What could have been...

In leaked, cut content from KOTFE, Vaylin says something that would have been mindblowing and provided some closure at the same time:

Vaylin: "If you really want us to feel more like a family again, we can make that happen."
" Thexen wasn't our only sibling...."

The above is Vaylin chatting with Arcann, revealing that The Outlander is a child of Valkorion, and brother/sister of Arcann/Vaylin. Note that this part of the dialogue/story was ultimately cut out, obviously.

Thoughts? Would this have made KOTFE better or worse?

I think it's sad that Valkorion could ever produce the BH. Then I remember it was Vitiate at the time, and I feel better.

Furthermore, imagine if they simple cut the content from season 1 and plan on using it in a later season. Strange times, indeed.

That's probably what's going to happen.

Given the dialogue from Valkorion throughout the expansion...

"You are a part of me I wish to keep."

"You must become more than what you are."

"You do not need to convince me. I am more aware of your potential than you are."
"Why?"
"All will become clear in time."

We have a Valklander on our hands!

The timeline would make no sense honestly. But that would be a nice twist.

He has bodies that have been running the Empire quasi for centuries. The timeline would be fine.

Christ no, ge goes from hell bent on killing the HoT to him being his child? 😬

Hero of Tython was under spell of Valkorion once. The latter might have converted Hero of Tython into a child during this time.

Given that Vaylin and Arcann had specific knowledge of another sibling, I'm pretty sure the Hero was supposed to be/could still be Valkorion's actual biological son, as opposed to a Child of the Emperor.

I approve of this direction.

Too bad it was nixed. How dare the TOR writers come up with something good!

Yeh, Valkorion's compassion really helped Thex.... oh wait.

Because Valkorion is parent of the year and definitely didn't raise his children to murder each other?

It was nixed for now, but given that it can come back later, and Valkorion's dialogue, I bet it's still a good possibility.

Not to my knowledge, its pretty evident he values them as at the very least powerful assets, it makes little sense in that respect that Valkorion wouldn't have attempted to claim him sooner, less sense he'd try to outright destroy him.

This... this feels like some crappy WWE McMahon story line tbh.
