The blood moon found in tanaan?
The blood moon found in tanaan?
If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
I remember in some interview it was said that it was supposed to be dealt with during Shadow Lands, but I wager they forgot. Unless it comes shooting out during the Jailer fight.

Nevermind, guess it's just there until they have an idea.Will the sword disappear from Silithus?
The sword has a part to play in something to come.

Yes. This is exactly where the story will go, couldn't have said it better myself. Every final boss of each expansion we've had has turned out to be an agent of a bigger threat
BC - all villains are allies now.
WotLK - LK revealed to be the Jailer's agent of death on Azeroth.
Cataclysm - they were all working for N'zoth
MoP - No universal baddies
WoD - Sargeras
Legion - Sargeras revealed to be on a crusade against void lords
BfA - N'zoth. Who N'zoth's boss is hasn't been revealed, no doubt he himself was simply an agent sent to Azeroth by a void Lord.
SL - my guess is the Jailer will be revealed to represent some broken part of the cycle because long ago there was a first one that went evil or something and started whispering to the Jailer. Who this first one is? So incredibly powerful only an entire expansion pack could do him justice.
That big sword serves 2 purposes.
First was the azerite which is considered Azeroths blood which was part of the BfA expansion which ofc was the expansion after the world got stabbed.
Second is a memento of past expansions.See the gong in Silithus where you can see a cinematic for the opening of the gates of AQ or a shield in Dragonblight showing another cinematic at the black gate of ICC when Saurfang died and Bolvar got burned from the fires of the red dragonflight when they purged the scourge.
There might be another reason which the sword will somehow awaken the bugs and we get a Aqir expansion which wouldnt surprise me.
Lore wise, that sword is absolutely massive, as mentioned in my first post, I think there must be some repercussion for nature, no? Animals, plant life, ecosystems, on the surface, cave systems etcetera. All we've done is polishing a turd, that's not gonna make it any less.
It is common practice to leave blades in wounds till first aid is ready to deal with the cut directly, as long as it is kept immobile it shouldn't do more harm unless outside factors come into play such as poison or rust. While the blade caused a wound going in it is also obstructing the blood trying to come out. Think back to the Wandering Isle when the ship was removed.
Considering how it was referenced in the game and through dev interviews, it's doing something there, but they've always been vague. Doesn't help that the end of BfA's story in-game was just confusing/jarring when it came to actually healing Azeroth. The 'real' answer is probably Blizz had to rush the hell out of the story (again), leaving us with a fragmented mess that will likely either end up forgetting about the sword, or we'll be told "Well, it's not really THAT big of a deal anymore, you should be more concerned about <insert anything else to take focus off of sword>."
I imagine someone at Blizz had this grand idea that someone would reuse the sword. Honestly, I felt the best thing to do would've been to have the factions break down the sword into resources while we were stuck in Shadowlands during some tentative peace time, then just move on. Could I see some ham-fisted attempt to use the sword in 9.2 or 9.2.5? Certainly. Would it be satisfying or make a lot of sense? Almost guarantee it would not.
“Society is endangered not by the great profligacy of a few, but by the laxity of morals amongst all.”
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville
Silithus was practically wiped off the map, so I think it's safe to assume the sword had some environmental impact. However, how it's impacting the plant life and cave systems of southern Kalimdor just doesn't seem important to the story and I can't see it being the plan they supposedly have for it.
Azeroth is a planet. If the same rules applied, I imagine Aman'Thul would not have left the wound he caused wide open.
N'Zoth remains the only villain who "survived" all the retcons.
Kil'jaeden: pawn of Sargeras
Lich King: pawn of the Janitor
Deathwing: pawn of N'Zoth
Garrosh: pawn of Y'Shaarj (Alleria is stated to be the first mortal to successfully defy the Shadows' whispers, NOT Garrosh)
Archimonde: another pawn of Sargeras
Argus: pawn of Sargeras... and the Janitor/Denathrius I guess?
You can consider N'Zoth a pawn of the Void Lords, but it is worth noting that this info was already contained in the Chronicles. What did not happen is that N'Zoth wasn't retconned into being yet another pawn (willingly or not) of the Janitor, so that's something to keep in mind. The Janitor had his plans, and N'Zoth had his own plans. N'Zoth came very close to ultimate victory when he almost merged Ny'alotha with the World Soul, which would have spelt doom for the entire world. And it is likely that N'Zoth remains active, hiding in the shadows and waiting to strike again. And using the Janitor's invasion as a window of opportunity to recover.
As for the Janitor, it is very important to remember that he is NOT the creator of the Nathrezim (the agents who infiltrated all cosmic forces), Denathrius is. And Denathrius is just an ally of the Janitor. So it is very likely that the Janitor will end up being a pawn for whatever plan Denatrhius and his Nathrezim servants are working on. Denathrius is still active by the way, and though he is incapacitated within the sword, he was rescued by his Nathrezim.
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!
Just imagine later expansions.
It is revealed that the azerite which resulted from the wound caused by the sword plunged by Sargeras into Azeroth seeped into the ground infecting the Aqir which had a vast array of cave networks in Silithus which can stretch for up to 5 zones that include Uldum,Un'goro crater,Tanaris,Feralas and the southern Barrens. (do note that all these zones had bugs present in them).
This will bring with it an expansion of underground Azeroth that includes fighting the Aqir kingdom.
Just an idea i had

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.
