Meanwhile, the Bad Guys...

Everything breaks down because the Maw Walker was not supposed to escape.

Zovaal doesn't get how they managed. He was right fucking there.

And that, btw, is why he DOESN'T destroy the waystone. He knows that if he does that, he shows that what just happened shouldn't have, and sows doubt in his minions' minds. He can't have that, not when he's so close.

Another hundred years and...

And it's really hard to get messages out of the Maw, but he'd better get on that.

In the meantime Thedrin goes back to Bastion to report what he's seen and gets intercepted by Lysonia because he flies too close to Loyalty.

Devos hears his concerns and redirects him to Maldraxxus, to talk to Kel'thuzad about rallying the army. Crisis averted for now, but they need to start moving faster. Things aren't set to go just yet.

Sire Denathrius is chilling with some anima wine, figuring how much more anima he can get from the souls on hand when he feels the distinct intrusion of something...new into his realm.

By the time he tucks away his secret ledgers and heads over, they are gone. If this person came from the Maw, then surely they are a messenger from his brother, yes? So why did they leave?

Devos sends Kin-tara over to find out what the mortals are telling Oribos. Kin-tara goes back to Devos like, "Oh shit, it's bad. They know."

It is now imperative to keep the mortals out of Bastion. The Archon must stay in the dark as long as possible.

They were supposed to have decades to go before this stuff went into play.

Sire Denathrius promises Devos and Sin'dane that he will handle it. They just need to stay calm and keep up the good work.

Sire Denathrius realizes this is a great chance to get his son back from the Maw--and to see how much of a problem this Maw Walker is going to be.

He gets his favorite kid back, so it's not all bad. But, you know, things are definitely getting set into motion early.

He figures he's got the Maw Walker cornered and can play with them a bit, but Renathal helps them escape, so.

Oops.

Maldraxxus sends them back to the Maw because now the Maw is on high alert thanks to Denathrius' warning, and they are definitely gonna kill the Maw Walker. No more playing.

Except somehow the Maw Walker evades capture? And escapes.

Again.

Zovaal has never met an insect he couldn't squish before, and he's intrigued. Mildly. He leaves the waystone so that he can get them next time.

He'd be able to get to them faster, but there's all those pesky death knights running around, and they all feel the same, really, so how's he to know which mortal is which?

Alexandros shows back up in Maldraxxus and Team Zovaal basically goes, "Oh shit oh shit oh shit" and kicks things into gear a bit faster, taking down the house of the Chosen prematurely, which leaves it halved, with many still loyal to the missing Primus.

The Maw Walker shows up in Bastion and Devos is like, "r u fucking kidding me rn?"

And has to push her plans into action way earlier.

It's just a nice little, "Oh no. It's fine. Oh no. We've got this. Oh no. How does this keep happening?"

Across the realms of death.

Basically by the time people start choosing covenants, Devos is panicking, anarchy and chaos have descended on Maldraxxus, Sire Denathrius is sitting back going, "I love it. What's going to happen next?" and Zovaal is like, "I sure hope my allies outside of the Maw aren't fucking this up."

And Mueh'zala is like, "Does anyone even remember I exist?"

The Winter Queen certainly doesn't.

Okay, so I think the shadowlands should have been in a different order, but I'm like, a little stumped on which.

Like, okay, below the cut is me thinking it through, so you can ignore it if you want, or pitch in your thoughts :0

Okay, so with the anima drought, I doubt the attendants would be willing to just open a gateway for anybody because they can't afford it, and they're especially not going to do so for one feeling of the Maw.

I feel like they would have contained the Maw Walker a bit more than just letting them run around the city and meet the Arbiter.

So they contain the Maw Walker instead, and cleanse them, to make sure that Maw essence is not a part of them.

Then, when they realize they are not, the attendants are willing to talk. But again, there is an anima shortage, and they cannot just open any path.

So instead, they flag down a bearer.

The Maw Walker can be like, "Yeah, that looks about right."

And the bearer, albeit miffed at being pulled from their sacred duty, can do the memory thing to take a look at wtf is going on, and be rightfully horrified.

