The Storyline
The Reclaiming Gilneas questline is part of the recent Patch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal, which introduced new epilogues to the Dragonflight storyline as it transitions into The War Within.
In this questline, the Worgen embark on a journey to reclaim their home, which they were forced to abandon during the Cataclysm. The involvement of Horde players in this questline brings them face to face with a group of Forsaken led by Calia Menethil and Lilian Voss.
Who Is Calia Menethil?
Calia Menethil, the older sister of Arthas Menethil, has an intriguing backstory within the World of Warcraft universe. She was next in line for the throne of Lordaeron and had a tumultuous history, including a supposed engagement to Deathwing during Warcraft 2.
Surviving the destruction of Lordaeron, Calia was later killed by Sylvanas before the Battle for Azeroth, only to be resurrected as a Light-infused undead. She eventually joined the Forsaken as a member of the Desolate Council in Shadowlands Patch 9.2.5.
Calia's journey has been met with mixed reactions from fans. While her emergence in Legion was well-received, her transformation into an undead and her association with the Forsaken has left some fans less enchanted with her character.
Controversy and Fan Reactions
The Queen typo in the Reclaiming Gilneas questline has fueled speculation and controversy among World of Warcraft fans. Many believe that the game was attempting to position Calia as the new Forsaken queen, a theory further supported by her Pallid Lady title, which draws parallels to Sylvanas as the Dark Lady.
This controversial typo has incensed players who do not favor Calia's character, adding to the complexity of her reception within the World of Warcraft community.
However, it appears that the use of the title was a simple mistake, and Calia herself has shown no desire to claim the queenly mantle. Despite this, the journey for acceptance of this divisive character by the Forsaken and their fans is far from over.
