But a bunch of angels shepherding the souls of the dead to where they belong into the Shadowlands is pretty much exactly what I expected from a minumum of one of those covenants in Shadowlands, so what really blew me away here was that personalities were chosen to illustrate the covenant's purpose.
Blizzard centered the introduction into the Kyrian covenant around Uther the Lightbringer, who is one of the most significant characters in all of Warcraft. Not only was that this dude the first paladin, but he was also the teacher of Arthas Menethil, probably the most well-known villain in Warcraft history -- you might know him as the Lich King.
In the animation, Uther's soul arrives on the doorstep of this Kyrian in Bastion, since there's some kind of afterlife sorting system which places souls where they belong into the Shadowlands. However, Uther can't forego his life, and he thirsts for justice. He is chastised for it for some time before Devos, the Paragon watching over him, finds that his spirit is wounded from Frostmourne, the Lich King's blade
I could probably enter super-deep detail about why some of the matters, but I will save myself the effort, and also you the agony of digging it. What matters is the runes on Frostmourne are seemingly from the Maw, an area of the Shadowlands where only the most wicked, irredeemable spirits are cast. And, Arthas, that has caused so much harm, by apparently channeling the ability of the maw, was cast into that wicked place by the spirit of his youth teacher who expired with his blade.
This is a cartoon that's totally in the world of fan service but it's completely working.
