This isnt an 8.0 speculation thread, but rather a gathering of 8.0 facts, things that are accumlialted from various interviews, datamines and more:
What We *Know* is comming next expansion:
- Kul'tiras (By the map, is likley going to be a Continent, not just a single isle like some leaks claim)
- Dragons are Returning (Confirmed in an interview with Jessie Cox and Crendor with Ion)
- Void will be a major theme (Old Gods too most likley, given the 7.3 quest gears tentacle vibe)
- Possible return of the Twilight Hammer in a big way (Those robes remind me alot of the twilight cults robes)
- Jaina, almost 100% likley to be a major character, though not the main antagonist, infact its very likely she will be a redeemed villian this time round from blizzard choosing to claim all other versions of jaina (HS/HOTS) are *Non canon*.
- Assets from Kul'tiras in VERY early Legion as far back as launch reveal a new alliance ship,a Kul'tiras whitehouse (Untextured) and a model named Aegwynn's Tower (Untextured), Aegwynn is likely appearing in this expansion too, I suspect Jaina and Aegwynn will be involved alot, if i was to guess, its probable Jaina will become the next Guardian.
- Chromies Scenerio is relevent, events in it are apparently hinting to the next expansion (Again, Crendor/Cox).
- Possible hint to going to other worlds after Argus... Blizzard mentions after 7.3 that Argus could be used as a base for "Something else" (again stated in the crendor/cox interview).
So, in conclusion we have:
- Chromie
- Jaina
- Old Gods
- Kul'tiras, Probably a Continent
- Wrathion
- Aegwynn
- Void themes, possibly more planet traveling.
- Dragons are returning, probably the infinite dragonflight.

Nobbel does a playthrough of it, Wrathion is spotted in the scenerio at the Obsidian Sanctum I think? For some obescured reason, apparently hes been mentioned a few times in recent blizz interviews as having plans as ever.
Also, we have the comment by the dev saying "Jaina was pissed" when she left Dalaran, we dont know where she went though. However it is kinda obvious and with the jaina blizzcon art its very clear were getting an expansion reveal likely with her as the poster character.
Now:
The speculation things elaborated on:
Why Jaina will likely be the next Guardian of Azeroth?
Aegwynns tower, in Kul'tiras cannot be a coincidence, plus Aegwynn has been showing up more in ToS, its very likely when you put two and two together that blizzard plans to incorperate Aegwynn and Jaina into a situation together in some context.
Oh:
More news:
Turalyon and Alleria are comming with us into the next expansion
You can find this stated in ions recent 7.3 interviews at gamescom.
