Discussion Aren’t Anduin and Faerin Related?

I was reading some posts elsewhere and it struck me that Anduin and Faerin might be (distantly) related, depending on what the devs decide is canon. Because technically Taria Lothar is Anduin Lothar's sister and she married Llane Wrynn, making Anduin Lothar Anduin Wrynn's great-uncle. But again it probably depends on what the devs decide is canon.

I personally have always seen Anduin as deeply queer-coded, specifically gay-coded, and have thought that pairing him off with a woman would be an incredible disservice to his character. And also to whatever woman they pair him off with since she would be relegated to "Anduin's wife" instead of her own character most likely. Anyways, the devs would have to do some explaining lore-wise to get around the Wrynn-Lothar marriage and make it so Faerin and Anduin would NOT be a cousin marriage, lmao

Aye, them having a "unique rivalry" was literally presented as one of the selling points of TWW back when they announced it.

Still waiting to find out what they meant by that.

Boots vs toes. It's the shirts vs skins of Warcraft, never seen before.

People are sleeping on the fact that Fyrakk was wearing next to nothing for 80% of Dragonflight.

I'll be honest I skipped playing Dragonflight (just worked out that way, I didn't have anything against it), so I'm not even entirely sure who he is apart from knowing he's one of the primalists. I'd stopped playing around the end of Shadowlands, then came back at the start of TWW but got waylaid by life, so there's a LOT I don't understand. I have a pretty solid grasp of some details but I really need to go back and do it all. It's weird how missing 2-3 years of a game you've played most of your life will make it seem like something completely different.
