New short story 'Unbowed' follows a Forsaken ex-crusader

Blizzard released a new WoW: Forever short story called “Unbowed,” presented as a narrated fireside telling with illustrations. It follows Cormack, a former Scarlet Crusader who was raised as Forsaken and struggles to accept his undead existence.

The story has Cormack confront both his past as a crusader and the beliefs that once defined him, leaving him to ask whether a Forsaken can still serve the Light. It’s written by Sean Copeland, illustrated by Surfside 3D, and narrated by Jesse Burch as Cormack. A downloadable PDF of the story is also available.

Why it matters: it’s a direct link between Forever’s Forsaken and the Scarlet Crusade, and a sign Blizzard is building out character-level lore alongside the zones and systems work.
