    If this is the new Expansion I wonder how Alleria and Turalyon would fit it? Like Metzen has confirmed they are coming back next Expansion.

    So, basically, I've come to the conclusion that it has to be an Elder God expansion.

    Azshara in all likelyhood serves an Elder God. Based on her proximity to the place where they're bound and her immense power, she'd be a prime target for them. That said, Ozumat is described strictly as 'Fiend of the Dark Below' and is working for Azshara to capture Neptulon. This implies that either:

    A) Azshara is working for an Elder God.
    B) Both of them (Ozumat and Azshara) are working for an Elder God independent of one another.
    or
    C) Ozumat *WORKED* for an Elder God, but was bent to Azshara. The least likely, considering an Elder God's power versus Azshara's.

    is true. In addition, the lore scroll from the Taurens that describes how the first Taurens "...hearkened to dark whispers from the deep beneath the world." and were corrupted, which lines up very closely with the Blood Elves landing and going mad in Tirisfal, as well as it would explain the 'Dark Below' title selection. However, the Elder Gods are also technically more powerful than the titans (LinkL www[dot]wowwiki[dot]com/Old_Gods#The_Ordering_of_Azeroth : "In the novel The Sundering, it is hinted that the Old Gods are more powerful than the Titans, including even Sargeras. It is said that they are extremely powerful and that the combined might of many Titans are required to subdue them. It is also stated that if they are freed, even Sargeras will plead for peace of death. This is further supported by their statement that little effort is needed to destroy Sargeras and turn his Burning Legion into their minions.""), and their actual forms are quintessential to the preservation of Azeroth since their 'Curse of Flesh' had been woven so deeply into the fabric of the world.

    Thus, it's likely that we won't be fighting an ACTUAL Old God, but another avatar like Yoggy or C'thun. And Azsahara will not be the Penultimate boss for the expansion, but more likely a catalyst like it has been suggested in a few posts before me. We'll likely enter through the lake in Tirisfall (That area has been un(der)developed for some time now).

    Interesting side thought: If landing there forever ago drove the High Elves that later became Blood Elves insane because of an evil entity (NOT an old god, according to blue posts), whatever it was could have just as likely corrupted Arthas, which would give a direct link between the Scourge and the Old Gods, as Arthas might have been secretly manipulated to get a hand in the Legion's pie.

    .... which you posted in the other thread, this being the second of three images, the first one having read "The Darkness Below" until you removed it quickly and photoshopped it down to "The Dark Below," likely when you suddenly realized you'd gotten the name wrong. The original image with "The Darkness Below" was screenshotted and has been reposted in that thread. Please don't troll us.

    C'thun is based on Cthulhu,
    Yogg-saron is based Shub-Niggurath,
    Y'shaarj is based on Nyarlathotep,
    N'zoth is based on Yog-Sothoth

    So within the context of WoW, it is speculated that the planet Azeroth is a titan prison built around the entity Aze'roth whose manifestations are the Old Gods and over the years the Old Gods have seeped-deep into the crust of Azeroth almost fusing with it. Hence, their destruction would mean the destruction of the crust of the planet which would lead into the releasing of Aze'roth etc.
    Which of his books do I need to read to get a feel for these old Gods?

    Wonder what the odds are on 'The Dark Below' actually being the next expansion for SC2 - since you'd expect that would probably come out around the same time as the D3 one (half way between 5.4 and the next WoW expansion).

    On the new Battle.Net launcher Beta application,
    when you click on the WoW or StarCraft II tab it will show up in grey text "Upgrade Available".
    But when you click on the Diablo III tab the text does not appear.

    I have all my games up to the latest expansions,
    maybe "The Dark Below" it related to either WoW or SC II?

    SC II next expansion is Legacy of the Void.

    and the d3 exp is reaper of souls

    wow has a tendency to hint toward 2 expansions ahead. so if ozumat was in cata referring to the dark below, then this very well could be the next wow expansion

  17. #677
    "Dark Below" seems too simple for D3, everything you kill in D3 is pretty much "below" and in the "dark".

    Also, "Ozumat, the Fiend of the Dark Below".
    Supposedly, there is an old god somewhere under water.

    Nope. If this is legit, it's WoW. Blizz officially announced "Reaper of Souls" as their next Diablo 3 expansion.
