The Hour of Her Third Death - Not Sylvanas

[Ryon21]

"At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming."

First thing, when Il'gynoth says "She will usher our coming" could it be like a pre-expansion event? We fight her and then she tells us that the Old Gods are coming.

Second, I've found that Sintharia or Sinestria, a female Black Dragon, is still more or less active in the world thanks to a quest, The Twilight Master, added in Legion. She was the mate of Deathwing and was corrupted by him thus making her a slave to the Old Gods. Also she has died two times, once in the Night of the Dragon novel and last in the Bastion of Twilight in Cataclysm. Maybe she could be resurrected again and we could fight her. In her last moments before her third death, Sintharia could tell us about the arrival of the Old Gods thus the next expansion.

Thoughts?

It's all speculation at this point, half of the stuff may have already happened or it may not happen at all. Literally anything that could even be metaphorically a "death" that has happened 3 times to a female character is a candidate.

It's probably Azeroth. With all the fuss around Nazjatar, Naga coming back...

Azeroth got " two deaths " > 1st = The sundering. 2nd = The Cataclysm.

' Her Heart is a crater, and we have filled it ' + 'At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming.'

The Maelstrom is named " The Heart of Azeroth ". Since the Sundering it is indeed a giant Crater. It was also a crater when Aman'thul ripped Yshaarj out and created a giant wound in Azeroth.

For now, the Maelstrom is not " filled " since water is swallowed into it.

But if Azshara raise Nazjatar from the depth " She will usher in our coming " , It will cause another Cataslysm, aka " A third Death " for Azeroth.
Nazjatar taking place around or near the Maelstrom could " fill it " too.

When Aman'Thul ripped out Y'Sharaj and created the wound, wouldn't it be its first death?

It's a wound, not a cataclysm.
To compare it with the sundering, where more than half of the continent sunk and when the volcanos erupted and the world was plunged into a darkness of Ashes that only Elune could counter, it was " only a fleshwound "

Hmm Sintharia was speaking to some remaining Twilight Dragon from beyond the grave in Legion, so she could fit.

according the Chronicle, I thought it gravely wounded the titan.

[Perkunas]

Onyxia is coming back!

Sure, but it was not deadly. I'm sure the Sundering and the Cataclysm were a bit more " deadly " and might put Azeroth on the verge of agony with nobody behind ( like titans ) to heal her like they did with the well of eternity

What about mudmugs liver ? Given what he injects i wouldn't be surprised if he already had transplant.

OT: Given the fact that this phrase is more or less open for interpretation bullshit, we can fit surprising amount of female characters, especially since we don't even know if "death" is real death or just something more abstract. That being said, im pretty sure it will be about jaina, especially given that she gets alot of focus now.

It's not Sylvanas, that wouldn't make sense as she's not even remotely important to the old gods.


How about Chromie? She only technically died twice and then the player character save her before the third if I remember correctly.
And she controls time itself which is incredibly important.

I've seen the quests and you're totally right. It is more posible that it could be Chromie, especially after having her own patch quests. Looking forward to the Gamescon or Blizzcon.

Sylvanas brings Helya back to life as per their unknown pact and then Odyn kills Helya again.

So "At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming." & "The lord of ravens will turn the key." both in the same event.

I like this. One I hadn't thought of.

One theory I've posted in past about "Her heart is a crater and we have filled it." Heart of Azeroth is the shaman order hall atm. As part of pre-expansion story, Twilight's Hammer attacks the order hall and we find that the new leader is Magatha. It would be one of those double entendre deals where "her heart" refers to both Magatha and Azeroth at the same time.

Tbf I would expect a climax next xpac. Maybe said death happening in 8.something as an event for patch/tier content.
As for what has happened during the campaigns in the various orders this expansion I would be surprised if they wouldn't fit future lore needs.

[MikeBogina]

Chromie gonna die while we're gone!

[kenagi]

Next expansions final boss will likely be Azshara. When we will kill her, it will be her second death. There will be one last breath of life (whatever causes it old god related), her final action will result in ushering in the old gods for another expansion. Her third death.
