So Sylvannas is going to take the Jailer's place, right?

[Mashanerz]

The jailer doesn't need to exist...besides, after we defeat the jailer we're going to find the plot twist that makes us go "Oh no, he was right all along" and then we'll facing the Arbiter as the final boss....don't think Sylvanas will be the one to take their place but I imagine someone will need to sort the souls of the dead (or we end the expac finding out that the souls don't need to be sorted)

He clearly does need to exist otherwise the Eternal Ones would have killed him when he betrayed them

What? I thought rule 34 was clear enough. Apparently I was wrong, no idea why you took such offense though.

Rule 34: If it can be thought of, there is porn of it.

He is definitely touchy about Rule 34. He must be having a crappy Thanksgiving

[Minikin]

Huh. And some people have the gall to scream "Horde bias"? Okay...

People are crazy.

Mind you. I believe they went this route with purge of dalaran too. As in. In the alliance version Jaina doesn't kill anyone, moment they get low HP they get stunned and sent to the dungeons. I believe that is the Canon version of the two events also, rather than the horde version where she does lay the smack down.

Arthas:
"Without the jailer the hungry maw will consume all of reality."

"Control must be held!"

"There must always be a (/golfclap) jailerrrrr"

Anduin
"This heavy burden. It must be mine to bear-"

Sylvanas
"Anduin! Stop being such a golden boi. Give me the chains! They suit my transmog better! I'll make my own maw! With hookers and blackjack! And don't tell anyone!"

Anduin
"I'll make sure they remember you! I'll set nordrassil on fire next year! So the alliance can finally be evil!"

Yeah, we're not Daenerys, we're the dothraki grunts doing the fighting. Maybe a dothraki lieutenant/whatthefuckever would be a better term. Those guys don't get announced either.

It was just an example man Sheesh.

[ashblond]

No, she will marry jailer and together they live happily ever after.

And Nathanos Simpson will be cucked forever.

[Mashanerz]

Or they can't kill him because they ripped out his heart and installed it in the arbiter?

"he will get back what was his"

[Orange Joe]

Of course she will take Jailers place. She is destined to be the Kamala of WoW.

? no idea what this is suppose to mean

Sounds like a big risk to take. I'm curious what went down between the Eternal Ones.

[Teriz]

As long as she's dead by the end of this expansion, I don't care. She can take Nathanos with her as well.

Theory (And probably spoiler, cause I'm good at this stuff) Zovaal was the original judge of souls, those from Oribos, Bastion, and Ardenweald planned to overthrow him and built mechanical constructs to help with this including the Arbiter. They took the heart (or w/e) from his chest that gave him power over the souls and locked him in the Maw. He found a backdoor from the Maw through the Rift of Aln and when we killed Xavius it allowed his corrupted soul to put the arbiter our of commission and funnel all souls into the maw....there must always be a judger of souls

[det]

There must always be... a jailer

My thoughts before coming here...

[TheVaryag]

I think it's pretty obvious that they'll pull a Lich King 2.0 and after we defeat the Jailer, Sylvannas is going to take his place and be the ruler of the Maw.

I just hope they'll surprise us and don't go this route. What do you guys think?

That's what I suspected and expect really from blizzard writing and story telling. Just re-hash the same shiz. Basically, Sylvanas gets a redemption arc, becomes the Kerrigan of WoW by defeating the Jailer "With our help" all along being the goodie, taking his place and becoming Bolvar 2.0 essentially, there must always be.... a jailer/lich queen thing but no really this time and there won't be a repeat of this story where we go to Shadowlands 2.0 and there's gonna be a Bolvar 3.0 oh no no no, we really won't do that - Blizzard

[Sondrelk]

Arthas is a far more likely suspect to become the new jailer.

It would mirror the end of WotLK, it would be a fitting punishment, and it would be a fitting capstone to the Arthas redemption arc that I might remind everyone already began when uther threw Arthas into the Maw.
