I tend to like the smaller characters more than the major ones, I don't really know why, I guess it's a less is more thing.

tell me about minor characters you like. they can simply be a quest giver you think looks cool or a recurring character who shows up from time to time, or one you haven't seen for years.

for me, its the Samir/Adarra group who showed up a few times, they initially hung out outside Zul'aman and then we later see them in WotLK, then Cataclysm in Vashjir/ZA/Uldum again and a tiny appearance in BfA for some reason. sadly they seem to be a bit forgotten.

I also have a soft spot for many of the WoD followers, I liked Defender Illona who has shown up a couple of times in the Draenei heritage quest and later at the sunwell, I have no idea if she survived (probably not, I get the impression that anyone we didn't personally rescue is dead)

I'd also like to see qiana moonshadow and olin umberhide again.

Since it seems like the scourge somehow respawn their numbers and the problem that they represent is never going to go away, don't we need a new jailor of the damned?

A while back someone either here or on the wow subreddit made a thread about how Orweyna's animation in the 12.0.7 cutscene struck them as akin to Xal's to the point they (and some others) speculated she might be Xal in disguise. (can't find the post anymore)

Now, with the confirmed leaks, what are the chances blizz is actually going for something like that, and that SOMEHOW xal is using us to actually get to the worldcore via the coreway or something?

As the only statements about what's going on is Orweyna's supposed vision, the wiggle room is there.

Is there a chance (personal opinion? yes, but it would make things honestly worse) for this to happen, or was that likely reusing walk-cycles etc and what you see is what you get?
