I loved it. I loved being about to see the conflict between her and her mother, to see more into her tribe and feel why she holds so strongly to her convictions about the Freljord, and the apparent bond she shared with Maalcrom. I felt attached to the story somehow, and look forward to it continuing.
This might’ve been lore I missed elsewhere, but what exactly are the Hearthbound? Is it just the bame for a specific class of people in the Freljord? Does it have some connection to Ornn’s former people, the Hearthblood?
Side note: Young blond Ashe is adorable, and, as another said elsewhere, would love to see that be a skin for her in the future.
