We found Mankrik's wife dead next to a hut in the Barrens just off the gold road
So when it comes to Blizzard store telling everybody criticized how WOD ended and how everybody was Buddy Buddy even though the horde had slaughtered the draenei. Well after the Allied race quest we find out the draenei got their revenge
The Ethereals come from somewhere, like currently besides outland. Mainly due to their reemergence in legion with updated models included. So an expansion based on their past and current activity is coming due. Just another race shrouded in a bit of mystery that needs to come to light soon, whether it be their homeworld or a planet they have taken refuge on.
LxB, you are doing fine work my dude. The editing is getting smoother every single day, keep it up bud.
"Ny'alotha is just another name for the Maw." I swear I can hear Steve Danuser scream "How the fuck?!"
I agree you can't just drop a lore bomb with arthas like that and not have him involved in some way. Just my hope is after we defeat the jailer we find out there has to be someone there to care for the dead. I think that arthas will step up and fill the role. After all the jailer was the original litch king and there must always be a litch king.
Grats on making partner
So excited for Shadowlands
Hey Accolonn.. been listening to your stuff for the past few months.. awesome content , congrats on Twitch partner.
Just spitballing here, what if the fate of the First Ones is expicitly tied to the betrayal of/by Zovaal.
What if he received the first ever lot of anima from a dead First One.. and he decided that no mere weapon or armour would suffice to store that soul.. but a tower, a monument to the glory of that soul.
Torghast.
And in starting to build the tower, Zovaal found he needed more of the First One's anima, and made deals have them die to finish his Great Work.
Setting a soul in stone might have been unheard of enough and trapped the anima in such a way that all the others considered it a great evil.
Zovaal would merely see it as doing his task, creating things from the anima of the dead.
I think the next expansion will be a revamped Azeroth. I think Blizzard has been circling back to its previous expansions. Warlords of Draenor was the expansion to make us relive what warcraft was. I think WoD is a related to Classic. Then Legion came and finished the story of The Burning Crusade. BFA is more or less the same as Mists of Pandaria. It started with a faction war then ended with an old god. The only old expansion left untouched us Cataclysm. The next expansion would most likely be related or the same to Cataclysm if the pattern holds. The players would have been gone for quite a while when they get back to Azeroth as time works differently in the shadowlands. As you said, Nzoth only showed us a vision of him being defeated so he could gather his strength and rebuild his empire. And who were the ones in Azeroth that worshiped the old gods, possibly Nzoth, during Cataclysm? The Twilight Cultists. Azeroth hasn't been massively changed in the last several expansions. The new continents haven't even be changed yet. It's Blizzards chance to show off some new tech, new graphics and a new leveling area with new quests. It would talk about the void and the light since the expansion would be old god related. That could also continue Queen Azshara's storyline. By the time we come back, Nzoth could have revived or started to revive his brothers and we will be facing multiple old gods or possibly a void lord by the end of the expansion. We could be what K'aresh could have been if it had the fighting force that we have. After the expansions related to the first 4 ones are done, Blizzard could move on to other storylines like the cosmic struggle or something that will be introduced in Shadowlands. I think this is worthy of speculating.
Shouldn't they have chosen Broxigar? For Maldraxus?
I believed ur theory since the beginning based on the visualisation
the only good shadowlands short was bastion and the draka one was complete garbage.
We don't know yet what the story reserves for Draka, so she may not be a "bad choice" after all. I think we will be surprised.
I think that those shells on the the map are some kind of shields protecting the limitations for the titans, mortals and the other forces. Maybe those four shells are also some gates that cannot be unlocked by us. If we want to know about those shells, the answer is the Natrazim and maybe the Jailor.
What we think about arthas is clear everyone know that , he's evil we don't want help him at all , he killed millions souls and he's father so let's kill him , blizzard know that arthas is evil , so no redemption for arthas
The 1st ones not existing anymore is very valid
Oh please, all these artistic critiques of your intro are so TIREED. I love it and you should keep it!
Just imagine if they had used Varian for the Maldraxxas trailer…. π
I know you don't make videos to say you're right, but you were definitely right.
The shells mean that murlocs are the clock makers. Lol
Absolutely agree we never went to Nyalotha, just as we've never really "killed" any of the Old Gods. Dunno about the Maw part, though…that sounds like a stretch.
11:21 That statement made me think of the Drust in Ardenweald. Why are they doing what they're doing, what's their end game?
Convinced he is right, even though that isn't what he said.
As long as this expac ends with Sylvanas and all her fluky emo followers being smashed under my mighty hammer of light…Iβm happy. Sylvanas emo kids tears taste so sweet….;)
I don't understand English well, so I use a translation program, sorry about that. I have not watched all your videos and I do not know if you described this theory in this form, so just in case I will write, because if you look from this point of view, then everything converges.
Elune was the one who created the Shadowlands, or at least one of those who did it. This is why Sylvanas' target was the Night Elf tree – a declaration of war for Elune (as the representative of the jailer's enslavers).
After that, Elune gives Tyrande her power – so that she would punish (Sylvanas) (the executor) the jailer's servant – the one she had previously imprisoned. As a warning – that he would know his place and not stick out.
Do you think Anduin will look like how he is in the legion comic?

Dude now the 10hr remix
The problem I have with WOW is that Blizzard sometimes throw characters and random events into the game expansions such as Warlords of Draenor (completely unnecessary) and misusing a great character like Kel'thuzad. I wish Blizzard implements and changes the WOW story to not make the game only just about war but also about family, union, helping players' characters to help their people more. Also, we should at least sympathize with the cosmic forces as well. The cosmic forces, unlike mortals, don't know what it is like to have a family and express empathy for others. They were created to be logical and to do their jobs without failure. This is why WOW needs to show cosmic forces, maybe a rogue Naaru, to be included as main characters for WOW so we can see the character development of them becoming more mortal in behavior. Also, Blizzard should have Alleria to connect with the void entity that is giving her tormenting voices and try to communicate with it instead of ignoring it.
The theory about the first ones being gone is very much a Halo style approach with the Forerunners. Could be interesting.
I am actually glad they went with Draka, more female orc representation is always welcome!
