#King Anduin Wrynn

When Anduin was a boy, and nobody was looking, he'd draw upon the war table map all sorts of silly little things. They replaced the maps often, but none were ever thrown away.

Seeing him in the new expansion vs classic is just wild.

This one still makes me laugh at how it worked

Im on a little hiatus so look at my old Anduin stuff from 2016 because I have a type I miss him

I've seen a few people complaining about Anduin's new look and how he looks too "old" now, also they dont understand why he's acting so distant from his friends, so I figured I'd break it down from my perspective and a tiny bit of my own character analysis as a long time player since Lich King and have read a lot of the books. Also I'm a huge fan of Anduin as a character, so I'm sorry if it might be a bit biased.

He was 18 years old in the book Before The Strom which takes place right before Battle for Azeroth, (he probably turned 19 around the beginning of BFA) so by the end of BFA he would've been between 20 and 21 since the war was fought over 2 years. He was fighting that war while still struggling with the death of his father as well as running the Alliance and his own Kingdom. He even said he had never given himself a proper time to grieve his father's passing. If you read Before The Storm, you know all the heartbreak and disappointment he suffered in that book. Including everything that happened with Calia Menethil. (I know not a lot of people view the books as canon, but I do believe the legit Warcraft published books to be part of the Lore.)

In Shadowlands, which was stated to be over the course of 2 years as well. Anduin would've been 22 or 23 when it ended. Let's not forget that while imprisoned by the Jailer, everyone was tortured mentally and physically. Anduin obviously had the worst of it, constantly being controlled by the Jailer and the Mourn Blade and forced to do horrible things that made him feel extremely guilty and question his own heart. Let's be honest, if Arthas had been able to break free from the Jailers' influence and not fallen so far, he would be struggling just as bad as/or worse than Anduin.

We were told 5 years had passed between Shadowlands and Dragonflight so that puts Anduin around 27 or 28 years old in War Within. The biggest clue to how much Anduin has been struggling, is his sword. The first thing I noticed is that the yellow glow that for us symbolized his role as a Priest was gone. He even told Thrall there was no Light left in him. It seems he's to a point where he is giving up and still can't accept what he was forced to do in Shadowlands.

I think they did a good job on aging him in the new cinematic. He isn't the hope filled, peace seeking, bright-eyed, boy King we all knew. Now he's the war-torn, mentality struggling, man who needs help coming to peace with himself. The trauma of constant war and loss have finally caught up with him. We also don't know where he's been or what he's been up to since he left. However, just looking at the scars and cuts on his face, he's clearly been through something rough while he was away. You can feel the pain in his voice and see it in his eyes. They really did a fantastic job putting that cinematic together.

I feel like, as an Alliance players and due to the connection our characters have had from quest lines and side Quests over the years with Anduin, through Pandaria to Shadowlands, we will be doing a lot of Quests with Anduin to help him regain his connection to the Light and bring back our Priest--but that's just a my Alliance fan heart wishing.

If you actually read all this....WOW! 😂 Thanks for reading my rambling.

Anduin Wrynn - World of Warcraft: The War Within

"Don't you ever scare me like that again, Fenrynn Mival!"

-

In that moment, I saw true sadness in his eyes. Blue eyes as deep as the sea, welled with tears from my actions. I came to wonder how protecting him had hurt him so much.

I'd never seen him cry before... Yet here he was, a 24 year old man, weeping after I'd saved his life. Did this mean he truly cared for me?

I'm so sorry, your majesty... I didn't mean to hurt you...

-

I've fallen hard into the WoW hyperfixation, to the point where I've written a pretty hefty fanfic of it called "The King and the Thief."

I've kind of abandoned the current canon events just for fun, so canon's more of a "suggestion" over anything.

The Worgen's name is Fenrynn Mival III, a descendant of one of my older D&D characters. He's the grandson of the original Fen, in-game he's a pure rogue instead of a ranger.

Might post more, who knows?
