Been thinking about which of the Shadowlands Covenants, my characters are going to end up joining - or what they feel most affinity to (considering I have a lot of characters that probably won’t get to max level).
Draggka - Ardenweald
Self-explanatory really - Draggka’s very connected to nature, I really dig the look of the Ardenweald already, and I heard rumours of Loa maybe hanging out there, so yeah! No contest. She’s a little bit ‘eh’ on the Fauns though. They look too cute...
Dranka - Ardenweald
Again, self-explanatory. He’s a druid. Of course he’s gonna go to the night forest which may or may not have Loa spirits in it. Also if there are unicorns there, he’s going to be in heaven.
Zal’ria - Bastion
The good girl goes to the noble place, which is also really pretty (and my 2nd choice of Covenants). She also, like the rest of us, find the Stewards adorable. In all seriousness, she identifies better with Bastion than the other Covenants, in contrast with her mother.
Khara - Maldraxxus
Now this was a tough one, and even now I’m not exactly sure if it fits her - she ended up here more through a process of elimination! I think she more identifies with the Necrolords simply because she seeks glory through battle. She’s too rough and tumble for Bastion, and she doesn’t jive with Revendreth. I could see her going to the Ardenweald, but still...it doesn’t seem to fit her. So bones and spiders it is.
Ximarra - Ardenweald
What a surprise, a druid going to the Ardenweald. What clinches it that Drust magic seems to originate here (or it’s been suggested it does), and Ximarra’s curiosity about it draws her here. That and if Gorak Tul is here, she thinks he should be cast into the Maw where he bloody well belongs.
Vandorn - Revendreth
If I’m gonna be honest, it’s for the aesthetic of having a werewolf in a gothic realm with vampires in it. Like, you gotta - it’d be rude not to. As for an in-character reason...it reminds him of Gilneas? I dunno. I might switch him to Ardenweald, but Revendreth feels better for him.
Harnaka - Bastion/Ardenweald
First one I really, really cannot decide between. Although she’s got a lot of ‘orcish honour’ going on, it doesn’t underpin her life enough for her to go to Maldraxxus, and she certainly doesn’t jive with Revendreth. So either Bastion because she genuinely wants to do good, or the Ardenweald because she’s a shaman and kinda sorta maybe connected to nature? Kinda leaning Bastion, but we’d have to see further.
Aiyaona - Bastion
No contest, really. The Sunwalker always trying to do her best goes to the noble dudes. Though knowing Aiya, she probably went ‘I’m a terrible person, perhaps I belong in Revendreth :(’, to which everyone went ‘no you idiot you’re the purest one here!’ and chucked her into Bastion. She’s doing Her Best.
Elizabone - Maldraxxus
Whilst kinda cool for her to go to Revendreth, I think Maldraxxus with their bones and undead shit is much more up Liz’s alley. That, and she does find some curiosity in the origins of the force that raised her into undeath. If she can bend it to her will too, then so much the better.
Cayeli - Revendreth
Probably the closest that aligns to her, as she’s turned off by Overly Good Bastion. That and hearing words that Kael’thas is in Revendreth has intrigued her. She still wonders why her Prince did as he did, and would like some answers, if possible. That said I’m thinking maybe the Ardenweald too? Dunno, need more data.
Tinkerspring - Revendreth
She’s 90% convinced she’s going to end up here when she dies anyway, so she might as well get started. That said, she also can’t stand how ‘good’ Bastion are, Maldraxxus doesn’t look to be any fun, and she’s not a fan of the Ardenweald. “Hey, the vampires look like they know how to party!”
Tamorn - Bastion
A Good Boi who is doing his best, he belongs with Bastion, and I can definitely see him being best buddies with the Stewards. Also I keep imagining him with angel wings and it’s kinda perfect. Orc monk with angel wings. A purer sight never seen.
Jeipuh - Bastion
Jeipuh is totally just following where her girlfriend Aiya is- I’M JOKING I’M JOKING she’s going there totally because she identifies with nobility a lot. And also her girlfriend’s going there too.
Lasai - Revendreth
Going there as an atonement for her sins during Elisande’s rule, even if she supported the rebellion. That and she does prefer darker places - still not used to the normal day/night cycles without being under the shield. Could possibly go to Bastion if things change though.
Jala’wi - Bastion/Ardenweald
Another I got stuck when deciding. I’m thinking Jala is going to Bastion because she’s a paladin and her values do match pretty well with them, but at the same time...I can see here going to the Ardenweald. Again, I’d need to wait for more info. If Rezan’s there, she’s going to the Ardenweald, no holds barred.
Ichtaca - Revendreth
Demon hunter’s going to the vampires because she hates all the others. Especially Maldraxxus because fuck undead aesthetics. Ardenweald just makes her sad about Teldrassil, so she hasn’t the heart to go there.
Chiuza - Bastion
She’s a draenei, Bastion fits her the best. Yeah, I know, but she’s not really a fleshed out character.
Fenrissa - Revendreth
She might be a druid, but Fenrissa’s a rebellious little shit, and she wanted to go where all the cool kids are going. She’s a worgen so I guess it fits? Wouldn’t rule out the Ardenweald though.
Zyesimi - Revendreth
What is it with my elves all going to the Goth place? Then again Zye is a void elf, so peak aesthetic, I guess? She’s also a warlock, so I suppose it fits.
Razla - Maldraxxus
Wow, someone’s actually going to Maldraxxus because they genuinely identify with them! Egads. That and Draka’s here - might not be her version of Draka, but she definitely respects her, and would like to meet her.
Zuzana - Ardenweald
A Zandalari druid going to the Night Fae...a surprise to no-one. Don’t look at me like that, her character is being revised!
