Half an hour concept idea before work!
So! Like, I had an AU idea going around whereas you remember how Alkrenon was so peeved that people still followed the Prophet after that Legion fiasco in the Exodar and how Alkrenon tried to convince to stop following him and not go to Argus?
Well, yeah, that. Despite his protests Alkrenon only managed to gather a small following, certainly not enough to convince the entire draenei populace. And this didn’t sit well with Alkrenon, no sir. He would PROVE THEM WRONG WHATEVER IT TOOK
And if you remember back in Draenor, the Alkrenon there was already an eredar lord called ‘Alkrenon the Kruel’. He survived the assault on Shattrath and hightailed it back to Argus. In Legion, Alkrenon the Kruel returns. And oh boy, our Alkrenon wants him out of the way.
No no, not out of any service of goodness or anything. No, our Alkrenon wants to REPLACE him because he’s just not good enough to get the job done. You heard right. That Alkrenon is not evil for the right reasons.
Long story short, Alkrenon tricks a few good adventurers into infiltrating a Legion ship and killing The Kruel for him because hey if HE shows up that’s going to make the demons think their leader just went traitor on them and that’s gonna catch too much unwanted attention, so no, someone else has to do it. And instead of disposing the body of his evil doppelganger, Alkrenon consumes his fel energy – effectively just trading one evil for another. And oh, he will wait in Argus. And he will be RIGHT.
You shouldn’t have come here.
