But they had nothing to do in Patch 11.0.7 and 11.1.0, and when they finally show up in 11.1.5, it's to be faceless empty mooks to be mowed down in the hundreds. You know, there's a quest in the main story where it was revealed that many of the Ascended were actually kidnapped and brainwashed civilians. And the patch completely ignores the moral complexity that these enemies are actually ordinary people forced to fight against their will, in favor of Paladin hits Monster with Hammer.

And then in Patch 11.2.0, we need to find an expert in pheromone synthesis and are sent to Azj-Kahet... to talk to the niffen. Like, the niffen do have a strong sense of smell and a good understanding of fragrance, but the Nerubians have an entire sect of society dedicated to the synthesis of specific pheromones! And we are personal friends with Executor Nizrek, so we have connections. But instead we get sent to a character that has only a tangential connection to the field and they're our "expert". It'd be like getting sent to Dun Morogh to seek out an expert in tinkering and then getting directed to some random dwarf.

initially just wanted to get comfy sketching with a specific brush i like to use for lineart, but i enjoyed how this turned out enough to slap a few flat colors on it.
