I think we will see Rahandir once more in the second human book. Likely ending and revealing the half elf twins affair. Maybe adopting them? :D

I still wonder what is the twins' secret? Are they half-elves, were conceived through magic?

Yeah, a sarcastic evil skeleton raising two kids? That would be funny! They would learn to raise the dead before learning to walk!:D

He no longer lives there. Its full of demons after the fall of the human defensive line. Bet he will use Gardon´s own trick on Salana and raise them in elven kingdom, uncle Rahandir and aunt Salana. Maybe even nanny Larine? :D

Damn the conversation between the emperor and the children:
Theodor:My children it's so good to see you again
The twins: Please dad,use your brain for a change we are not happy to see you!
Theodor:But...*cries*
The twins:We would never talk to a simplistic moron like you!Our mother got her hearth broken literaly because of you!
Theodor:I didn't...
The twins: Please tell us the truth...o,wait a mortal such as you could not comprehend it!Bye dad,your role ended a long time ago in this little tale!
Rahandir: I am Rahandir Drakeskull and I approve this! Come here my dear nephews, give Uncle Drake a hug!
GET ROASTED
I can't do a good Rahandir impression,but this will have to do!

You forgot this:
Rahandir: I am Rahandir Drakeskull and I approve this! Come here my dear nephews, give Uncle Drake a hug!

But now for real. For what purpose could the twins have for Rahandir? Maybe creating two apprentices, like the Sith Lords in Star Wars, except that whole "kill your master" thing, to continue Aridon's legacy?

It may be that whatever dark power influenced emperor and queen to have children wishes them as a new vessel, two dark archons. Rahandir may simply be trying to keep the kids out of that evil´s reach.

What if Rahandir obtained some kind of powers that will allow him to defend them from evil spirits and guide them to an after life as undead?
Wait,wait,sorry i just mixed Legends of Arkain and bleach!Ignore what i just typed:p
Now seriously, i have a theory that the dark entity of great power that Brian talks about may want them.He is influencing the empire,but only that,he may need the twins as vessels as @Boriss said,to truly enter this world!

Aridon is Aizen.
Brian is Urahara Kisuke.
Is the dark entity Yhwach?

There is a possibility that, yes, Rahandir is trying to prevent the twins to fall into the dark entity's hands, but it doesn't answer why the Queen was trying to keep them away from Gardon, to the point she entrusted them to an undead.

It may be,because she knows what Gardon may do to them and since what Rahandir was,a great hero in his human life,she decided to entrust them to him.It's a lose-lose situation for her,but she decided that letting them fall into the hands of Gardon was the worst idea.Which bring me to the question why didn't Rahandir escort her to safety with the twins?

Many could recognize her even if she tried to escape. Hiding two twin babies is way easier. van Durce wouldn't pleased by her failure to keep her throne and could even have her killed.

Rebirth

It was a clear night. The wind was picking up, making the leaves rustle while the light of the moon revealed everything on the ground. Everything, especially the remains of those who were fighting at this place days ago. Betrayed by their own king, these brave soldiers of humanity were sent to their deaths because their king became paranoid.
King Uras the Fifth of Rengar, the richest realm of the Seven Kingdoms, called "Defender of Mankind". He sent two thousand soldiers to their deaths because he thought that their leader was plotting against him, because his advisors told him to get rid of him, because this one leader, who was more loyal than the whole council of the king, was more popular than he himself. The moonlight showed who this "Defender of Mankind" really was: A murderer, a madman. A traitor.
The troops had hold their position for several days before they were overwhelmed by the Demons who inhabited this place. Demons, the most wicked and vile creatures that ever existed. There has been no month without a battle against these creatures, no week without waiting for them to attack, no day without being reminded of their trickery and their evil sorcery. They say, a single Demon might be capable of destroying a whole village if not opposed by true warriors. But what are the Demons compared to the schemes of humanity? The intrigues of mankind are already destroying the whole race from the inside, even without the Demons attacking the Kingdoms. The next real invasion of any other race would destroy humanity easily at its current state. Luckily, for the survivors of the clashes that take place before that happens, it might still take centuries before the next real invasion occurs. The Demons have a strange way of acting and the other races have other problems to deal with. Humanity is lucky. That's the only reason why it still exists.
A heavy breath. One of the fighters has survived the battle, heavily wounded. He can feel as life forsakes his body and as he slowly leaves this plane of existence. Only thanks to him and the healers, the soldiers managed to survive that long in this god-forsaken place. He looks around at his fallen comrades, feeling both endless shame and rage at the same time. When that big Demon's strike hit him, he realized that he had been a fool.
The king whose orders he obeyed, let him run into death. The man knew that the king became obsessed with the thought that he was to be replaced, but he didn’t think that it would make him even consider such actions. He was too blind to see what his king had become. That's at least what he wished to be the reason. Actually, he knew the truth: He didn't WANT TO see it! He didn't want to believe that the fear of the king would get the better of him. This was the punishment. Death. Ironic that it wasn't too long ago that he saved the life of the king himself. Now, so many had to die because of the madness of this king. The man had known these soldiers for years, he fought at their side countless times. Now, thanks to the king, they were dead. The man wouldn't have been surprised if some evil god with a twisted sense of humor was laughing right now, while watching him, suffering the pain and waiting for the end.
No, it wouldn't end like this! The man wouldn't ALLOW himself to die just like that! He would return to his king, spit in his face and kill him the most slow and painful way he could think of! This "Defender of Mankind" would suffer for the betrayal of his own kind! His family and advisors would be annihilated, just like the king annihilated all the soldiers here for his mere envy! No one would be able to escape revenge!
The man gathered the tiny bit of magic that still remained in his body and tried to give himself the power to stand up. He didn't care about the consequences, he just wanted to stand up and take revenge! He screamed in pure rage and bitterness. The magic exploded. The man could feel the life abandon his life, leaving him for good, but he was still there. He could feel new strength, his might returning to him, making him even more powerful than he was before. The man stood up, slowly walking away from this place of death. The king shall regret the day, he decided to betray his own kind. For from now on, his time would be over.

