1:35 As someone who lives near Oregon, I can confirm we have huge, yolked out fungus infested last of us style dudes just chillin' in the woods. Jokes aside, thanks for the video, it was neat! That bee Theory makes allot of sense!

[@spindoggytheexplorer2915]

I’m sold. This is my second video of yours I’ve watched. The InfoWars references, the truly impressive deep dives into the new lore, top notch speculation the likes of which even Bellular, Pyro, Accolon, and Doron aren’t even close to competing with currently. The 10/10 editing, the character you’ve built and the voice!? This channel blows me away. You’ve got a real shot a this channel striking it big. Best of luck to you! You earned my sub. Looking forward to Pt2.

[@_xaxxas]

Honored! Thank you kindly, I will keep trying to meet/exceed that standard as I learn. :)

[@NancyvanD]

I'm really enjoying this style of video's. Looking forward to see more. Subscribed! 😁

[@Joe-pm9xv]

10/10 just as good as the last one

[@_xaxxas]

Great to hear! Thanks for tuning in once again.

[@terribleterrier1685]

I love this. I've been playing with the connection between Elune and Fungi for a while. EXCELLENT work.

[@_xaxxas]

It's in the Faerie Rings! 🍄🌗🍄

[@terribleterrier1685]

@@_xaxxas So true. The Faerie Dragons too ;) They are immune to magical corruption and have a thing for Faerie Rings.

[@OkamiThunder]

Aman'Thuls reaction to Eonar creating a world tree makes me think that Aeonar might be similar to Sargeras in the sense that she is "corrupted" by nature like Sargeras is with destruction and that the Titans are not as aligned with order as we think. That's why the void sees Azeroth and it's worldsoul as extremely important. Also decay and fungus stuff should hopefully bring the plothread of the decay infused Gnolls in Brackenhide or how Galakrond was essentially an Aspect of Decay to a close.

[@_xaxxas]

Those pesky Gnolls have got nothing on the Nerubian's mastery of Decay in Azj Kahet! One door closes, and 8 creepy legs open another. 🕷

[@Werlath]

I've been watching your vids for a time, as often as they come out, and I have to join the chorus down below. Your work beats all so called "lore speculators" out there, put simply but eloquently in a very, very nice wrap. WELL done, and good luck going forward (but I don't think luck is warranted)!

[@TheLegatoNet]

Another banger. Love this!

[@Guglhupfscout24]

You are making me so hyped up for the world soul saga!

[@_xaxxas]

So glad to hear it!

[@Jupiterpunk]

The connection to mycelium had me loving this video! A great suprise to wake up to this morning, loved the voiceover!

[@_xaxxas]

🌳🍄🌗 It's allll connected.. literally!

[@sikhjatt23]

Great content my man. Everything from the visuals to the heart of the content. You've done your research and it shows. Keep up the great work!

[@_xaxxas]

Much appreciated! I've lived and breathed Warcraft most of my life now, so it's nice to do something productive with all of the lore knowledge and love for the franchise that is probably taking up countless Gigabytes of brain-space haha Even cooler to see it resonate!

[@jayguitard]

Great content, I’m really enjoying watching your videos Xaxxas! Looking forward to your next video 🙏🏼☺️

[@_xaxxas]

🤟

[@LDaemontus]

More more more! So excited to see where this channel goes!

[@_xaxxas]

Shooting for the moon ;) thank you!

[@LDaemontus]

@@_xaxxas You're welcome! Without giving too much spoilers, you'll love what's likely to be revealed from alpha/beta. We might be seeing who those "guardians" are *real* soon. :D

[@Spazzthrashers]

Consider this : the Forsaken food vendors sell different types of fungus and mushrooms. Perhaps fugus have a decay fighting effect on them since they are undead.

[@ladyrenegade1113]

Excellent stuff! 😃

[@Mana_Bunz]

The Legend of Elune'ahir made me assume that the Well of Eternity was the place that Eonar's tears fell, where the first world tree once stood. It kinda makes sense when you consider that this was before the Sundering.

[@Garroshable]

Loving your videos man, very good theory crafting going on. This video audio was a bit low and muted for me, while your last video was fine. Keep up the great work!

[@_xaxxas]

I suppose I had felt the last one was too loud 😅 so thank you for the feedback and I'm glad it's been an otherwise enjoyable watch for ya

[@GioFan201051]

Aman'thul is that one kid reminding the teacher about homework. Great video btw!

[@_xaxxas]

Fun-Police Chief Aman'thul is on the scene 🥱😴 Thanks for dropping in!

[@Valkyani]

The bees theory is no joke, it mirrors the curse of flesh.

Bee-ware !! 🐝🍺

Keep up the good work! Goblins rule!

They've got what we need! I'm glad it was fun for ya 😁

[@Adriipht6969]

Love your videos. Also seems like someone might have seen a certain podcast with Paul Stamets haha

[@_xaxxas]

😂 I nearly had Nazaxx wearing Paul's iconic hat! Cheers.

