A possible direction for the future of Warcraft

[Raevene]

This is partly based on a fan theory, but this would be an interesting direction for future Warcraft expansions to take.

The recent Warcraft Chronicle book gave us more information about the Void Lords and how they are the true main antagonists of the Warcraft universe - a fear of the corruption they can bring about is what caused Sargeras to create the Burning Legion, as he felt that the only way to stop the threat from the Void Lords was to destroy all life in the universe.

What the Void Lords do is send their minions (which we know as the Old Gods) hurtling through space in search of planets containing Titan souls - for lack of a better term, some planets are essentially Titan eggs - of which Azeroth is one. The Old Gods are attempting to corrupt the Titan, which is why it is important that we kill them.

Now we are way too weak to defeat the Void Lords, as is Sargeras and the Burning Legion. However, even though we are at war we do have the same end goal. This is where the fan theory comes in - what if we were to team up with the Burning Legion to take down the Void Lords? One way I could see this happening is if we can finally put an end to the Old Gods on Azeroth, and help to birth the Titan soul incubating inside the planet. Perhaps this Titan could defeat Sargeras and install itself as a new leader of the Burning Legion, one committed to bringing an end to the Void Lords rather than destroying all life in the universe.

Now recently we have seen that Bolvar is active and still keeping the Scourge contained. What if Bolvar could also lead the Scourge into battle?

Imagine an end game in Warcraft where the armies of Azeroth unite with the Scourge and wage war on the Void Lords with the full might of the Burning Legion and the new Titan fighting with us.

Blizzard could very well take the game in a wildly different direction, but this is the way I would do it personally.

At first I thought this might be a good direction, but then I realized - what would happen when we all come together and (IF) we defeat the Void Lord?

We will still have each other to deal with. Back to square one.

killing the old gods makes a rift joining our universe with another...


enter Baal, Diablo, etc..

this was already kind of foreshadowed/hinted with both Anduin and Illidan

Anduin old/bearded (in his comic as well as Velen short story), leading a huge combined army against something terrible evil, Velen by his side

Illidan transformed/partly holy, also one of the commanders/leaders of this army

the something is implied to be the Void/VLs rather than the Burning Legion



however this doesnt necessarily mean a team-up with the Legion

I guess there are going to be a lot of MoP's and WoD's in between.
And there needs to be much more exposition to what void lords are, because if you aren't a lore geek/read/heard of chronicles you don't really know who they are.

Working with the Legion? not a chance. Even Sargeras didn't tell them the real goal, because they're all mostly a bunch of piece of shits. The Legion only follows him because of his threat to permanently kill them and even then, he still had to lie and tell them that they're gonna conquer the universe and be gods and shit.


Majority of the Legion is most likely gonna get taken over by the Void Lords, maybe through N'zoth or another unforeseen way.

Warcraft 40k incoming.

We dont need the Legion. The VLs have the Void, we have Illidan, Anduin, and the Light. No need for sadistic demons.
