Normal Raid is open on Beta. Lots of lore bits.
There has been no update. Even Amazon still only has it as untitled wow book with a release date of november 2026. So I would guess it's not gonne be ready anytime soon. Wowhead posted something about a dragon guide recently, maybe Blizzard thought that one was going to sell better and froze the other one.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
I imagine they have some reservations using an unborn baby of their own species as fuel.

Only if you didn't pay attention in Shadowlands. Accessing Zereth Ordos may well have been why he needed to "convert" the Pantheon - it probably has a security system similar to Mortis.
As for why they didn't order reality that way, it may well not be possible. Destroying things is easier than rebuilding. Also, remember that out of the Death pantheon, only one was willing to go against the First One's rules and even enter it. And you're now asking why the Order Pantheon isn't doing it? Did you even spend a second thinking about that?
Maybe you should spend less time raging about how bad Shadowlands is and more on learning what actually happened there.
1) Is there a date for prepatch yet?
2) Are we going to get animated shorts like we did for the last expansions?
Yes, of course. The First Ones specifically tuned the Zereths to be accessible only if a Titan soul is to be sacrificed. It's a real shame, that the Titan Pantheon, which traversed the entire universe and probably had plenty of other insanely potent sources of power, had only that single option of sacrificing an unborn baby in order to power the Zereth. Bummer.
I admit, at some point I stopped paying attention to the Shadowlands(for my own sake). I followed the story to the point, where the Jailer managed to reach Zereth Mortis some five minutes after being set free. Oh, and about five minutes later, the Primus forged a brand new batch of sigils, which were sufficient to open again the gateway to the same Zereth Mortis. So what exactly was stopping Sargeras, who had near unlimited resources and freedom(and the spirits of the original Pantheon on Argus), from doing the same?
And why wouldn't the Pantheon of Order go all out to fulfill its purpose and ultimate goal and bring order to the entire universe? Contrary to the popular belief, they are not robots programmed to do something, unquestionably. They killed one Old God on Azeroth, and then decided to imprison the rest. They are perfectly capable of critical thinking and have free will(as we know from the entire saga of Sargeras). Additionally, they have no problem outright lying about the existence of the First Ones and their role, so what would stop them from going to Zereth Ordos and do exactly the thing that they strive most to?

Yep, can't see they'd leave it a week after the season ends, however, if it will be 25/26 then they need to announce it this week surely? Ideally with a schedule - ie - when does the event start, when is the dungeon available, when are Evokers playable etc. It's already going to be a short (ish) pre patch at just 4 resets until the expansion. My bet is:
25th/26th Pre patch, talent changes, new UI, professions etc
1st/2nd Evokers and Dungeon
8th/9th Event
That gives people a week to see the new UI and talents before the new class and dungeon, then a week to play around with them before the event starts and the event will last just over 2 weeks.

Some interesting dialogue from raid entrance between Kalecgos and Khadgar regarding a certain bronze dragon.
I don't think they need to announce much of anything really. The important bit is that the season is ending, alongside any chance of getting the unique rewards from M+ and PvP. The actual changes that are coming in the Pre-patch could come the day before and be fine. The actual events aren't even going to be available from the start, so plenty of time to let players get used to the changes before bombarding them with info on the Dracthyr creation, or actual events like the dungeon.
The world revamp dream will never die!
So, when you enter the raid, this dialogue happens:
Archmage Khadgar: The Kirin Tor has answered the Dragon Queen's call, Kalecgos. But I wish the other Aspects were here with us.
Kalecgos: Alexstrasza is still recovering from her last encounter with Raszageth. Nozdormu feels the weight of destiny pressing down upon him.
Kalecgos: It falls to us to take back this prison from the Primalists and ensure the other Incarnates are not freed.
Archmade Khadgar: Then we shall not fail, my friend.
Archmage Khadgar: Who knows? This battle may inspire a tale that you can share with your own clutch one day.
As per his own admission in the End Times, Nozdormu's fate is inescapable. He is doomed to become Murozond the Infinite Lord. His destiny cannot be changed, and that is the tragedy of his story; and it is also a reminder that even the almighty dragons can be broken by the Void whispers.
