But at precisely the same time, the simple fact that WOW Classic TBC Gold Activision-Blizzard waited this long to announce that the launch date meant that I was somewhat worried that some of the bombastic expansion launches -- like that of the maligned Battle For Azeroth -- were something of the past. However, Blizzard just introduced the Bastion animated brief, the very first part of the Afterlives series, which will see new episodes for all those Covenants in Shadowlands leading up to launch.

And for anybody that has spent plenty of time with the sport, and more importantly, has paid some quantity of attention to the narrative, will find a lot to love in this particular cinematic. Here, see it today, because I will be spoiling the whole thing .

The whole shtick of the video series seems to be moving through all of the covenants, and Bastion is themed around the Kyrian covenant in, well, Bastion. Based on Wowhead's summary of each of those covenants, the Kyrian are"tasked with shuttling spirits between the lands of the living and the dead". If you want a way more in-depth guide to everything the Kyrian Covenant provides, Wowhead has you covered there,

But a bunch of angels shepherding the souls of the dead to where they belong into the Shadowlands is pretty much exactly what I expected from a minumum of one of the covenants in Shadowlands, so what really blew me was that characters were chosen to illustrate the covenant's purpose.

Blizzard centered the introduction to the Kyrian covenant around Uther the Lightbringer, who is among the most significant characters in all of Warcraft. Not only was this dude the initial paladin, but he was also the teacher of buy WOW TBC Classic Gold Arthas Menethil, probably the most famous villain in Warcraft history -- you may know him as the Lich King.
