It’s none other than Kel’thuzad, though there’s no mention of Mr. Chasing down Ouix’Ara involves a lot killing and destroying stuff, but finally Kael’thas binds and questions the Archlich to find out who her master is. The player and Kael’thas spy on a conversation where the Tithelord and a Cloaked Figure talk about the death of the previous leader of the Venthyr Covenant - whom players killed in the raid - and Lady Ouix’Ara, an Archlich that they’re supplying with anima. ![]() Kael’thas still hates the lich, as his people were massacred to raise a lich using the Sunwell, and so he insists on investigating further. The Accuser opts for that second option, which leads to discovering that a Tithelord, who had been in league with the Venthyr Covenant, has allied himself with a Lich from Maldraxxus. ![]() You could continue helping him be rid of his sins… or you could help fuel his desire for vengeance. But that’s only the beginning of the Sun King’s latest story.ĭespite the ritual, Kael’thas is still carrying enough sin to be thrown into the Maw. ![]() Since Kael’thas will not overcome his pride on his own, a ritual is performed so others, including the player and the Accuser, can share the burden of his sin. So he’s given a test that allows him to show mercy, but instead he boasts how easily he can burn the world to ashes. His biggest sin is arrogance - as anyone who’s tried to farm him for the Phoenix Hatchling pet and the Swift White Hawkstrider mount, sitting through his monologue each time, knows. Despite her threats to throw him in the Maw, her goal is to help redeem him. The Accuser is surprisingly helpful with Kael’thas, though. In Nathria, we meet the Accuser who judges Kael’thas, determining why he’s been sent to Revendreth and whether he’s ready let the past go and become a better person. Souls must be absolved of their sins, and if they refuse, they’ll be thrown into the Maw. They receive a sinstone, which lists the sins of their life - and the more sins, the heavier the stone. It could be greed, pride, or any number of sins that weigh these souls down. Souls are sent to Revendreth because they’ve sinned in life. The encounter is called Sun King’s Salvation, but for this fight, we aren’t trying to defeat Kael’thas: we’re trying to save him. Kael’thas doesn’t show up immediately when you enter Revendreth: you won’t meet him until chapter 6 of the Venthyr Campaign, “Confronting Sin.” Worse yet, to unlock him and this part of the story, players have to complete the Castle Nathria raid, where he currently resides. Kael’thas’ own arrogance left him imprisoned in Castle Nathria Warning: spoilers for Shadowlands follow. With the Shadowlands beta in progress, we finally know more about what became of Kael’thas after he died - and the role he might play in the expansion’s story to come. Each of the four Shadowlands Covenant questlines features a well-known character from the past, and for the Venthyr, that’s Kael’thas. ![]() Finally, he was really dead.īut Shadowlands, being the land of the dead, is full of the deceased, including our old friend Kael’thas. Then he showed up again in Magisters’ Terrace, with his famous line, “…Tempest Keep was merely a setback.” Then he attempted to summon Kil’jaeden into Azeroth, but we put a stop to his plans. When he was discovered, he was defeated, and thought dead in Tempest Keep. He was the leader of the Blood Elves and Prince of Quel’Thalas, but he allied with Kil’jaeden and the Burning Legion, having been mislead about how to save his people from the scourge. Kael’thas Sunstrider is famous for being a boss in The Burning Crusade - twice.
