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

[whoisqnx]

I can't wait to see Iridikron flying at max speed towards Storm Peaks in the 13.0 cinematic after the Titans land at Ulduar, just like Deathwing flying in the Cataclysm cinematic.

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

They really heard us complaining about little to no civilizations in DF so they gave us Earthen, Arathi and Nerubian kingdoms.

Yeah, I definitely am loving how it feels more urbanized. Also gives me some hope for a potential Silvermoon 2.0

Sidenote : I think its interesting we haven't seen the Arathi depicted at all. Unless I missed it.

They look like regular humans in the zone preview but they are in the distance. but the dungeon guy looks to be kul tiran.

I think they will end up being proper Half-Vrykul in the end. So KT but not fat.

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"

It's on the Website. Dornogal, the Earthen capital of Khaz Algar, on the Isle of Dorn west of Pandaria.

SWOLBALD?

So a few questions
Why Nerubians if the location is close to Silithus? Why not Quiraji?
How did Arathi end up there? Shouldn't they be close to Lordaeron?

The location is also close to Pandaria, but the only klaxxi looking "paragons" are made with the help of Xalatath.

Jesus Christ, this got me thinking twice about taking candle

[Valysar]

Something is off on the Cataclysm Classic trailer ... We can see baby crawg o_O

Qiraji are not really shown to be highly sentient, so that is probably why.
Arathi being there is described as a mystery though, so might be some magical shenanigans.

Nerubians are more popular and have a more accessible underground theme (no flesh tunnels needed) Would have been cool if it was Qiraji, but this means they can reuse them for 13.0 in Northrend.

[Jaggler]

we're probably moving deeper towards silithus, so there will probably be qiraij there

As I understand it: we enter the underground stuff through khaz Algar, but it probably actually spans (in lore, not technically in terms of world server) underneath a lot of the eastern kingdoms. Remember these modern zones are huge compared to old style zones

Very likely this. Especially if we get a revamp Northrend in 13.0, kill two birds with one race model.

That would be cool if the impetus for friendly Nerubians is that they help us fight the Qiraji.

Bug War, and lets Uldaz(?)/the Core zone have new enemies.

I wonder if "War Within" has multiple meanings, also referring to the internal struggles of people like Anduin and Alleria, and of course the worldsoul itself.

I was thinking the same this morning, I think it's going to address those indeed

[Sondrelk]

We were all scarred from Shadowlands. The grind, the monotony. Then Thrall came back, and we just had to agree that in our heart of hearts, we cannot just leave Azeroth behind when he talks about cool shit happening.
