So none of the other themes in that logo matter because you think you see a bow?
Explain.Night elves and Dragons go a long way back.
Uh why would we be looking towards the Titan homeworld? Wouldn't the titans be involved if Azeroth is threatened by the Old Gods, the very thing they empowered the dragons to stop in the first place?If we're talking about Old Gods and Dragonflights, then there are the elements which appeared heavily in Cataclysm.
If we're talking about the font, then it has nothing titanic in particular. If you're looking for Titanic involvement, there could definitely be some, as a Titanic Homeworld expansion is due.
All i see is a Naaru themed border with a purple cosmic void background.
Where the fuck you people see night elf bows and titan aesthetics is an absolute enigma for me.

The thing is that it is easy to confuse Naaru for titan because they are "alien" tech. However, the straight lines moving into the more curved elements are definitely titan. Also Naaru don't have anything to do with dragons, while the lore of dragons and titans are intertwined, as is the lore of titans and old gods. Also the background wouldn't be cosmic, it would be Twilight or Old Gods (ala "Domestic Void), because that is the theme that lines up with Dragons and directly threatens Azeroth.
Yeah, we had new dragons each and every expansion:
- Vanilla: Chromatic Dragons
- TBC: Nether Dragons, Inifnite Dragons
- WtoLK: Proto-dragons, Twilight Dragons
- Cata: Stone Dragons, Storm Dragons
- MoP: Cloud Serpents
- WoD: Fey Dragons
- Legion: Storm Dragons, Nightmare Dragons
- BfA: Void Dragons
- Shadowlands: Feathered Dragons
So it's not crazy to think they could add new kinds of dragons, like, Sea Dragons, Light Dragons, or whatever they want.

We had WoW: Shadowlands at the same time that FF14: Shadowbringers. Sharing inititials with the new GW2 expansion feels like a minor problem after that to me.
People think that looks like a Night Elf bow?

How do those names not make sense?
"Shadowlands" is self-explanatory, the expansion takes place in the realm known as Shadowlands.
"Warlords of Draenor" refers to the main villains of the expansion, the Warlords of the world "Draenor" who formed the Iron Horde.
"Mists of Pandaria" refers to the magical mists that surrounded Pandaria for 10000 years, the expansion happens because of their disappearance.
"Empire of Dragons" doesn't make sense, unless the dragons randomly decide to start an empire.
Which is out of character for them because, in case you didn't know, empires are built on conquest and bloodshed. By definition, an empire is a collection of conquered kingdoms. I don't see Alexstrasza and co. randomly starting to conquer people. That would certainly make them no better than their nemesis N'Zoth.
Not sure why everyone keeps debating the empire of dragons logo. The person who posted it continues to read this thread and hasn't said a word about it since they posted it. Was also the first and only source of the image. Just put it to rest already lol
The above post should never be taken seriously in any shape or form. Failure to do so might result in laughing matters.
I mean, yeah?
It looks like wood with stylized pieces of organic metal shapes.
There are afterall elven bows with even more metal pieces.

Because we are not arguing whether it's real. That debate is basically pointless given we have absolutely no reason to assume it is.
The debate is whether it could have the potential to be real. Would anyone be surprised if it ended up being real, which is a debate worth having given the Shadowlands logo was leaked way back, and it looked even more fake than this.
The world revamp dream will never die!

This looks great. 1000x better than the awful Unreal Engine renders of "next-gen" WoW zones.
You sure on that definition? Merriam Webster within it's multitude of definitions for Empire (source) lists one definition as "a major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority." While empires have largely in history been due to conquered kingdoms, it isn't necessarily a requirement. To a certain extent, the Iron Horde could be considered to be an empire run by Grommash even though he did not conquer the other clans.
To have an empire, all the dragons would need to do would be to follow a single sovereign authority and act as one. There are plenty who could fit the bill to lead such an empire...perhaps a single flight takes leadership, or perhaps a Titan returns and gives new instructions to the dragonflights. We might find a lost leadership setup in the Dragon Isles, who knows what might've happened there? We may not currently know of a dragon empire, but we didn't understand what the mists were for Mists of Pandaria until we discovered more of the story.
Agreed. It fits the art style of WoW much better for obvious reasons & would likely work in the current game as opposed to the Unreal Engine shaders/textures which would likely limit the amount of lower end PCs that could play WoW.

You know we're deep into the drought when someone takes out the Merriam-Webster.
Empire of Dragons is fake because it's such a comically bad name that there is no way that Blizzard would think of anything bad like that.
