[@madsword19]

I find it interesting that Thrall, Anduin and Alleria are the focus of TWW. The Corrupted Visions of Stormwind and Orgrimmar (from bfa) showed both Thrall and Alleria corrupted, and whatever happened to Stormwind Keep (and probably Anduin) was so bad even Wrathion didn't want to go look.

[@tiredtobias]

Wait I didn't even think of this 👀

[@artstrutzenberg7197]

Sort of wonder if "the war within"...might also allude to Azeroth (or Xal'atath) doing to Alleria (where it disrupts the means she normally uses to avoid void corruption)?

[@hmmmooops]

@@artstrutzenberg7197 Calling it the war within certainly makes it sound like there will be inward conflict for the characters.

[@GregorioStyreco]

@@hmmmooops na. the war within is about the war within azeroth. nothing to add there. But i kinda get your perspective. anduin has a war within since SL.

[@Jhodgie84]

I think the meta narrative is always pretty good.Its the boring dialogue and characters along with scenes where bad guys show up and leave while the good guys scratch their head and have no idea what's going on that is often disappointing to me.

[@Krulfar]

I kinda aggree but shadowlands meta narrative was mid at best and df one was decente but had a lot of holes.

[@synmad3638]

Exactly... it's like they write a cool wiki article and then make the story around that

[@davidharman3665]

I think the problem is that because the meta narrative worked so well in WOTLK where Arthas showed up and left a lot. They’ve tried to replicate that ever since.

[@Maria_Erias]

This is pretty much it. I played through the 10.2 story arc recently, and while I generally thought the overall story itself was pretty good for WoW (it wasn't an Argus by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't bad), the actual details of playing through it were murky, annoying, and laughable. For instance, Fyrakk is suffering the Jailer syndrome hardcore as it's never explained WHY he turns into just another boring Saturday morning cartoon villain. Even during one cut scene, Alexstrasza says, "You used to believe in something, and now you just fight for power!" And Fyrakk just laughs and says, "Yes." That's probably the single stupidest exchange in the whole expansion, because, once again, it was a perfect opportunity to explain at least a LITTLE of the villain's motivations... but nope. Don't think about it. Plus, the overall questing in 10.2 was just... boring and monotonous. A procession of "fill bar", "kill X", and "find Y" quests with no variety at all. So, good overall story. Absolutely awful story progression and exposition that felt like something out of a pay to win Korean MMO.

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

@@davidharman3665Really? Because I remember myself and many others specifically disliking that part of WotLK because it made Arthas seem like a villain from a Saturday morning cartoon.

[@chimerakait]

As someone that got scared off by shadowlands, I'm willing to come back, get caught up on the lore and give Metzen's vision of the future of Warcraft a chance. They are fixing a LOT of the grief i had with this game, so ill try. Shadowlands felt pointless, but if they can right the ship and write a cool and shipshape story using the classic lore that i love, than all the better. FOR AZEROTH!!!

[@vanyel_etc8695]

Hey man, if you plan to play TWW remember that the pre order gives you dragonflight, so if you know you'll be playing it feel free to come back to azeroth early! 10.2 has multiple quests that line up TWW. It's also a pretty cool expansion lol

I mean Shadowlands :s As I saw the Cinematic at Blizzcon I was happy to have a more "grounded" feeling but at the half where Azeroth cryd out and "speaks" i immediately saw Hydaelyn in my inner eye and Anduin as "Ardbert" from FF14 :s For ME, WoW has left the road i enjoyed traveling on, WoW is not anymore the Game i fell in love back in 2011. They work towards a new story that the people will enjoy that are still there and also for the new Generation.

The quality of your content is so good!

[@Ghostalking]

I’m really excited but also very sad about the World Soul Saga. I’m really excited because they have a three-expansion plan, which is amazing! The story is compelling, the theme is enticing, and I truly can’t wait to jump into the War Within. I’m sad though because this truly feels like the end of World of Warcraft as we know it. With Illidan and Arthas’ arcs over, the titans and the mysteries surrounding them, Azeroth and Elune were really all that remained from the original WoW world. With this Saga, a lot of mysteries are gonna be answered (which isn’t always a good idea, some things are more interesting when not fully understood), the titans are gonna die, we’ll meet Azeroth in some manner and therefore will probably start to uncover once and for all what Azeroth is.

