We literally don't until it is revealed. You dismiss hints for possibility A and treat hints for possibility B as proof.

Are you aware of the datamined "goblinraid" weapon datamine? That's the thrust for the Undermine talk.

Oh damn, didn't expect this!

That's why I call it a possibility.

Hm. Well. That's definitely interesting.

Inasmuch a possibility as the datamining of "inv_glaive_1h_emeralddreamoutdoor_d_01" on the 10.1 PTR suggested 10.2 surely?

[Varodoc]

That short-story simply reiterates why the Void Lords/Old Gods are the most terrifying villains in the entire Warcraft franchise. Every other villain will leave a moment of respite and calm, but the Void Lords/Old Gods never do. They're always there, whispering madness and intruding into thoughts.

You'd think that the destruction of N'Zoth would have finally ended the voices. No, it actually worsened them. The most terrifying/scary villains in all of Warcraft.

Naturally this makes Alleria and the Ren'dorei all the more impressive, as the only mortals who are able to resist the weight of these whispers.

How come the Defias Brotherhood were able to rebuild the entirety of Stormwind in a couple of years, but the Blood Elves after 20 years still haven't rebuilt half their city? Incompetent and irresponsible.

[Auxis]

Recently realized I did not, in fact, have all of the heritage armours unlocked. I quickly fixed that. Leveled a highmountain, mechagnome, and vulpera monk (all mistweaver), and a light forged (rogue for some reason :/) to 50 over the course of a week to week and a half.

And have just finished leveling a draenei and troll to 50 over the weekend. I'm tired, boss.

I'm holding out hope that they've got some heritage weapons lined up to go with the draenei and troll sets. There is a datamined 2h troll sword that matches the tiki masks on the troll heritage, which adds credence to my hopes.

Just like the Exploring books, they don't want any piece of literature to get in the way of their expansion development, which is always subject to change.

and toward a row of houses, a place she had only ever heard about from Arator

hmmm

Ah yes, we are dismissing the icon names literally being "goblinraid", just like "emeralddreamoutdoor" didn't mean anything, and the kultiras icon didn't mean anything.

Icon filenames are 100% accurate. People dismissing it are coping, I am sorry to say that. I am not really happy that we are getting Undermine, but you might as well accept it.

[Ksgrip]

Hm. Well. That's definitely interesting.

Have.. have they divorced them???

I am not sure if to interpret this as a break up or as a setup for Alleria to come back

[Cheezits]

Arator got dragon tattoos (one dark one light) on his arms from "someone amazing". Take that as you will.

Sure. But just because the names are accurate doesnt mean they can't be misleading. Loads of people thought a Ardenweald raid was a definite going by the ArdenwealdRaid weapons.

All the weapon means is that we are getting a raid with a significant enough Goblin presence to warrant theming the weapons after it. This could mean Undermine for a full patch and raid. It could mean Gallywix invades the Rootlands or whatever, and the raid is an entirely separate aesthetic from the zone.
Could also mean a Megadungeon set somewhere Goblin themed, or for that matter that it's a raid that is only half Goblin themed, and that is why the weapons look like that.

Oh I'm not commenting on the short story, this is about that Harronir Orwenya is a Dreadlord idea.

Sounds to me like Alleria is just dodging spending time with Turalyon and Arator by constantly going on missions that give her an excuse to leave. Not so much that her and Turalyon have taken a break.

Definitely a setup for Midnight though, when Alleria will have to come back to Silvermoon and save it alongside Arator.

[Nymrohd]

The short story was sweet though I don't think we learned anything? I have no idea why Arator has a house in Silvermoon and I guess they decided to remove the elven distaste for half-elves. It does make it clear he will be there for Midnight.

[Sondrelk]

Ohh. Well this is awkward...

I suppose Orwenya being a Dreadlord is possible. Though personally I would have assumed that the writers have completely forgotten about the whole "Vassal of Life" hook.

[Samin]

Where's that from? Will he proclaim himself Rand ar'Ator, the Dragon Reborn?
