A quest in the Skeins of Azj'Kahet (might require rep with the Weaver) seems to further imply something life themed further inside the caves. Specifically an old Nerubian drawing of a giant flower in a cave. Sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would be a focal point of a future patch.

Also. I don't know if it was known already. But I do enjoy the backstory of the Kaheti Nerubians of specifically leaving Northrend to escape the Old Gods. And not just that Neferess went against the Black Empire emissary because.

Literally spoke about yesterday and the day before.

Orwenya pretty much tells you the biggest clue what is without telling you exactly what it is.

The fact there's renegade Druids operating so deep down below the surface is a clue in itself.

Well, my theory is nearly confirmed. Today i could start the "the call of the worldsoul" quest with where you choose what you do this week, i choose worldquests and Faerin told me: "Do you also hear Beledar's song? Our deeds give it strength!". Faerin directly confirms with this that, at least for the Arathi, the radiant song is from Beledar. This combined with Anduins radiant song vision upon entering Hallowfall, and his remarks about the Radiant Remants being similar to Azerite is too on the nose to be a coincidence. The radiant song comes from the Beledar.

Faerin confirms that she thinks the song comes from Beledar. That's all. It's perfectly possible she's just wrong.

Blizzard still hasn’t added the ensembles or arsenals for the Dragonflight PvP sets.

Each expansion they push them back a little further, I wonder why that is.

They did for the open world pvp sets, and they also added the vicious mounts already. Either they forgot or want to keep the sets a bit longer prestigious 'till the next big patch / season.

We know she is wrong.

Because not only have we had Azeroth communicating with people on screen like 3 times now, but every single source of relevance very much confirms her to be the one causing the song.

Faerin literally grew up in a cave with next to no knowledge about broader Azerothian ongoings.
Of course she thinks the visions must be from the Beledar, it and the old Emperors prophecies are the only reference point she has.

She has no idea that the planet even has a World Soul.

Please point me to any worldsoul/radiant song related quests/events past Magnis shortcut that isn't tied to Hallowfall. I have not finished the other zones and all sidequests, but every other area is absolutely quiet about the worldsoul/radiant song. But Hallowfall points it out mutliple times.

The endgame questline in Dornogal starts by having us go to the Chamber of Memories. Every zone has a place to see Azeroth's memories. It's hinted very strongly that the Radiant song and Azeroth's memories popping up like it did in the Pre-patch are linked.

Anduin did think he heard it coming from Beledar too once, but there's too much that only fits if it really is Azeroth.

I think it makes the most sense if Beladar is echoing Azeroth's message. My prediction is that it's a monitoring device (or station), broadcasting whatever Azeroth says to the forces of the Light so they know to intervene in a crisis. And that will be why they come to our aid in Midnight (since Metzen already said we'd be siding with them against the Void).

Is there hard evidence that the Goblins and Harronir/Rootlands are going to feature in the same patch, or is that just speculation?

I don't believe there's anything connecting them outside of speculation

[Al Gorefiend]

I mean, there are only 3 known places in Kezan: the wrecked Bilgewater port, a town literally called "Crapopolis" (what a joke of a race), and Undermine.

They are, in fact, a joke of a race and everyone notices.

They're funny and exciting.

Far as I know just speculation, but seems a pretty safe bet. The goblins often are located in particularly nature-y areas to then ravage it.

Still speculation I think, trying to figure out how the datamined Goblin raid stuff can connect with the story we've actually seen. The other popular guess is us actually going to Kezan, but with the setup we have so far, I don't see how that could be anything other than a complete tangent, something that I'd hope to avoid with the new focus on story. And there's no way a patch story would be enough to do Undermine justice for Goblin fans anyway.

Plus the Harronir/Rootlands are obviously the biggest setup with have for a major patch, and with us probably only getting two more tiers, that leaves two real possibilities (assuming that string wasn't misleading and we even get a Goblin raid in the first place)- either we go to the Rootlands in 11.1 and deal with the Goblins there, or the Rootlands are the climax of TWW in 11.2 where we fight a more significant threat. The Goblins aren't nearly connected enough to the ongoing story, or a serious enough threat, to be the big finale so they'd have to be 11.1 or nothing.

[micwini]

I see everyone speculating about 11.1 & 11.2.
Any 11.3 believers?

I don't see it happening now that they're actually releasing expansions more often. I doubt they would speed up how often we get major patches, especially not enough to fit in a whole extra season and still keep up the faster expansions.

As far as I'm concerned though, that just means getting expansion-level features more often, so I'm happy with it.
