Rift of Aln and the Void Flower being used to summon the Old Gods would make sense.. also
"At the hour of her third death she will usher in our coming." could reference to the Harbinger. Maybe Sargeras kills her with the sword at one point?
"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation."
Remember this little bit from one of the Shadowlands leaks? This was accompanying the early Shadowlands map that had Ny'alotha in the centre. Supposedly at that time N'Zoth was responsible and feeding souls back to Ny'alotha to reawaken the Old Gods.
One relevant point to the current discussion about Rift of Aln was this (When Alnir Riftlands was still on the Shadowlands Map):
"ALNIR RIFTLANDS: A crucible for the primordial energies that comprise the fabric of all realities, with portals to each one. Everything is spilling in and out of rifts. Source of void incursions on Dragon Isles and Emerald Dream."
Original leak was here: r/wow/comments/chgpyh/comment/eusyb8i/
I genuinely think Shadowlands went through a huge rewrite at some point which lead to the massive Jailer flop (and divergence from his original concept art...)

It hasn't been admitted to be fake.
It showed up on the internet 3 months before 8.3 was announced, 6 months before it was released.
We know Shadowlands went through drafts and rewrites.
Legion and early BfA lore pointed heavily towards a connection between the Old Gods and the Faction War Sylvanas started.
The map has a much more similar structure to the released SL zones than any other expansion before or since.
So it's possible this was an early proposal that was rejected somewhat early, and someone who had a picture of it decided to post it online for hype, even after it had been rejected.
the expansion is called titanforged
the four pictures are real
avaloren is west of kalimdor behind storms no underground
tyr is rebuilt and leads us there
new race is titanforged and can pick different models
no class but new specs for most classes
ground mounts get a new system like flying did in dragonflight
How you gonna make a free space that can't be used
