Exactly. That's what you are supposed to be as a Kyrian - just a ferryman, not someone who judges the carried soul.
Well, I guess the archon has something to say eventually? So, you only need to become one

?
If by past issues, you mean ones related to her time as a Kyrian - perhaps.
That too but I was referring to past life.
So, how did this business start anyway, with the first dying creature? Is the arbiter or their leader the first cell that died xD?
Arthas himself wasn't really a problem. The issue is that the Maw (a.k.a. Warcraft hell) has this evil being called the Jailer, who is considered to be a huge threat to the Shadowlands. Luckily, he (a.k.a. "the evil") was locked in the Maw long ago and since nothing can escape it (not true, btw), he's not really a threat in his current state.
Well, the idea would be that Arthas or an agent outside the Maw would be able to free the Jailer.
Man, this is not at all Biblical inspired, no siree.
So, I fail to see how the Archon and co. would not realize something that rookie Devos realized in a blink of an eye (she doesn't blink does she
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
?).
So, then, if Arthas is able to break the Jailer free or at least get out of the Maw, then all the limits of the system will go to dust. I'm assuming he'd be able to get out because he had something to do with the Light or because wielding and being a part of Frostmourne made him bent time and space even more than the super being that is the Jailer could. Maybe, he releases the Jailer? But Arthas is not the type to be manipulated easily, even though, now in a weak state. Also, Sylvanas... imagine if they'd both be there... it'll be a fest that would ensure the Maw's demise or at least throw it into a long stupor.
Don't tell me, Sylvanas is gonna redeem herself by fighting against Arthas.
Buuuuut... The way Devos looked at it was that if Arthas was using the power of the Maw/Jailer, then he probably was in league with him, so if he ended up anywhere else other than the Maw, especially in an afterlife whose denizens were completely oblivious to Arthas' allegiance (which they most likely would be, because as the short has shown, most if not all creatures that live in the Shadowlands believe that nothing can escape the Maw, so it's impossible that the Jailer can have allies outside of the Maw), then he could have secretly worked towards freeing the Jailer from his prison and not really be noticed, because no one would consider that this could be what he is doing.
Uh-huh, they would not monitor him at all? Stupid angels society. Also, the mind twisting plot again with old gods aka Jailer corrupting the mind of Neltharion aka Arthas.
Based on the beta gameplay
Ofc., fight the power when you want things your way instead. Very educational.
Also, if the J-dude doesn't betray, then it's really lame. I mean twist of the twist of the twist.
Makes sense though for Uther to work with Arthas. Maybe we're gonna see a sort of redeemable story. I can't wait :|
I mean, I see where this is going as with Legion when the Light was forced upon creatures and not a blessing that Illidan, a freaking junkie, showed the world what's proper and that rebellion was good. The hypocrisy.
No system is pefect and sometimes even the wisest make mistakes. I think that fundamentally Devos did had a point - the path of the Kyrian had flaws. It's not unreasonable to say that purging memories left the Kyrian blind to some potential threats and in that sense, perhaps some changes could or even should be made.
But she was right because she wanted to be?
There is a huge number of different afterlives available in the Shadowlands, so not everyone goes to Bastion and ascends to become a Kyrian.
Oh, like the Buddhist heavens or maybe we should call them the Dante hells.
I think Devos knew that he wouldn't go to Bastion and it only made things worse,
That's really tragic when you think you know better than the most experienced without even considering you'd be wrong or waiting for the trial results first.
Arthas could rise in the ranks and gain power within a different Covenant without forgetting his potential allegiance to the Jailer. Now, if nobody would know of his past, he could eventually gain enough strength and influence to be a threat.
Arthas was never a band guy. He'd probably put a sword through the Jailer and seize control himself.
Uther might be a rookie, but if Devos was going to basically start her own "cult" then it's better to have one rookie follower than none. Also, Uther still presumably has his damaged soul, which is a proof of Devos' claims that she could potentially use (along with her high position) to secrently (she's seen that trying to openly "reform" other Kyrian won't work) convert others.
It's gonna take millions of years then.
Anyways, Uther wasn't the only one killed that way by Arthas. So, he's not special. The evidence is all over.
I do and to me it only made the fact that it was Uther who tossed Arthas into the Maw that much sweeter
Well, that doesn't really mean a special place. It's just any place in hell.
The thing is, I don't think Shadowlands has some sort of a police force that goes around different afterlives looking for renegade or dangerous souls, so there's a risk that before someone found out that Arthas wasn't fairly trialed or was a threat, he'd already mess a lot of things up.
Well, that's just silly. Imagine if judges in our world would give sentences but the police wouldn't take those people to jail or there would be none to monitor the jails...
It makes little sense, them barking about the Shadowlands system and whatnot but actually doing things with their backs at the issue.
We'll see how the series plays out. Right now, it's a mess.
