The concept of time in WoW is a tricky thing to figure out unless they explicitly state how much time has passed. No matter how much time has passed in game time the story could have advanced a week or two. My guess? The timeline of the start of Legion to Nighthold is a month.
Remember all this whines about "So much orcs" in Siege of Orgrimmar and WoD? They want to avoid it this time, so first raid has no demon influence at all. Nighthold will have 3 "Legion" bosses, so almost 30%. In Tomb half of the raid will be demons, but new zone, dungeon will be demon theme. Probably last patch will be only about Legion. So you see, if 7.0 had strong Legion presence, we would be fed up by the end of expansion. And now we will have nightmare/vrykul theme -> nightborne/magic theme -> demon/naga theme -> demon/eredar theme with Legion presence growing with every patch.
I agree, this is strange that Guldan isn't even mentioned in story after Broken Shore. On the other hand Nighthold raid and Elisande are set up pretty amazing, I wish that Emerald Nightmare has similar storyline before instance.
probs coz Blizzard are thinking of way for Gul'Dan to be retconned and remainder of Legion be about the lich king .
It's pronounced "Dur-av-ian."
pretty sure we don't hear of him because most NPCs don't even know of him.
I figure each time a demon mook mentions their "master" they are talking about Gul'dan, given his recent promotion.
It does suffer from a bit of tell-don't-show, but I guess that was too avoid demon burnout. Lorewise, this is the biggest demon invasion ever; from a lore perspective it wasn't just the six pre-Legion event invasions that were happening, they were all over the place, and are still happening while we're in the Broken Isles. The Twilight Highlands, Mulgore, Pandaria and Northrend, and Karazhan and Ulduar, are all confirmed spots the Legion has been attacking.
He does pop up in a few quests. We did trsp him in the nether at some point too. So besides all of the things he was doing now he needs to fix the things we unraveled.
