Mess With The Pupper And You Become Supper

mess with the pupper and you become supper 

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

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 

The Bright Brothers standing around a small McDonald's milkshake chanting "Dad's guilt money, dad's guilt money" ominously.

Cindrethresh is babygirl

(Also what the frick frack tic tac are their pronouns- they give hardcore transmasc energy but everyone is calling them by she/her so IDK)

Rommath is so fucking done with everyone's shit.

He's done with Kael'thas's weird magic shit.

He's done with Lor'themar's avoidance shit.

He's done with Liadrin's noble shit.

He's done with Jaina's "I'm not racist but..." shit.

He's done with Anduin's pretending everything can be solved with peace shit.

He's done with Khadgar's done with everything shit.

He's done with Halduron's drunk shit.

He's done with Thalyssra's "IS THIS MAN SECRETLY ELISANDE?" shit

He's done with Valtrois' "IS THIS MAN SECRETLY GAY?" shit because it's not a secret at all he's very blatantly gay

He's done with Belo'vir's horse girl shit (Should out to Salonar the Horseman for being some red haired elven horse girl lmao)

This man

is just

so

fucking

done.

You know what? Same.
