In order to tease the next World of Warcraft expansion, Shadowlands, Blizzard has actually been airing a series of animated shorts called Afterlives. Each brief covers among the 4 factions and zones well be handling in Shadowlands, and sneak peeks the prime conflict for players. Now, World of Warcraft tradition is constantly strange, and an expansion where everybody goes to the afterlife to ferret out ghosts is going to be inherently weird. However a few of the info revealed in these Afterlives shorts is truly terrible.
Seriously, holy shit
Players saw Uther during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, in the Halls of Reflection dungeon. He has a whole speech about forgiving Arthas and not wanting to cast him into super hell!
Draka, Thralls mommy and an extremely great girl, died and left her other half Durotan behind. You can just die and after that never ever see your loved ones again. Thats not even the things thats really worrying.
What? If you pass away in the Shadowlands, you pass away in reality? What takes place to someone who is double dead? Every time I attempt to theorize how that works, I take psychic damage.
Literally all afterlives are true and real, and all religions were proper. Well be seeing 4 of those afterlives in Shadowlands, but individuals can go anywhere.
Double difficulty
This is so unusual. Ursocs been around given that the absolute earliest days of the game. Hes constantly been a pillar of Druidic lore. Seeing him in Legion was such a big offer, getting to in fact FIGHT him moreso.
I seem like the gravity of the circumstance will strike a great deal of us later.– en Grandblade (spoilers here) (@BenGrandblade) September 10, 2020
But at least with Ursoc, we only have to stress over one soul. In the “Bastion” short, we saw Uther the Lightbringer pass away at the hands of Arthas, an event that happened throughout Warcraft 3. We learned that Uther went to Bastion, and just went back to Azeroth to cast Arthas into extremely hell.
In the most recent short, “Ardenweald,” we saw a longtime tradition figure pass away. He passed away in the afterlife.
Uther the Lightbringer says: Arthas …
Uther the Lightbringer says: Alas, hero of Azeroth, you provide me a greater gift than you know.
Uther the Lightbringer states: Long have I struggled to forgive the prince for his horrible transgressions.
Uther the Lightbringer states: My soul has been wrecked with excruciating stress and anxiety, dark thoughts … distancing me from the Light.
Uther the Lightbringer states: I remember plainly the gleam of pride in his eye as he stood before me, eager to beat the enemies of the Light …
Uther the Lightbringer says: Eager to defend his people, no matter the cost.
Uther the Lightbringer states: It is this memory of Arthas that I choose to keep in my heart.
Uther the Lightbringer states: I will constantly remain in your financial obligation, buddy.
Uther the Lightbringer says: Thank you.
This might be a retcon, however fans think otherwise. Theres a moment in the “Bastion” short that players keep talking about. A user called dreamfisher on the Warcraft Lore subreddit writes:
Gamers saw Uther throughout the Wrath of the Lich King growth, in the Halls of Reflection dungeon. When we see Uthers soul leaving his body, while its still whole its color is white.
What occurs when a soul dies? Can you have 2 souls? All we can do is wait till Shadowlands and its endgame get here.

In the “Bastion” short, we saw Uther the Lightbringer die at the hands of Arthas, an event that took place during Warcraft 3. We discovered that Uther went to Bastion, and just returned to Azeroth to cast Arthas into extremely hell.
When we see Uthers soul leaving his body, while its still entire its color is white. When it splits, the 2 fragments are blue and gold. The blue piece is swallowed by Frostmourne, while the gold one passes on to Bastion.
This might be a case where we need to ask, “Geez, Uther, how come the Arbiter lets you have two souls?” And if this occurred to everybody who passed away by means of Frostmourne, it has huge implications. Sylvanas Windrunner, one of our main antagonists, passed away via Frostmourne. There could be a good Sylvanas out there, and Azeroth got encumbered the evil twin.
