History Headscratchers / Warcraft

* How did Deathwing know what Rhonin was doing? While I get the whole of Deathwing's plan in "Day of the Dragon", how did he know about the mission Rhonin was on? The book doesn't offer an explanation, just that he knew. Rhonin does even ask how he knew.

** I'm not seeing it as outright "CharacterDerailment" as mucg a case of "HeWhoFightsMonsters". And the sarcastic tone in her voice seems to be her boasting that there really isn't a difference, except [[GenreSavvy she knows she's a]] DesignatedHero. She's a MagnificentBastard, and AntiVillain only because she's on the "Good Guy's" team, yet there's nothing her "[[EnemyMine allies]]" can really do about it, because she [[ButNotTooEvil merely skirts]] the MoralEventHorizon, so the horde can't really do anything to stop her carefully-restricted actions without diving into DisproportionateRetribution. And as long as she's [[TeethClenchedTeamwork serving the horde]], she's still an invaluable resource, as detestable as she might be. Check out the TruthInTelevision section of HeWhoFightsMonsters for an explanation on how it's not quite CharacterDerailment.

** Necromancy is unnatural and being in a state of undeath is their soul/body's way of saying "this should not be happening". When you're raised into undeath, you basically have your soul torn out imperfectly and crammed back into your body, taken from whatever afterlife you were heading towards (most likely the Shadowlands). This has the negative effect of screwing your emotions big time, not unlike the chemical imbalance in your brain when you suffer depression (I'm REALLY simplifying that but you see what I'm getting at) and making sure all of those negative emotions even more prevalent. Plus, you're inhabiting what is pretty much your dead body which will be several shades of screwed up as well.

He's kind of the exception to the rule, the others being people who didn't mind or wanted to become what they did (Kel'thuzad, Second Generation Death Knights, Liches, etc). The rest didn't, so their souls 'resisted' the process and they came back wrong as a result.

** Because she takes Alliance prisoners to be tortured and killed into Forsaken, and Undercity has a population of Alliance slaves and prisoners being experimented on in cages? Apotecharies using lobotomized human women in Underdark? She is already a ''Complete Monster''.

* In Suramar, the Nightborne had been living under the magical barrier. According to Thalyssra it blocked out the sun and their food ran out so they had to get Arcwine. Yet there are trees in Suramar and a zoo, with animals that need different nourishment. So why can't the Nightborne maintain food under the barrier besides Arcwine if they can grow trees, or why aren't the zoo animals dependent on Arcwine?

It seems most undead hate their existence (most notably Sylvanas) but when Arthas first becomes a death knight he seems to [[EvilFeelsGood rather enjoy it]] so what is the deal with undeath exactly

** Real reason? Because then we wouldn't have a level. Plausible in-universe reason? He's being arrogant and lazy, letting the Scourge do all the work while he watches. When he levels the bases himself it's because he's lst his patience and is trying to speed things along.
