These all have a 3D view, I think the Dreadlord turned out really nice.

[Zula]

Wow interesting, but excuse me for my ignorance... but how do you play that? is sorta like a roleplaying game right?

The Naga are one of the common foes players face in the World of Warcraft. Led by their corrupted Queen, Lady Vashj, the Naga have helped to further Illidan the Betrayer's dark plans for the world of men. The serpentine race can often be found in coastal villages or marshy areas.

It is amusing that I cant help to doubt if it is a mistake or a retcon

[Gurtogg_Bloodboil]

It's a mistake.

[Omacron]

Those models are surprisingly nifty, I also kinda like that "faction design" they have for monsters, TBH.

[Lon-ami]

They're cool, but I still think that it's something like the WoW TCG.

Just like, but don't play nor buy it.

[Saim]

What's up with the "world of men"? That sounds more LotR-ish than WC-ish.

Its not really that wrong, Vashj is the leader of the reciently emerged Naga. Shes in charged of all the Naga that we see today. I beleive that the Naga that are still loyal to Azshara are still in the Maelstrom. This brings up another question, do you think the queen is fully aware of Vashj's doings? It seems that she almost has become a rogue leader of a seperate set of naga. There hasnt been a lot said about the queen and even if she approved of Vashj's current doings.

Do you have a source for all the naga on Azeroth's shorelines bowing to Vashj? I really doubt the clan working in Black Fathom Deeps to free old gods is serving her, for example.

[Mark_Romaneck]

Well who does Ahsara´s loyalties lie to?

I would imagine to the burning legion, but then would Vashj be a betrayer? fighting the legion alongside Illidan and all

Azshara swore her life to the Old Gods. She would be dead if they hadn't turned her and her people into the naga.

Oy I see

Do you have a source stating that they dont? There has been no indacation that the Naga have split factions, nor does it say they haven't. The fact is we dont know. It would seem that Vashj has become the leader of the Naga that have risen from the depts. There is not enough evidence to support anything. I can only assume that Vashj is acting on her own accord at this point. Azshara has remained silent for so long, and Vashj was forced into her position by supporting Kael since TFT. I doubt her original plan was to flee Azeroth to chase the dreams of a half demon half blind Night elf. Only time will tell, but rationality states shes on her own now.

Vashj was characterized as being almost psychotically loyal to Azshara. She even tried to kill Tyrande because she was jealous her Queen saw something special about her. At least this was the case 10,000 years ago.

It was Azshara who sent Vashj out to ally with Illidan. There is no reason to believe Vashj has usurped control of all Naga or that Azshara is just totally inactive. By all indications, Azshara still leads the Naga from Nazjatar. Vashj certainly holds a very high rank amongst Naga though.

Well, if Kael can turn from being among the most loyal and honourable people in the universe into a total whackjob with a Chronic Backstabbing Disorder in six years, I bet Vashj's loyalty could die in ten thousand.

It could of course be that the Old Gods somehow got wind of Illidan's purposes and ordered Vashj to help Illidan in order to get a possible future enemy (Ner'Zhul) out of the way.

However, Blizz never has explained exactly WHY Vashj joined forces with Illidan. Right now, we could just as well say that Illidan seduced her with his blind charm.

[Lon-ami]

What about Neptulon and others being angry with Vashj?

I still think she's loyal o Azshara, but... is Azshara loyal to the Old Gods?
