[@berchelio9737]

​@@Doronsmovies The problem in fantasy in general is that villains are just brainless evil guys doing their bad stuff.. not complicated manipulators and tricksters. I believe that a smart "evil" politician is more interesting for the lore than the classic evil dude that laughs at enemies from the top of his tower, underestimating them. From my perspective recent villans like Iridikron and the Harbinger are more intersting than others, like Fyrakk (a filler character) and the Jailer, which is a lowpoint in the wow lore..

This is an interesting idea, especially if it leads up to the long awaited fracturing of the Alliance. It also has the potential for a new take on the faction conflict, but have as the Horde and a fractured Alliance vs the Light Empire and those who share its beliefs. Definitely curious to see what comes next.

[@sevenzabala1576]

the klaxxi comment when you follow him downstairs feels related to this, can anyone confirm this plz?

[@stormstrider1990]

In the original death knight starting experience from Wrath, the Scarlet Crusade holds an area on the eastern shore called New Avalon. In 2008, this was simply a reference to the Arthurian legends, in which Avalon is an island shrouded by mists where King Arthur is taken after his death to recover, until he may return to free Britannia from its enemies. However, this name may still hold a meaning to the people of Lordaeron. What if the name "Avalon" in WoW is the Arathi name for a mythical land across the eastern sea their ancestors heard stories about from the last vrykul guarding Tyr's Tomb? The vrykul in turn learned of this continent from Keeper Tyr, who called the land "Avaloren". If the theories about a lost Arathi Empire on the other side of Azeroth are true, I believe a few centuries ago, the Arathi king sent an expedition east to search for this mythical "Avalon". They somehow found the lost continent, and founded a new Arathi Empire. This empire discovered something called the "Holy Fire", and became more powerful and technologically advanced than any other human nation at the time. Yet for some reason, they stayed hidden in the lost continent for centuries. Merely 15 years ago, the current Emperor received a vision about the "final battle between the Light and Darkness", and sent an expedition that somehow got teleported to Khaz Algar, near the Light crystal they named "Beledar". Whether the new Arathi Empire will be a friend or foe, this story has a lot of potential.

[@jameschristophercirujano6650]

Maybe pertaining to Anduin having used Shadowpriest powers during the Jade forest storyline? He casted fear to dozens of hozen, and mind control on a dwarf tasked to pick him up.

[@gortex123]

Ok first things first, the most important, Where do i sign up??? My paladin is ready to serve the Emperor! Second, I really feel like ressurecting Whitemane as a death knight was an lost opportunity, especially now, I wish they had let her be. It would have been so much better if this Light Emperor had ressurected her into the light or something like that, and have her be full on fanatical and once again lead the Scarlet Crusade in the Eastern Kingdom as one more fanatical wing of their empire to bring the empire to the eastern kingdom.

[@mikeb9830jpchi]

Kills her and does the strange light necromantic res thing, possible but probably not.

[@claytonbroulik8575]

Scarlet Crusade teleport in from somewhere. Just saying........

[@mistermort77]

That’s a big question. But nobody will know for sure before the Last Titan expac. If the Arathi live in Avaloren, then we know that the titans consider them as « heretics ». Why ? And there is that mysterious Ill’ginoth prophecy : « The golden one claims a vacant throne. The crown of light will bring only darkness. » could this refers to the emperor ? I don’t trust the emperor. I wouldn’t be surprised if, once the void repelled, he tried to reclaim the throne of the alliance as his own.

this story would be an amazing turn and actually believable, which will make it more immersion building. i would love to see us find another "human ally" only to then find out they are corrupted and have to fight them.

[@stealplow8462]

I think the big mystery is with all the technology and magic that we have how the fuck they kept quiet and mysterious for so long with out anybody knowing about. Also, why did they stay silent when would ending events were happening if we would lost in those battles the world of burned or blow up lol.

[@mikeb9830jpchi]

@stealplow8462 @Doronsmovies Yeah I mean... You have a point. The Cataclysm and Argus showing up is pretty hard to miss. Oh, and the sky breaking? Am I missing any other globally observable events? Maybe Rhonin casting that sky spell when we defeated Algalon? That's canon, right? While we're on that, shouldn't the Council of Six know all about, like, all of this?

[@SENPAI.Popaii]

New writer trying to clean up after danucer

[@fadedletterslost]

My humble theory is that what feels like 15 years for the Hollowfall expedition is really more like 1200 years. The emperor heard the voice of a fallen Naaru ship that is being contaminated by void entities which is the day night cycle and when they went to find it they were teleported into the future somehow.

Yeah, good writing... Let's make the old good guys that were always good, bad and the really bad guys, good, because they were misunderstood... Good writing! On the same level as the majority of all writers of today's entertainment... Make the good bad and vice versa and retcon the lore. Disney has done it to Cruella and other characters like Maleficent and countless studios and companies do this shit AND 80% of writers believe if they do this, they "subvert expectations" of the audiences and is "good writting".. These writers have lost the good vs bad trope, they only write "morally grey characters"... And I could say they are driven by some force to write this way, but I will digress...

@mikebetsanes9830 very true then by all accounts that make the Titans almost the Ultimate Beings in regards to Balance for the other Cosmological Beings as for the most parts they left Azeroth alone and Abandoned only stopping a imbalance of a Cosmological Force.
