Draka and more Drakas

[Mehrunes]

Perhaps Draka is so bland that her blandness transcends reality, making each AU's Draka the exact same.

[TickTickTick]

I remember Blizzard saying that basically our universe is the only real one, the prime timeline. And that other, alternative timelines are forming and vanishing constantly.

So I wonder what happens to those who just "vanish" with their timeline? And what happens to those who died before their timeline vanished / were already in SL when their timeline vanished?

Thanks and PLEASE don't make this thread into a "blizz can't tell stories"

So you ask a question but you don't want the actual answer ?
Makes no sense, sorry.

To my knowledge, WoD Draka is still alive currently in their timeline. Therefore, would not even be in Shadowlands. Please correct me if I am not remembering correctly.

But, keep in mind there are INFINITE planes to the Shadowlands. We barely go into "Da Other Side." There are more than the five we see and visit.

Even those realms are larger than we see too. So, alternate versions may just go to different afterlives. They may merge in the Afterlife ... we don't know.

They haven't really thought on the implications of the lore from Draenor and how it impacts the rest.

This may not be canonical but there's so little setting them apart that it might as well be.

Do you honestly attempt to question the lore which was subsequently violated on multiple occasions by its own creators?
Do you honestly attempt to apply logic here?
This is Billzord. They stopped trying in 2010.

Except, if you actually put in the time to research shit like this, they answer this exact question

Are you implying they tried during TBC?

[TheFirstOnes]

Yes. Essentially, because Time is a construct of order, realms such as the Nether and the Shadowlands + its denizens do not apply to the laws of Multiverse theory.

In the end they all merge into the prime one

First time reading that.

How... strange.

On one hand, it's a method that could make sense, seeing as the Arbiter is/was supposed to dictate where souls go and likely could have the power to shove a thread-soul into the Prime (who dictates which is Prime?).

On the other hand, if final death is a legitimate concern and the Prime of a character 'dies' in Shadowlands, what happens to the thread-souls who havent quite made it to Shadowlands yet?

Are they purged off, rendered into pure anima or do they run the chance of becoming the Prime?

When you blatantly disregard actual answers that were given, then yes there's gonna be a problem there.

There is only 1 real Alternate Draka made tangible by the magic of the bronze dragons, and she hasn't died yet. The others only exist in a Schrodinger's cloud of probability.

On that note, I'm pretty sure most named Orc female characters also merge into Draka for that exact reason.

Why are we derailing shit to meme out on how bland Orc Females are?

[kranur]

Most storylines that delve into multiverses are bad and barley make any sense. WoW's story turned very bad even before that. It's no surprise that it's a collection of garbage.

All it takes is a google search, btw.

Hi,
I am still confused how Draka can act like Draka if there are infinte Drakas all merged into one. How do the souls handle the memories?
This must be hella confusing.

Maybe i have overlooked this, but is this talked about anywhere ingame?

Because it is irrelevant to the story being told and because one shadowlands for the entire multiverse is stupid, there is no explanation and blizzard doesn't care. You are thinking just way to much for a simple game like WoW

This is the exact same thing that made the "There's only one Legion" such a monumental clusterfuck. Blizzard never learns.

Kinda missing the point here...

Also, there are an infinite amount of existing and possible Draka's. We only saw 1.

So, essentially, while there are an infinite amount of timelines, our timeline within the Physical Universe is the Prime one. Think of it like "Prime Earth" or some shit like that, ya know? Yeah, WoW's been playing the Crisis of Infinite Earth's shit since the Infinite Flight first did their stuff in TBC lol.

And so, as a result, whenever prime Draka died, all of her AU counterparts still live yes (As shown from WoD and Garrosh's newly made timeline), yet when they die, their AU souls go into the Shadowlands and merge with Prime Draka, since there is only 1 Shadowlands, the same way there is only 1 Legion and 1 Twisting Nether, etc.

I think we have a winner