[@Adriipht6969]

@@_xaxxas That would have been hilarious! That episode has probably one of the most interesting talks I've seen on there, it blew my mind! haha

[@Chad-zd4vs]

Love the videos!

👈👈 Thank you!

[@zayang2802]

It's awesome👍👍👍

[@MrHuntervad]

And you just kept them coming! ... Good ... 🤣

[@_xaxxas]

On that grind like a true Goblin 🕑

[@Aureora]

Can't wait for another parts! Absolutely love your theorycrafting! All your videos are top tier so far. (but audio in this one is little noisy and quiet :P)

[@_xaxxas]

Noted! I appreciate the hype 😄

[@psychomikoo]

Enjoyed the video, keep it up! On a minor note, the sound balance in this one was a bit off, the music was a lot louder than your voice and one had to focus to hear what you were saying.

[@_xaxxas]

Thanks for letting me know! Of all the things I'm learning to do while making these, Audio definitely is up there. And it matters a lot to me, as I live for WoW's music!

[@kaneslives]

So…. If we meet Elune…. Elune: You once pissed in a moonwell… Me: Yes… yes I did.

[@_xaxxas]

You were only trying to ‘Balance’ the pH levels of the water, surely she’ll understand! 😂

[@Esen99153]

I cannot unhear "elune here"

[@_xaxxas]

Now that you mention it, the name does have "elune was here" vibes.

[@BlututhHS]

Last episode was a bit too speculative for my taste, but this episode really nailed it! Some very convincing theories, and I can't wait for the third episode!

[@_xaxxas]

Thanks! I appreciate the insight and would definitely be keen on knowing where you felt that one went too far or needs clarification in the future :)

[@BlututhHS]

@@_xaxxas I just felt the last episode made some pretty grand claims about the cosmic hierarchy of Warcraft, but it didn't necessarily have the evidence to support such claims. Who knows, it is possible that Elune is the one true creator of the Warcraft universe, but I don't think Blizzard has laid out enough bread crumbs to make such a speculative leap yet. The theories in this video however were of a smaller scale; closer to things we're more familiar with, and thus felt more believable.

[@AnubisofScorpio]

Wait a minute, Old God juice? Are we all getting Twilight Hammered? Were Brewmasters in league with the tentacle guys all along?!

[@Waauugh]

Hmm. But if Aman'thul was not aware of the roots of Elune'ahir, then how did he notice the network's chaos? Is it because of the mushrooms that sprouted and looked vastly different from the trees that Aman'thul is used to with Eonar's blessings, thus making him see 'chaos' rather than Eonar's usual life-giving? With the Old Gods, decay is a very common thing, they've been described as gross flesh beings, so the mushrooms sprouting over the decayed parts of the Old Gods makes perfect sense, causing Aman'thul to see it as a byproduct of the Old Gods/chaos.

[@_xaxxas]

The Legend of Elun'ahir details the order of operations there in a way that seemed to me to imply that he didn't realize that he failed to entirely rid the area of Elun'ahir's influence. So he saw the fungus and weird plants coming from the area, but did not see (as we do know) the Roots persisting and continuing the Decay/Life Balance. The Tree might have even become visually twisted like Shaladrassil, but we just don't know for sure. This solution tries to reconcile the same question you have, as spores/fungus tend to be pretty resilient. And hey, good note about the Old God remains ;) Stay tuned, and thanks for the thoughtful reply!

[@Waauugh]

@@_xaxxas True! Big lack of info, so it could've been anything that caught Aman'thul's attention. Even the big tree itself could've been "The CHAAOOOSSS!". So I'mma say, never let Aman'thul see Elunaria. ;>_>

[@aireeysplace]

I really enjoyed this video! Although the balance in audio is really off putting for me. The music is super loud and makes it a bit difficult for me to enjoy :(. Keep up the good work though! Just think that needs some refining

[@_xaxxas]

Ty for letting me know ~ I'll bring the audio back up a notch next time again.

[@aireeysplace]

@@_xaxxas Im actually a music producer and know a thing or two about mixing vocals and stuff so if you ever need some help just holla! That and im looking to start wow content myself so would be down to collab too!!!

[@mitkoshredder]

I hate it that the music is on the right side and the voice comes from both at some points in the video .... The video is good tho and gives info that I didn't know

[@_xaxxas]

There is still Mushroom for improvement ;) ty for the feedback

[@games12444]

A suggestion: the music is way too loud and competes against your voice. Sometimes hard to hear and listen to.

[@_xaxxas]

Thank you. I use the music very intentionally to match the themes being discussed, kind of like a score to a film, and I did perhaps leave it a bit high this time. (my ear preference vs. what actually works, I guess 😅). I appreciate the suggestion and hope you found it engaging either way!

[@valeclaw1697]

Let it decay. Ffs, this is the third "first world tree" in the lore. Make world trees actually fucking interesting and consistent first to get people to actually care. Even night elf players dont anymore.
