What is that?

If that's legit, then it's a neat find.

Could we expect a title like "Storm of the Tides"?

"Taking place after the climactic events of Shadows of Argus, World of Warcraft: Before the Storm tells the story of what awaits the heroes of the Horde and the Alliance in the wake of their struggle against the demonic Burning Legion."

Bolvar is the Scourge's Keeper. They're not lost in chaos or running around Northrend uncontrolled: He is keeping them contained by his will and the Helmet of Domination.

If KT started screwing with the Scourge, as in trying to take them from Bolvar, he'd be swarmed by boatloads of undead.

I don't think KT is stealing scourge, I think he's making his own undead in Northrend.

Just as viable - still a good reason for Bolvar to wake up. The question still remains though, why would the Scourge work with demons and the void (and possibly Wrathion) to attack Chromie? If KT is working with Wrathion or the Void Lords, perhaps he could use the void to make his "new scourge" immune to Bolvar.

The question remains though - why would the undead attack Chromie?

Through his uncle' brother' son.

Someone called?

Golden + Storm = Jaina. Jaina has the Thunder Kings powers.

I'd like to remind everyone that the Kul',tiras horse is one of TWO mounts. and the other is a raptor. Considering there seems to be an alliance and a horde mount here, I'm assuming not all of Kul'tiras will be bad: this lines up with what has been said about Jaina not being a villain. Why else would we get two faction mounts?

Yeah if I had to guess SOME of Kul'tiras joins the Old Gods. Be that the Ghost Pirates or the Twilight's Hammer or just general void nonsense.

But the main city itself remains (or is liberated into being) the Alliance hub.




The Raptor is more interesting to me, since Zandalar joining the Horde would be a major about face.

Next exp will be leaked from a non-english speaking place, like it always does.
Everything else is people just guessing/playing around.

[Fahrad Wagner]

Oooh, oooh my turn to guess an expansion name!

"Storms of Kul Tiras"

Because before the storm and stuff.

The Bird could be onto something.

[Azalar]

The question remains though - why would the undead attack Chromie?

It's Nozdormu/Murozond pulling the strings in the background. Who else would synchronize four AUs with different threats to unleash an attack on Chromie at once?

[MabusGaming]

Finally something legit we can go off of now lol

[Deleted]

Well a new book it seems. But weren't we expecting one about the troll wars?

well if zanadalar play a part in south sees, theres your troll book

[Fahrad Wagner]

well if zanadalar play a part in south sees, theres your troll book

So two new books? I'd love that.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Oooh, oooh my turn to guess an expansion name!

"Storms of Kul Tiras"

Because before the storm and stuff.

I'll agree with you on that.

[Deleted]

So two new books? I'd love that.

no, i mean if this book IS the troll book, then it could still tie in with south seas

[Shadochi]

Golden + Storm = Jaina. Jaina has the Thunder Kings powers.

Hopefully with ths book, book Jaina becomes canon ingame Jaina.

Also confirms that Golden was probably involved in the story of the expansion.

Reminder that Golden few weeks ago became a Blizzard's worker. I guess they want her to write many books about female characters.

If KT is working with Wrathion or the Void Lords, perhaps he could use the void to make his "new scourge" immune to Bolvar.

So the Burning Legion is broken without Sargeras in charge. But the Demons are still a thing. They were a thing -before- Sargeras set up his Burning Legion. Without him in control, they'll turn to their other masters, like Dreadlords, for direction. Wrathion could, absolutely, be in league with a Dreadlord. And since the Dreadlords created the Scourge, they could work with Kel'Thuzad to make stronger undead.

Wrathion could be working for the Void directly, and used his interactions in Cata and MoP and such to try and misdirect us into thinking it was "Only" his father in league with the great dark beyond. With Sargeras out of the way ('Cause he directed us at the Legion) the demons can now be torn from the Legion to serve him, and thus the Void Lords.

So KT works with Dreadlords to make more Undead, possibly smarter and absolutely stronger) and they work with Wrathion to attack Chromie.

Alternatively, if they're all independent, it may be that Chromie is going to do "Something" in the future that impacts all three groups in a negative way.

Alternatively, Bolvar is in control of the Scourge attacking Chromie and has fallen to the Void through the whispers of the reawakened Yogg Saron.
