You actually see several souls from other worlds. Droman Aliothe in Ardenweald was a bear-god from another world, one that was apparently destroyed by the Legion long ago. Several NPC's in Maldraxxus ponder the power of Azerothian heroes like the Maw Walker, Draka, and Vashj which would imply they hail from other worlds themselves.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Does that apply to all DH? I though it was mainly Illidan, as he is an actual demon (because of the quantity of demonic energy he consumed), but the PC DH have not consume enough to be in that state.

We also have the couple in Anderweald that state that they are from another planet and that they did too knew about Elune and saw her as a goddess
Well they look like they can walk through the shadowlands, or at least a part of it (I mean... its supposed that the DK players go into the Shadowlands to get their mount, but its obviously quite different, so maybe is just where the mortal plane and the shadowlands overlap?)
Souls aren't showing up because Arbiter is inactive and doesn't direct them to their proper realms. It has nothing to do with "souls not going to Shadowlands". Likewise, nothing has been said about Ysera being a new arrival. What was said is that she's one of the last arrivals prior to the drought. You know, the same drought that is constantly described as lasting for a while by the time we visit.
Yeah, but during the Maldraxxus attack on the Bastion, at some point the Maldraxxi necromancer resurrects a bunch of Kyrians. WTF is he connecting to their bodies at that point?
I have read every quest description in Bastion and still I have several questions about it all. I have kinda stopped reading in Maldraxxus because it just feels like Plaguelands on steroids with fat, angry warriors and I'm not really interested in it.
They are not doing a good job explaining everything. I fear we will have another "The Legion is infinite" moment.
Well, this "a single SL for all worlds and timelines" is dangerously close to WoD's "a single Legion across all timelines", so...
That's why we have stupid things like AU Draka in Maldraxxus. I mean, why should we care about her, other than her being Thrall's mom, but "not actually"?

I had to &$#@ing giggle at this, so true LOL
I had read that already but I don't know if that's "official" ? Or just something said once in an interview and repeated again and again ?
Because I don't see how this could even work. That would mean that, as all timelines/dimensions are dangerously close to each other, an infinite number of the same character will arrive at approximately the exact same time. Maybe "our" timeline is a bit special due to WoD shenanigans, but other than that, most of the infinite timelines will behave slightly the same.
Which means there shouldn't have had one Uther/Arthas for example, but more likely one billion dying at the same time.
There's the main problem, its a writing team, and not a writer. Its the too many cooks issue. Imagine if you wanted to write a book and had all these awesome ideas and your publisher was like 'here are 12 more writers to help write your book' who all had different ideas from yours :P
I said the exact same thing in another thread. They had a chance in WoD to do something with her and they still didn't make her interesting there either. They should have replaced her with Lady Vashj instead, I had way more emotion and feeling to seeing her again, especially when you see her for the first time and she makes clear that it was YOU who put her there. already there';s friction and intrigue and chemistry. It was Vashj and the absent minded Alchemist fellow who held me on more
Hell if they wanted to use an interesting former assassin, why not Van Cleef?

It is official, look at this:

Still, this explaination stems from WoD, its convoluted time travel, and its horrendous legacy that will ripple throughout the history of WoW for all years to come. So I'd just count it as yet another WoD shortcoming that would not have needed any further inspection if that mangled abomination of an expansion never happened.
I also am a bit skeptical of Draka. I don't really feel like she's Maldraxxus material, she kinda feels like a generic orc female badass like we have been having since Garrosh. Not to mention we already saw her in WoD. I swear that expansion is the root of all evil lol.
Death Knights go into the Shadowlands on several occasions without dying. Latest example would be Salanar during Legion who was inside the Shadowlands since WotLK.
We also get several table missions (Unholy Attainment) to harvest stuff from the Shadowlands
- A manipulator and traitor, Soulbinder Nyami wielded powerful shadow magic in life. In death, she is the perfect vessel for the Essence of Shadow. Harvest the essence from her soul in the Shadowlands.
- After the death of his son, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore was consumed by the thirst for revenge. Collect the Essence of Hatred from his soul in the Shadowlands.
- Grand Apothecary Putress was once a trusted advisor to Sylvanas. He deserved his end, but he may still prove useful. Harvest the Essence of Undeath from his soul in the Shadowlands.
This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.
Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.
