Well she definitely is that. I am like 99.9% convinced that she’ll steal the dagger we sealed N‘zoth in after Nyalotha (happens in 8.3.5) to do some crazy sh*t with it and bridge into the next expansion. And I think that’s exactly what N’zoth planned and wanted to happen.

I know that Dragon Islands are the hot theory today, but I would still love to see the death expansion.
My own little head cannon was the Azeroth is dying (the heart didn’t do the trick) and Sylvanas makes a deal with death to save her. She’ll give death a bunch of souls, including N’Zoth, in exchange for Azeroth. Kind of gets at that morally gray thing blizzard liked to suggest. All that “you’re nothing” stuff is a sign of Sylvanas’ guilt. Then the one who figures out her plot is “The Bolvar.” Ice crown becomes the central city for the expansion where we go into the shadowlands through his portal. Maybe even have all the zones be shadow versions of existing zones, so maybe we get more than 5-6 zones.
But... I expect dragon islands...
Wrathion appearing again makes me think of Dragon Isles xpac
Yeah. I'm really hoping it's not Dragon Isles. Getting a reveal cinematic or just features trailer with Bolvar coming out of the iceblock would build massive hype. Dragons just aren't interesting anymore. Bunch of overgrown lizards who get corrupted as soon as a demon or Old God says boo.
The only thing ot be gained from it is hte knowledge that Blizzard has more or less exhausted their supply of believable locations to set an expansion or patch. Meaning pretty much all future expansions have to be set on some variation of a world revamp, whether that means going at it like WoD with Draenor, or a Cata-style revisiting of an old location.
Fingers crossed for EK/Kalimdor world revamp for 9.0 though. Would breathe a lot of new life into the game.
Dragons could carry it
You have lich King vs red flight
Bronze dealing with infinite
Green dealing with nightmare and the possibility of it's new leader being a tyrant
Black rebuilding and dealing with remaining twilight
Blue handling the scattered members and possibly an inner power struggle
Theres no such thing as "exhausted" their locations
Blizz is getting tired to explain to players that are places out there to be explored but due to faction war or big baddie the players didnt had the "chance" to fully explore azeroth and mark down every god damn landmass
ashes of azeroth
world revamp after failed re-origination
