15:34 - There's a clash between old and new lore here, as the Chronicle states it was Khadgar who managed to make contact with A'dal (who was in the Army of the Light). 15:49 - Slight correction: it's "on the orders of", not "in order of". ^^

[@Nobbel87]

Hmm what you mean with clashing of lore? Khadgar and Velen were the ones reaching out and drew the attention of the Army of the Light -> a'dal and crew send out. It was then the aldor that drew his attention to shattrath. Second bit, yeaaaaaaa one day i'll learn proper english...one day!

[@Breaker242]

I know that TBC was a weird part of the lore but even internally it makes no sense if I think about it. Between the dark portal opening for the first time and the events of TBC the amount of time that supposedly passed was around 10 years and yet the advanced population of adult netherdragons (black dragon brought there by Deathwing in his pact with Nerzhul) would make it seem like they must have been there for at least a few generations already. Kaelthas and Vashj built up giant and very complex industrial facilities seemingly from scratch in a matter of just 1-2 years between Arthas ascending the Frozen Throne and Lord Kazzak reopening the portal? The whole chronology of events if thought about in a logical way would make it seem like these things must have all happened over a much larger timescale to be believable.

[@Breaker242]

Addendum: Actually the time for Black Dragons to be on Outland must be even less than 10 years because thats when the first war between Orcs and Humans happened, whereas the deal with Nerzhul and Deathwing only occured after the Second War during Beyond The Dark Portal which in the beginning of Warcraft 2 it explains as having happened 5 years later. So really everything we see regarding the Netherdragons settling in Outland and fighting the gron etc must have happened in less than half a decade

[@mokarokas-1727]

@@Breaker242 - Development on Outland post-Third War was pretty quick, but you're actually wrong about the amount of years passed. Between the first opening of the Dark Portal and TBC roughly 25 years have passed (Second War being a couple years later). Between Arthas ascending the Frozen Throne and TBC there are about four years.

[@Nobbel87]

tbh time moves pretty quickly in WoW. Most expansions only last a year or two on the timeline. Imagine being a rando citizen on Azeroth dealing with a world devestating threat every 2 years.

[@gokibros4451]

The horde ultimately helped them in the fight against the armani trolls that were at their gates. Blood knights and spell breakers as a concept got sidelined and made unimportant after the expansion as well. Velen would do something there because it is the right thing to do and not to hold over the Blelfs. Many Blelfs still consider themselves friendly to the alliance and their current leader has clashed first hand with horde tyrants like Garrosh's and Nathanos's/Sylvanas's minions or whatever. In a conversation during BfA Lor'themar has a casual conversation with Thalyssra (Nightborne leader) of the alliance where he and her are largely indifferent to the horde and the horde vs alliance issues as a whole. Mechagnomes also seem rather indifferent and just want to be around their gnomish bretheren of kalimdor.

[@Dr.Cosmar]

Oof, my guy, 27 seconds in...wtf? It's actually a pretty important fact that Sargerus wanted to destroy the old gods specifically. He was willing to, essentially, abort unborn titans slumbering in their worlds. This went from, "Kill all the infected worlds" to, "kill all worlds so they don't become infected". Speculation; Sargeras' conviction grew to doubt, and he was driven mad after harvesting the powers of Fel energies from the twisting nether (chaos realm). Titans are just really big "us". It would make sense they CHOOSE to harness the powers of order from their respective realm, and even reside their maybe. However, Sargeras attempted to harness Fel, and much like many of us (the world characters), he went completely insane with power. Which came first is a "chicken and egg" problem. I'm just trying to say, if you are going to do lore, get all the details correct or don't do it. It's why I'm no longer subbed. It's like the time you said Illidan teleported Argus or teleported Azeroth....he did neither, he broke a veil between the two. Should I get a napkin, punch a hole in it, and fold it for demonstration?

[@Nobbel87]

"Sargeras expressed his growing fear that existence itself was already flawed - an idea that he had come to terms with following his encounter with the Old Gods. Only by burning away all of creation could the titans stand a chance of thwarting the void lords' ultimate goal. In Sargeras's mind, even a lifeless universe was better than one dominated by the Void. Life had taken root in the cosmos once before. Perhaps after the physical universe was scoured of corruption, life would take root once again." Chronicles volume 1. Didn't want to dive too deep into the story of Sargeras and kept it at destroy the universe, including azeroth. Think that works!
