Cosmic void makes me think of, in real life, the theorized "dark energy" of our own physical universe. The space in between of which *_nothing_* exists, yet its presence is speeding our universe's expansion. This cosmic void might be the very same thing. But because this is Warcraft, things lurk in this expanse of absolute nothingness, speeding along the process of the Warcraft universe's literal expansion. This cosmic void might be speeding things along to its respective universe's big rip. Which is a theory for our own universe's end where everything, being so far away from one another, loses the ability to maintain gravity. After that, everything just disintegrates. That might be what could happen to Azeroth soon, if we don't re-correct course to a big crunch instead.

Like the more organic old god stuff is what happens when the void manifests in the reality plane that Azeroth resides. On its own in its own plane, void = the more cosmic spacey theme.

This "Cosmic Void" as you've been calling it, is simply The Void. The same Void that is behind the Old Gods. This isn't some new thing. The assets are new, but that's due to updated art assets, not some new form of magic. Most Void magic we've seen has looked too similar to Shadow, which is a lesser tier of Void magic. The new assets are merely Blizzard updated the visuals to differentiate the two more. The Old Gods are servants of the Void Lords. Nothing has changed in that regard. The Old Gods fight amongst themselves, because that is their design. The Void Lords likely fight amongst themselves as well. But they still work towards the same goal of Void domination of Reality. Idk why people keep trying to twist the lore into something it's not. I know Zovaal and the SL were whiplash to a lot of you, but we're always going to get recontextualizations as time goes on, and the lore expands. This is not one of them, however.

The aspects can take any form they choose (hence Neltharion making himself look like an orc) -- the visage forms we see today aren't necessarily what they've always been using.

The current idea is that protodragons came from elementals... & we know the elemental lords served the Old Gods for millennia before the Titans showed up. So I'd say your instincts are probably good -- like humans, gnomes, & dwarves, dragons may also be a result of mixing void & arcane magical influence.

Nobody with functioning neurons should be giving the used toilet paper of a seting this much benifit of the doubt. Blizzard once again just jerked the player around. Going into deathwings lab specifically for answers only to be told "lol there arent any" shows active contempt for the players intelligence. Lets ignore how much deathwing having access to the dragon isles and an active and unattended portal to the void actively destroy cannon too. Frankly, I dont care about all this cosmic set up because I stopped being able to care about the world. Besides with how actively awful and unmoral shadowlands made the universe I actively look forward to how getting actual answers about the void makes people hate the setting even more. Maybe itll get bad enough theyll finally replace the awful narative team.

It seems they deconstruct the whole cosmic forces thing. Which is good since it was too artificial - void being just one element is not very realistic because it then cannot fill its role as the anti-part, the result of chaos/entropy - the absence of potential energy. The pre- Chronicles state was "the void as outside-cosmos force was jealous of the titans capability to directly form the universe hence they send the old gods". Guess they are changing that now by dwarfing the titans + their element and also removing the "that's why they send old gods" thing. They also seem to break the off-limit "outer cosmos" plane of void and include it into the universe. Which also makes sense because it's more realistic. I wonder if that will also change Azeroths role. A huge portal into "the real void plane" was open all the time. Doesn't look like some "get your hands on Azeroth and gg"-thing anymore. Which is also good. That narrative was annoying as fuck imo. Well I'm curious where they are going. Sadly I won't play the game anymore (quit early SL and cannot get back into it somehow) but surely watch Bellulars lore videos.
