#rakeesh

We are 🔴LIVE🟢 and back at it again for another chiiiiill Friday Night Vibes! Come on in!

“There are many souls in Argus. Lost. Find them, and return them to me so that they may finally rest.”

Combining an old concept sketch of an uncorrupted Rakeesh with the fun idea of returning to Argus in a possible future expansion (fingers crossed) got me thinking about the kind of quests that we may encounter.

After Rakeesh’s death maybe his soul has returned home, to Argus. And while his father, Velen, leads the draenei people, Rakeesh is trying to guide and rest the many wayward, troubled draenei souls left wandering in Argus. 

You, the hero, would help Rakeesh find these souls. As you quested along the areas they may appear randomly and you have a narrow window of time to engage and defeat them, perhaps gathering in a crystal you carry that Rakeesh gave you at the start. The souls would be randomly created NPCs so that no character would run into the same NPC souls twice (or would be rare to). As you level the souls would “calm” and speak to you, perhaps telling you a bit about their lives in selected areas that trigger their flavor script. At level cap Rakeesh beckons you to return them to him, as they are ready to rest and be with the Light.

“He would’ve looked just like you.”

haha so what if the whole terrible Burning Legion thing never happened and Rakeesh lived to be a normal draenei? look at the son of our Prophet

If I hadn’t already wanted to set Kil’Jaeden on fire before, that low blow about Rakeesh would have been sufficient motivation to get through that awful trash and melt his face.
