The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
So are the Brokers now Agents of Order (although they see themselves above the Titans it seems), or did they steal their mounts from the Plane of Order? Any other leaks from the Grimoire? It's weird that we don't get an ebook variant of that, we had it for the Chronicles iirc.

Do you see the infinity sign the snakes make? This shows a lot. It’s looks like life and death cycle of the whole universe with elements in. Let’s not forget this is a Shadowlands chart, still no clear info about the First Ones though. If I read it as a whole then maybe First Ones are huge elementals. Oh this is all getting good, makes me wanna smoke some.
I expected to get disappointed but holy shit.
THE HORDE WILL ENDURE
THE HORDE IS STRONG!
Tree on Life sections seems to have symbol like of Crescent Moon
does it confirm anything about Elune?
In one of the preview images the narrating Broker mentions her indirectly while talking about the WQ.
Pretty much calling her a Pantheon of Life member in the context of the WQ being a Pantheon of Death member.

OT: not much refining there.
It's just the old chart we had, just turned around a bit.
Plus some small extra details.
Which is good, at least they are sticking to it.
The Cycle of Life and death.

Broker's comment about the absurdity of Chronicle's map feels like Danuser's jab at Metzen. Completely disrespectful.
Christ, the whole point of it is that it's the same shit but turned in a different direction because the Brokers, being from the realm of Death think that the place they're in is the most important one there is and its opposite is the most important contrast. The Chronicle version is equally spaced because the writers at the time intended it as a final telling The Titans equally weigh the realms. It's meant to be tongue-in-cheek that they make the exact same thing but it's prioritized differently and that they treat reality as the Great Cycle because the things that exist there are mostly just an anima farm for the Shadowlands denizens. It's not a retcon or even new information, it's just marginally clever characterization through visual design.
@TheFirstOnes
Point, Order is represented through a Broker symbol and the Shadowlands as the Arbiter so it's not that bad. It's just a personal nitpick.

Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.
Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.
so, its the exact same thing, but less detailed and written from a brokers perspective, so therefore shows death and life as most important instead of all forces equally?
got it, cant wait for the "chronicles of the first ones" in 2 years which shows everything, but this time from the first ones perspective.
and then the "beyonders chronicle" 3 years after that.
and then the....

These brokers are pissing me off, they gather and use knowledge of the First Ones for profit. I bet Ven'ari is the same and sooner or later she will show us what she is capable off. Then I will put my hands on her and farm her endlessly, because I'm so damn tired seeing First Ones being so humiliated and insulted in every possible way.

I kind of prefer when Warcraft lore and mythology isn't ironclad and instead mostly perspective-based - it leaves room for speculation and creativity when approaching it, leading to any number of alternate interpretations that add flavor and substance to the lore as opposed to detracting from it. This strikes me more as subtle propaganda from the realm of the Death (especially from the Brokers) as concerns the paramount nature of their own realm - while simultaneously trying to lambast the Chronicle as the same from the bias of Order.
This, to me, returns a lot of agency to the player to make their own decisions about the nature of the Warcraft universe and metacosm.
