[ Wrathion tilts his head, considering that, then picks up the pot and begins pouring out some tea. ]

The Beastmaster didn't want his son to be sacrificed, but the Huntress took him anyway. She wanted her child to have survived, but she never believed what she did was wrong. Raised in a cult, you understand. She simply could not believe there was any other way.

I never spoke with the Beastmaster myself. What little communication we had was unpleasant for me.

[ It simply would not have been safe, for him or anyone else, for him to risk what might have happened had the Beastmaster taken control of him.

Not that he's going to say that, as that would lead to questions he's not ready to answer. Still, he sets down the teapot and slides one cup closer to himself. ]


It's possible, if we'd had enough information early on, that he might have worked with us. Things were complicated by history. A city we were in before we ever reached their home village was attacked by both the Huntress and the Beastmaster. At the time, we had no context for either character. All we knew was they surged through the city. The Beastmaster's creatures attached themselves to people and took control of them. The Huntress made people relive their horrors. Not things that make you sympathetic to a person, I'm sure you'd agree.
