Is it that unlikely for N'zoth to have been close by or even moved towards the wound and be trapped by the Keepers in a facility within the wound that was forming? The water could have come later. Alternatively his facility could be adjoining or beneath the lake bed and got revealed by the Sundering.
    The well of eternity wasn't water it was all azerite or the azerite equivalent of back then and is described as a “lake of scintillating energy”, the old gods were also captured where they were the titans literally build there prisons on top of them.

    Though going through chronicles N’zoth was the closest to the well though he was also land Locked which makes it kinda weird he’s the deep sea old god and not C’thun.



    Either way though Nazjatar had to have been moved closer to his prison with the sundering or after it given the distance between him and the well.

I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    You know he was always called the God of the Deep. But that doesn't mean the deep sea. Could simply be the god of the underground; maybe most of N'zoth was beneath those mountains. Would explain how he whispered to Deathwing.

    Do remember the timeframe here. N'zoth spent the last 10,000 years underwater.

    Because we have a patch about Deathwings hidden doing coming up and we just had a post about how he was keeping an eye on the future Naga Queen and the deep Sea.

    The mod note is about arguing over lore it really shouldn’t apply to talking about the possible connection about The Naga still at large for future content and there possible ties to deathwing the focus on the next patch.

    Well ya but he already has the fish thing going for him right when the well exploded, though I suppose that could just be him grabbing any thing near by and he wasn’t all about fish back then.

    That’s true I was just applying it to the sea as that was his thing post sundering but him being keeper then the rest underground would match up with how he was the one to turn deathwing.

    Which is odd considering most Old Gods were buried beneath the earth. Maybe he was deeper? /shrug

    True, but its kind of sus since Azshara had literally nothing to do with ocean creatures before the sunder, she lived in a place that couldn't be more away from the ocean...



    I kind of want a pre-ordering Azeroth expansion... but other side of Azeroth could be just that I guess...

    Honestly I love the idea that he was somewhere beneath the giant lake we see in the Azshara cinematic. Or at least one assumes it's a lake. I somehow doubt it was the well of eternity, given we see that The Eternal Palace and N'zoth is within spitting distance of where said cinematic took place.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    I would rather Sargeras not be fought by players. A setting feels vast when there are things out there that are just too big to fight.

    That was not particularly well-received, I think.

    Ideally, we should do so at the very end of the franchise's – and I do mean the franchise, as opposed to the game's – lifespan. If we fight Sargeras, it should be the end of the story altogether, or immediately preceding it.

    We fought Sargeras. Mythic Gul'dan phase. He was possessing Illidan's body

    This is something that probably 90% + of the WoW community didn't acknowledge to this day, and I blame Blizzard for using Illidan voice without any changes/effects to make it more noticeable.

    Personally, I don't want to fight Sargeras as a titan, nor any of these cosmic monsters out there. I would rather see characters being built upon, such as Illidan/Arthas/Garrosh/Medivh/Kil'jaeden/Kel'thuzad, and then killing/defeating them afterward.

    I can't see the appeal of fighting mega monster nº 76 or the fallen god nº 16, it's lame.

    Villains' characters need lore, even more lore than heroes to be compelling. For instance, I think it's a shame that Blizzard didn't make Sylvanas a killable "end-of-expansion" boss, she had a lot of development leading to it, that could've saved Shadowlands, imagine if in the 9.1 cinematic instead of turning against Zovaal she instead somehow took his new superpower effectively replacing him, and then turned more malefic than him before biting the dust for good in 9.2, that could've been glorious.

    I definitely missed out on this. Is the demon within phase meant to be this as well in black temple? It's a bit confusing

    Nah in the Black Temple it is him using his demonic side. However the entire point of kidnapping Illidan was to use him as a vessel for Sargeras, throughout the fight, Gul'dan was trying to channel Sargeras into Illidan's body. In Mythic, he succeeds and we beat the partial possession out of him. If you check the encounter journal it is pretty clear.

    And yeah, Blizzard did not tell the story properly nor give it the gravity it deserved.

    Well Gul'dan did not think so
    The husk of Illidan will prove an ideal vessel for my master's glory. Sargeras will rise, and together, we will watch your world burn.
    Let the endgame begin!

    These quotes are a giveaway though:
    "You topple a pawn and presume to challenge its master? Such arrogance!"
    "Behold the shadow of what is to come, the endless darkness that shall consume your world."
    Gul'dan never worked under Illidan's command in any timeline, nor Illidan ever planed to destroy Azeroth, especially after what we learned about him in Legion.

  19. #3659
    And I don't think Sargeras was like, fully inside yet (just the tip). Plus Aegwyn nearly solo'd Sargeras-possessed Medivh. I think the heroes of Azeroth fully decked in artifacts could win against barely-in Sargeras possessing the body of someone who had just been in a coma for about a decade.

    Illidan was supposed to be the new Avatar of Sargeras if we had failed at Nighthold.