[@ChinnuWoW]

Nah, they could always expand the story as much as they want. In an interview they even said they want another 15 yrs of WoW.

[@bonefetcherbrimley7740]

Well said.

[@Rakkis88]

WoW 2.0 maybe, but I don't think they will ever truelly end World of Warcraft. As long as some thousand or so people subscribe, the game will keep going. But I could see them majorly recreating the game after World Soul. at least I hope. The game needs an overhaul at the core. New engine, new combat system, etc.

[@jonathanhernandez885]

Im just trying to embrace it for what it is. Like your child getting too big and having to let them be on their own finally after all these years of them needing you.

[@norielgames4765]

Every ending is a new beginning. We are uncovering old mysteries such as Azeroth and Elune, but we have new heroes such as Arator (Alleria's and Tyrion's son), the Arathi humans, and a renewed set of dragon aspects. We have new enemies, such as Xal'atath, the nerubians, and all the cosmic forces (including the light) can be seen as enemies trying to control us. And the prospect of going back to Northrend, seeing Arathi humans, etc, can mean we could retcon the entire Shadowlands and see a return or Arthas or the Arator dynasty.

[@Pokabu94]

We better not have a return of " The Heart Of Azeroth"

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

[@seleckt6600]

As someone who stopped really paying attention to retail story around MoP, this feels like getting back on track. I dipped my toes back into retail lore around shadowlands, and all I could think was "what in the fuck is going on? Blizzard lost the plot." Pandaria with it's whole negative emotion nonsense, wod with all manner of time hopping shennanigans, killed the biggest bad there is in bfa, shadowlands was an entire expansion of retcon, and I have no idea what the hell is even going on in dragonflight. This at least is putting the spotlight back on the original villains of the story. Feels like the last 10 years have been a roller coaster of retcon and shoehorning.

[@TimeyWimey.]

You can see different cosmic forces affecting and infusing the world soul with their power across previous expansions. The titans and arcane throughout the entire game, the void with the old gods, the fel with sargerase's sword, death with the machinery under icecrown, and life with amirdrassil. The only one i cant think of is light, but that may happen in midnight and then the world soul would contain some of each power.

[@Grishyy]

What if Xalatath is a future version of Alleria, where the Void has fully taken control over her, and she could exist outside of time (similar to how Alleria and Turalyon fought Demons for 1000 years despite it being only 24 years on Azeroth). Maybe she isn't strong enough to outright conquer Azeroth, but needs to slowly shape a future that allows the Void to eventually win. It's a contrivance, but it's plausible with current WoW lore.

[@wscroggins6289]

Your lore videos are the best videos

[@olit1234]

I like the setting of The War Within, always wanted to journey to the center of azeroth. I hope there will be more zones that are even deeper that get added in patches.

[@WadeAllen001]

My expectation is that this Coreway that the Earthen are guarding will lead to a patch zone at the center of Azeroth, perhaps one where we actually see the world soul as the skybox.

[@Maria_Erias]

I am actually stoked that we get the Nerubians. It looks like with Metzen back in charge, he's undoing a lot of crappy writing from the last few expansions, given that the last Nerubian brood lord was supposedly killed on a freakin' *island expedition* in BfA. The Nerubians were one of my greatest hopes for a future expansion, and BfA killed that dead. So, good on Metzen for waving away that terrible piece of lore.

[@BrianHuis]

The whole using the void against the void thing did not start with Alleria and her tutor. The Legion can be seen actively using the void everytime and it even stands to reason they are the best weapon against the void because they are fel corrupted. Thus my hope is that we may see Sargeras turn to our side. Remember he did what he did out of desperation, not mere malice. Maybe seeing all this he will change his stance on Azeroth.