It can be Bearer Thedrin.

If you know, you know.

And the Maw Walker's like, So, can you take me to your realm, and Bearer Thedrin is like, "Um, no, lol. That's a whole can of worms that I'm not opening. I'll relay a message tho."

So Bearer Thedrin goes off to see about warning the Archon, and the Maw Walker is like, "so what now?"

There's a bit of a debate about what to do, and Bolvar uses his connection to the helm shard the Maw Walker carries to make his own damn portal, and everyone is very u p s e t

There are mortals (plural) in the Eternal City. Not cool.

And the attendants know that Azeroth is a problem child world. All the afterlives know this. You never want direct contact with the problem child worlds.

Because you get get things like mortals crawling all over your lovely undead city.

One of the brokers, Ve'rayn can step in and be like, "Hey, I have an idea. What if you went to Revendreth?"

And Ve'rayn is just like, suuuuper helpful with negotations, and when the Maw Walker asks, Ve'rayn is like, "Oh, maybe you could answer a question for me. Did you see any of my kind in the Maw?" And when the Maw Walker says no, Ve'rayn is disappointed, but hopes they can still be helpful to one another.

Instead of going through the official gate, because that would cost anima, and the brokers would LOVE for the attendents to owe them, Ve'rayn takes the Maw Walker through one of their portals.

They approach the Fearstalker, who is in the middle of a hunt, and miffed that it has been interrupted. She's never seen a living mortal before, however, and thinks that's pretty neat and that her brother, were he here would love it.

She doesn't let them far into the realm, though, because there is an...incident going on and there is no need to bother the Sire.

The Maw Walker is there for anima? They can have some. The Fearstalker gives them enough to open a Path or two, warning them that if they come back to Revendreth, it should be through proper channels, no back doors.

The Sire will not be pleased to have living mortals coming and going in his realm.

So they go back through the Broker portal to Oribos, and report that the drought affects Revendreth, as much as Oribos.

Troubling news.

The Maw Walker asks if the Ascended have said anything, but there's no update there.

Another Bearer, Kin-tara, has been sorting through Bolvar's memories, getting more deets, and suggests rallying Maldraxxus, if this is truly as bad as things appear.

The attendants are hesitant about that, though Bolvar and the Maw Walker aren't sure why.

They explain that even if they could rally the army of the Shadowlands, that there's still the matter of having to send them into the Maw or the Realm of the Living to defend the tear, neither of which are acceptable options.

It is suggested, by ever helpful Ve'rayn, that perhaps Bastion or Ardenweald would be good to go to, as they are both more closely linked with the realm of the living.

Kin-tara says she'll take a message to the Archon and that, really, it's okay. There's no need for mortals in Bastion. She can see about having the Polemarch come talk to them here, in Oribos. The Polemarch is the Voice of the Archon, so who better to talk to? Just be patient.

So the Maw Walker ends up opening the path to Ardenweald and heading there to see if there's a way to enable the forces of Maldraxxus to come to Azeroth's aid or...well if there are any other otpions.

Ardenweald happens mostly the same, with the Winter Queen being busy culling souls to save others and all that. Ysera is saved. They explain that Ardenweald is connected to the Emerald Dream because it is a realm that is neither living nor dead, but what could have been.

The Winter Queen tries to contact the Primus about if his children can behave well enough to come through her groves--spoiler, she doubts it--but can't reach him.

As she's telling the Maw Walker that she'll send her with a message to Maldraxxus because wtf, how dare he not pick up when she skypes him, she gets a call.

It is not the Primus.

It is Sire Denathrius.

He's aware that there has been a mortal trespassing and is curious to meet them in person, as coming to his realm and not greeting him was...quite rude.

The Winter Queen sends the Maw Walker back to Oribos to go to Revendreth.

The attendants are not happy to have to open another Path, but you can't argue with an eternal one, so.

Open the way to Revendreth they do.

Imma take a break with this and have lunch.

#it all goes to hell in the last cosmic 5 min #so to speak #poor villains #trying so hard and damn mortals showing up and getting all caught up in business they shouldn't
