WARNING: Midnight spoilers in this post!
On the Midnight alpha, we've datamined the broadcast text and storyline descriptions for a questline involving Vereesa Windrunner and her nephew Arator in the ruins of Dalaran!
Most notably, this includes a long-awaited model update for the Silver Covenant's Ranger-General, complete with new elven iconography and red gems to match the necklace gifted to her by her sister. Notably, this is an In-Game Cinematic model, meaning this questline will have a proper cutscene.
She also has a similar update to her in-game model, with a texture upgrade to the existing gear items as well as her new shoulders, tabard, and cloak.
According to the descriptions, the questline centers around Arator seeking out the guidance of Vereesa as one of his view living relatives. Vereesa was the one who raised him while Alleria and Turalyon were off fighting demons in the Twisting Nether, which means this questline has plenty of potential for the family angst befitting the Windrunners.
NEW Visions of a Shadowed Sun
Meet with Arator and Vereesa on the Isle of Dorn to discuss Vereesa's disturbing dreams.
NEW Arator, son of Alleria, seeks the council of his family--but the living Windrunners are scattered to the winds. Accompany Arator as he seeks Vereesa in the ruins of Dalaran, and together uncover hints of an ominous future yet to pass.
NEW 5707
Name: Radiant Visions
Description: Join Arator and Vereesa Windrunner on Oztan Isle off the coast of the Isle of Dorn and help them deal with the dire Radiant Song visions Vereesa has been having.
There are also a few isolated pieces of broadcast text, indicating that Vereesa's dreams will include visions of Rhonin, former leader of the Kirin Tor and Vereesa's husband prior to his death at the bombing of Theramore. Rhonin is also the father to Vereesa's twin sons, Giramar and Galadin, who in the current story would be nearing adulthood and may also appear in this questline.
Rhonin--
Vereesa!
Arator...?!
Where are you?
(painful groan)
No...
The screams...
The horror.
Stop!
It's too much!
I cannot bear to see this!
Stop! Stop!
NOOOO!!!
Shal'na! Come back to us.
Vereesa is a character frequently sidelined in favor of other characters, with relevant storylines such as Sylvanas' arc in BfA and Shadowlands or the destruction of Dalaran in TWW having her conspicuously absent. With luck, this questline will finally allow the third Windrunner sister to gain a more relevant spotlight as we focus on Quel'thalas in Midnight.
