SPOILERS: Shadowlands Lore Thread

[Mungho]

It seems to me too convenient that suddenly Kyrian's that have pledged themselves to the Jailor have ways to swoop from the crack in the air, travel all the way from Icecrown to every major city, pass through solid objects without any form of reaction or resistance, have chains that can render the victim magicless, skillless and helpless and easily leave back to the gap in a speed of a spaceship. It's just too convenient to try and explain the ridiculous situation. No army from any villain before could do that Deus Ex Machina. Why not simply kill them on the spot since they have invinsible chains and are so fast that there isn't any reaction at all.

It would have been more believable if let's say they came out of a hole in reality and captured them and then went back through portals.

It's that way because it's what they need to make their story work. Doesn't matter if it makes no sense or violates suspension-of-disbelief, if they need, say, King Terenas Menethil to raise from the dead and fly around Azeroth on the backs of two sharks while firing a cannon that comes out of his crotch, Blizzard will force it in to the story.

Still it doesn't make it right.

I know, I agree completely. But at this point, I don't think the story can ever recover.

OP underlings for an OP Villain Sue. Balanced, as all things should be.

[Super Dickmann]

Everything surrounding the abduction is stupid, from the way it's done - if it really is Kyrians flying off with them, to Sylvanas not just killing the abductees after capturing them since it's not like those who follow the bait will know if they're alive or not and that directly serves her goals to needing bait at all. Surely blowing up the sky should be bait enough. If any of the minor elements belong on the chopping block, this is it.

It's like they all realize they're in a video game, and have to play their assigned roles to leave things for the player to do.

[Syegfryed]

they could have set a trap, like, when the leader is going for say quest, mission or meeting, they were ambushed by a bunch of death fuckers and they get captured, but i guess that would be too work and not viable in a story setting at all

we should just make they being abducted by spirits, that could totally kill then and other precious target, but we will just use this insane and overpowered ability that can win us the expansion

Wasn't sure if it had come up before, but it seems the Brokers in Maldraxxus have snagged themselves a Darkened Naaru they plan on using in the arena at the heart of the Maldaxxus zone:

And there is light Naaru in the Sanguine Depths that is being drained by Denathrius's henchman.

Those guys are very cool, they're like the Ethereals of SL. The best part of the expansion. Also, fuck Naaru.

Playable Ethereals and Brokers when Blizz???

Anduin obviously won't become corrupted. They aren't going to turn one of the most iconic Light users into a Void user. As well, there is no Void presence in the Maw. That place is strictly connected to Death.

That and flippantly making Anduin go void corrupted because reasons may as well be a boring retread of Arthas' fall from grace.

They're definitely up to something as well - almost every interaction you have with them, or are witness to them having with others, is suspicious. They're apparently also annoying the staff of Oribos half to death (no pun intended).

Seems there's bits and pieces of the Pre-Event floating around, anyone else seen anything?

It appears he's a World Boss in the pre-patch event, and is more or less conclusively slain:

[Nagawithlegs]

Unsurprisingly, Tyrande kills him to show off the Night Warrior powers and mirror the events of Darkshore.

[Traveler Voltin]

can calia die?
also i doubt he is dead. people thought he was dead before and look what happened.

[Arrashi]

can calia die?

Not to mention with tyrande being the one to deliver killing blow, he will be up and running in no time.

[Ardenaso]

I thought Nathan was the one being bullied by the Farstriders?

He may well be dead, but he's also going to the Maw in death, where Sylvanas and the Jailer have power. So even dead, we may well not have seen the last of him.
