Beledar CONFIRMED To Be Azeroth Itself But Also A Naaru! What?!

[@Doronsmovies]

Can anyone explain why calcified world soul essence has all the Naaru runes on it and is fully light based?

i'd go out on a limb and say that the light is using the essence of azeroth to create the naaru. each force in the lore (order, chaos, light, void, nature, death) seem to all want azaroth for different reasons. order want it to become a great titan as an example.. maybe naaru are born from crystalized essence of world souls.. kinda draining the life away to create the crystalized beings (i.e. maybe beledar is a naaru egg formed from the essence of azeroth). it would explain why it appears naaru but is also said to be crystalized essence.

[@timstraarupnielsen7770]

What if Azeroth is actually the center of Creation. Maybe she is the 7th unknown cosmological force: Creation, and thus some of her essence crystallized into what might create the Naaru. Maybe some of her essence is also creating other forces of the cosmos. It would make sense for all of the other cosmological forces to try to get their hands on her, so they can turn the entirety of Creation into their own image through her power.

[@Nervx1]

Maybe Beledar is converted by naaru. That would leave room for Azeroth to not beeing purely light.

[@ben9441]

Could it be some kind of light corruption method? Lile how void lords sent old gods to corrupt azeroth, the light fired the crystals trying to penetrate to the core to inject light energy? A bunch of crystals all over the planets crust may suggest multiple attempts as they were trying to find the thinnest point of the crust to penetrate all the way down?

[@jessewilson6404]

The crystal is just a seed. And depending on what kind of power it gets changes what it becomes

[@cakelolcake]

mhh My specuulation is, that every of the 6 aspects, death, living, light, void, order and disorder has one of those crystals. Because everyone wants Azeroth to get to their side, so maybe Azeroth will not turn in any of those but be an Avatar of all 6 traits, so to say she will be a beakon of light, void, order, disorder, life and death and be the peacebrinnger of all 6.

[@darcraven01]

nah, crystals are kind of a light thing (and void by proxy of corrupting light's crystals). life has world trees, order has titans, void has old gods.. im not sure if we know what death's "thing" is.. as for chaos.. well, right now its got a giant sword. dont think thats normally what it'd use but hey, its there..

[@ZulatobariGreatforge]

I'd go further and say that if a World Soul can become anything if guided that way, such as Order to become a Titan, that any World Soul, and the Prime World Soul in particular, has all 6 cosmic forces present in its soul. Thus, it may not even be the Light itself trying its hand at Azeroth, it could simply be Azeroth's 'defensive mechanism' to the Old Gods attempt to force themselves to her heart, before the Titans showed up. Let the Titans succeed since they were trying not to hurt her, trying to heal her and learn about her, Old Gods? They were outright trying to torment her!

They are trying to “forget about” the cosmic chart, the devs and metzen don’t like it and for the last 2 expansions they’ve been trying to widdle it down to “it’s what characters actually in the world are speculating with no evidence to support them, like an azerothian conspiracy theory”

[@Lun4tyk]

I suspect that the Haranir may know much more. They haven't said anything at all at the moment. But if they are indeed guarding the remains of the roots of the first World Tree, then they certainly know something about Beledar and what he really is. The history of their race must go back much further than the history of the Elves or Trolls that we know. Thousands of years before the first war with the Legion. Who knows, maybe they are even older than the dragons from the War of the Scaleborn. I also wonder if we will find the Isle of the Titans according to the 4th book of Hallowfall. Maybe there is another Titan outpost there that we don't know about, containing answers to many questions so far.

[@tardif66]

What if the reason the Naaru crystals are light aligned rather than elemental is because the crystals/Naaru are like Antibodies created by the world soul to fight off the void corruption

[@aric8027]

I gotta disagree on some of this as being 'fact'. I don't think the coreway was created by the ripping out of elun'ahir. In the newest bit - they show a drill that was clearly responsible for digging the coreway. I think the better assumption would be that elun'ahir was ripped out where Beledar is located. It's a massive wound above and below the surface - and also above Hallowfall (which has an ocean created by Eonar's tears). Also why would they have the idea to dig out the coreway to monitor the world sould, if the hole already existed from elun'ahir being ripped out. They wouldn't need a drill, they would just need to build uniform walls / stairs in the existing hole.

[@titaniumaura]

Peace on Azeroth.

[@Maxon214]

Naaru being Void Gods that lost their way. It possible that is either a lie or not the full truth. Would not be the first time someone said something that turned to to be just their own bias opinion or view point.

[@darcraven01]

im pretty sure that "lost their way" is just a matter of perspective. the void seems them as lost but the light would view the void as lost.. (and chaos would likely call them both nut jobs but hey, whatevers.. lol)

[@Uouttooo]

I don't know why Azeroth went around pooping everywhere. Why would she/it/he put dropping everywhere? So all the crystals will eventually come together to form a planet sized wind chime, I meant, a giant Naaru?

[@Godwin420]

To even suggest that Azeroth is a Naaru is surprisingly even more of a far-fetched, nonsensical take than Pyro's wildest speculation. Breathe, Doron and get some water - you may be dehydrated and suffering hallucinations.

