While not perfect, I think they did a decent job addressing Calia and making her somewhat more compatible with the Forsaken.
What did you think? I'd like to know your thoughts!
Also I really liked the cinematic between Lilian and Calia and I am like "shit am I going to end up shipping these two?" lol

I AM SO PLEASED WITH THE FINAL OUTCOME
I've been yearning for content like this for what feels like forever and it addresses so many loose ends for the Forsaken that were left untouched for an entire expansion centered around death. They finally got to interact with the Necrolords!!!
Helping re-settle into Lordaeron and gradually restoring it for the Forsaken after all of the losses they've endured warmed my entire rotten heart. I was smiling through the whole thing.
I also agree that they handled Calia well, better than I expected. She should be a member of their new council, not the ultimate leader, and she should want to serve her people, not lead.
My only complaint is the title she and Derek were given; "The Pallid Lady" and her "Champion" gives them too much importance, and makes it sound like they are white light replacements for Sylvanas and Nathanos. For someone who is "just Calia now", she should be wanting to humble herself for the sake of her people, and not have such a prestigious title that sounds like an obvious mirror of The Dark Lady.
I can't think of any Forsaken who, after being abandoned by Sylvanas, would want to give her that title, beyond as a mockery.
Other than that, I am so bloody pleased 👌👌👌
Edit: also they did the best thing they could’ve with Kaldorei Dark Rangers imo. Most of them stayed with the Forsaken, some will try to go back to the living Kaldorei, and I hope they aren’t just instantly welcomed in after everything that’s happened. The Kaldorei and the Alliance should be very suspicious of them, possibly even punish them.
