Torkazi/Dreamfiller

Makes interacting with characters/RPers who do get it thrilling

Not in the power fantasy sense, but the "I'm a ghost flickering through the ages, I'm a walking paradox of being both untethered to the world of mortals races but nevertheless brimming with unadulterated awe/love/hatred for them"

i swear torkazi's hairline is worse than what the art implies

befriending would be farcical for both sides so

behold her mettle against some guards, and then a cheeky magic binding while she's distracted

yeah that's slimy enough

🔮 MIDNIGHT SPOILERS 🔮

Please, PLEASE, do not villain bat him, please let us have a guy who is complex and not always "right" without killing him. He sounds like such a wonderful character I don't want him to die. We deserve a male troll character to stay for good after Vol'jin, Zul and Rastakhan.

This quest has been changed on the alpha!

You are now explicitly given a personal choice between aiding the blood elves in escalating the conflict, or attempting to de-escalate by dissuading the blood elf forces.

Incan terrace farms. I can't understand how they didn't go for these along those playdoh mountains

The level design/worldbuilding gigabotch of a decade, cause how do the mountains surrounding Zuldazar look like plain claydoh without a single Incan Terrace Farm on their ridges

The easiest use of in-game realstate during the theme park level design of the late 2010's and its completely absent

Whereas in BFA Zul's goons can't shut up about how much they love blood and hate the Loa

Yeah but even then you didn't hear the Defias yelling "for Onyxia!! The Dragons will rule the world!"

Though in the case of that tooltip it's defo Dazar'alor!!!

It's so wishywashy, but Blizzard's fault not being clear - Dazar'alor (in-universe) is the great pyramid in the centre of Zuldazar, the city itself - naming the whole zone as Zuldazar was a gamey necessity I guess

And it's not just Zul; he held real ideological and political sway that appeared to strike a chord with the Zandalari populace - it wasn't just a dumbing down of Zul and Rastakhan, but rather the entire society of Zandalar itself that got washed clean with the excuse of "Old Gods corrupted em"

The G'huun koolaid scapegoat for the Zulian plot makes me so mad stg

When creating anything in RP, be it a guild or an event, you need to put in effort, but the optics of effort matters too. AI art does not lend itself to the optics of effort. You could be busting your ass behind the scenes, but use AI art to promote it and it looks like you don't give a shit.

I've recently had some monetary issues due to my old car finally going belly up, so I'll give this another bump. I'm open to illustration commissions.

Please reach out to me through DMs if you have something you think my style would fit. #art

The heck is this even

i had a stint worth three stories of yapping about torkazi within the context of the mage campaign I was in during TWW release, now all available on my profile.....

This may be the most direct verbalization that the elves stole the land in the whole expansion so far - but yeah, let's hope Arator doesn't go on to straight up resolve the conflict beyond fighting back the greater evil

The taste of Golden Sunrise The taste of Golden Sunrise The pterodaxes, axebeaks and raptors of Gonk’s vast herd were still sleeping soundly. Hir’eek’s hour was drawing to a-close, as Torkazi stood on the stone balcony to his...

docs.google.com/document/d/1... Spending anothet train trip by sharing the third and last short-story I wrote in 2024. It's about desire, power, love - what Torkazi felt when first witnessing Beledar.

I'm the most proud of this one, even if it's a bit more impenetrable with his past!!

I do appreciate the crux of a warlock being here on full display; getting power easy, and getting it FAST.

As it stands I don't know why I'd do any of this. Its just a quest where you storm the poor part of town and kick the shit out of people for seeking the same powers the cop you're with indulged in ten times over.

Even beyond my lock its just not appealing lol

Junk! And easily fixable.

Make it a Legion plot from the start. Establish that Silvermoon has an underbelly of fel usage, and its tolerated. But lately its getting rowdy, and spilling into the streets, people are disappearing in murder row. And a fel smuggling operation has been discovered.

Reposted with permission but yeah

I do not think Blizzard is introducing Harranir into the game well.

I think the way they are written overlaps with Troll, Night Elf, and Tauren lore in a way that undermines those races.

I think it's just how unnecessarily large the timeskip is in general considering how little of significance takes place during it

That 8,000 year gap between the Sundering and the Troll Wars continues to be glaring lol

Murder Row was merely a setback...

Wolf at The Gates is great, but I must cintest and say "Stormlords on the March" is the best Alliance theme and severely underrated

That's pretty sick

i.e a female lead that humanizes a previously one-note Horde-adjacent/aesthetic culture, like we had with Talanji or Mayla.

but Zul'jarra deserves recognition and can't wait for the voicework to elevate her character!

There's a point there for sure

Maybe the initial response is praising blizz for defying a predictable pattern (the problematic aspects of a culture swooped away with a villainbat scapegoat) rather than succesfully applying a character type they've a good track record for already
