Right so we know the gnome shadow priest warns us about the events with pretty great accuracy that the whispers in the shadows talked of our deaths and the invasion of the temple he even had better accuracy than some of Velen's visions sometimes. Of course Faol thought him being just insane until we finally decided to prepare.
Of course we do the class campaign yada yada and then finally when you finish it what's interesting is when you talk to the gnome again he says "The whispers are silent now."
Considering the fact that if you are a shadow priest along with the Xal'atath comments it says something to the effect "That you gathered quite a group of followers for this incursion, it's a shame you are not preparing for the true war" While in the netherlight temple.
It's quite clear the old gods or void lords are guiding us to a certain outcome. The shadow priest dagger, EM whispers and Xal'atath overall comments seems to be going this direction.
I do hope the next part of the priest campaign focuses on the shadow and the void considering where the story is heading towards and the fact we restored the cult of the forgotten shadow. The whole of the first bit was pretty much about the holy light etc while shadow priests were the elephant in the room lol.
Anyway past my misgivings I do think as well we can't trust Xe'ra either in this context as well.
