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

[Ferlion]

Couldn't you have just uninstalled the game and cancelled the subscription?

[Bruxin]

Long time since my last login ingame, just found this item on my character and I didn't see any comment here about it, so:
"Khazgorite infused resin" (You can look after it on wowhead, I can't post any link yet)

Is this Khazgorite Something related to khaz'algar?

[Keyalios]

Khaz is a common dwarven word. IE Khaz Modan.

Somethings have to be burned to the ground like Teldrassil.

I can confirm zugzug's word, some banners started to arrive today, got a glimpse of one, just saw the top half. Elf with purple eyes, on a dark purple background. Seems like it's either for the Faire or for some test fits. Hard to know so far. Might be for the merch booth. We should receive the rest by Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning once the Overwatch booth is up.

That's fair. Thougt in khazgorite in the same way as azerite or something like that. If it's a common thing ingame, I'm ok. Thanks.

If Xal is the main antagonist they better do her better than they did Nzoth.

I'll back you all the way on this one, they did my boy dirty. Old Gods have so much potential to be interesting right there in Blizzard's own lore, yet they keep on whiffing it by using them for a quick win. Real travesty. A whole expansion with an Old God(-esque) character as the centrepiece might actually let them cook a bit.

Khaz is a common Dwarven word yes, but it is a direct reference to reverence for and/or worship of Khaz'goroth. Khaz'Modan is literally 'Mountain of Khaz'. Putting two and two together, earthen seem to retain and possibly even tread further into reverence of Khaz'Goroth when they are afflicted by the curse of flesh/similar. Possibly stems from the love of smelting etc.

Khaz'goroth was the Titan who had power over the earth and the dwarves like him. Khaz Modan mean's Khaz [Goroth]'s mountains.

[Bruxin]

Very interesting. Thanks.

I'm less worried of them making her like N'zoth and more worried they might do her worse than Sylvanas.

[Gloriandus]

Seems like it's either for the Faire

Seems the best explanation, a fortune teller of sorts?

Random but whats your pfp from? Your username reminds me of the best fire emblem (Sacred Stones) but I can't place the pic, unless it's just an artist's rendering of a Dracthyr in which case it's nice.

Khaz'gorite is rare ore used in a ton of Dragonflight crafting recipes and is named after the titan Khaz'Goroth
Dwarves hold veneration of Khaz to some degree so they name a lot of places in his honour (Khaz Modan meaning "The Mountains of Khaz/Khaz'Goroth)

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

I think if they decided to move in such a direction, I would be on the side of the good-natured void entity lol. Free will and possibilities are way better than "do what I say, I am your god-king."

Also, interesting take on positive fel and hedonism, I dig it!

I mean there is this thing with Shivarra and Sayaad being so... horny. There's already this connection of fel with Lust, has always been framed in this "sinful" way, but it would be very interesting to see how these races were before being conscripted into the Burning Legion.

I think there's a lot of potential on Fel itself, not as a consuming force, but the Emerald Flame that burns out the stagnant, the spark of endless change and entropy (kinda like the Phoenix Force in Marvel Comics TBH)

[Woggmer]

Khaz'goroth was the Titan who had power over the earth and the dwarves like him. Khaz Modan mean's Khaz [Goroth]'s mountains.

It should also be noted that while Khaz'goroth's handiwork is the Dwarves.. there's also Aggramar who's handiwork is the Grond from Draenor, which would slowly evolve later to Gronn, Ogres, and eventually Orcs.

Then again, this could also be Titan Propaganda since this information came from the Chronicles.

Hah, I main a DH by the same name; the pfp is an AI's interpretation of the Sacred Stones character mixed with a DH.

I mean, workwork's discovery sounds cool, but ya'll realize he can just as easily be a megafan feigning ignorance of these things to make it sound more legitimate, right?

"Hmm...I saw...a glowing sphere kinda? Seemed to be surrounded by rocks. Does anyone know if it would be something underground, perhaps some kind of...planet core?

There was a short person...like some kind of...halfling or other short person...wearing...what looked like some kind of metal suit? He was surrounded by some kind of cogs and maybe rockets? Does anyone know anything like that in WoW, I am totally ignorant of any of this despite being on MMO-C."

It's like a cold-reading psychic.

No idea. Seemed very detailed for a secondary booth like that. Definitively have key art vibe.

Isn't the whole Dominatrix Shivarra/Sayaad thing being actually heavily sexual/lusty very very headcanon-y in WoW, like the shit RPers come up with when the horny gets the better of them? They don't actually fuck, they just look alluring to bait you in and tear you to pieces, no? Unless we're talking about the PoV of their victims, in which case.. I suppose it plays a role to some extent.

I think most people are aware of this, but at this point we don't really have anything else so might aswell play along.
