I Mean, It's Not Exactly Like Lor'themar Gets Much Of A Choice...

I mean, it's not exactly like Lor'themar gets much of a choice...

This is for you Romkael shippers out there btw, if you are not one of those Romkael shippers out there, this isn't for you.

So let's flashback to Anasterian's reign real quick. Near the end of his life, Anasterian is getting weaker. Fearing that he may falter, he places Belo'vir Salonar as his second in command. Sylvanas, while a good military leader, is just that. A military leader. Belo'vir is:

Well versed in the magic that this kingdom was built on

Incredibly intelligent

Quick witted

Married to Vandellor, the main religious leader of Quel'thalas, cementing his power (Semi-canon)

And last but not least, set up with an heir. Rommath.

These are all qualities that Rommath shares.

He's well versed in both Arcane magic, the power that Quel'thalas was built on, and Fel magic, the power it was saved (and doomed) by.

He's remarkably intelligent, as well as having a death glare that could probably actually kill (it's how Kael'thas died lmao)

He's the adoptive sibling of Liadrin, the current religious leader

He's set up with Astalor in line to take over his position, and if Astalor can't, he has Esara, and if Esara can't, he has a whole host of other people (HC: Including Cindrethresh, one of the most talented assassins and warriors in recorded and probably unrecorded history. Ya can't tell me Mx. Bloodthirsty "Please sit down Cindre you're scaring Viridia" won't join the group known for being merciless demon massacrists with minimal moral restraints.)

And most importantly (ROMKAEL TIME BITCHES) he was engaged to Kael'thas. We don't know how Thalassian succession works, but that sets him as a prime candidate for the throne.

So. Rommath is:

The heir of Belo'vir, who was in the position that a queen would have held

The person who would have been monarch-consort if Kael hadn't died

The only member of Silvermoon's triumvirate who has an heir

A man who has ties in the church

Patriotic (Not metaphorical government dick sucker)

Smart enough to maneuver himself into this position

Smart enough to get out of this position if he needs to

Basically the savior of the elven race after he made the conversion spell that makes Fel magic safe to consume

It's not looking good for Halduron, or hell, Lor'themar if Rommath wants the throne. Hal is a good military leader, but he doesn't have the political standing to get very far. Lia is too tied to the Church for separation of Church and State to let her rule. Thalyssra doesn't even have a claim to the throne, and even if she did, doesn't have enough backing by the military for her to rule.

Pretty much we get a council or we get Rommath. I honestly don't care. I really like Rommath.

the wiki:  With the fall of the Sunstrider dynasty, Quel'Thalas no longer has a clear line of succession. If Lor'themar were to fall, it is possible that in the absence of a designated successor, Grand Magister Rommath would come into power; his current station is arguably the highest in the kingdom below Lor'themar’s. Alternatively, power might pass to Halduron Brightwing as Quel'Thalas’ military leader.

lor’themar: neither of them it would be liadrin thanks 

mess with the pupper and you become supper 

Huh, well that just makes this whole fiasco worse. He's also white!

So, fun facts about the Bright Family

They're Hebrew.

They're ethnically Jewish.

Almost all, if not all of them have red hair.

Evelyn (Mom) is Muslim.

Almost all of them are some form of disability representation.

None of this excuses what Duck Man did, nothing can. But overwriting the Hebrew, Jewish, disabled son of a Muslim woman in a position of power with a white brunette is a bad look

Also it wouldn't be "0963", just 963.

Um... heyyyy... maybe choose a different new character to replace Bright...

Warcraft has a whole fuckton of money right now so I would reeeaaaally advise against naming a sneaky, sus af redhead...

Elias.

Shaw.

A SNEAKY. SUS. REDHEAD.

Almost the exact same name as Blizzard's SNEAKY SUS REDHEAD who they will probably defend with their lives because if their representation goes out the window, *DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUH* less money

All I'm saying is please don't accidentally get sued for plagiarism

Some important cross-server ball hosted by King Ren

Hausemaster: X did you give him permission to rule like that?

Xisuma: Nope

Pyro: Do you want us to do something about it?

Xisuma: Nope

Kenzie: We are 100% on board with doing something about it.

Xisuma: I've already broken the minds of five of his servants and guards using my Void magic. All I had to to was speak to them. Once he figures out that something like me has it out for him, he'll go running for the hills and all will be business as usual.

Tristan: You are a horrible person.

Xisuma: And that's coming from you?

So fun fact, magical dragons (Long range casters of the Draconic species) don't technically need to eat or sleep. This is shown by Sintharia and Malygos, both of whom subsided off of arcane energy for centuries, if not eons.

This means that there is a non-zero chance that the soup that a bunch of walrus people forced him to eat is the first real food Kalecgos has had since, well, probably since he became an Aspect.

That's kinda sad.

Speak it into existence people!

They're siblings and you can't tell me otherwise. IDFK man I just want a Vyranoth redemption arc
