Hey,
First time posting a speculative thread so i thought i'd be like all the cool kids on MMO and do some thinking about the lore.
First of all, i am a massive fan of the warcraft lore, so i do know quite a bit about it, but i still find all the aspects and titans very fun to read about.
Well, it's pretty well known that Nozdormu is the leader of the Infinate dragonflight. This was pretty much confirmed by the event in Dragonblight.
I would however like to bring up the three current events which the Infinates tried to change:
-Thrall's escape from the humans
-Midvh's defence creating the black morass
-Arthas's purge of Stratholme
These are three key parts in lore. If Thrall didn't escape, the Horde would not be what it is today. If the orcs didnt enter via the portal because of Midvh, the world would be a completely different place - with no orcs? If Arthas didn't purge Stratholme, he would not have ultimately entered his quest into Northrend and ultimately become the LK.
Thats the idea anyway. All these events would change the entire culture and world of azeroth. It would not be what we know and love today anyway.
But my question and my thoughts is, how does this is any way effect Nozdormu? What does he gain by doing this?
It all boils down to the Old Gods in my mind. If Nozdormu was corrupted, that would make the most sense, rather than him doing this for the better. It reminds me of another Malygos, only somewhat indirectly effecting the world rather than declaring open war.
Whilst i think that this is very interesting to see the end result of this story, i doubt that this will be in Cataclysm, unless they release a Malygos style raid, which i hope to god they don't.
I could be wrong, but i would be interested to hear what you all think!
Good or Baddie?
When do you think we will find out his story?
