But at precisely the exact same time, the simple fact that Wow gold classic Activision-Blizzard waited this long to announce that the release date meant I was somewhat worried that some of the bombastic expansion launches -- like that of the maligned Battle For Azeroth -- were something of the past. However, Blizzard just introduced the Bastion animated brief, the first portion of the Afterlives series, which will see new episodes for each of the Covenants at Shadowlands leading up to launch.

And for anybody that has invested a great deal of time with the sport, and more importantly, has paid some quantity of focus on the narrative, will find a lot to love in this particular cinematic. Here, see it today, because I will be spoiling the entire thing .

The whole shtick of this video show appears to be moving through each of the covenants, also Bastion is themed around the Kyrian covenant in, well, Bastion. Based on Wowhead's summary of each of the covenants, the Kyrian have been"tasked with shuttling souls between the lands of the living and the dead". If You'd like a way more in-depth guide to everything the Kyrian Covenant offers, Wowhead has you covered there,

Only inject World of Warcraft: Shadowlands in my veins

However, a bunch of angels shepherding the souls of the dead to where they belong into the Shadowlands is pretty much exactly what I expected from at least one of those covenants in Shadowlands, so what pulled me away here was that personalities were chosen to exemplify the covenant's purpose.

Blizzard based the debut into the Kyrian covenant around Uther the Lightbringer, who's one of the most significant characters in all of Warcraft. Not only was that this dude the initial paladin, but he was also the instructor of Arthas Menethil, possibly the most famous villain in Warcraft history -- you might know him as the Lich King.

From the animation, Uther's soul is located on the doorstep of this Kyrian in Bastion, as there's some kind of afterlife sorting system that places souls where they belong in the Shadowlands. However, Uther can not forego his lifetime, and he thirsts for justice. He's chastised for this for some time before Devos, the Paragon watching him over, notices that his soul is injured from Frostmourne, the Lich King's blade

I could probably go into super-deep detail about why some of the matters, but I will save myself the effort, and also you the agony of digging it. And, Arthas, that has caused so much harm, by seemingly directing the ability of buy classic gold this maw, was cast into that wicked place by the spirit of his youth teacher who died by his own blade.
