Noticed how after she teleports the power core with the void bubble, the city starts to fall. This is because the power core, or the center of the city is where the majority of the lay lines converged to, and when they moved it into the sky, they built a sort of battery to absorb all of those energies to keep the city afloat. She stole this battery, or power core along with Khadgar because only he knows how to control it. Xal is trying to build a mana bomb, but instead with a small mana core, it'll have the Dalaran Power Core at its center and the dark heart supplying it's fuse. She's going to blow something massive up, I think it's the Titans. Why do you think we went to MoP in remix prior to this expansion? Blizzard is trying to foreshadow something and get it in the front of our minds.

[@robertrubas2634]

I think khadgar should've been much more powerful given how he is in lore, this made him look so stupid. And the villain should've had more buildup, she just appear. I guess it builds the mystery of how she is so powerful, but i think this pales in comparison to the buildup warcraft3 destruction of dalaran had. (Knowing the quest context as well, it's a sudden assault and she just shows up) (Characters talking about the legion making you wonder what it's going to happen, then they speak of conquering the city, they make a ritual and after much effort the legion lord Is summoned and you get to view their power for the first time). I don't want to be negative for the sake of it, i hate seeing negativity, but i think this could've been much better of an intro, and it feels like shock value because they needed to have it, without any care about making it a meaningful event. There's not even (meaningful) dialogue, it could've been much better :( (i feel like this wasted dalaran, and khadgar) - EDIT: I just watched the dalaran teleport cutscene and it was so good. It makes us expect her appearence, and expect her to be strong. But peraphs she did not need to be here yet. I just wish dalaran destruction was handled in a better way, you don't need to explode a city randomly to show that she's powerful, archimonde himself needed summoning+ a ritual for it. I think it should've been a bigger deal that a 10s segment in a cutscene. In general i warmed up to the expansion (from the quests/cutscenes), the theme seem to be done well, and other xal'atath appearences are MUCH better.

I don't feel bad for dalaran, i don't feel anything about her appearence, i think the good guys aren't doing anything meaningful or trying, i just leave saying "oh ok". (I know she's been there and it was kinda hinted she was strong, but there's a difference between kinda hinted and archimonde++++ level strong. It just needed a bit of buildup for the event to be good, like they did with so many other times when the new power-level was sudden) I'm evaluating the event as a whole in the story, this is nothing when compared to even bfa undercity scenario. The scene does nothing apart from saying "the villain is strong, dalaran is gone".

To be fair, using magic takes quite a lot of effort for a Mage, and Khadgar basically used the Mage version of a particle cannon on Xal'atath. He was probably exhausted after that, using what mana he had left to ensure that Alleria, one of his old friends and comrades-in-arms, could get out. I do admit, I wish he did get to at least punch Xal in the throat, but I'll accept this as canon.

[@TANGL3_BURR]

I have a feeling since Xal is basically absorbing all of Dalaran's magic into the Dark Heart, and Kadgar still had some magic left in him since he teleported Alleria away, maybe he did survive, but just his powers being absorbed into the Dark Heart.

Pale elf vs blue elf. Both seasoned veterans in the arts of blowing up cities and humiliating big figures. Still she has 2 cities on her blown up list, gotta raise your game xal, blowing up dalaran is just something every wannabe villan does.. kind of the initiation ritual at this point. But this time it got vapirized, we'll watch her psyco villain career with great interest.

[@tatalsaba]

Dalaran's gone, again. No way do I believe Khadgar's dead though, Medivh might save his hide, or he's been transported somewhere else to be the Void's new puppet. He's also quite likely to have lost a hand.

[@UnNotAnon]

Yeah Khadgar is definitely in a pocket realm. He’s gonna be #damaged just like Anduin after this

[@nemben86]

I don't think he's dead though, probably trapped in the Void until Midnight. Didn't Metzen said we wouldn't be losing anybody on this saga?

[@chickensauna]

I guess khadgar got the varian treatment but with void instead of fel, poof up like smoke 😮💀

[@kamilskrzypinski2165]

KHADGAR DESERVE REALLY CINEMATIC!!!!!

[@cangurojack06]

A cgi at last, for one of the ancient characters of Warcraft

[@WOWMageMaster]

I really don't think Dalaran was fully destroyed. The more i re-watch it it looks to me like she was sending it somewhere. Specially since Xal was in the blast herself.

[@triples2745]

Khadgar forgot to use arcane shield.

[@joshb6692]

2:11 They’ve been watching too much DB Super because Khadgar got full on Hakai’d there 😂

[@sangminpark7351]

Where is Lord Khadgar, the Archmage who destroyed the Dark Portal with powerful magic in Warcraft 2?

[@thelorenerd3001]

1) He's become older since then. 2) OOM)

[@najacipedo6898]

No Book of Medivh to save him now.

[@haroldmiranda9906]

Maybe Khadgar will join Medivh as a ghost in Karazhan

[@ronabq103]

Iceblock no longer works?

[@renevil2105]

Yeah whamen agenda nerf him hard.

[@raharbour388]

2:05 this was a little bit on the nose, Blizzard.

[@Argronok0]

What's on the nose exactly?

[@Tylerzord1]

@@Argronok0I’d assume it’s because they didn’t really show him die? Like his arm got disintegrated, but that’s it. He could still be alive lmao

[@AxR558]

@@Tylerzord1 Are you suggesting that he's now going to be fighting the void from within? Leading "The War Within" the void? O.o

[@JenTUX]

Wait now that I look at it... Yes we don't see him entirely die, just his hand disintegrate. Silently hoping he comes back

[@camimi7782]

The Legion broke it 3 times and left some traces of it behind, Xal'atath came in, placed her big ball sacks on the table and said: "Nah, I'd erase it."

[@RavenIV]

Where was Locus Walker when the Dalaran fell ?!?

[@elementSe34]

Where were you when they built that ladder to Dalaran?

[@BowserisOK]

Not gonna lie, but Khadgar's death has a lesser impact compared to Varian's death by Gul'dan in Legion. Perhaps it's because WoW players have spent more time and interacting with Varian compared to Khadgar.

[@JavierSegura]

It had less impact because he is not dead.

[@MrOrcshaman]

Like to hope maybe he got sucked into the void and still exists somehow, but who knows

[@petrino]

oh man, i liked dalaran, why couldnt she blow up stormwind instead?

[@pavelduba6868]

Now that Khadgar’s gone, time to bring Me’dan back.

[@Likhos1]

MEH, Dalaran's seen worse, we can rebuild

[@geodageo]

Let this scar signify the first blow against the mortal world. From this seal shall arise the doom of men, who, in their arrogance, sought to wield our fire as their own. Blindly they built their kingdoms upon stolen knowledge and conceit

[@fredztah]

Khadgar's "fly you fools" moment o7

[@gman99999]

Well N'zoth was right. Only he could save our world.

[@Echoverse1337]

Oh no, the McGuffin is gone😱

[@Adrasser]

Chill we still have second Dalaran from wotlk this was just Legion Dala 😄😉
