    Cool [Speculation] 10.0 Leak Spoilers: Revenge Of SolGate

    The Scrolls of Lore website recently closed, and I suppose that got a few of our old users feeling nostalgic so they popped into the discord. A few of them chat with Blizz devs from time to time and apparently didn't learn their lesson from the WoD leak, so here's the summary from loose lips ya nerds.

    Fast Questions
    -No world revamp, they only plan to update zones 'as needed'
    -No new races in 10.0 but Nelfs get 'night fae satyr' and horde gets san'layn with venthyr looks
    -New class is 'Dragon knight' mail class, only two spec, DPS or heal, all races
    -There's no big timeskip, that was a misunderstanding from an interview, apparently they joke about it a lot
    -Next was already supposed to be Light/Void fighting over 'life' and then 11.0 would be 'Time', but the feedback on cosmic stuff made them decide to make the light/void stuff 'more grounded' so it's on azeroth and not in the 'lifelands' so it's all up in the air
    -No player housing
    -The big new thing is 'more player choice'
    -Pre-Expac event has Botani from WoD going crazy and trying to mulch people to turn them into energy for the planet to keep it from dying
    -Rather than having one big flying achievement, there's a different smaller one for each zone
    -Blizz is very happy with how keystones worked, and are gonna make them a timewalking thing too


    SL end stuff
    -We stop Jailor but Azeroth is starting to die from having her energy drained into the first ones machines
    -Pelagos tries to put the energy back but then the machines break because of the damage from our fight with Zovaal
    -The rift is closing so we have to leave soon but they don't close anything off in gameplay it's purely a lore thing to flavor the 9.2.5 patch
    -a devourer gets out of shadowlands and it's talked about as 'really bad' apparently devourers are gonna be 'the new void' after light / void stuff

    -Arthas is freed from Anduin's sword and says goodbye to Jaina and Uther before turning into a kid and running off to ghost Terenas
    -Tyrande tells Sylvanas to work forever fixing souls in the maw who don't deserve to be there
    -Bolvar stays in the Maw to keep an eye on Sylv and do the jailor's actual job, Taelia is all sad but is nursing anduin back to health

    -Tyrande and winter queen fix the nelf souls in the maw from Teldrassil with her night warrior power and cause a 'nightfae satyr' type allied race to spawn for alliance, some of the revived nelfs are even more faithful to Elune and others 'don't forgive her'
    -Giving up night warrior power and surviving 'weakened' Tyrande so she has to rest, to explain why we don't see her for awhile.

    -Kael and Sylv teach the San'layn and her loyalist dark rangers/forsaken venthyr stuff and they join the Horde to help forsaken and belfs, but also to 'balance Calia' who has some ominous lines about 'eternal light' cause death sucks

    -Pelagos swears he and the eternals will make the shadowlands 'a realm of choices'


    10.0 Stuff
    -Azeroth is dying but it's slow, thrall talks about how it's reminding him of Outland crumbling. Magni says Azeroth can't speak anymore, Basically a coma.
    -Anduin is still all traumatized and nearly shanks Wrathion when he shows up, Wrathion says he found a way to use the Dragon Isles to heal azeroth
    -The Dragon isles are floating islands that move, which is why mortals almost never find them
    -With azeroth dying the islands are slowly lowering, with the Black Dragonflight isle finally touching the sea and is the 'gateway' to the others
    -The islands are being invaded by light/void forces that both want to be the ones to 'heal' azeroth and gain influence over its power
    -The Aspects imbue some mortals with power to help fight back the invasions, this is where the new Class comes from
    -Turalyon wants to help the Light and Alleria wants to spy on both invasions

    -There's like, a whole bunch of new kinds of dragons that only live on the isles cause they went extinct elsewhere
    -The dragon isles has 'dragon kobolds' that guard the dragons and are super serious, apparently the ones in the game before were all cursed exiles
    -Dragons are 'evolved elementals' and every planet has them, ours are just special cause of titan blessings 'speeding up their evolution'

    -Malfurion helps 'channel a new aspect' for green dragons since, unclear whether they meant that Malf is doing the aspect thing like Thrall in Cata or whether he helps pick a new green dragon
    -Ethereals and Brokers are both doing jobs on the Blue Dragon island and players get to pick a side
    -Bronze island has Nozdormu 'lightbound' and then we make Murozond when we free him with void energy and he splits into a bunch of copies and escapes, apparently the one we kill in endtime was only a piece of him
    -Red Island has dragons being hunted by rebel dragonmaw that are voidcrazy from Twilight Highlands and the Horde have to kill them
    -Horde capital is the black dragon den where Deathwing got corrupted by old gods
    -Alliance capital is 'Tyrs secret base'

