World of Warcraft Patch 10.1.5 is set to bring back an iconic character, although with limited screen time. The focus of Dragonflight's content updates has been on the Bronze Dragonflight, as the legacy of Deathwing in Embers of Neltharion comes to a close. This shift in storytelling is leading towards the Keepers of Time, which will be highlighted in the new Eon's Fringe dailies in Patch 10.1.5. These quests will transport players back in time to significant moments from the World of Warcraft timeline.
Recently, Blizzard Entertainment made a notable change to the dailies by removing a controversial quest. This quest involved players ensuring that Alexstrasza remained captive to the Dragonmaw Clan in order to preserve the correct flow of time. However, this quest received criticism due to the sensitive subject matter of Alexstrasza's sexual abuse during those events. Many players felt that the quest was in poor taste, especially considering the lighthearted comments made by Chromie. Given the vast history of World of Warcraft, it is disappointing that a better alternative was not chosen for this pivotal moment.
According to Wowhead's report on the new Public Test Realm build, Blizzard has discovered a fitting replacement quest. Although Arthas Menethil is permanently erased from Shadowlands, fans will have the opportunity to encounter him once more in a pivotal moment that set the foundation for his descent into darkness. This particular quest will task World of Warcraft players with replacing the icy rocks that shattered Invincible's front legs, symbolizing the hardening of Arthas' heart as he ultimately commits the Culling of Stratholme.
The event depicted in this fragment will be familiar to fans of World of Warcraft who have read Christie Golden's Arthas novel. It is intriguing to witness the event unfold in the game for the first time. The act of putting Invincible out of his suffering becomes a defining moment for Arthas Menethil, as it can be argued that he may not have become a Death Knight if Invincible had survived his fall. The resurrected Invincible has gained significant popularity among the community, making this event even more iconic in the World of Warcraft universe.
In comparison to the previously removed Alexstrasza quest, the new daily offers a significant improvement. The Eon's Fringe dailies revolve around the concept of how minor changes can have far-reaching consequences in time. Invincible's death aligns perfectly with this narrative. The storyline reaches its climax in a new megadungeon centered around the Infinite Dragonflight, where players have the opportunity to obtain a legendary weapon in one of the boss fights.
World of Warcraft is available now for PC.
