Shadowlands Cinematic - The Arbiter

So lame. All the people who whined about lore in BFA, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Shitshow imminent.

"There's a cinematic explaining how the machine of death broke." - Danuser
Well he wasn't wrong but I imagine anyone who thought the explanation was anything more than "It just did" is going to be disappointed.
Hahaha.

Edit: Got the two mixed up, that makes it even better.

It looks like one soul in particular broke death. Any ideas of which soul that was?

Maybe it was argus?

Argus /chars

this was a waste of time. it told us nothing important.

I wonder if the banshee scream when it was coming in was a clue?!?!

yep that was my gues too. one because of the colour two because of the size, and three the time line. that or its azeroth.

That was pretty boring to watch. Hard to be engaged when just being spoon fed information without context or a developed character to relate it to. It's like explaining how the Twinkie factory broke down. It's not interesting unless it's uncovered who was behind the sabotage that broke down the Twinkie factory.

Wait, a red soul broke her?

I still can't deal with the fact how similar to Khan Maykr Arbiter feels.

It was Argus mythic phase! lol

damn those red souls communists !

Don't worry, they'll release the next part in about 4 months once you hit revered with all reps.

The implication is pretty heavy that it was Argus, who turned red during his Mythic phase. The timeline checks out, he was a Titan of death, and also the only born Titan to be actually killed since... well, forever. Couple that with his soul being broken and tortured by the Legion which could have affected the Arbiter, and the Jailer expressing his interest in the soul of Azeroth, Argus is by far the most likely candidate now.

So, Ner’Zhul? Arthas? Xanesh? N’Zoth? Argus? Kil’jaeden? Gul’dan?

Presumably one of the "infinite" afterlives that every soul goes to. Anything with a soul runs through the Arbiter.

To expand on that, Argus was being tormented by Sargeras, who was under Natherizm influence... who are probably servants of the Jailer or Sire. It all kind of adds up, as if they wanted us to actually kill Argus.

Xavius? If he could corrupt the Emerald Dream what's to say he couldn't corrupt the Arbiter? All that corruption might have went with him.
