New continent(?) named Avaloren with "heretics" that rebelled against the watchers

OK so an extra continent, we got more Azeroth! "Risk containment of our other prisoners" suggests that there is a prisoner (old god?) there.
Together with the idea that the Black Empire was not all horror maybe we'll find a place of enlightened chaos-aligned flesh of curse'd titanforged there.
I would like Dragonflight being the remnants of the Titans & Old Gods coming together against elementals but they absolutely refuse to give is a simple villain whos intentions aren't ambiguous. Is it really that hard to give us another Arthas?She thinks Celeborn is dead & she has this budding romance with the guy who she thinks is Aragorn's grandfather...only to reveal its actually Sauron this whole time. They didn't bang (yet) but its this big seduction thing. Like Sauron legit loves her, and wants her to be his "Dark Queen, as beautiful & terrible as the dawn.
It would be really nice if we could go over an expansion without blatantly retconing half the established cosmology.
But i guess that's too much to ask.
I think the book spells out really well that Odyn desperately wanted the Keepers and the Titans to be revered as THE gods, which... didn't really work out on Azeroth. It's a great villain motivation IMO and he's #1 choice for an Order Villain considering the heinous shit he has done over the years
He has huge pride and arrogance, there are several other keepers who have not done as many bad things as he has. You can make order in good and bad ways (see: the fact that several keepers protested against mind control drugs for dragons)
He also, unintentionally, doomed much of Azeroth to the Jailer, the Legion and the Lich Kings. So that check will have to be paid eventually

Yeah, my point is that because she is disposable they didn't try with her design. Denathrius had to look cool because, even if he was intended to be thrown away, he is a major lore figure after the reveal of the Nathrezim.
So, I don't know if this is relevant or accurate, but I just bought Dragonflight, and where it said "Upgrade Available" on the launcher, it now says "New Beta Available".
I already had Beta though. Not sure if they just take the same space on the launcher or not so it just didn't show before, but it kinda makes me think they're giving beta to people who buy it now?

Perhaps. I hope you're right. Because they've been no stranger to borrowing story elements from their own IPs before. But straight up ripping off names is low brow, even for them.
The only issue I see is that I would assume the new hinted continent would share the name convention as well. Not something based on Avalon.
