Who is final boss in WoW lore? Void lords?

[Biomega]

“The Wheel of WOW turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.”

There is none.

So you're saying the final boss is Brandon Sanderson?

[Kyphael]

There is no such thing as a final boss for a story that has no ending.

This. It used to be Sargeras, but now, who knows? The answer is "when the game stops making money, whatever boss they're at will be the final boss." Hopefully they will get plenty of heads up when they know there won't be any new expansions so they can do a proper finale, but with this thing running on endlessly like The Simpsons, I don't even know what that would look like.

The Lord Lords, lords of all the things. Masters of all the other primordial forces.

Sargeras hasn't been the final boss since 2016.

Walking to the Water Cooler without getting raped by a senior developer, heard they've been planning this one for awhile now

As much as I agree in that current Blizz sucks and is full of harassers and whatnot...

Can we please keep this thread relevant?

[Grazrug]

Void lords make the most sense.

Sargeras/the Burning Legion in general was the final boss, because Legion was the end of Warcraft.

Hence why I said used to be. Past tense. For decades he was considered the be all, end all.

If only. That could have actually been a nice story book ending to Warcraft/WoW story started with the original RTS at large. The Orcs' invasion was tied directly to The Legion, not originally in the first game, but eventually revealed. It was the perfect ending.

Once again, even then that was an unknown, as even though he was called "the great enemy" and whatnot, the Old Gods were also implied to be "stronger" or at least "far more terrifying" than Sargeras back in the day. Obviously that's bullshit now, but you can see where things can get a bit messy, no?

Fallen First One.

Can a First One even "fall from grace" in that traditional sense?

[Guyviroth]

I've always believed in the concept of "Fate" being some form of higher power. It's possible that this 7th power is actually Fate in the WC universe.

Tinfoil hat time.

Fate creates the six powers: Order, Chaos, Life, Death, Light, Void. Each one is created to oppose another by design, to keep a cycle going, to keep the proverbial wheel of Fate turning. Much like how mortal souls keep the Shadowlands going, it is possible that these clashes of opposing forces fuels Fate. The purpose of it, we do not know.

Legion, BfA and Shadowlands had hints of going against Fate. In Legion, Illidan denies his Fate as the child of the Light's prophecy, and again when Velen states that "our survival was never in Fate's hands". In BfA, there is the background notion of how it was Fate that the Horde and Alliance would forever fight one another. In Shadowlands, the majority of the Jailer's plan was to break the cycle of life and death because we did not have control over our fate (in the very least, that was Sylvanas' motive). In Dragonflight, there is also some notions of this motif as well. An example being Chromie trying to find a way to avoid Nozdormu's Fate of becoming Murozond.

It is possible that these small notions of Fate will find its way into future expansions. It is also possible that these culminating situations of changing Fate will end up pissing off this 7th power, which will then open up the expansion where we actually face them. Once they are defeated, we will become truly free from Fate itself.

But that's just my take on it anyways.

[Cosmicpreds]

Fate being the 7th power is a unique idea, but I highly doubt it. Especially when you consider we have lower tier mfs trying to manipulate/rewrite our fates however they wish, and we still defy them regardless. We defy fate all the time, even.

The 7th power seems to be so crazy, that is scares the Void and Zovaal. I doubt he would fear something guys like Roh'kalo can easily manipulate and wield.

its bobby kotick.

the raid is being assisted by microsoft, but perhaps they turn into even greater villains?!?!

Buy the next expansion to find out!
