Patch 8.1 Plot Speculation - Saurfang, Delaryn, Sira Moonwarden, Derek Proudmoore, Tyrande

A few days ago, we posted some
interesting datamined spells surrounding Xal'atath
. With such a popular reception, we dug into the new
spells
,
items
, and
NPCs
to see what we could find on other Patch 8.1 stories, including Saurfang, Sira Moonwarden, and Derek Proudmoore.
These NPCs could be related to the new steps of the War Campaign or the Battle for Darkshore.
Disclaimer - this is speculation based on datamining, and may be subject to change over the course of the Patch 8.1 PTR. Possible Spoilers.
Saurfang
We last see Saurfang in a Stormwind prison cell, refusing to escape with Talanji and Zul. In the
Battle for Azeroth pre-patch
, he oversaw the assault on Night Elf territory but had a change of heart at the end, believing Sylvanas to have gone too far in burning the tree.
The new Saurfang NPC
Varok Saurcroc
does not have a "High Overlord" title, showing his disassociation with Horde leadership.
Cape usée
reads "Don a worn cloak and hood, potentially throwing assassins off of Saurfang's trail." It seems like we will be thwarting attempts on Saurfang's life.
This spell is attached to the item
Cape usée
, with the flavor text "Some revolutions begin with the smallest acts of defiance." Blizzard has said that Battle for Azeroth will not be a repeat of Mists of Pandaria and Siege of Orgrimmar, but so far there are some strong parallels between expansions.
Delaryn
Delaryn Summermoon played a large role in the
Battle for Azeroth pre-patch
, leading a heroic defense against Sylvanas and serving as the Alliance questgiver. The
novellas
and
Warbringers: Sylvanas
cinematic strongly emphasized her parallels to youthful Sylvanas in her devotion to her homeland and fighting against all odds. The story also showed Sylvanas' deepening similarities to Arthas, turning into that which she once hated.
Now, these parallels may continue due to the spell
Prévenir Nathanos
which reads "Send up a flare to signal Nathanos that you found Delaryn." What does Nathanos want with Delaryn's body? Does Sylvanas want to resurrect her? Based on the events of the Horde War Campaign, we know that the Forsaken have
already revived fallen Alliance heroes
.
Sira Moonwarden
Sira Moonwarden has a new model, one that looks corrupt with tarnished armor and red eyes.
Sira Gardelune
is now titled "Dark Warden" instead of "Warden" as in Legion. Has she also been turned by Sylvanas? Is this a dark ritual gone awry?
Another interesting detail about Sira is the change in her associated voice over lines.
Sira in Azsuna
has generic "NightElfFemale" audio files, while
8.1 Sira
has "VoidElfFemale" audio files. We're not sure if Sira has turned hostile as her associated sounds are still that of an Alliance race, although perhaps the choice of Void Elf sounds is meant to signify a shadowy infusion.
We've seen Sira previously in the Molten Front and Legion--in
Coopération avec les Gardiennes
we learn that she took over leadership of the Wardens while Maiev was imprisoned. It looks like Maiev and Sira will have some sort of clash due to the new spell
Cécité
which reads "Sira blows a handful of enchanted powder into the eyes of Maiev, blinding her for the encounter." Spells support some type of encounter like
Sira Threat 1
and
Sira's Glaive Swipe Visual
.
Leading up to Maiev's blinding, it appears Maiev fights in combat:
Fin de la souffrance
: Maiev hurls several glaives toward her guides. Any Avatars of Suffering caught in the path of these glaives are immediately dispatched.
Guide de Maiev
: Maiev will charge toward you, try to guide her attack to one of the Avatars of Suffering!
Glaive de Maiev
: Maiev charges to the target, dispatching any avatars of suffering in her path.
Avatar de la souffrance
: Sends forth an Avatar of Suffering that will periodically throw glaives at enemy players.
Glaive de gardienne
: Hurl the glaive at the target location, dispatching any Avatars of Suffering in the glaive's path.
Pourchassé
Derek Proudmoore
In the War Campaign, the
Horde retrieved the body of Derek Proudmoore
. In-game, his body resembled a human. Now in Patch 8.1, there are two new Derek NPCs--
one looks human
...but one
resembles Forsaken
.
We've also datamined the 8.1 spell
Derek Proudmoore Revived (DNT)
.
Tyrande
We know a bit more about Tyrande's Patch 8.1 story, in which she ascends into Elune's Night Warrior. After completing the
Dans l’ombre de Teldrassil
storyline, players unlock special
Night Warrior
customization options. Tyrande also receives a new model, one with more practical armor as well as dark blue eyes.
NEW
Tyrande's Ascension
NEW Stage 1:
In Teldrassil's Wake
Sail to the Ruins of Auberdine.
NEW Stage 2:
Elune's Gaze
Find the Eye of Elune in the Ruins of Auberdine.
NEW Stage 3:
Cornered!
Defeat Bilegut and escape the hall.
NEW Stage 4:
A Cry for Help
Investigate the screaming nearby.
NEW Stage 5:
No Elf Left Behind
Rescue the kaldorei prisoners in the Withering Thicket.
NEW Stage 6:
Closing In
Find Tyrande Whisperwind in Bashal'Aran.
NEW Stage 7:
Zenith
Guard Tyrande while she completes the Ritual of the Night Warrior.
NEW Stage 8:
The Night Warrior
Witness Tyrande's ascension into the Night Warrior.
NEW Stage 9:
Nowhere to Run
Hunt down Nathanos Blightcaller.
NEW Stage 10:
Nowhere to Hide
Find Nathanos Blightcaller nearby.
NEW Stage 11:
The Queen's Pawn
Intervene before Nathanos raises the fallen as forsaken.
NEW Stage 12:
Eyes of the Forest
Return to the fleet and scout the Horde army.
Based on the scenario, it looks like Tyrande intervenes in Nathanos' plans to raise fallen Night Elves--perhaps even Delaryn or other Wardens?
Looking at the uncategorized spells further, there appear to be two Real Time Cinematics (RTC) -
Play RTC: Tyrande's Darkening
and
Play RTC: Tyrande's Denial
, as well as a "Black Moon Rising" event (
8.1 Darkshore - Tyrande - H - "Black Moon Rising" - Lieutenant 3 - Ping for Last Question
) and modified environment (
Night Warrior Skybox
).
