[@archdruidbookwalter951]

The concept of shadow priest players has always amused me. The void gave you this power in the hopes it would corrupt you and drive you insane, but instead, you use it to save the world.

[@knightaaron7]

Nice

[@archdruidbookwalter951]

​@La Nausée I don't think we've never directly caused an expansion. Usually it's loose ends from us fixing one problem going and starting another, like a murder witness calling the police. Garrosh Hellscream escaping his trial in Pandaria and fleeing to AU Draenor led to Archimonde yeeting AU Gul'dan to Azeroth to herald the next demon invasion (which is why Anduin says that Wrathion is responsible for Varian's death in the 8.3 introduction cinematic btw), which led to Sargeras stabbing the planet and revealing azerite, starting the Fourth War, which led to Sylvanas being kicked out of office for using the Horde to feed souls to the Maw, leading to her opening a portal to the Shadowlands. Sylvanas and Garrosh were faction leaders, but they were both removed from power prior to them starting the next expansion. And the players have _never_ started an expansion, period. It would be cool if we did start one though, everything is nice and tied up properly for once, and then we go and accidentally wake up mecha-N'zoth or something.

[@DJstarrfish]

@@archdruidbookwalter951 Canonically, the Void isn't inherently "evil" and the writers have explicitly stated as much. It's no different from how the Light isn't inherently "good" (e.g. Scarlet Crusade, Lightbound on alternate Draenor, that one long ass questline in Legion involving Illidan and the Naaru)

[@braules]

There's also a rumour that Silas Darkmoon is thousands of years old

[@neasper]

Well the evidence is There because in the faire There are gosts that say things that existet a long time ago like that one lives once in Strom thans now known as Stromgard and was picked up by Silas so the possibility is there

World of Warcraft: Darkmoon Rising It takes place on the actual moon where the fair exists. A moon that just so happens to house an incubating void lord. As a failsafe to their infecting titan world souls plan they decided to grow one of their own!!

[@Awesomeryay]

Hey guess what? They did that in hearthstone

[@Jakiladd]

Is the Azshara warbringer video, nzoth said "Deals?... I like deals..." and Silas explicitly said he made a deal.

[@SalariaStudios]

The main character of this story gnome. Is wows terrible old man. He has dark intentions hidden behind a most unnatural smile. I would not be entirely surprised if gnome was not the actual old God. However surprisingly enough there is not alot of data but it is empty and head nodding enough to delve into. There is a BBC doctor who episode called the Dark Circus. Which is a H.P lovecraft inspired scene where they go to this dark dimension where 3 old gods feed off the suffering of others. But in wows universe it's set up the same way however it's just the pure entertainment that feeds what ever is on looking. It doesnt have to be oldgod it could be a void lord or prince who has lent them this power

[@MrSindreFL]

I was actually thinking about this yesterday when I was visiting the Darkmoon Faire and saw the C'Thun-looking eye at the entry gate, haha.

[@dededesgustingtkemylife4825]

Sad that Yogg'saron is just obese blob fish in platinum's videos, lol. He was such a badass, giving spoilers to players, makes keepers almost pissed on their pants, debt trap economy strategy the lich king, by manufacturing saronite in return, lich king himself was become his actor, and he mostly playing with dreams, instead of illusion like n'zoth, or emotion like those emo Y'shaarj. Dream makes future!

[@Plazma896]

I've had this suspicion for a while but the comparison of y'sharaj and the faire banner is all the proof I need. That's ridiculously similar, to the point of being blatant.

[@raornelas]

Omg there's a new official artwork for a new Hearthstone expansion and it's Y'Shaarj on top of Darkmoon Faire!!

[@kulrigalestout]

I like how the sign got more corrupted and vandalized as the video went on XD Ya know what though, it could be that Y'shaarj decided that it would be pretty neat to have a faire full of fun and games and whatnot in the same way we like having aquariums full of pretty rocks and miniature castles. It's a place where we can watch lesser creatures with lesser worries go about their lesser lives barely aware of our presence despite being hundreds of times their size and making a lot of racket, and just be amazed at their simplicity and lack of cognizance. It's calming, relaxing, and in no way means we're not preheating the oven to prepare a fish stick buffet for some guests we're having over later. We're just not going to eat our own fish, because that would be weird. And hey, if the fish like hanging out in the castles, it makes them look a little cuter.

[@adirosstime1774]

The reason C'thun never escaped after the sargeras sword shank. Is cause that dark moon fair gnome kidnapped and enslaved him during the cataclysem, the island is C'thun.

[@Oaglor]

After reading about the Sceptor of Sargeras and how its design was based on the World Soul's eye, I wondered if the Darkmoon Fair eyes or even the Dungeon Finder eye may end up being based on Azeroth herself (like the Order of the Silver Hand apparently being based on the silver hand cursor).

[@JH-so9tk]

A lot of great observations! I was hoping the darkmoon faire's hidden Cavern of Lament with the clones for the Ring of Broken Promises tied into all of this somehow, still don't know what that was all about!

[@Ellthom]

Very good video I especially agree with the conclusion. A lot of WoWs mystery is being lost which is why we should keep some of it 😀

[@Moxypony]

Hol' up, hol' up, how you seriously gonna get the Legends story THAT wrong??? Kerri is framed for the murder by the victim's brother, the Faire people investigate, but when the townsfolk refuse to listen they break her out of prison, but it winds up being unnecessary because a witness comes forward to admit that he saw the guy murder him. The murderer is powerful, and likely to get away with his crime, so the Fairefolk kidnap him and buried him alive next to the corpse of his own brother who he had murdered.

I was curious in TBC when the DMF appeared outside Shatt. Before they were a simple travelling carnival that took a month to go from one continent to the other, but here they were on another planet.

I've fought the Rabbit, also have Fought the Wolf. I have the pets from both. Darkmoon Tonk and Blimp are awesome, too. My blimp is called "Hidenboom" (it has a self destruct skill for pet battles) PS: the faire is the only place you can get the crow pets as well (I think) you can get some top quality ones here at the very least. EDIT: forgot about the squid and the eye as well. I also have those. TBH I think I probably have all the Darkmoon Faire pets on my account. I went through a stage of doing Pet battles, so collected tons of them. I did sell a bunch to buy all the Heirlooms and the Chopper though.

Silas has definitly made a contract with "something", not just for obtaining the island, but also to be potentionally immortal. There is an NPC at the fair, claiming to be picked up by Silas as a young boy... when he lived in the old kingdom of Storm, which would date back to the Troll Wars and thats roughly ~2000 years in the past. Gnomes don't get that old. Not to mention that this human man is also still around and something must have happened to him, while being in Silas company. Maybe Silas isn't even a Gnome? Gnomes weren't really traveling around the globe during the time mentioned by the NPC or this is further evidence that Silas has been involved with something supernatural.