For days, the man walked through the forests and mountains that separated him from his target. He knew every route in the Seven Kingdoms, but no one was supposed to see him. Most likely, they already heard that his men were slain and thought him being dead. The king might even have celebrated this day with one of his concubines. He was everything but faithful. His wife was either too ignorant to see it or just looked the other way, not wanting to feel the agony of being cheated. It didn’t matter. Soon, she'd be dead along with her husband and the bastards who dare calling themselves advisors while they're actually just trying to gain more power. Sadly, this was how politics work. It would never change, but the man didn’t care anymore. He wanted to take care of those who wanted his death. Everything else didn't matter at all.
It was a dark, windy night when the man reached side entrance of the capital city. Three men were guarding it. The king, in all his wisdom, had decided that everyone who tried to enter the capital after midnight, was to be granted no entrance. If they still tried to enter, though, the soldiers were allowed to execute them. According to their banners, the guards were part of the king's personal army. That meant that they were more than ready to just kill anyone trying to enter. They were cruel bastards, but effective in battle. Making them guards instead of sending them to fight in the first line was just another proof of the king's stupidity and another reason why the people hated their king.
After the man left the forest and entered the street to continue his way, it didn't take the guards too long to notice them and prepare for a fight. They could be heard laughing, most likely already looking forward killing someone. The hood of the man hid his face, disabling them to see who he actually was. Just a few more steps and the man would've passed the gate, but the men surrounded him.
"See what we got here, boys. Some old fella trying to get through the gate." laughed the guy in front of the man, who also blocked the path to the gate.
"Never heard of the rules of the king, old man? No one is allowed to enter the cities after midnight. Midnight passed one hour ago, we are allowed to kill you right now. If I were you, I'd be begging for mercy!" another one said. The third man grinned and grabbed the hood of the man.
"Let us see your face before we kill you. Just so we know whose ugly face will never be seen again." he claimed. Then he removed the hood and fell to the ground, screaming both shocked and scared of what he just saw. It must've been the most terrifying thing he has ever seen in his whole life, a living nightmare.
"By the gods, what-" One move with the hand and both he and the first guard turned into ice. Another move. The ice melted in mere seconds. The second guard was about to beg for mercy – the man wondered if that simple minded moron was even capable of understanding the irony of this – but the man just moved his hand again and the guard exploded from the inside. Then he placed his hood back and entered the city. The few in the city, who were still not asleep, didn’t care about the sounds. They got used to the screams of those who were slain by the guards. The man continued his journey, unaffected by the gruesome deaths of these guards, and entered the dirty streets of the city.
No one minded the hooded man who was wandering through the streets, the few people who were still up were either had something illegal in mind, were too busy with their own business or just left the brothels and taverns and were on their way home. No one cared about one more hooded figure in the night.
It didn't take him long to arrive at the royal palace of the king. The man knew the palace like no one else – not even the king knew about all the secret passages that lead inside. The man only had to touch the stone walls. They still reacted to his touch, they opened and revealed the secret way. Only the man could open this secret door. He entered and the walls closed behind him again, as if the secret gate never had been there.

