Warrior of Light: A Mindless Killer

[Theodric]

Back in WoW, it was common for some of the more vocal residents of the lore forum to pick and choose what they accepted as canon because it suited whatever agenda they sought to push at the time. Mostly that revolved around painting their favoured faction or playable race in the best possible light whilst doing everything possible to paint their least favoured faction and playable race in the worst possible light. Eventually most of the regular posters ended up being terribly bored by it all and either stopped posting altogether or simply resorted to lurking instead.

It's a very slippery slope to pick and choose what is considered to be canon. If it's in-game then it's reasonable and safe to assume that it's canon and relevant until stated otherwise. Let's not pretend as if the game doesn't bend over backwards to try and make as much stuff as possible make sense in the context of the lore, including certain game mechanics such as dungeon timers being attributed to how long adventurers can delve into a particular ruin before succumbing to aether sickness.