    -Odyn and the Valarjar are invading cause he thinks dragons can't do their job
    -Yrel will show up in a patch with AU Garrosh
    -There are arakkoa on both the light and void invasions that want to take the energy from Azeroth to fix Draenor
    -Anduin will do something with Xal'atah
    -Sire Denathrius is going to get Lightbound, the Dreadlords are split between serving him or trying to free him
    -Asked about Azshara and was told she's not in this expac cause 'she's not thinking about just one planet anymore'
    -The void is corrupting sky whales
    Twas brillig

    Immense if veracious.
    Kael and Sylv teach the San'layn and her loyalist dark rangers/forsaken venthyr stuff and they join the Horde to help forsaken and belfs, but also to 'balance Calia' who has some ominous lines about 'eternal light' cause death sucks
    This won't happen, but it should.
    Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

    Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.

  3. #3
    Stopped reading at San'layn. They brought them back solely to kill them all in BFA because they came up with an actual vampire race with some semblance of lore.

    Sylvanas getting spared but exiled to the Maw is what will probably happen. Bolvar staying in the Shadowlands is silly.

    Floating Dragon Isles is also likely.

    No follow up to Nelf and Forsaken is ridiculous.

    -Tyrande and winter queen fix the nelf souls in the maw from Teldrassil with her night warrior power and cause a 'nightfae satyr' type allied race to spawn for alliance, some of the revived nelfs are even more faithful to Elune and others 'don't forgive her'
    -Giving up night warrior power and surviving 'weakened' Tyrande so she has to rest, to explain why we don't see her for awhile.
    Tyrande also "gave up" the night warrior power but not really already, and she's doing fine. She won't be taking a break like Sylvanas and Anduin.

    Not sure if true, but I'd honestly love it - great concepts! (which probably means it isn't true).

  5. #5
    I like it.

    So where will the Dragon isles settle? no Silvermoon update?

    Finally a full forest elf race too. That will make some night elf fans ecstatic.

    I liike itt oo, seems the most realistic to date. No world revamp is confirms the wow is dying. It looks fun enough. Doesn't seem spectacular enough to attract a huge surge back to warcraftthough, even with a new calss and 2 new allied races

    Another stupid point: actually thinking Blizz had any plans for Lifelands after Shadowlands, when they set up many Azeroth plotlines in BFA.

    aren't you tired of writing this?

    Does that surprise you? So we got the Venthy and now we get a version of them for the horde..this was always going to come. We knew it.

    Looks like the new Venthyr race will take over the undead in Azeroth, either that or the eBon blade

    Yes, too many echose of this floating around, it seems very likely.

    Doesn't surprise me though, still, I'm sruethere is something. They probably feel the two new allied races are the follow up.

    Now this surprised me, I thought they would spin a new class out of this, or power up the night elves with it. But then do the night elves really need this with having both the Well of Eternity for arcane power and the World tree/Emerald dream for nature power ? That's really thier thing.. and Elune is a Goddess of Life which is basically tons of arcane and nature, with light and void.

    Also the night warrior seems more a void elf theme, so it wouldn't surprise me if it is not a big new thing amongst night elves and finds itself either continuing with void elves or connecting void elves to night elves. even though the power is gone.

    Venthyr being assigned to Azeroth is much more likely than a new OC race (San'layn but not really they look like Venthyr now!!). Also that means we have yet another Belf AR unless they have a new model.

    Doesn't surprise me though, still, I'm sruethere is something. They probably feel the two new allied races are the follow up.
    The Nelf racial page specifically mentions they are looking for a new home, it would be ridiculous if they put it off again when they bring it up so often even in Shadowlands itself. Especially when there are updated Nelf structures in the files.

    Enough of this is wild enough that it's not just "all the fanservice stuff" but not so wild that it's obviously fake. Nicely pitched, not sure if I believe you but it's well written.

    How? What do they mean by this?


    Player choice in quests? or more player options, like customisations, class skins etc? New glyphs for spells, even racials etc

    I would assume it means both customizations and story choices that actually change how the zone stories work.

    That would be very good if they pull it off. but I hope they don't put too much work into a feature that isn't appreciated by many. Players are far more appreciative of character customisations, and if you step that up to class and race-class customisations, things like heritage weapons, spells even class skins - that's going to be far more appealing than story choices. Even though story choices will be apprecaited if done well.

    Horde and Alliance are fighting...AGAIN?! This is basically a MoP copy
    Burning Legion...AGAIN?! This is basically a BC copy.
    Going to Outland...AGAIN?! This is basically a BC copy.

    They've been redoing expansions since WoD. This would actually check out completely.

    We should be able to quickly check this leak if we see Arthas turn into a kid during the Anduin cinematic. Which I hope doesn't happen.
