansion deserves more tribute than what my words have given it. I guess there's only so much that text can do. Which is why I love that so many artist like you guys and other musicians or painters or the like all make this art to honor the game and even enhance it so

Vol'Jin and Varian were my favourite characters. Well... The ninjas never ever cut the onions that hard before the scenes.

I am primarily an alliance player but I totally agree with you, I do not want to see the dark lady killed anymore than I want to see lady jaina killed but I fear the worst, I for one know the truth about the shore battle and the real reason the horde left, it was not treachery, it was not abandonment, there was no malice intended, they were ambushed from behind, their leaders wounded or killed and sylvanas had no choice but to retreat in order to save what horde forces she could, I did the scenario on both factions so I know the truth, there is way too much faction hatred among the players already, we dont need more hype and false rumors.

On of my alts found Varian's compass in the waters off the Broken Shore. The compass unlocks a quest chain that focuses on Anduin and includes a heart-wrenching cinematic. I followed through the quests with great trepidation, not trusting Blizzard, thinking they might turn the knife in the wound. This song of yours played in my mind throughout. Perhaps you would do a remake of the song video with clips from the compass quests and cinematic. I wish there was more material available on Tiffin. I agree with your song. Tiffin needs to be included in the advent of the young king's reign.

I thank Rowan for his lyric. Those lyrics found a redeeming blessing on what otherwise was so unnecessary and horrible. I wish Blizzard would curb its appetite for the ham-handed GoT plot device. GoT can get away with the arbitrary slaughter of central characters because it is a finite story. Azeroth is not. At least we have Varian's sword. I went looking for it afterward. It is not visible at the memorial or in the keep. I would assume Anduin put it away somewhere. There are some suspicious looking human remains where the sword was found, a skull, a scrap of armor, a shard of bone, lying in a patch of fel. If that is what I think it is, I wish Velen had collected it all and placed it in the crypt.
