Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Darkarath]

Maybe a croc loa then?

The Tol'vir tell of the legendary Sa'bak, a great crocolisk believed to have emerged from the sacred valley of Un'Goro crater. Although few have ever seen Sa'bak in the flesh, many believe he was blessed by the Titan Keepers to safeguard the vast waterways of Uldum.

Neato.

Uhhhh, very interesting.

Congrats to those that saw the Uldum connection.

Interesting that it mentions that comes from Un'Goro...

It cannot be avoided ! Another hint for a world revamp !

[Joshuaj]

not the shadowlands death for me, i hate that expansion at all levels too much, i dont like anything of it, neither the art

...might I ask what you expected?

- - - Updated - - -

I personally loved the arbiter key art they released, but i understand that it was not on line with the expected theme death was gonna have in WoW.
(For reference it can be seen in the spoiler, really love the otherworldly feel peter mohrbacher can express and was sadened when they replaced the old for the new one especially since thematically it made no sense pelagos was so zereth mortis coded when all the other eternal ones fit their theme fine.)

Spoiler: 

It looks spiritual and mystical, like the Shadowlands should be.

Why loa and not Ancient?

Why loa and not Ancient?

anything can be a loa, but a ancient is specifically a wild god (which are creatures of Life). The text mentioning keepers and that it is a crocodile with wings hint that it might be artificially created.

I mean, why give the crocodile wings so it somewhat resembles a dragon?

Could also be the prototype Dracthyr...

Made a stab out how I think a potential northern EK Midnight might look (names and lore considerations aren't super deep, just there to get across the general theme/vibe).

Also noticed a bunch of spelling mistakes, whoopsies. Identify should be 'identity'.

Another expansion with another theme, another features and another story XD

[Xilurm]

Alleria will be our Alisaie. Alphinaud will be Turalyon. Estinien should be Illidan, but he won't be back till TLL, so Thrall I guess?
Y'shtola will be Jaina, G'raha will be Anduin.
Naturally Xal'atath will be Fandaniel, which leaves the Zenos position vacant. I hope they give that to Dar'khan.
Ahh yes, we still have Thancred and Urianger, right? Brann and Khadgar, I'd say.

Anyway: Moon trip, when?

Iridikron watching from the sidelines.

Not gonna happen

Iridikron watching from the sidelines.

Respectfully, no. Iridikron is generic evil dragon number n+1 who has zero personal connection to the main character (whoever he is)
The two have zero in common.

If anything Iridikron is closer to Fandaniel. Nutjob trying to destroy the world out of spite.
Hell, he might end up as the Zodiark of the story.

Imagine if he dies in a lvl 93 dungeon in TLT.

A fitting end.

[Makorus]

Iridikron will be our ally, mark my words.

Makes zero sense for him to be a boss unless he shows up in Midnight.

[Alanar]

Wait, their twitter post shows even more silvermoon architecture than the one from their official site.

Yup noticed the spire shape in the first pic, behind the front guy.

The worst is, that he did have a good, unique voice with personality... for a whole 50 seconds, in the Azshara Warbringer short.

As entertaining it was to watch, N'zoth going from creepy, teasing whispers to deep rumbling and yelling almost killed it for me.

I second this. Azshara warbringer voice overs had me pummed. The in game ones, atleast N zoth wasnt as soothing and creepy.

Just like *Endwalker spoilers*

I could see a "fight for our world" kind of thing. At the other side of the room we have the titans, who have their own idea and plans for Azeroth. What will the heroes of Azeorth fight for?

I mean, whether people like it or not, the story will 99% go a "Guys, we really need to convert Azeroth to a Titan!" with Azeroth telling us that actually, I kinda wanna stay my own thing.

I just don't see Iridikron being against us in any way in that scenario.

At which point the dude who was against us for this long will work for us temporarily and we are going to hope this won't screw us over like when we joined up with Xal'atath against Dimensius.

[The-Shan]

I have a gut feeling Lor'themar is super dead, end of the regency!

The promotional material makes it look like the void monsters are emerging from Silvermoon, like the city has fallen already.

I mean, Iridikron was never against us though. It was us against him, not him against us.
