But in Forever and the "true" canon timeline (with which NHSYS will eventually

Main timeline (NHSYS verse, also not canon) Sam was raised by his mother, Anne. Originally a laundry maid to a noble family in Lordaeron, she was seduced by the family's son who abandoned her when he discovered she was pregnant and cast her out of the household--against his father's wishes.

Peter kills Anne early on and then, as in NHSYS, helps betray his city to the Scourge. Claiming to know safe paths out of the city, he charges the common people to lead them to safety, only to lead them straight to the invading undead--using them as bait so his wealthy peers might escape.

the Scourge at the gates of the city.

In NHSYS as it stands, only Peter was raised as a Forsaken, but he never was truly mentally "free" in the way some of the others were. Instead, his blind loyalty merely transferred to Sylvanas. A true fanatic, he believed himself to be one of the few who

priest of the Church of the Holy Light in Lordaeron, his mother a paladin of the same.

With the opportunity to study as he pleased, Sam learned to direct the same will which makes his NHSYS version so successful as a paladin towards the goal he'd longed for but was never able to achieve in that TL:

He's a former magister--in NHSYS, he stayed behind when Kael'thas went to Outland, as he had a key part in working on the binding magicks for M'uru, and married one of the priests responsible for maintaining the bindings (Telabis, trans male, now a void elf); their daughter, paladin Valynnia, works

Made Heph as a belf DH, and gave him a silly name because I thought he was going to be a temporary character for Lemix.

I was wrong. He now has a lore document, connections to the NHSYS verse, and a sufficiently-edgy backstory complete with emotional trauma surrounding his decision to become a DH.

And yes, the fact that Vok'ta is Drakkari is important: NHSYS as a whole is about the impact of the war in Northrend and the ways what happened there changes Azeroth through the lives of individual people.

There is no Hero of Azeroth, but there are a whole lot of everyday heroes, and that's what

Might I end up posting a NHSYS side story before any of NHSYS itself?
