    "Therck" seems like a corruption of "Theorick". Can we get this mentioned next Blizzard fest? It would add a surprise bit of cohesion and realism to Wynn. Kids are often named after legendary figures - look how many common English names are Biblical - and if Therck was named for Theorick (with a name slightly warped by several hundred years' passing) it would be fun worldbuilding that makes the setting a little more real, while also being a completely unobtrusive detail that can't possibly ruin anything.
     
    Rythew, Elytry and DrGREEN like this.

    You idiot that would spoil the plot twist of the 35th story quest in the Wastelands v3 update, where it is revealed that the 91st sovereign IS therck, who IS ALSO a reborn version of Theorick

    no because in wynncraft, naming your kid after theorick would be like naming your kid after Mussolini or some shit. theorick is not viewed positively

    That's true, I didn't think of that. He's the Bad Twain.

    What if... Therck and Enzan's parents inexplicably thought he was a good guy (cult? quirk?). Or the name was passed down from a time or place where Theorick wasn't viewed negatively?

    Therck and Enzan are time-travellers from when Telvu has already informed the entirety of Wynn that despite being a generally problematic man, freezing Nesaak was the right(?) thing to do.
