Blizzard Entertainment released the last of the Shadowlands Afterlives animated shorts: Revendreth.

A little less impactful than the previous three as the only character that speaks throughout the video is Sire Denathrius — but Garrosh being tormented was highlighted at the beginning and the end of the video.

Sire Denathrius sweet talks his Venthyr brethren into accepting the rationing of anima due to the mysterious anima drought affecting their Revendreth realm.

One thing we can certainly read from the visuals is that the Arbiter was functioning when Garrosh’s soul arrived to the Shadowlands, judging him and sending him to Revendreth.

It will be interesting to learn more about Garrosh, as he was not present during BETA up to the time I played through Revendreth. Will he be a boss? Will we rescue his soul and accept him as an ally?

Setting him as an ally in Revendreth wouldn’t be a surprise. We have the precedent of Lady Vashj becoming our ally in Maldraxxus, alongside Draka.

We will have to wait the flip of he coin until Blizzard launches a future end-game patch introducing Garrosh Hellscream. The poor thing is in agony.

But if Garrosh became an ally… should we trust him? Last time someone trusted him, he snapped his neck (sorry, Kairozdormu) and incited an all-out dejavu Horde invasion upon Azeroth from the past.

We might have to thread carefully into trusting Garrosh. But I wouldn’t be surprised either if Garrosh is presented as a dungeon or raid boss in a future patch.

Just saying, in terms of storytelling — it would make more sense if we encounter him in a catacomb, free him, and he joins the Venthyr rebellion so we can learn more about what he witnessed since his arrival to Revendreth. We need a vehicle how to learn more about Sire Denathrius and his connection with the Dreadlords and the Jailer.
