The Story of The Ethereals - Karesh, Dimensius, Locus-Walker and MORE [Lore]

The ethereals have been around for quite a while and at some point we believed we had dealt with their biggest foe, Dimensius the all devouring. Turns out that wasn't the real thing. Not even close. Now our world is calling out, similar to Karesh. Warning us that the harbinger, Xal'atath, is up to something. Is Dimensius on his way? Are the people of Azeroth set to turn into Ethereals as well?! LETS TALK ABOUT THEIR STORY!
I hope you'll enjoy ^_^

Ethereals lore is very unique and interesting. I loved them since TBC and I hope one day they became playable as well as their homeworld that is like outlands but larger with zones.

[@Speknoz]

Same, they were my favorite part of TBC.

[@charmingtrainer]

In case someone didn't mention it and it's a smaller detail, but there's ethereals in the visions of N'Zoth collecting mementos or coins or something as well. Spooky 😱

[@CaiRobinson]

Rafamm has the personality wow absolutely needs

[@Augusto2]

Bro is called "Locus-Walker" and he floats, doesnt walk. The hipocrisy

[@TheHomelessChosen]

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the one ethereal in horrific visions

[@Nanaki_VII]

Love how much pages of lore are actually already there to be read. Keep on going Nobbel!

[@Starkiller2725]

Can't wait to see what Void lords actually look like at full power.

[@elliotbottel2674]

Sir Nobbel87, is it possible to do a recap of who were prisoned in the Violet Hold? Dalaran as as fallen and i fear the worse!

[@Usagi33353]

I wish they kept Locus-Walker's original voice. It was so smooth and buttery

[@Hi-fd4cw]

Really hoping to play as these guys someday

[@HawkknightXC88]

Same here as well.

[@nobodyImportantl0l0l]

Been hoping since TBC

[@jaded-harper]

nah we get rock dwarves lemao. I wish allied races weren't such pathetic attempts at adding ACTUAL new races to the game. they can't be bothered to do more asset rigging I guess. such a shame

[@johnleep4435]

We might in midnight expansion they could introduce a new class called nethermancer and this would be a class for etherals and other races of the horde and alliance

[@MyUsualComment]

Me too

[@jeffreyarnold2626]

well one plus if they become playable. you won't have ears or horns that clip your armor 😂

[@FalloutFM]

Thanks a lot mate, my night elf's crying now

[@1Forn61]

aye im down for it i dont need alot of shiny different armor on every Char xd. Dracthyr dont have that much either but it does its Job and when i play a Dracthyr then i wanna delve more into being a dragon instead of focusing on Armor same would as Ethereal or Naga, just lemme be such a cool creature. Im fine with 2-3 Slots for transmog.

[@alihorda]

Well my biggest problem with evoker that transmogs don't work on them 😢​@@1Forn61

[@Doctor2706i]

I’m going to take this opportunity to inquire something I was kinda confused about. Is shadow magic also void magic? Do affliction warlocks and shadows priests draw from the same source of power?

[@arch-warlock7409]

yes, shadow = void

[@samuelhellewell2880]

sortof? its either considered void or death magic

[@ArcenKnight]

In the shadow priest description when your picking/switching specs, it says wield shadow and void. It would be weird if they differentiated the 2 if they were the same so I would say they are different.

[@rvds2040]

@@ArcenKnight its just 2 words for the same thing

[@jaymzOG]

With Shadow Priests it's pretty obvious because we know where their Holy magic comes from (Naaru = source of The Light) and what the opposite of that is for their Shadow magic (Void). Warlocks tap into the Twisting Nether for their magic, which is all chaos and fel/demon magic. I would say Affliction Warlocks just tap into the corrupting power of chaos and fel. The Void doesn't really deal with disease, it's more about warping reality and the mind. But if you imagine how real people contract diseases or cancer especially, you could see why imbuing somebody with too much chaotic energy would do what Affliction does.

[@StraussWyldeTT]

No mention of the Brokers in Oribos?

[@jaskim5723]

Plot twist Rafaam is the Locus Walker

[@essurio]

Rafaaaam! The supreeeme archeologyst!

[@Antonqaz]

Could Dimensius have been the void-corrupted world soul of K'aresh? I'm thinking that the Dimensius we fought in Outland might have been an avatar similar to the one Sargeras used. Edit: Could also be that K'aresh was the voidinfested world Sargeras came across, and him destroying it weakened Dimensius enough so that we could kill him in TBC

[@notyourdaughter666]

that’s similar to my theory, except i think that dimensius is merely the one who corrupted it. i think we are gonna meet the corrupted world soul in the last titan, hence the name. i think he’ll probably be the final boss

[@1Forn61]

ye thats one of my thoughts aswell in terms of karesh being the Planet which got destroyed by Sarg. They seem to be a ancient race like the Draenei who both used the power of their World soul knowlingy hence they were so advanced. That made them a Target for Cosmic forces. Sarg got interested in Draeneis and Dimensius in the ethereals.

