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

[Makorus]

We literally don't until it is revealed. You dismiss hints for possibility A and treat hints for possibility B as proof.

Ah yes, we are dismissing the icon names literally being "goblinraid", just like "emeralddreamoutdoor" didn't mean anything, and the kultiras icon didn't mean anything.

Icon filenames are 100% accurate. People dismissing it are coping, I am sorry to say that. I am not really happy that we are getting Undermine, but you might as well accept it.

[Ksgrip]

Hm. Well. That's definitely interesting.

Have.. have they divorced them???

I am not sure if to interpret this as a break up or as a setup for Alleria to come back

[Cheezits]

Arator got dragon tattoos (one dark one light) on his arms from "someone amazing". Take that as you will.

Sure. But just because the names are accurate doesnt mean they can't be misleading. Loads of people thought a Ardenweald raid was a definite going by the ArdenwealdRaid weapons.

All the weapon means is that we are getting a raid with a significant enough Goblin presence to warrant theming the weapons after it. This could mean Undermine for a full patch and raid. It could mean Gallywix invades the Rootlands or whatever, and the raid is an entirely separate aesthetic from the zone.
Could also mean a Megadungeon set somewhere Goblin themed, or for that matter that it's a raid that is only half Goblin themed, and that is why the weapons look like that.

Oh I'm not commenting on the short story, this is about that Harronir Orwenya is a Dreadlord idea.

Sounds to me like Alleria is just dodging spending time with Turalyon and Arator by constantly going on missions that give her an excuse to leave. Not so much that her and Turalyon have taken a break.

Definitely a setup for Midnight though, when Alleria will have to come back to Silvermoon and save it alongside Arator.

[Nymrohd]

The short story was sweet though I don't think we learned anything? I have no idea why Arator has a house in Silvermoon and I guess they decided to remove the elven distaste for half-elves. It does make it clear he will be there for Midnight.

[Sondrelk]

Ohh. Well this is awkward...

I suppose Orwenya being a Dreadlord is possible. Though personally I would have assumed that the writers have completely forgotten about the whole "Vassal of Life" hook.

Where's that from? Will he proclaim himself Rand ar'Ator, the Dragon Reborn?

Obviously Arator has a house in Silvermoon to explain why he is a high ranking knight in Silvermoon for Midnight.

My guess is that the Belves have phased out distaste for Half-elves on account of years of cooperation with the Horde, alongside their race dying out after Arthas attacked.

I think you are right. Man that was a painful read ( a good one mind you ) but so fucking sad lol.

I am more convinced now Allerias arc is about reuniting with her family after having dominated the void. The he whole “there is hope to repair what was broken”

[Raetary]

it was an ok read.

Though, the only thing we really learnt is that Arator has a shitty taste in tattoos.

interesting cover for the book on the last page of the PDF. Thrall, Anduin, Moira, Gazlow, Alleria and Faerin. Thrall is really super imposed on that cover. But so far Thrall has not that much of an impact in TWW. Perhaps this will change in the last zone and patch content?

Why aren’t you happy?

It’s inevitable we were going to get it eventually. It’s one of the very few big known lore locations we haven’t visited. It was always going to be seen at some point.

Count your blessings it’s seemingly been relegated to patch raid/zone content when it should have been a capital city at the very least.

[Kiivar86]

As much as some people might wish they'd leave the cosmic stuff behind, they've shown they're clearly not going to, so I would expect them to retain stuff, even the vassal of life hook.

It may well just be chance but it is odd, all the same. Female, seemingly Life aligned, green eyed, bat shapeshift.

Or something as small as a singular Goblin raid boss.

Cover background in case anyone wanted it.

Thrall is wide. Like, you could fit three Gazlowe's in there, waist-wise.

He’ll likely be a primary character in the prospective Undermine and Rootlands patches.

He has history with the Goblins and him being the World Shaman seems fitting for a Life based zone.

Also I noticed a tweet about how Alleria randomly shouts out Darkhan, comparing a void Hallowsfall guy to him. So I assume he'll be back shortly for Midnight in Ghostlands.
