    I must've missed something, how did the updated race pages give void vs light more traction?

    By the way, I'm laughing so hard if Dragon Isles isn't the location for the next expansion and it's something completely different yet somehow related to Dragons. They perverted the South Seas expansions with the Battle for Azeroth theme, so let's just wait and see what's their twist for the Dragon stuff.
    The Void Lords have been a part of the game since TBC, did you not play TBC? One of the main races of TBC were the Ethereals, whose homeworld was devoured by Dimensius the All-Devouring, a Void Lord.

    Chronicles merely revealed that the Void Lords, such as Dimensius, are the original creators of the Old Gods and the nemesis of the Titans.

    Finally, in Legion, Alleria Windrunner would become the first mortal in the history of the Cosmos to successfully defy the whispers of the Void Lords.

    Azeroth has always been the principal battleground of the Cosmic conflict. Already in MoP it was revealed that Azeroth was the "final Titan". So this is hardly surprising. All Cosmic powers want the Titan that is within Azeroth for their own ends, and recently N'Zoth the Old God was almost successful in taking control of the World Soul for the Void.

    I expect the Void Lords and the AU Naaru (Naaru of the Lightbound) to make their move once the Janitor is out of the way, an opportunity would present itself with the defeat of both Fel (Legion) and Death (Shadowlands).

    Again, NE theme doesn’t match the overall theme. At what point were the NE directly involved with the Void or the Black dragon flight? Further, the overall design is too sterile for the Night Elves. NE at the core are forest based. Nothing in that border reflects that. There should be branches, leaves, etc. expressed, but there isn’t.

    You really cannot compare the Void Lords lore from TBC to the lore about the Void Lords established in the last decade or so. And yes, they have been properly teased a long time ago, which is the benefite in this case (and the reason why I compared it to the Jailer).

    Void Lords in general will either be retconned again or we will never face them, as they would literally be the end of Warcraft.

    The point is that we knew since TBC that in the domain of the "Shadows" (before WoD started using the term "Void") there were both the Old Gods, who are fleshy behemoths, and the Void Lords, who are basically shadowy elementals/ghosts. We also knew that one of these Void Lords was powerful enough to devour an entire homeworld.

    This cannot be compared to the Janitor, who didn't exist before Shadowlands. The Void Lords did exist before Chronicles, the Chronicles merely gave them a bigger spotlight and "retconned" them into the creators of the Old Gods, if you will (before Chronicles, it was assumed that no one created the Old Gods, they were simply born naturally...).

    Of those, only Alleria aligns with the void, but she doesn’t align with the old gods. Also the border doesn’t strike me as “Void”. Sylvanas is gone, and Vareesa really doesn’t have anything to do with either theme. Again, I can see how someone would say it looks like a bow, but given the general design of WoW logos, a streamlined appearance would lend itself to that shape.

    She uses the Void, but isn't aligned with it. It would be like saying that Demon Hunters and Warlocks are aligned with the Burning Legion because they use fel and demons

    There’s a few leaks that had us leveling in revamped zones and then going to dragon isles

    I mean aligned as in she uses it's powers. Sort of like how a Burning Legion expansion would incorporate Illidan because he uses demonic power. That said, she doesn't have a connection with either Old Gods or Dragons. Especially not enough to represent a border around an expansion dealing with both. She is far more aligned with the cosmic void, as are the other void elves.

    Beyond all of that, what's is cracking up top in the logo? Azeroth, a titan. What is currently under threat from the Old Gods after being weakened/injured by the jailer? A titan. Who imprisoned the Old Gods and empowered the dragons to protect Azeroth from the hour of twilight (notice the twilight in the background) the Titans.

    It is worth noting that, in the Ren'dorei player intro, Alleria Windrunner cites the Dragons as an example of creatures who could not resist the whispers of the Void and were broken.

    Maybe she could appear in a Dragon expansion to mock and roast the Dragons, like the Queen she is

    Perhaps, but that isn't nearly enough to theme the entire border of an expansion after her. I'm sure we will see her though, given the aftermath of Shadowlands, and more than likely as a set up for the expansion AFTER 10.0.

    I know it’s fake but I mean it more as “hey let’s compare the two to see if it helps figure out the authenticity”

    I think that an expansion about the Light and Void would likely feature motifs and imagery that allude to both Alleria and Turalyon, like an arrow intertwined with plate armour.

    I don't think this imagery would be in a logo about the Dragon Isles, which is why that leak is fake.

    That it doesn't match the theme is irrelevant. They're quite clearly bows.