It took the man mere minutes to reach the king’s quarters. He knew this place all too well. He used to wander through these passages almost every week for years. He knew every candle, every guardian, every door, everyone and everything inside this palace. Another move with his arm and the door opened silently, allowing the man to enter. The room was filled with gold, almost everything was made out of it. Even the bed. The man could see that someone lied in the bed, but it was only one person – the queen. The first target. One move would be enough to make her suffer the same fate as the guards, but the man wanted to take revenge and suffer like he did. Some movements and magic surrounded her. She woke up, most likely feeling how her feet started to ache. She looked at the man with horror. He didn't wear his hood anymore and she looked into his dead eyes. She tried to say something, but she couldn't talk anymore. The man had used his magic to silence her. She wouldn't be able to scream as the ache became real pain. She wasn't able to scream when the pain became even worse. Little, summoned insects fed upon her body, eating it from the feet up to her stomach. She still tried to scream when the insects reached her head. The magic also didn’t allow her to die and made her feel through every second of her torment. This was nothing but a tiny bit of the pain the man had to go through. He watched every second of her torment and felt nothing. No happiness, no pleasure, just nothing. It took hours until it ended and the man was quite sure that, very close to the end, the queen realized who he was. In the end, the summoned insects disappeared after they had eaten all flesh, all bones, nothing was left, no trace that she had ever even existed. The man left, unmoved by the cruelty he just commited. He felt no guilt. She was among those who were responsible for his betrayal, there could've been no doubt about it.
The advisors shared a similar fate as the queen, they died, one after another. In the end, only the king himself remained. The man knew exactly where to find the "Defender of Mankind". The quest rooms, one particular guest room. The man could hear laugher, the king had more pleasure in bedding his most exotic guest than his wife. Soon, all three would be united again - in death. He entered the room the same way he entered the others. Nine people had died tonight, soon it’d be eleven. The man closed the door behind him and then broke the king and his lover apart with his magic. They looked at him, both confused and shocked. The king of Rengar and his "company" – the elven queen. It was rumoured that, soon, she'd allow her daughter to take over so she could enjoy her immortal life without ruling the Elven Kingdom. That day would come sooner than she thought. She was a vile woman who only used the Humans to fight her battles for her. The man had many good friends among the Elves, her daughter was said to be more popular than her mother but not to be trusted. The man had met her once. He didn't like her back then. Only time would show, but tonight, the Elves would lose her queen and the people of Rengar would lose their king. The man rose his hand to gather his magic and then pointed at her. A loud crushing. An ice meteor had fell from the sky – it landed directly on the elf and crushed her body completely. The king stared at her, not believing what he just saw. He tried to call the guards, but he was silenced by the same spell the man used on his wife.
This king would die a slow, gruesome death, he would suffer the same pain as the man did. First, the man entangled the king in this bed. Then, he froze the arms of the king while also burning them at the same, creating a magical symbiosis that was both effective and really painful. The king tried to scream but the spell prevented him from doing so. The man removed the insects once they were done eating the feet and used dark magic to make the king feel pain from both the inside and the outside. Feeling endless waves of pain, the king didn’t realize how his blood became corrupted by the dark magic – he was too busy fighting the pain. He had no chance. The man opened his mouth and an unnatural, strange sound, that made the king look at him filled with even more fear than pain, was the last thing, the king would ever hear. His blood began to burn in black flames, slowly killing the king in agony. The deed had been done.
The king and everyone else responsible for the betrayal of the soldiers were dead. Still, the man felt nothing. He left the palace the same way he entered it and also left the city. In a few hours, the people would realize that their king is dead and since he didn't have any heirs, chaos would reign for the next few years. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore. The man disappeared in the forest and, for the first time since days without rest, he stayed at one place. His journey was over, but the man somehow knew that his story wasn't over. This thought was confirmed sooner than he had expected.
"I've been watching your progress with great interest. We should meet, in person." A voice said inside his mind.
"Who are you?" asked the man, his voice sounded strange, not human at all.
"My name is Aridon, I am the guardian of this world. Come to me, Rahandir Drakeskull, and hear me out. You won't regret it."

The man removed the insects once they were done eating the feet and used dark magic to make the king feel pain from both the inside and the outside. Feeling endless waves of pain, the king didn’t realize how his blood became corrupted by the dark magic – he was too busy fighting the pain. He had no chance. The man opened his mouth and an unnatural, strange sound, that made the king look at him filled with even more fear than pain, was the last thing, the king would ever hear. His blood began to burn in black flames, slowly killing the king in agony. The deed had been done.
The king and everyone else responsible for the betrayal of the soldiers were dead. Still, the man felt nothing. He left the palace the same way he entered it and also left the city. In a few hours, the people would realize that their king is dead and since he didn't have any heirs, chaos would reign for the next few years. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore. The man disappeared in the forest and, for the first time since days without rest, he stayed at one place. His journey was over, but the man somehow knew that his story wasn't over. This thought was confirmed sooner than he had expected.
"I've been watching your progress with great interest. We should meet, in person." A voice said inside his mind.
"Who are you?" asked the man, his voice sounded strange, not human at all.
"My name is Aridon, I am the guardian of this world. Come to me, Rahandir Drakeskull, and hear me out. You won't regret it."

