[That begs the question "why HIM", but Varian doesn't voice it. In comparison to royalty or anyone else someone might want to kidnap for whatever reason, he's not much more than a peasant.]

That would mean well over a dozen kingdoms struck...which is a lot, even for a planned effort. I mean, it makes sense if this is some sort of magic at work, but...I don't know.

Something about all of this doesn't feel like a normal kidnapping.
