World Of Warcraft : Shadow over Kul'Tiras

[Faxton]

So, it seems that the next expansion takes us to the island of Kul'tiras and will most likely face us against the voidlords.

This seemed very familiar to another story Im quite fond of.

Namely Shadow Over Innsmouth by HP Lovecraft. Thematically this can fit. A remote coastal city that has slowly been corrupted by eldrich forces.

I for one would love this approach, but what do you guys/gals think?

[Eleccybubb]

Eh name sounds a bit weird. I don't see it going a Lovecraft route if the islands are still intact.

Also Kul Tiras is more likely Azshara. They seem adamant on not caring about the Void Lords right now.

Every time somebody says this, a new panda hugging time traveller orc is born.

you base this on what? wishes and hopes aren't enough to make this happen.

I don't think next expansion will put us against the void lords yet. They will be present of course, but I have the feeling blizzard is going to focus on the horde and alliance and further develop Anduin and Sylvanas.

Well there is speculation since 7.3 datamined Kul Tiras gear but until an official announcement it is just speculation.

[Faxton]

Although I don't think Kul-Tiras is cool or popular enough to warrant a place in the expac's name, I love that reference to Shadow Over Innsmouth, that one was a perfectly creepy story.

I just used that as an example, I agree that the name doesnt fit.

This is based ONLY on rumors and uncomfirmed gossip. So take it with a grain of salt!

Void lords cant even enter our universe so no we dont face them.
We fight there minions the old gods.

[Skoll Shorties]

First gotta take care of N'zoth before we can even think of Void Lords. Plus there is Azshara and Prophet Zul. I don't think the Void Lords will be the threat in this coming Expansion.

[Deleted]

That's all fine and dandy... but you forgot to list what you are basing this hypothesis on.

The 1 set of "green" cloth gear we got to see?
And a quote from a Dreadlord?

[Kuja]

My bet is on the Old Gods, but those may come later as they have been hinted so much about this expansion that it coming next would be everyone's guess, so there's more of a surprise if it's about something else.

Void starts to consume Azeroth while we're on Argus, or something like that is as likely. Ethereums making a return suddenly, and those (At least the good ones) "attempts to thwart the void" according to wiki.

I love the proposed title. Even without Lovecraft, it references both the Void and the sea in three words.

I think it would only make sense if a full on Void lords + minions expansion came straight after an expansion with N'Zoth as the last boss.

No, it's going to be Shadow UNDER Kul'Tiras.

[Apology]

Shadow Over Kul'Tiras. I like it.

[Deleted]

No way Kul'tiras is big or important enough to support an entire expansion. It will, at best, be a zone in the rumoured South Seas expansion, but most likely a dungeon instance.

it's called Jaina Proudmoore and the isle of Kul'Tiras - opens up with Jaina as a child living under the stairs before she gets her letter for Dalaran school of mage arts.

I guess they could make it as big as a continent if they want to really, even continent sized.

But I do agree with you that it's more likely to be a part of a group of islands, possibly the center hub.

I suspect that once we have finished off the legion the void lords will become the central baddies over several expansions. We will be introduced to new significant void lord characters and they will be fleshed out over the next couple of expansions in the hope we will give a damn.

Could have said the same about Pandaria or Broken Isles, once upon a time. Looks to me like their mindset is that they're running out of places to take us, and if they do the entire South Seas in one hit it's going to dry up that well pretty quickly. At this point I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a Kul'Tiras expansion, and a Kezan expansion, and a Zandalar expansion, etc.
