Azeroth is a Titan Baby

[The Penguin]

Not to Necro, but according to the latest Lore book.. It essentially states that Azeroth is a baby Titan.

Only Mad King Dryst and Iscalio could of predicted such a thing. Congratulations mate.

i'd like to see the titans come back after legion. World of Warcraft : Return of the Titans

it'd be like we're killing our own creator, or like a son killing a father.

[Tenjen]

Though i think algalon wasnt there to "kill thebaby" just cleanse the system so it stays safe and restart the immune system back into working order.

Yogg even tells us we are all going to die on this "miserable little seedling" after we kill him

Amazing prediction though, 3 years!

Way to ruin player background and ambition. Or "ok, how can we kill it?".

[Deleted]

internet so powerful thing, you can find answer for everything now!

[Hardwing]

Am I the only one worrying what might happen once the Titan wakes up?

I mean does Azeroth shatter like Draenor? Do all players get absorbed into the new Titan?

Edit:
Nvm evidence is: http://media.mmo-champion.com/images...leSample-6.jpg

Also is Azeroth an egg and the Titan inside? For all we know Titans are anthropomorphic. As I understand the text, the anthropomorphic appearance may simply be a manifestation of a 'world-soul', which is what truly makes a titan a titan.

This theory isn't really new.

It's quite obvious that azeroth is or contains something special, which is very important for the endgame between creators (pantheon. naaru, titans etc.) and destroyers (old gods / elements / legion).

Spoiler for those who haven't got past the titan runestones or haven't heard the Wrathion PTR files.
Upon bringing Wrathion the Thunder King's Heart, he eats it, at which point he gets posessed and speaks in mogu voice:

WE HAVE FALLEN. WE MUST REBUILD THE FINAL TITAN. DO NOT FORGET.

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7669167260

Many of the unresolved storylines suggest the presence of at least two remaining opposing entities, next to the burning legion.
Maybe the final titan (Algalon, Wrathion and the plots around Ulduar, Uldum, Uldaman) and the final old god (N'zoth).

Azeroth may be, indeed, some sort of incubator for the final titan and therefore some sort of super weapon against the forces of chaos and destruction.

[solarfallz]

Is it gonna hatch like the moon in that Doctor Who episode? Are all the monsters on Azeroth actually giant immune system cells? SAVE US, DOCTOR

[Osmeric]

This sounds like a plot element from Marvel's "Earth X" series (the Earth being an incubator for the Celestials).

[Gheld]

Blizzard's writers think they are being all cool and edgy and meta with this... but when you boil it down...

Oh joy, Azeroth is a fetus. That's schizo, not meta.

[dippinsawse]

The way it's worded doesn't necessarily mean that Azeroth ITSELF is a titan. The book as far as we know just states that at its core it contains the spirit of a titan. That *could* mean that the planet itself is a titan but it could also mean that the titan is just growing inside of the planet.

[seni]

That'd be one hell of a plot twist.

But I don't see it happening. For one, the Old Gods were seemingly present for a long time before the Titans came by.

A recent Chronicle preview has canonized and made concrete the nature of the Old Gods; they are extra-terrestrial parasites that impacted Azeroth, fought the Primordial Lords, raised the N'qari (Faceless) and Aqir, built giant black citadels, and eventually subjugated the Elemental Forces to fight for them. Y'Shaarj was the strongest and the only one to be vanquished (which poisoned the southern reaches of Kalimdor Unbroken), at which point the Titans realized they could not kill the Old Gods without destroying the world-soul within the Planet (Elune most likely).

If old gods cant be killed safely then what did we do with C'thun and yogg saron? Whats their story now? are they done or will they come back?

Whats the relationship between Narru and Titans? Were Narru created by Titan also? There are many Narru among us now so how do we know so little about them?

[Rivin]

We simply destroyed a part of their physical forms. The images in the Chronicle show that they're actually gigantic--what we saw was just a very small piece of their true bodies. They will likely recover in time, unless we figure out how to do what the Titans did to Y'sharaaj (and even he was still able to manifest as the Sha after his death).

[Deleted]

I always liked the Azeroth = Azathoth theory.

Largely based on the fact that azeroth and the well of eternity are unique in the universe
and C'thun = cthulu
yogg'saron = yog'sothoth
etc.

Azeroth itself is not a Titan, but the core of the world is. Apparently Titans are born from worlds being created.

I also love that it states they do NOT live in void(as in the ones on Azeroth are tangibly here) contrary to what the little fan fiction boys kept saying.

The TITANS could not kill them safely because the titans are huge. We killed both of the old gods we killed by assaulting their brain directly. It's like when you have a tick embedded on someone. The titans would have tried to rip the tick out like someone ripping a tick out with their hands where the whole suffocation or matchstick method makes the tick retract its legs and recoil upon death.

They do NOT have non physical forms. Chronicle is pretty much solidifying that so far. They are parasites that landed on the planet. We killed their brains which means we killed them. Also Blizzard has countlessly said the two we killed are 100% dead and not just partly dead.

Elune is a Naaru caretaker of the titan baby.

Y'sharaaj has non-physical forms.

And where did Blizzard say that C'thun and Yogg-saron are dead?

Edit: Also we never fought C'thun's brain, only his eyes and stomach.

But then why is it the final Titan? There are countless other planets out there. Isnt it possible the Titan might be corrupted by the old gods in Azeroth?
