Hey there, i follow your blog quite the most of my time. My english is not the very best but i hope you understand me ~ i wonder, and hope no one else have ever asked this question, does Vaard ever met Illidan or the Illidari? What is his opiniom of them? Have a nice day 😘
Thank you so much, Crysfell!
He definitely has during Legion, since he was on the Front a lot. He’s not comfortable at all around Illidari, much less Illidan.
Vaard has an aversion to Fel, almost bordering on a phobia. He saw what resulted in Eredar, particularly the Man’ari, and the sickness it caused which resulted in the Broken/Krokul Draenei. He realizes just how easily the latter could have happened to him and avoids anything having to do with Fel and demon blood, to the point of panic if he gets any on him (he’d freely slice off his hair right then and there if it gets in it kind of a panic. It’s one of the reasons he favors blunt weapons like his hammer, less blood)
In regards to Illidari and Illidan, yes he worked with them, but he kept a healthy personal space bubble around himself and hung off to the side. It’s a deep rooted fear I doubt he can ever get himself over.
