I don't play WoW anymore smh.
Okay, I haven't read up on the other Covenant stories in 9.1, but the Kyrian storyline is completed with all of the Uther and Paragon stuff that came with the build yesterday. Was it already datamined if the Necrolords choose a new Margrave?
Guess we were right when we said that 9.1 finishes and wraps up all / most of the Shadowlands' plots and Covenant stories. And with Arthas having a significant part in the Kyrian campaign, I am sure he'll make an appearance in 9.2.

The zones are basically fixed by the time of the raid and there isn't much build up to another realm of death. I think Northrend or the Gardens of Life being 9.2 is a worthy guess. Arthas being built up but not appearing for real seems like another Northrend tease.
And apparently that Northrend CGI image keeps getting taken down...
If the Gardens of Life are connected to the Emerald Dream as rumoured, they could just have them as a sub-zone within Northrend, the entrance being the Emerald Dragonshrine in Dragonblight. I guess a Gardens of Life story could make sense with Ysera being resurrected and the Red Dragonflight and Bolvar requiring a closure to their storyline - I just don't think it'll be a stand alone content patch.
And the leaked picture does get taken down?

Seems to me that all we really need is a definite hint for a Night Fae storyline and we have something for everyone to do in a future patchh, honestly.
Kyrians will try to find Arthas, Necrolords will find new Margraves, and Venthyr will look for Denathrius and Dreadlords in general.
Night Fae might be what connects us to the Gardens of Life or what have you.

I dunno about the Gardens of Life. Depends on how heavily they want to tie it into the Emerald Dream. Doesnt really need to be a whole new thing when we already have somewhat explored a life themed area. Just have us go around learning a bit about whether the Emerald Dream is connected to the Gardens of Life, or even if they are the same.

I really doubt the specific Covenant campaigns are continuing after 9.1 (unrelated to the existence or non-existence of 9.3). It just feels like all of them get wrapped up and then come together in the finale of 9.1. After that we're moving forward with one single Shadowlands' storyline. I just don't see them having a patch revolve around minor Covenant stories as the Kyrians seem to be de facto completely done by the end of 9.1. Not saying they can't bring up more stuff, but it feels like a closure and doesn't need to be reopened yet again in another patch in my opinion.

I mean I am saying this for weeks now I guess. I just think the Gardens of Life subplot that is brought up by Highlord or others here could very well fit into a Northrend content patch with the connections already existing in Dragonblight or even other zones (Sholazar etc.).

I think they will look similar to what they are looking like in this patch. Mostly everyone is involved, but distiinct questlines are rarely if ever limited to a specific covenant.
Arthas and Deanthrius specifically seems like far too important to leave to a single covenant.

The major Kyrian conflict ends in 9.1. Maldraxxus's last antagonists are dealt with in 9.1. Revendreth is basically complete as well aside from the Remornia being stolen, which can be finished in any area in any realm. Ardenweald is complete aside from the Drust being finished once and for all.
We get a ground mount, flying mount, two titles, two-three sets of armor, etc for each covenant. I really don't think there's any more to give here, the covenant system may very well be finished by 9.2.
Guess storylines like Denathrius and Arthas are big and important enough to involve all Covenants, that's what I meant with a single Shadowlands' storyline going forward. Necrolords couldn't care less about the next Paragon of Loyalty as it doesn't affect Maldraxxus or their Covenant, a Shadowlands-wide threat like Denathrius would indeed concern them, e.g. that's why all Covenants are involved.

I imagine the covenant system will keep going until the end, just with less and less specific rewards.
Besides just generally them keeping hte Renown system as it is handy for rewards I imagine they will have at least one more big covenant specific reward to incentivize not swapping.

Seems Elune could be part of a Life Pantheon or something related with the WQ. Who knows, maybe 9.2 will have us go to the Realm of Life, the Moon, or something like that, and we'll meet up with Elune during the 9.2 campaign or some shit like that.
That way, Elune and the WQ can find closure, and Nature can use its full wrath against the Jailer.
If Northrend Revamp is indeed 9.2 then I can see this being two patches, unless we really do go from Northrend to yet another place.
Maybe the revamp is split in half? Or the third patch is a new Northrend zone like Azjol Nerub.
I would imagine that each covenant will have at least one more specific quesstline after 9.1 dealing with the specifics of making the sigil. After that covenant choice will probably only really affect the story in what characters recognixe you, and possibly what commander you get your orders from.
I do agree though, the covenants are probably just going to get less and less important. Though I don't think they will get completely reelevant, Blizzard will likely find some reason to have players stick it out with them, if nothing else just to not make players feel like swapping covenants is encouraged.

I very much doubt we're getting an entire Northrend revamp. That would be way too much for a content patch, even for two. This would be like WoD and they would definitely sell this as an expansion.
I guess at best we're getting something like a Icecrown and Dragonblight revamp or more like the 8.3 stuff they did with the zones.
MAGA - Make Alliance Great Again
Consider that the Northrend revamp is a secret "box feature" and it takes the place of two patches.
The "Nzoth invasion" stuff was very low effort on resources, but there's barely any new resources aside from Tazavesh in 9.1. We know that they're working on something big for zone stuff and Northrend fits the bill.
Even if its just small sections of Northrend I am expecting an actual revamp instead of just mobs and rares: that was what the prepatch was.
They always work on big stuff regardless(Wish they went all out in 8.3 but whats done is done. I dunno about this Northrend stuff BUT if it happens I'll admit I'm wrong but I'm just not sure.

Can somebody perhaps enlighten me? Where does this constant mention of the garden of life stem from? Never heard about it. Was that a thing while questing? Or from a covenant campaign? Only did kyrian so far.
