He saw the MK3 rules for Cryx and scooped the hell out.

Sword is definitely Voass. I mean it could be some random elf using the sword but that would just be disappointing. The picture does look like a de-Eldritched Goreshade. This is cause for excitement.

Here's hoping, not to mention we have our short story in the No Quarter called Reborn....

There's a lot to suggest it's goreshade. Definitely his style of hair. Medium-length, black, same bangs. The sword looks a lot like Voass and definitely has Nyss markings on it. It even looks like he has sections coming out the back of his armor, not unlike Cryx goreshade has had on all his incarnations. Also, his armor looks to be in the Vyre style, with all the little circles in lines.
Lots of reasons to think it's Goreshade, especially since there's a hint of some Ret fluff in the next NQ called 'Rebirth' (or reborn, or something to that effect).
I'm curious of the lore implications, though. Goreshade isn't just some random Iosan who left to join cryx. He stirred a civil war and nearly doomed his house beforehand. Most Iosans should vehemently hate him, and unless he's been given some kind of great divine insight, his whole plan was to kill their gods.
If it really is Goreshade, I'd be wondering what could possibly happen that would turn that around for him. Maybe he somehow saves Scyrah, becomes redeemed, and she revives him? I don't think anything short of literal divine intervention could make him buddy-buddy with Ios again.

Well according to some 2nd hand info from Smogcon, the NQ story is supposed to be written from Scyrah's point of view. So IF it is Goreshade, then chances are he would have the actual blessings of the gods to back up his claim that he is worth having around.

That sounds like divine intervention to me!

Yeah, was at SmogCon and the talk was of a Scyrah POV story....I suspect Shade goes to kill her and she hits him with full divine glory, showing the true path je is on and pow! Reborn....
Mind you I hope there's some repercussions with Vyros....

So there's a NQ story called "Reborn" and it's not about Mordikaar?

Thus could be really interesting, with some of the leadership like Ravyn and maybe Kaelyssa being on board and understanding that this is the will of Scyrah, but others like Vyros and Rahn being very against it.

It would be really cool from a fluff standpoint but with ret being already one of the smallest factions removing almost a third of our models would be a hard burden to bear. Though I could see something like Veteran Leader: Vyre

Dammit, i just sold all my Ret. If i'd known that there was a hope of Shade3 being a Ret caster, i may have not done that.