[@graddeos]

I ve been saying that for years. Sargeras created the Legion to battle the void and stop it from infecting planets and he was using the Void against the Void itself. He didnt only have demons in his army. He had Void beings too. Voidwalkers, Voidwraiths etc. And his story Arc is not over from his perspective. It is over from ours. We defeated him and saved our planet while Illidan stayed to guard his prison. But from his perspective he hasnt achieved his goal which is to defeat the Void. I am 100% sure Sargeras will return in the Worldsoul Saga, but since hes a massive titan unable to physically enter Azeroth, he will ally with Illidan and use his body as a vessel. That way we will have both Illidan and Sargeras return into the fold and assist us in the Great War.

[@jcarrillo15]

I almost wonder if the voice that they are hearing is actually Xal'atath. Not that Anduin or Thrall would know Azeroth's voice, but I could see it being a subversive element to the trailer. I could see it playing out where Xal'atath has her hands on the core of Azeroth and is trying to somehow trick us into shifting the world soul into a void form or a form that she can then inhabit/control/take over. Just a thought I keep having.

World of Warcraft has kept me sane since the very beginning and 12 years ago I played in hospital right through the leukaemia and my stem cell transplant. I owe the game a lot, it stopped me wondering about whether I would die. I will look forward to this.

Xalatath might be the 'Advancements' noted by Odin in the book from the start of DF.. maybe she was an old god or some high ranking void entity/Naru that wanted balance and peace and had an advanced culture but was overwhelmed by the Titans AND the void in the war.

[@lekrashar]

What tree?

[@ShadowKallig]

It played its part already I think. Which was establishing that Azeroth's power is not Titan magic. Something else, something different. Azeroth used the Tree to give the aspects their powers - which means they are either as strong as they were when they had their Aspectral powers, or Stronger. I don't think the Tree will play more of a part than that. It was used as a stepping stone to establish Azeroth is not a Titan.

[@marcinbiay1074]

@@ShadowKallig that would be very disappointing. this tree combines the magic of life, death and arcane and we not gonna use this power to our advantege?

Is it a “crystal” or is it the tip of the sword in silithis?

[@Mysticalzelda]

I think the biggest threat to the WoW universe is any power being on top, light, void, death, etc. And that claiming Azeroth is the way to victory. That in the end, we learn its a combination of all elements being the key. The same as we always are. Azeroth is everything, we all use all the powers. Demon hunters use chaos, priests void and light, shamans use nature and fire, druids use life, etc etc. I think all of the apocolypse predictions by certain entities were from the perspective of their certain domains. Jailer was scared of something, that mightve been another power winning over azeroth. Which is why he had to claim it for himself, for death. Also having a tree made out of both death and life is a great balance piece for azeroth's power.

[@karldiem7551]

Sounds different... I'm interested... imo wow needs more compelling stories... hopefully this goes on that direction

[@tobiasschulz4168]

I leveled my main in DF and that was it. Heared that it was a good expansion. Felt like it but was not my style and quite too much to do. I‘m an old school vanilla gamer and played classic until BC. The new story feels generic and less epic. I have hope for the new Saga to be more back to the roots and epic and in a way grounded with more intriguing characters! I want the old heros back and arcs finishing at them. I preordered it and I’m exited to see Warcraft again.

[@JessicaHunter]

One thing to note... its plausible that Azeroth is already imbued in balance with all the major forces. Order, Nature, and Light obviously.. but I'd wager that Sargaras striking the world with that giant sword might have been Chaos, the machinery constructed underneath Icecrown could have done something to do with Death during Zovaal's final attack, and finally it would make sense that at the end of Midnight she is finally imbued with the powers of the Void, bringing her into balance with all the cosmic forces.

[@MiriQLMovies]

I think it's pretty cool that we get to realise that the titans were just yet another faction trying to harness the power of Azeroth and we've been conditioned to be on their side. Which side should we be on in the future? Without the curse of flesh, old god magic, we wouldn't even exist.

If the Titans all turn out to be evil and we encounter them again (which we almost certainly will at some point) I don't see how they wouldn't absolutely smoke us. Canonically I believe Legion was the strongest our characters ever were by a HUGE margin and even then without direct buffs from the titans we would have been screwed several times over. There's also the fact that some of the strongest enemies we've ever faced, the Old Gods, were literal fodder to the Titans and could be dealt with by them like pulling out a tick.
