Aggrend says the Scarlet Enclave will return

The Scarlet Enclave is coming to World of Warcraft: Forever. Aggrend says it plainly in episode 7 of the podcast: the last raid of Season of Discovery will return, and so will the story of the Ashbringer. When, he does not say.

What Aggrend says

Asked which characters he looks forward to most, Aggrend names Vol’jin first, then the Ashbringer:

Scarlet Enclave will return. Ashbringer will return at some point. You know, it might be a while, but that’s going to come back.

Earlier this week the developers were still more careful: in an interview they spoke of when, not if, and said the raid went too far in difficulty in Season of Discovery. Now it is a promise, without a date.

The raid in Season of Discovery

The Scarlet Enclave was the farewell raid of Season of Discovery, with the dreadlord Balnazzar and new Scarlet Crusade characters such as Caldoran and Beatrix. The Ashbringer quest line around it was about Mograine and his choice between compassion and vengeance. It does not fit later World of Warcraft stories one to one, says Aggrend, one of the reasons Forever got its own story.

First the other raids

Forever opens with three raids on 9 December. After that, Molten Core, Blackwing Lair and Ahn’Qiraj are the anchor points of the story. Where the Scarlet Enclave fits in between is not known yet.