Guess who Renova's mother is.

Wait... is Renova a half-elf?

Well technically,since we haven't seen any elven price yet,you can call them all pussues:D

Yeah, but most of the queen's servants are a bunch of freaking idiots too. They know their queen's plans and just go along with it.

I now realized that the Elves' attitude was most likely based on the Elves' attitude on Warcraft.

It's called loyalty,blind loyalty,but loyalty no less.

Depends on what elves you are talking about?The elves in this campaign are close to the high elves,because they did nothing to help while others gave them help!

Believe me, I value loyalty a lot. But following a clear selfish queen that was willing to leave the very people that came to save her to die while she flees to the other side of the sea sounds stupid.

The High Elves, which by the way are the Elves I hate the most on Warcraft. A bunch of selfish and self-rightseous pricks...
The orcs invade Lordaeron? Not our problem, even though we are part of the Alliance.
The orcs are attacking Quel'Thalas? Oh Alliance come to aid us!
The war is over? They leave the Alliance and blame them for the destruction Quel'Thalas endured.

LOL just what i wrote a few seconds ago:D
You are absolutely right and i agree!
They only send very small squad forces to aid the humans(just as the high elves did in the second war)
Someone disagrees just like Alleria Windrunner,that would be Larine for this campaign and say they have to fight
They do it for a short while(like in the second war)
They pull out completely of this conflict and just defend they're homes like cowards(and if it wasnt Gardon to make them fight the elves of Arkain would become just like the Blood elves,almost extinct)
This is just my opinion no need to agree with it!

Thank you!

They built their whole nation on troll lands and yet act like the trolls started it.

None of the now called High Elves were at Silvermoon when the Scourge attacked and didn't come to aid the survivors. They didn't have to endure the magic addiction the Blood Elves did, since they got aid from the humans. They seem to ignore the fact that the humans practically drove the Blood Elves away from the Alliance and are disgusted when they decided to join the Horde. They did nothing to purify the Sunwell and yet feed of its magic.

God, I hate them so much!

Actually about 90% of the High Elf survivors after the Scourge invasion turned Blood Elves. Most of the other 10% weren't at Silvermoon. Even the brave and honorable Vereesa Windrunner.

wow i edited my message the same time you posted yours:D
You may want to see what i wrote.
Shar may have based these elven on something completely different,maybe on the elves from Warhammer,but they have a lot of simularities to the warcraft elves too

I won't discuss this futher,but losing about 90% of your population may not mean your nation is extinct i kind of exxagerated that,but it's a very heavy blow nonetheless

And then you realise.Spin-off campaigns,fuck yeah coming after the second books giving us more Gardon every day,yeah.:)
So don't worry it won't be a goodbye!
I'd rather like the spin offs to be based on the kingdoms/factions etc etc rather than the characters even tho a Gardon spinoff is A O.K with me HELL probably even two spinoffs for him would be even better xD.

They will have variety,im sure.Gardon needs a spin-off expanding his backstory,if it isn't made in the official campaign that is.That's enough for him.Characters like Harmos,Thanok,Cora and others need a spin off made on them first to make them more likeable in my opinion.

Imagine if Duke Volarian got his nickname ''the tyrant'',because he reminder everyone of the regime of the tyranic empire(Zyainor).
I know that is not the case,but it would be funny!

I think that Renova allowed Rahandir to get away with the kids because of enchantment used on her. Rahandir possibly recognized the spell and used it for his advantage. The spell might work in priorities. Priority alpha: dont let Gardon get the kids. Priority omega: dont let anyone else get the kids. In case its situation where you have to cross one of these, well you cross out priority omega to maintain priority alpha order.

You may be right,to back you up in one of the interludes of the undead book(the one where he talks privately with Saphira)Rahandir indirectly mentioned he is familiar with the magic Gardon uses to control his troops.It is possible that he used the same magic on Renova.

Is there a way to keep Salomar alive in the second book? Just wondering since I remember being able to do that when the book first came out but I can't seem to find out how again.

On my campaign, Salomar was killed by that death knight. I guess the only way is to prevent Aedale from absorbing both shard and artifact, though she gets corrupted either way. In the orc and undead book, this doesn't happen.

No sorry,there isn't.Depending on the choices you've made in the campaign he either gets killed in chapter 10 of the first book or the prologue of the second book.There never was a way to prevent his death.
