Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Before match

Anduin Wrynn (present)
▶️When I was a boy, my father ruled as the King of Stormwind... and I was his most loyal subject.
▶️I remember him as the hero of all my stories. He fought dragons to save me. He won every battle.
▶️But as I got older, I learned that he couldn't always be the savior I needed.

Introduction

King Varian
▶️It's time I saw to your training, my son.
Anduin Wrynn
▶️Not this again...

Emote Response

King Varian
▶️We can talk later, Anduin.

Hero Power

King Varian
▶️Focus!
▶️Put your heart into it.
▶️You must try harder.

Idle

King Varian
▶️You take after your mother, don't you? If only she were still with us.
▶️Our family has many enemies. I need you to be ready when they strike.
▶️A gentle heart cannot win wars.

Turn 1

King Varian
▶️There are many great warriors in our family. You will be another.
Anduin Wrynn
▶️Every rule has an exception.

Turn 3

King Varian
▶️Take up your sword, Anduin. You were meant to hold one.
Anduin Wrynn
▶️Then why is it so heavy?!

Turn 6

Anduin Wrynn
▶️I just don't know what kind of warrior I could be.
King Varian
▶️Ah, you have so many options! Arms, fury, protection...
Anduin Wrynn
▶️That's not what I meant.

Death

King Varian
▶️All right. I think it would be best if you trained with someone else.
▶️The dwarves might be able to show you what I cannot. Their strength is truly something to behold.

Defeat

King Varian
▶️We can train again as soon as you are ready. I'm always here for you.

Lore[edit | edit source]

"The Horde has committed heinous crimes,  Vol'jin. But some among you fought against Garrosh's tyranny. For that, I'm willing to end this bloodshed. But know this: if your Horde fails to uphold honor as Garrosh did, we will end you."

Varian Wrynn was leader of the Alliance, and father of  Anduin Wrynn.

Varian Wrynn, also known as Lo'Gosh the "Ghost Wolf", was the former King of Stormwind and High King of the Grand Alliance.
Varian's life has been defined by tragedy and conflict. The murder of his father, King Llane, by the assassin Garona Halforcen weighs heavily on him, along with the accidental death of his wife, Tiffin, during a riot. The king has recently returned to the throne following his abduction by the Defias Brotherhood and the black dragon  Onyxia, who disguised herself as Lady Katrana Prestor. Robbed of his memories and enslaved by a Horde gladiatorial trainer in Kalimdor, Varian fought his way to freedom, earning the nickname "Lo'Gosh", or "ghost wolf", while in battle. With the help of his comrades, he was able to recover his true identity and finally defeat Onyxia. Under his daring leadership, the humans of Stormwind led the Alliance to victory against the Lich King in Northrend, and now seek to bolster their strategic holdings against their perennial enemy, the Horde. Known for his tenacity and fierce will, King Varian Wrynn is committed to protecting the Alliance's interests and raising his son, Anduin, to follow in his place. With the world plunged into chaos by the great Cataclysm, he has taken up military leadership of the Alliance, and vowed to forge a new destiny for Azeroth.
Leading the Alliance armies against the Burning Legion at the Broken Shore, Varian fell in battle at the gates of the Tomb of Sargeras, sacrificing himself to allow the Alliance forces to escape. Before staying behind to fight, Varian entrusted  Genn Greymane with a letter to his son Anduin, advising him that one must be willing to fight in order to preserve peace. In the aftermath of the battle, he was succeeded by Anduin as King of Stormwind and High King of the Alliance.
