Who's going to become what Aspect?

[Pockmark]

One of the more interesting lore rumours I've heard recently is the idea that Thrall is going to become the new Aspect of the Earth, replacing Deathwing.

This got me thinking, wouldn't it be neat if Blizz did this with all the Aspects? And if they did, what major characters would replace them?

My very quickly thought up list with zero justification.

Deathwing replaced by Thrall.

Kalecgos has already replaced Malygos, but it would be cool if Jaina Proudmoore replaced him.

Ysera replaced by Malfurian Stormrage.

Nozdormu replaced by Magni Bronzebeard

Alexstrasza replaced by Sylvanas Windrunner


What do you think?

*edit People seem to be stuck on the Sylvanas as Lifebinder idea. here's how I see it working. Blizzard developes a storyline focusing on the redemption of Sylvanas and all of the Forsaken. Being undead sucks, remember? At the same time, there will be a storyline concerning the coming death of Alexstrasza. These too storylines converge where Sylvanas absorbs the essence of the dying aspect, becoming it.

This single act frees her from the Curse of Undeath and causes a shockwave/chain reaction effect that cures every other Forsaken. Obviously, this scenerio would mean that the undead would no longer be a playable race, so it would have to be an end of game type thing.

No. I do not think mortals are strong enough to replace dragons... not now. Not ever.

[Zethras]

Magni bronzebeard is a statue atm, not sure if you noticed.

And no, it would not be cool if blizzard did this.

[Scifix]

Well, the aspects were given their powers by the titans, if they were to be replaced, the titans would have to appear and place the powers upon someone else

[Yahiko3]

No, these don't even make sense.
You'd give the Aspect of LIFE to an UNDEAD?
And what the hell does a dwarf mountain king have to do with time?
Also do the Badlands quest, it'll get you thinking about the "next" Aspect of Earth

[Wigman]

"Sylvannas the Lifebinder"...

thats a frightening thought..

[Jadugarr]

Alexstrasza replaced by Sylvanas Windrunner

Out of all your suggestions, this is most out-of-place. Aspect of life replaced by the most evil player faction leader who is undead to boot? What a joke.

[Blawkbuster]

other threads have said that Thrall will most likely be involved in raising the untainted black dragon egg from a badlands (i believe it's badlands) quest chain, rather than becoming the new earthwarder, also i don't like the idea of mortals, especially the current playable races becoming aspects, the next generation of aspects will remain within their respective broods.

Alexstrasza replaced by Sylvanas Windrunner


While we are at it why don't we promote the pope to the new leader of the gay rights comity... ow and while we are at it i heard that nelson mandela wants to become the leader of the BNP...

[George Costanza]

Nozdormu will most likely be saved in the CoT: raid. Because we need him to kill deathwing.

[Shadowism]

"Sylvanas the Unlifebinder"

Fixed it. Now all the skeletal dragons need to form their own flight.

Problem is though if you kill all the original aspects then bye bye azeroth imo. No mortal can ever replace a dragon and remember that the aspects were given their immense power by the Titans so Im not sure how this would work out

[Dark Side]

Most people misinterpreted what metzan had said. Thrall isnt becoming the Aspect of Earth, he is becoming the new tirion, helping us (and the dragon aspects) defeat deathwing. IMO, mortals are way too weak to accept the blessing of the titans, but if Metzan wants to, they will.

Currently:

Bronze Dragons(Time): Nozdormu will be replaced by Anachronos but most likely already have.
Blue Dragons(Magic): Kalegcos
Green Dragons(Safeguard): Ysera will stay as the aspect.
Red Dragons(Life): Not sure, might very well be changes depending on how this expansion ends.
Black Dragons(Earth): No idea, if you ask me Deathwing will finally break apart seeing as his current transformation is alot similar to Sargeras transformation. Not sure if he'll live or die but most likely live on though his aspect part will switch.
"Even Sargeras' titanic form became distorted from the corruption that plagued his once-noble heart. His eyes, hair, and beard erupted in fire, and his metallic bronze skin split open to reveal an endless furnace of blistering hate."
Which sounds very much like what Deathwing is currently going through only he tries to keep his outer husk together.

Nozdormu will most likely be saved in the CoT: raid. Because we need him to kill deathwing.

Doubt it. With all the subtle and less subtle hints in the game we can safely assume that he is the new leader of the Infinite Dragonflight

Some of you people have no imagination.

I don't think it would take much, other than some intervention on behalf of the titans to raise people to the level of Aspect.

As to my choices, yes, I agree Magni Bronzebeard is a weird choice, and yes I know he's a statue. I guess that kind of inspired the choice. He's a statue, or a crystal or whatever, so he's timeless? Yeah, ok it's a bad choice. But I didn't want to say Chromie.

As for Sylvanas the Lifebinder, I actually imagine a pretty cool scenerio where the act of Sylvanas becoming the Lifebinder permanantly reverses the undead plague amongst all the Forsaken. Kinda of like, the power of the aspect of Life cleansing Sylvannas causes a chain reaction that cures all of the undead.

What do you think?

Troll. GTFO.

Seriously, that's the most absurd thing i saw this week on the forums.
An undead, evil, selfish, arrogant and moronic elf replacing the Life Binder? REALLY?
What drugs are you on, buddy?

[Pockmark]

An undead, evil, selfish, arrogant and moronic elf replacing the Life Binder? REALLY?

She wasn't always undead and evil.

And redemption has always been one of my favorite themes.

Troll. GTFO.

Also, that's not helpful.
