I would kill/die for blizz to release an RP handbook for warcraft. How does a religiously devout civilian night elf spend her average day? What mysticism do rogues practice? How long does a healing spell take to work? IS RESURRECTION CANON OR NOT JUST SAY IT STRAIGHT PLEASE.
@Kaldorei_Life
For Resurrection player characters have immortal souls, but normal characters do not. This is kinda touched on when you die in the first zone as a demon hunter. Illidan has the same type of soul.

@TheAmberBerries
Blizz can't even accurately describe what state of firearms technology we're in for hunters. Like they still make a lot of muzzle loader shit but then also revolvers, shotguns, and ammo icons that clearly looked like casings. Like pls just give us a time frame to compare to.
@Kaldorei_Life
And about how longer does a healing spell take to work... I think its depend how powerfull is the person. Anduin heal an entire army in seconds and a novate could take days
@Kaldorei_Life
I think they’ll never outright say resurrection is canon. They’ll keep it vague like “DKs go hog wild raising other dks, priests go sploosh! Etc…”
@Kaldorei_Life
Resurrection is canon... sorta. It's part of the Blood Elf Paladin questline in TBC. You kill a guy then go bring him back, but it is noted that you have a very short timeframe to do it, and potentially it depends on their willingness to return + how much 'overkill' there was.
@Kaldorei_Life
Also, there were the Warcraft RPG books. But these are noncanon, they had some neat stuff in them... and some very not neat stuff in them. You could use them as inspiration but don't cite them as fact.
@Kaldorei_Life
There was once a Warcraft RPG and it stuns me that especially during the pandemic where RPGs are all the rage and popular they haven't paired up with WotC or anyone to release a new version
@Kaldorei_Life
if you go to the classic version you could get to know a lot of the stuff like druid bear form/etc and how they get it in lore. it's really interesting
@Kaldorei_Life
I want this, but I also don't. It'd be awesome to clarify and expand on a lot of stuff, but I also know the player base will use it to hit each other over the head with for perceived differences.
@Kaldorei_Life
My head cannon for resurrection in WoW is that, when we as players die, we’ve not yet fully passed through to the shadowlands during the time that we’re rezzable. When we fall, we’re at the edge of death. Rez spells are just like a visit to the ER.
@Kaldorei_Life
Definitely canon. Your soul returns to your body on Azeroth, while a part of you returns in the Shadowlands. When you sacrifice your body as a DH, your hero’s spirit returns unscathed. Since your characters are protagonists, they are extra-ordinary in their res ability.