[@Godwin420]

@@Doronsmovies That is another thing entirely and has its own thousand or so possibilities as to why, but it doesn't make including Azeroth as one.

[@Devildoginvu]

[@Donnirononon]

Kinda boring explaination tbh compared to the theories i seen. Why should Azeroth / Reality birth a light Naaru while being controlled by order Titans? Also why it looks just perfectly manufactured and like it crashed into the ceiling, like there are obvious cracks there and it is more out than in.

[@sadmiqoxiv]

From where the cracks are, it looks more like beledar was lodged into the roof from below. Was it dislodged from the world soul and thrown out? Light rejected by azeroth.

[@lichslayer0045]

Think of it this way if the Primal World Soul fell to Corruption of the most unpleasant cosmological forces like the Void and others the Damges to the Cosmos would be apocalyptic. The balance would be Undone. So naturally, a Fail safe would be needed in case the World Soul Fell and the question is should the lives of the few outlive the lives of the many. For better or worse the Titans are not the worst aspects of the Cosmos as other Forces like Void Fel take on far more active and Destructive Actions.

[@mw2984]

every force in itself is apocalyptic. Every force main goal is to wipe out the other forces. Thats why in the end the only logical solution is the balance of all of them. Thats why the story is not really interesting or good tought of (btw it never really was)

[@galten7361]

@@mw2984 Well yeah, since the devs think stuff like New Star Wars or the MCU or Harry Potter or BBC Sherlock or twitter/tumblr/reddit weeb stuff or whatever Rooster Teeth is doing or whatever else twitter/tumblr/reddit is into is the peak of stories.

[@0megacron]

Azerite isn't the essence of Azeroth... it's her blood.

[@qlasalle]

That's kinda the same thing when used under certain context

[@Uouttooo]

Naarus do not have blood. They are just floating pieces of light/crystal?

[@Corwin19]

Speculations time! There are several possibilities that come to mind. It could be an explanation of how naaru are born; from the calcified essence of world souls. But were these crystals produced by Azeroth, or from an outside force? It’s possible that these crystals were planted into Azeroth from the outside by other naaru or light aligned beings. The theory that the light is trying to convert Azeroth too, and that it is through these crystals, is the most prevalent that I have seen. Im not convinced though. Another possibility is that they were produced during the time of the Black Empire. It’s possible that the Empire was breeding dark naaru through these crystals. This is probably the more far fetched possibility, but there is still so much we don’t know about the connections between light and shadow. That, and Xalatath seemed far more knowledgeable about Beledar than anyone else in tww so far. I guess we won’t know more until we get more discs or I until the next path haha. This calcified world soul essence angle really threw me off, but it’s an interesting development that I look forward to seeing where they take it.

[@ksoltar]

it looks more like sagaras told azoroth "just the tip i promise"

[@TheSyncos]

"Why does beledar look so much like a naaru" It doesn't. In fact I would argue that with the exception of it emitting light, it does not share much in common with the Naaru at all. It's a giant 3d crystal instead of a floating flat origami thing. It's patterning looks like repeating geometric patterns more than single runes... You compare them to azerite, but that's more like Azeroth's blood, not shards of her soul. The real question is whether or not those shards are still intact and connected to Azeroth, or if they're more like children, which will gain their own sentience...

[@GeekyNerdThao93]

Since Azeroth is a blank page getting pulled a dozen ways by different forces, it could be beledar is part of the Light's technology. Maybe some kind of world converting engine type thing, where they shot deep into Azeroth. Cause when you think about it, the Light is a big player but dont exactly have their own lieutenants like how Void has old gods and Order has titans.

[@0megacron]

It would be more accurate to say that the Void Lords are "lieutenants" of the Void, in which case the Naaru would fulfill that same role for the Light. The Old Gods weren't so much lieutenants as they were tools. The Void Lords seeded them throughout the universe to find & corrupt potential world souls. As powerful as they are/were, when compared to the Void Lords that sent 'em, the Old Gods are more like the dogs a hunter sends into the bushes to flush out the quail.

[@GeekyNerdThao93]

@@0megacron that makes sense, but I just can't see the naarus in the same ranking as they get no diffed all the time whereas we've yet to see a void lord, but it's assumed they gotta be way strong since their pets already require so much effort.

[@Kubapajonczek]

@@0megacron Naaru are actually the ones that are equivalent of Old Gods, since Void Lords are the "pantheon" of Void, while we know nothing of Pantheon of Light except that it's a thing, and given how many Naaru are there and how they aren't as powerful as deities of pantheons but more on the level of Angels, it's safe to assume they are the Holy Light's counterpart to Old Gods

Haranir cross between Trolls and Night Elves (Where are the naughty buggers) or Night Elves De-evolving back towards their Troll beginings? Are they the only Races that seem to be moving backwards in evolutionary progression (natural or forced) What's with that funky Darwinian walking fish?

If the void and the titans have both tried to convert the world soul not to mention the legion oh and death… it makes logical sense the light may have done the same as well could beledar be a relic of that attempt?

So the question to ask is this: was sargeras stopping the titans from dominating the universe when he tried to kill azeroth? What will illidan do when he finds out the truth? Will he continue to serve as a jailer, or will he set sargeras free as he is able to see that his actions were for the greater good just like illidans?
