Why did Anduin blame Wrathion?
Anduin blamed Wrathion for the death of his father, Varian Wrynn, as he believed that Wrathion’s actions led to a chain of events that ultimately resulted in Varian’s demise, specifically Wrathion’s role in freeing Garrosh Hellscream and setting in motion the events of Warlords of Draenor and Legion. This blame stems from Anduin’s understanding that if Wrathion had not freed Garrosh, there would have been no Iron Horde to fight, and consequently, Gul’dan would not have been able to summon the Legion, leading to Varian’s death on the Broken Shore.
