THEORY: K'aresh is the southern Draenor Continent

[Raetary]

True but how much what Xal'atath says is true(As in boasting/lying).

everything and nothing.


the void tells half truths.

It says right on the tin. "Ignore its maddening whispers. Do not trust the lies it spins."

how on earth does that line make it non canon?

[Aquamonkey]

Being Xal'atath's sayings a lie doesn't mean they're non-canon. I mean, whatever happens in game is canon, even if it's a lie.

I personally don't think she's lying at all, though. Foreshadowing is pretty much like prophecies. We dunno if they're gonna happen at all, but they're still there, thus canon.

It's like Hearthstone. It exists in-universe, but that doesn't make it real. Just like how Warcraft exists IRL, but it isn't real.

Hearthstone is entirely ackonledged non-canon. All WoW is entirely canon.

Hearthstone is exactly the same as Xal'atath's sayings. Hearthstone exists in WoW.

Hearthstone is exactly the same as Xal'atath's sayings. Hearthstone exists in WoW.

Hearthstone is a game originally based in canon Warcraft universe but feeds upon multiple what if scenarios, which in turn makes it non-canon as a whole (or just those non-canon cards).

WoW is conceived as the primary canon source of lore. Heck, even some elements of some novels/comics can be considered non-canon.

Hearthstone canonically exists inside the Warcraft universe, but the things Hearthstone depicts do not represent the reality of that universe. Just like how WoW exists IRL, but its events do not represent reality IRL. This applies to Xal'atath. All of these things are in-universe fiction.

WoW is not the primary canon source. All sources are canonical except the tabletop RPG. Some parts of WoW are superseded by the novels/comics.

In other words, Xal'atath simply lies. As seen on the item description.
