Elephant tusks grow throughout their entire lifetime, so I’d assume trolls work the same way as that’s what they seem to be most closely based on.

I’ve got some ideas I couldn’t articulate before my trip started, so that’ll be something to unwind to when it’s over.

Well the trip is past the halfway point and I forgot @escalusia.bsky.social had permission to my plot so I got some W.I.P. pics of the place.

I’ve always had the thought that when Haranir came out, the looked more like drogbar than anything else. Now that we know Haranir come from Trolls, that could explain why drogbar might look like that.

I think it’s turning out nice. The vision is coming into light.

And thank you 🙏

Regaining what was lost.

Or Sylvanas, or Fandral Staghelm, etc. There are so many people (some still in the narrative) that -could- deserve the same fate, but don't. If they want to have a specific character in a story moment do it, sure. But it shouldn't be my daily quest to go piss on an iconic character's grave.

I guess I also have to say this these days, but if you think my opinion of Garrosh Hellscream the Orc in World of Warcraft the Video Game reflects any belief I have in real life, I must remind you of something called ✨Fiction✨.

I think most people with a brain in the skull will get you.

It’s an incredibly hamfisted obtuse quest that is clearly there just as a dev’s personal commentary. There has never been that kind of disrespect for any other villain in wow history. It feels so off for the setting.

Shitting on a grave feels SUPER not Warcraft. There are plenty of worse people on Azeroth that got/get to become heroes in their own right.

But I suppose he wasn’t elven, girlpowery, or old enough for that kind of writing 🫢.

This is so good! Very good use of the jaws.

Like I love a good land dispute story in fantasy, but I feel like the interesting nuances of that generational story fizzle out if the Revantusk don’t have any legit claim to the land and moved there just because. I feel that’d be an odd recontextualization to make.

This is a “looked too much into it” takeaway from me I feel, but the “they moved from our lands” line feels like it’s planted to give a morally justified reason for the conflict in Aerie Peak as those Revantusk would be invasive rather than ancestral denizens.

worst cropping ever but just know ive fixed him

He turned out even better than I imagined <3

They're gonna cook some (Fel)crystal together. He'll certainly not drag Cerathiel into anything over his head.