[@Krane2000]

I wonder, maybe Xal'Atath is actually an Ethereal, the same one that lead to the doom of Karesh. That would be why Locus Walker is familiair with her and knows of her as the Harbinger, and might explain how she uses the same Void portal magic that the Ethereals do. It might also be why the same things that happened to Karesh and happening to Azeroth in regards to the Resonant Song. We already know that she can manipulate time, and clearly is a disembodied spirit without her own physical form. Perhaps she was sent back in time to the Black Empire on Azeroth after being successful on Karesh, but was betrayed in some way by the Old Gods/worked with N'Zoth after he discovered his own defeat in the future, so as to bring about the plans in The War Within? Or maybe Karesh happened long before the Black Empire, and she simply went from her success on Karesh to Azeroth.

[@logan1021]

So is dimensius one of the big void lords or is he just a powerful voidwalker

[@Arxareon]

Well.. it might truly be too late for the Dalaran Heist.. but perhaps.. a Gedgetzan Heist instead? With a surely coming world revamp, we may get a more citified Gedgetzan in WoW akin to HS which could just be a perfect city for the League of Evil to debut on top of all the gang goodness native to the city as well.

[@KiwiSpartan01]

Can you please sort your playlists video order by oldest to newest

[@arturjanus5651]

Nice lore video !🔥💪

[@heartless2147]

They should add Rafaam and the league of evil to the game, Dr Boom has been there since BC. Just add the other members like they did with Sir Finley and the other explorers besides Brann.

[@Fanático_78]

Rafaam: I AM RAFAAM HAHAHAHAHAAAA

[@ImanGHR]

WHAT IF ... Xal'atath is Alleria in the future O.o

[@oniros80]

I feel like the Ethereals are very much like the Necrons of the Warhammer 40k universe.

[@lord_pamperin4233]

Why can warlock summ that void pet?

[@martinharhovsky7712]

The fact that a much larger segment of the video wasn't dedicated to the ARCH-VILLAIN, ARCH-THIEF AND SUPREME ARCHAEOLOGIST RAFAAM is a tragedy.

[@ScumlordStudio]

As the kids say, locus-walker is Him

[@wellofeternity3327]

Then said, my pronoun is xe/ra ⚡️

[@apacalypsagon3758]

Not sure why anyone would put much in the way of stocks in them. Who'd want to trust anyone who's life descion's made them turn into some kind of holloffied mummy. I feel we tend to listen abit too much and not look with our eyes.

[@Dlynquent]

Xal'atath is an ethereal. Bite me

[@apacalypsagon3758]

I miss cho'gall

[@hotlikesauce]

the Jailer knew about him tho

[@NiinaBlue]

Khadgar in disguise 🤣

[@TheCommentFactory]

Ethereals should have became a playable race YEARS ago 😒

[@ChrisBear1989]

Locus Walker is very Suss.

[@senorspicyboi]

If we don't get to go to Karesh in the next expansion, I will be very disappointed.

[@notyourdaughter666]

it’s implied that k’aresh is gone completely. my guess is that it hard a world soul, and was destroyed when the soul inside was corrupted fully and then woke up. my guess is, k’aresh is going to be the final boss of the last titan, being a fully corrupted void titan. thus he would be the “last titan” in question. cause it’s clear that azeroth is something different than the other titans and that’s why she’s so strong

[@senorspicyboi]

@@notyourdaughter666 Karesh can also be like Outland though. Just a massive chunk of world floating in the nether.

[@HawkknightXC88]

Hopefully has more zones to level in than less what last 3 expansions were with less zones of 3 to 4.

[@nobodyImportantl0l0l]

@@notyourdaughter666 Isn't Azeroth the last titan? K'aresh is completely gone and consumed.

[@notyourdaughter666]

@@nobodyImportantl0l0l that’s my theory, though. the people of k’aresh heard the radiant song, which is implied to come from the world soul. if k’aresh didn’t have one, why would the people of that planet have heard the radiant song? i think azeroth is implied to be something other than a titan, which is why she’s so powerful. i think she’s an elemental titan of some kind. so that would mean k’aresh is the last titan, and is a void titan.

[@kylekingsley3241]

So you just read other people's scripts now? Might as well just read the wowhead artical, do your own work.

[@Nobbel87]

Other way around! I make the script and send that to WoWhead, they turn it into an article so you can read it for yourself.

[@JackTDipper]

The title of the WoWHead article says: 'The Story of the Ethereals with Nobbel87'.... Maybe not read it because it seems you can't read at all. 🤣

[@KC-py5vq]

Locus walker is totally gonna be a boss fight and one of the mechanics of the fight is gonna be him saying his true name with a bunch of void beings coming through a bunch of portals

[@ScumlordStudio]

i'd rather him become our ally, and the raid boss is him saying his name and us wrecking whatever comes through. making locus walker into a bad guy is too easy. I'd rather him become a temporary ally that then fades back into "idk if we can trust him after all he's weird"

[@notyourdaughter666]

i disagree. the reason that a bunch of void beings would come if he said his name is because they’re hunting him down, not because his name is like a magic word. they can probably hear across dimensions and if they hear his name they know where to look for him.
