I'm back on some bullshit, but I feel sad Thalyssra didn't end up with Liadrin after All That. But not sad enough to finish this sketch haha. Unless...

Showing the Good of/Redeeming the Horde, Several Pieces at a time

Lady Liadrin: After the Fall of Quel'thalas, Liadrin was forced to kill her now Scourge adoptive father, Vandellor (seen in Bastion). This, combined with the already present stress of the Fall itself, causes her to fall into survivors guilt and bloodlust. If you had watched your friends die painfully and then been forced to murder the man who you would have died alone without, wouldn't you do the same? She is abandoned by the Light in her moment of need and, because of this, lashes out at M'uru, draining the Naaru of it's power and taking Astalor's offer. She does this in anger, and regrets it immensely. She has since rejoined the real Light, being forgiven by the main thing she has wronged. If it can forgive her, so can you.

Grand Magister Rommath: I could go on for days about Rommath, and I probably will. If you've ever been in an abusive relationship, be it romantic, platonic, queerplatonic, familial or any other kind, you know how incredibly difficult it is to get out. You think what you're doing is right. I mean, they can't be that bad, they're your partner in crime! The one you rely on! They're your friend! But they aren't your friend. You're being lied to. For you, it could have been them making you drink more alcohol until you depended on it and they were your best supplier. For me, he (my online best friend) cut me off from most real life socialization, isolating me and making me dependent on him for any social stimulation. For Rommath, it was the Fel. We know that Fel magic is highly addictive. We know that most Sin'dorei are getting a highly filtered version of it that is considerably safer to consume than raw Fel magic. We know that Rommath and Kael'thas are two of the only exceptions. We know that it quite literally drove Kael'thas to going insane and harming his friends.

Imagine being in Rommath's situation. Completely dependent on the now somewhat insane Kael for Fel magic, which you would die without, seeing Kael fall apart. You've been friends (maybe more) for more than most mortals are even alive. You stick around because you can help him. In this action, you throw yourself right into Sargeras' line of fire. You're no longer just dependent on magic, no no no. You're dependent on Fel magic. The edges of your razor sharp psyche begin to break apart, remaining sharp enough to cut diamond, but no longer in the way that a knife is. It's more like the violently shattered glass of the mirror you punched when you realized that your once blue eyes were blazing lime green and brighter than fire. You can see that you're not ok. You can see that it's slowly starting to change you. It changes your mind, bringing the rage further up. It changes your body. You look pale and tired in those shards of mirror on the floor.

But you can't leave. If you leave, he'll die. It'll be all your fault. You keep going. Further away from the light. Further away from the Arcane magic you held so dear. All you have is Kael. All you have is Kael and pure, unadulterated fury.

Can they really blame you for using that fury to try and save your people?

Listen, as much as I love moonfam and the Ruthari + Rayla/Rayllum content we got in s7, I also kind of don't stand for the Tiadrin and Lain erasure. Like I get it, they're dead now so like what else is there to say? But they only permanently died recently and after Rayla was given hope that she could bring them back after not seeing them since she was a little child and had that hope ripped away from her. And she never got to express sadness about that to anyone. Idk, I wanted at least for someone to mention them once during the Silvergrove scenes. For someone, anyone, to say that they missed them, or for Runaan to mention sometime that his heart had been hurting because two of his best friends went through the same Hell he did, and they didn't survive it.

Like, yes, absolutely Rayla is Ruthari's daughter. But she's also Liadrin's daughter. She was their moonberry, and they deserved to see her happy and in love just as much as Runaan did. And yet she was only ever called Ruthari's daughter for the Silvergrove scenes, T'was a disappointment a bit.

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

This would be my first try in drawing Valeera and Liadrin, and already I messed up Liadrin’s height (and figuring out her hair) T^T.

Been inactive for a while (sorry bout that), but I’m still hereeeee. Updating and reworking/writing my fate/warcraft au for the nth time and still can’t settle for a plot xD.
