The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Ferlion]

Yeah, just curious if there's an interpretation from the story alone (e.g. "canon") that implies a location.

Ok, so..

This is actually something that COULD fit.

Lorewise, Darkshore is really, really, really rough. Like, it's dark, dreary, stormy, and so hard to work with that in 10,000 years the only Settlement that EVER took hold was Auberdine. In addition, the seas around Teldrasil were extremely rough to navigate.


This sea is called the Veiled Sea. Which indicates it MIGHT be at the edge of a the storm, or at least getting the after effects. In addition, this sea connects to "The Forbidden Sea", which reaches all the way around to the Eastern Kingdom. And, well. That's been mentioned since AT LEAST Cataclysm.

I think it's just "the backside", so presumably on the entire opposite side of the map we can see. We shall see in a month I guess!

[Merryck]

Maybe prepatch is trying to race through the storm lol

[Cheezits]

So, a "Gilgoblin Cosmetics" spell was added.

I remember that a few Naga themed "Cosmetic" spells got added as well. However, I'm starting to think that these aren't tied to actual cosmetic items, but something to do with NPCs. So we may see Gilgoblins soon.

Maybe something related to the Jinyu? The last time we saw the Gilgoblins was with the Ankoan Jinyu.

The Storm Rider achievements are slightly more interesting now because it implies whatever we're Storm Riding(/racing) through (which now might be "The Storming Sea") is already in the game in some way. There are currently 3 encrypted maps (<10.2 spoiler>, The Nighthold (as set up in the last Tyr campaign) and a version of Aberrus), and none of those really fit. I wonder if they'll just make it some weather effect on e.g. The Great Sea map and drop a race in there, but that doesn't seem very interesting either. Hmm!

Did you name it like this because no dataminer has reported on this yet? Or is it something you are unable to see at all?

[Catastrophy349]

Apparently, there are TWO other books besides the one with the green dragon.

“The Legend of Elun’Ahir”
“On the Nature of the Dream”

It's probably Amirdrassil In Reality/Oh'naran Plains and Marlamin is being nice by not saying.

Aberrus sounds fun, I wonder if it's the finale for the Dracthyr. Or something with the Void Room.

[Ferlion]

Elun’Ahir.

As a reminder, Catacylsm Darkshore quests has it stated that Elune influences Water Elementals.

It's not some super well hidden secret (if anything it's encrypted very badly) but it's not knowledge either so it's probably best it stays that way.

I try my best.

It'd have to be west of Teldrassil/the not-actually-on-that-map Draenei islands then. Could fit, yeah.

Bet the one about the dream will be about "noooooo!!!!! the Titans didnt actually make the dream they appropriated it!! Titans bad!!" Thanks Danuser

Elune making the Dream was a day one thing bro.

Fuck me. Another gut punch to #teamworldrevamp

A thread that has been part of the lore since before Danuser even joined Blizzard. Do try to not completely blow it out of proportion.

[Catastrophy349]

I get to go to sleep just in time for everyone to speculate! Enjoy! I’m actually getting more HYPE by the day.

[Villager720]

Friendly reminder that the Titans had Algalon glass countless worlds without hesitation when their own flawed mechanisms fail.

The Titans have always sucked.

[Trad skeleton]

Going West to lands undiscovered with the sword being pulled out of Silithus and us exploring what's beneath either being a pre-patch dungeon / quest area / etc or an end game zone.

"Did the Titans make the Dream" has been in since the Warcraft Encylopedia, which is so old it was on their original website that still advertised the RPG books as canon, alongside the Troll Compendium.

It's definitely not a new concept at all.

[Jodmos]

What was the MRGM tweet? Needs age in twitter to see it as it says adult content and there is no way I'm putting my DoB in.

Yep, and the only time we see a globe is in Halls of Lightning. Veiled Sea and Forbidding Sea connect with nothing in between. BUTTTTTT... given the current story and lore snippets focusing on the questionable motives and morality of the Titans, could just be propaganda and false info. There may be something there they didn't want the "lesser races" to know about.

I bet the Stormrider cup is like the Kessel run. It'll just be one big tornado over the ocean & you have to do a set number of laps, but there's more drag the closer to the center you go.
