Blood King Kael'Thas Sunstrider
Hello everyone! Today's upload will be quite special. We will not be meeting anyone from the Brigade this time, but a well known figure that has returned to Azeroth after one of the mere setbacks that have befallen him - none other than Blood King Kael'Thas Sunstrider, risen as a San'layn!
"Then, slowly, his eyes began to open, as the blood curse pulled his very soul from the Shadowlands. These eyes were purely black, the eyes of a hungry predator, wanting to strike and devour whatever he could get his claws on. Despite being undead, there was almost a life-like glint to this dangerous, pitch black gaze. A look that was starved and very much wanting to gorge. Slowly, he sat up, his wings opening gloriously for a moment before draping down, quite like Lana’thel’s had at rest. Slowly he looked about, many strands of his pure white hair falling into his face. His mouth was partially opened as he appeared to breathe out of habit, though he needed to take no breaths. A long tongue lashed out and swept over his fangs. He was hungry.
Theraldis did not hesitate to hold out a broken blood orb to him, offering him blood. The Blood King accepted it and began to drink…and drink… and drink. His hunger was not sated with just one. After having gone through several more, finally, he spoke. His voice was soft, tired, and cold.
“Well well well. It has been a while, hasn’t it?” he chuckled. “It appears the only setback was not just Tempest Keep. What have I been made? How is it that I can think so clearly… my head is not fogged with madness… only hunger, at first, which is sated for now?” Around him did three orbs of red float. One over each shoulder, and one over his head. He would be given royal black and red robes for proper garb, much darker than he used to wear, soon enough, to complete him."
This piece was done as a commission for the wonderful TheMostEpicFox as a surprise for the San'Layn community. I had a lot of fun working on such an iconic character in a unique form. I hope you like the final result! Thank you for commissioning me!

It will be better than BFA or at the same level as Lich King or Legion.
The San'layn or vampire in the Horde

Oooo I hadn't seen the all refined version of it yet and those bloody balls are truly scary now XD
Like they'd leave the nastiest of bloodstains haha XD
He looks awesome, the stylish almost organic surroundings and the light it adds works great with this scene!

I love this version of Kael'thas even better! San'layn makes everything better!
He's also somewhat sinister, which makes him even more incredibñe!

Duuuude! Yes, i love this so much, he was one of my favourite characters in wow, now he is even better!!!

Galder In reply to DireDiamond [2019-07-25 07:58:37 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! Same here. I've always felt that they treated Kael, such an iconic character, in a terrible way.
I almost wish I could just use time magic to undo the damage Blizzard has done.

Nowadays, you never know what BS they might pull, they might bring him back into the ongoing crazy Sylvanas story in some dumb way...

MorellSunweaver [2019-07-23 19:51:06 +0000 UTC]
That would be something to write a long and many texts about. I prefer him alive, but this is really cool incarnation. Scary monster.

Thank you! I'd love to have him back in any meaningful way.

MorellSunweaver In reply to Galder [2019-07-24 07:46:51 +0000 UTC]
Having no control over his need for fell energy, his desire for blood would be just as much beyond any of his control. Just contunuing of the path to doom. But it would be cruel and scary right as vampire should be.
Gah, but would be good to have him back.

Wow, he looks fantastic!
Would be the hammer of a twist to the story and make the San'layn much more interesting.

Can't agree more!
Still Blizzard has so many great possible allied races already, so there is hard competition.

decide to SURPRISE us with some amazing old god influence apologies.. *cough cough*
