The Forsaken Heritage Quest had a special surprise appearance of Sylvanas, one ofWorld of Warcraft’s most controversial characters. Once players complete the Forsaken Heritage quest, Dori’thur, Tyrande’s owl companion who is currently traveling with Sylvanas in the Maw, appears, offering them a heartfelt message from the former Banshee Queen herself. She thanks the player for supporting her, entreats them to take pride in their place within the Horde, and assures them they were like family in some stellar voicelines delivered by the talented Patty Mattson.
This special quest is only available to players whosided with Sylvanas inBattle for Azeroth. Horde players have the opportunity to aid Saurfang’s rebellion during the story quests, or quietly subvert him and remain loyal to Sylvanas. The quests were ultimately resolved in the same way regardless, but loyalists got a handful of special scenes and dialogue based on their decision. Non-Forsaken loyalist characters can view an abridged version of Sylvanas’ message by finding Dori’thur in Orgrimmar.
Needless to say, Sylvanas fans were elated to find this special quest. The Banshee Queen is divisive, but she still has a huge fanbase and is one of the mostpopular characters inWorld of Warcraft. This emotional stinger to the Forsaken quest was exactly what these players were hoping for, and many are eager to see what role Sylvanas may play in the Forsaken’s future.
The Heritage Questlines from Patch 10.1.7 themselves are a mixed bag. The Night Elf one was a fine story on its own, but the consensus is that it was lacking for a Heritage quest. Meanwhile, the Forsaken story was a fun romp through the faction’s major themes, but it didn’t add anything new to the playable race. All things considered, these Heritage Quests were not the worst, but they lacked the quality of the stellar Orc Heritage Quest–largely considered one of the best quests inWoW’s history. Players will have to wait and see if any of thelast few Heritage QuestlinesWorld of Warcrafthas leftcan unseat the Orcs as the reigning champions.
