More 'eternal ones' per realm?

[Highlord Hanibuhl]

So Blizzard stated that the Eternal ones are on par with the titans...
And they also stated ingame that the Winter Queen calls Elune her sister.

Now the Eternal Ones in the Shadowlands are the Eternal Ones of the realm of Death.
The Titans, although being omnipresent, could be the Eternal Ones of the realm of Arcane (this being their power)
This would then mean that Elune would be (one of) the Eternal One of the realm of Life.

If this would be the case, then we would have a ton more Eternal Ones.

Heck, you could even say that the Void Lords would be the Eternal ones of the realm of Void!

Could this be the case or am I trying to wrap my head around the messed up lore too much>?

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Well the Shadowlands are "infinite" and we've only visited the big 4 zones. It would stand the reason the many "infinite" realms of the Shadowlands (as well as the countless more zones being created every second) would have an Eternal One.


Or, unless, the rank of Eternal One is that of the prime hierarchy of the Shadowlands as a whole, with the big 4 zones serving as the most important ones that are essential to keeping the Shadowlands chugging on... and all other "minor" realms are insignificant in that grand scheme.

[StationaryHawk]

Yes, it's already known that the First Ones created a pantheon to embody each of the cosmic forces.

[AwkwardSquirtle]

That's definitely the implication, yes. Does beg the question what's going on with the Legion though. Did the Fel Titans not have anything to say about Sargeras claiming their people for his burning crusade? Was he just allowed to be a face of operations while they blew things up behind the scenes? Did they all die in a freak gasoline fight accident aeons ago?

The real answer is, Sargeras and the BL were created decades before any "Cosmic Pantheon and Forces" crap, so thats why we havent seen them yet.

However, that aside, they have been mentioned:
I forgot which one, but an ingame book in Legion mentioned certain "Fel Lords," that even the BL was too afraid to call upon. Seems pretty likely that they are the Pantheon of Disorder (even matches with the Void Lords in name).
As for why they didnt care about the BL, it could be somewhat explained that its just in their nature not to care. They are beings of pure chaos, so it could be said that they just dont care about anything, least of all an organized army. They just float around in the deepest parts of the Nether and shoot Fel at everything close to them. Its a shitty explanation, but better than none at all.

[Golden Yak]

Legion lore mentions a prison world called Terratus where rebellious demons were imprisoned. If there's something like a Pantheon of Disorder, they were probably cast there by Sargeras when he started conquering demons and building the Burning Legion.

If this would be the case, then we would have a ton more Eternal Ones.

They made the Titans to order the universe: Meaning those are the ones that separated everything into 6 groups in the first place.
A Pantheon of Death & A Pantheon of Life. But as far as we know only the Emerald Dream, the moral plane & the Shadowlands are "realms." The rest are abstracts, only fit for higher, lovecraftian beings.



But where do the Pantheon of Death reside? The Shadowlands; not the Death Sphere. That means the Pantheon of Life reside in its counterpart: The Dream, not the Life Sphere.

Void Lords. Naaru. Titans. Eternal Ones. Pantheon of Life. Sargeras. Each sphere already has representation.

I was wondering this too. If the Eternal Ones are the Pantheon of Death, who rules all the other infinite realms in the shadowlands?

I wouldn't be surprised if when we get to the chaoslands or whatever Sargeras has murdered the Fel Pantheon.

It's been confirmed since day 1 of SL release that while the Shadowlands are infinite, the only Eternal Ones that exist are the 5 we meet.

Maybe read up on the lore before starting to question what is already established.

The place you're looking for is the Twisting Nether. And it's possible that the very nature of Fel/Chaos/Disorder is so against the concept of things being ordered and controlled that they couldn't make a pantheon for them.

Pretty sure the twsiting nether is to the 'chaos land" what the dream is to the lifelands.

Is it 100% it's the equivalent of the Shadowlands for Fel?

If you look at the cosmic chart that was released for Shadowlands, it doesn't even show the Shadowlands or the Emerald Dream, they're just kind of indicated in the overall "realms" that exist. If you study the pictures, you can see that Disorder just has a bunch of Burning Legion dudes in it, and we know where they come from: the Twisting Nether. It's the realm where demon souls return do when demons die. The Twisting Nether is absolutely the 100% equivalent for the Shadowlands.

[Alanar]

Well the Shadowlands are "infinite"

They did a really poor job catching that ''infinite'' feeling. The Shadowlands feels very disconnected and since we are not able to fly out of any zone.. it feels very small as well. I don't even want to see those other realm.. more like lets gtfo of here.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Maybe read up on the lore before starting to question what is already established.

And yet, I didn't question anything. No challenge of the established lore was had.

If you became rustled because I applied the title of 'Eternal One' to potential other infinite leaders of other infinite Shadowlands realms... you need to relax big time. Being snide doesn't suit you.

I'm sure there are other lords of various realms, but not apart of the specific Pantheon of Death that rules over the Shadowlands as a whole.

Yay...

You get it, finally.

Get what finally? What are you even talking about.


Post specifically, not indirect and vague statements with no basis.

Nah, the 4 Covenants are comparable to companies or a government, they keep the basics of the Shadowlands running. While it's possible there might be more realms with a specific function, it has to be assumed the others are mere retirement homes for souls of various types of religion/worldview, zones of rest. They might have leaders or overseers, but wouldn't need an Eternal One.

The term you are looking for is "Pantheon". The Eternal Ones are the Pantheon of Death while the Titans are the Pantheon of Order which was confirmed long ago.
As of right now, we don't know if there is a Pantheon of Light, Life, Void and Disorder, but we can assume there is, although a unified council kinda goes against the whole purpose of Disorder.

Being an "Eternal One" is not a title, just like being a "Titan" is not a title.
Eternal Ones are basically the Titans for the force of Death.

And no, I became rustled because in order to have a meaningful conversation about anything the core concepts need to be clearly understood.
