Discussion What I would like to see with Iridikron (speculations but marked as spoiler just in case) Spoiler

31 Upvotes

I just want the dude to be unwavering in his ideals. Not that we have had a lot of villains that changed their minds, but I would like Iridikron to go all in on the plan to fuck up the Titan's Order.

We can assume he's working with Xal'atath but we don't have confirmation on how or what he's doing. I doubt he gives a fuck about the Void just as much as Xal'atath does.

Xal just wants to be powerful and be a god above it all. Iridikron just hates how the pantheon made the universe.

I hope when everything starts coming together it plays out with Iridikron tripling down on his ideals. I don't want to see a last minute side switch because Xal is too crazy. I legit hope it's a moment where he lets everyone know "I don't care what you have to say. Fuck the Titans, fuck you, and fuck this order." (Obviously in a more eloquent way than that quote)

And if he's dying, I hope he has a conversation with everyone that cares to listen to him.

"Do you regret your actions, Iridikron? Everything could be destroyed because of you."

"No. I don't regret anything. I hope you all die too. Fuck the Titans." *dies*

Again, the dialogue will be more thought out than what I wrote in this post, but I want it to have that energy of "fuck you and fuck them. Eat shit and die."

Question Why is Ula'tek such a big deal?

20 Upvotes

1) Isn't Ula'tek just a Loa?

2) How strong is Ula'tek?

3) I read that Ula'tek is spawned from the Rift of Aln. Doesn't that mean that Ula'tek is tied to the Old Gods? If so, why would Ula'tek fight Kith'ix?

4) Is Ula'tek straight up evil? Or can she be reasoned with like other Loa?

Question Forgotten Pandaren Lore

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm writing this because of recently watching a video talking about current WoW lore. And part of it made me realize I might be the only one who seems to remember a piece of retconned lore.

It was sparked because of the mention that the whole Padaren expansion was just taken from the wc3 easter egg. But that isn't completely true.

I remember, during the early days of TBC, printing out lore pages from blizzards website to give to a friend who wanted to know this stuff (he didnt have a pc). But in it, there was a bit about the Pandaren during the war of the ancients.

In it, it said that they helped the night elves combat the legion. And due to the sundering, they withdrew themselves and stayed away from all the other races to not incur such a catastrophe. It was also mentioned they lived on a wandering island, which was why they could stay out of trouble.

Does anyone else remember this piece of lore before they changed it to the pandaren isolating before the war?

Question Vanilla and In-Game books

5 Upvotes

Currently working on a project from the view of an in-game character. Looking through the in-game books that are readable, are they considered canon? They seem to present a large amount of information that I previously assumed wasn’t know. Should it just be assumed that these are largely meta knowledge?

Discussion Kaelthas' connection to Northrend/Last Titan

0 Upvotes

So I had a thought, one I'm sure everyone has had: if they went out of their way to keep his dead lingering soul in the plot--why wouldn't they use him in midnight with the 'unification of the elves'? Everyone was speculating and of course we got the other one but...

With the remaining plot what purpose does he have left? We know it has to do with sin and the dark side of the elven legacy. He's currently partying with the cosmic space vampires and red anima--our cosmic soul 'blood/essence'

And then it hit me. The cosmic space vampires are just another iteration of WoW's ACTUAL vampires...the sanlayn....inherently tied to kaelthas as he brought the elves to northrend in pursuit of Arthas.

Sure, we've got the plot thread of Alastor and cosmic red 'agony' magic... inherently tied to blood and death. I'm sure we've all seen the link there, and they could just as easily have cut the thread in midnight with some nemesis/farewell to prey at the end of midnight...

...but what other way would you see kael returning than in northrend, the land of death and gods, a climactic finale to the story started back in WC3 (along with Sylvannas). There's no better way to let their characters 'die' and have their souls be at peace than to... finish their story where it began.

I also just like how we 'unified the elves' but specifically the ones we like. We already know naga are active linking us to Azshara's return, and satyrs tied to the emerald nightmare and rift of aln plot...but not much speculation on the sanlayn and their 'spokesperson'. They lost the lich king, they tried to work with Sylvannas, but in the end they only exist AS sanlayn because of kael.
