Therefore, it's not unreasonably to presume that the Tauren who doesn't wish to ascend to become a blue human wouldn't go to Bastion in the first place, and might have been sent somewhere else if they were judged more appropriate to their beliefs. From what we've been told, the zones we're exploring are just a few of the prominent areas, though the possibility exists that there could be more for different races or beliefs, not to mention all the varied forces which control life and death such as Odyn, Heyla, the Elemental Planes, the Twisting Nether, and so on. Uther goes to Bastion, Kael'thas is sent to Revendreth to condone for his crimes, Kel'thuzzad shows up in Maldraxxas, Ysera is presumably involved with Ardenweald, and the Maw nearly claimed Sylvanas. Unlike Skyhold and most depictions of the afterlife, Shadowlands is somewhat unique in that it ties together several different incarnations of heaven, hell, and everything in between. Bastion would seem to revisit these questions. While the idea was ultimately scrapped, it raised a lot of questions as to why Orcs from Draenor would make their way to the Skyhold, and whether other races who weren't native to Azeroth or didn't necessarily believe in anything to do with the Vrykul would still go there. One of the early concepts for Skyhold in Legion was an afterlife for all Warriors rather than just Vrykul, with datamining indicating that we would see famous characters such as Lothar and Doomhammer within (likely leading to a hilariously tense situation, as Doomhammer killed Lothar in battle during the Second War). This is a very good question, and something that has come up before.

Why help a cool Tauren become a blue human? Isn’t that a betrayal of his fundamental nature? One quest has the player help a Tauren pass their trials once he does, the Tauren transforms into a Kyrian himself.
