Aestu returns to her home town of Shattrath, and passes her time cooking, gardening, writing to the editor of local periodicals, attending services at the Aldori temple, and staying in touch with her Scryer friends - after all, her heroism was recognized by all the citizens of the city. squidgoat live a long time, and they do not suffer from old age. Aestu maintained an active life in every sense, occasionally mentoring new paladins of all races - her counsel was sought by the novices of Azeroth as well - but she never again left the quiet of the city or raised her sword.
Zeida the dwarf priest gets a job as an accountant at a supply store in Ironforge, less out of a need for money and more to assuage her worrisome and compulsive nature. She becomes both more cantankerous and more warm-hearted in her old age, and gives young children cookies, milk, and sharp words.
Iostu the squidgoat deathknight: With her revenge against the Lich King complete, and finding neither joy nor purpose in her undeath, she is last seen wandering into the Coldarra wilds. Some say she was accepted by the Blue Dragonflight. Others say she commited suicide by exposure. But mostly, she was simply forgotten.
Mieto the squidgoat shaman, younger and more dynamic than the others, moves on with her frenzied life, becoming a dancer and playwright with a highly active love life. She also gets involved in the futures market, particularly firefin snapper, lightning eel, thorium and sandstone, as well as real estate on both worlds. A few decades later she is indicted for tax evasion, slave trading, and bloodthistle dealing (no one except her knows the truth of the matter), and goes underground. Although never again seen in public, rumors of her innocence and guilt, and of her continued dealings, romantic, financial, and otherwise, persist.
Farbe the gnome warlock becomes increasingly eccentric and debased. She takes up residence in the tower on Purgation Isle and taps the energies of the place to lure, bewitch and enslave handsome young men. After several hundred years, she is strangled to death by a mob, her corpse mutilated and dismembered.
Xuria, Aestu's transporter duplicate, suffers an existential crisis, paranoid schizophrenia, and finally perishes in a hail of bullets two years later.
Jinke, Aestu's night elf warrior "retainer", long bitter at her status, takes night (er, day) classes, and becomes a partner at a prominent law firm. Harboring a grudge towards her former master, she sells her collections of books, scarabs, and assorted curios to a vendor for coppers per gold. Aestu learns of this, and mails the night elf a half-eaten chocolate chip cookie.
Aestu of Bleeding Hollow... Nihilism is a copout.
