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

[Marlamin]

Already lowkey revealed by the level 13 dracthyr wearing leather in the Warband.

Keep in mind that wasn't an actual thing, just a UI mockup plastered on top of the warband part of the features trailer, it doesn't actually exist yet so that might have been some UI designer just picking random shit.

I think we may get cities revamped in 12.0 but it may just be SMC and MAYBE Exodar/Gilneas/Undercity.

This shows that I don't pay that much attention to lore, but how is Xalatath in humanoid form?

In BfA there was a short questline in 8.1 that had us find Xal'atath in knife form from some Naga, and then help her possess a dead Velf found in Drustvar. The questline ended with going to N'zoth in the Crucible of Storms where Xal'atath got to leave the knife, whereupon she promptly left in a void portal to somewhere unknown. Horde players then got a quest that explained they felt compelled to bring the knife to Sylvanas.

We were never really told why N'zoth cared about getting the knife or ensuring it ended up with Azshara through circuitous means. But odds are he is planning something.

The information on that site seems pretty sloppily edited, so not sure what to make of that "forbidden reach"/"exile's reach" confusion. Seems an easy mistake to make in either saying it or transcribing given both have "reach" in the name. I think exile's reach is staying

I can imagine Silvermoon being under siege or partially taken over and the combined forces using Lordaeron as a new neutral capital and staging ground for the launch into Quel'thalas. Actually, Lordaeron city would be a great capital for both factions to share.

Thanks. Given I can barely remember yesterday at times, one questline a few years ago isn't that surprising that I don't remember it.

What's the city hub btw ? Did they tell us ?
(Dalaran,again, maybe ? Since it's in the gameplay trailer)

Khaz Algar.

Dornogal on the Isle of Dorn, listed on the site. I'm curious why they showed Dalaran for Alleria.

The Earthen city. That I think is like DOnegal but can't remember the spelling

Khaz Algar earthen city.

[Marlamin]

Khaz Algar.

Khaz Algar is the name of the continent

[Valysar]

Okay thanks, I've missed that part I guess

Probably going to see Vereesa.

Well that's silly. Khaz Algar City then.

I don't think the name was in the features trailer. They said it in the what's next panel

[Hitei]

It was mentioned off hand during the zone explanation. "something something... this is where you'll find all the amenities you'd expect of a capital city"

[Cheezits]

Forbidden Reach being confused with Exiles Reach makes sense, but it would also make sense if Razsageth storms knocked a ship there and they are changing the story. Maybe we would get Razsageths visage there?

Could take place after the Evoker story but before the Expedition gets to the Waking Shores.

Why they would change that so much I'm not sure. Maybe because a lot of ER was mid in writing and theming? Or because ER was written with BFA in mind and they want to update it with the timeskip?

Please don't take my two favorite Horde capitals from me...

You can have Stratholme. But we're not putting out the fires.

[Khaza-R]

City of Threads sounds cool. A lot like Suramar 2.0

As for Midnight, I wonder if the new version of Quel'thalas will be added to the EK map
