What? No... de whisper dat told me to make Sylvanas warchief... it be you?
You played your part perfectly, troll. And I would have tortured you for eternity... if not for someone's intervention.
I be hearin' enough! I want ya ta be knowin' sometin' before I destroy ya, Mueh'zala.
Dere only be room for one loa o' death.
And it be Bwonsamdi.

Hey dere Winter Queen! Ol' Bwonsamdi can be explainin'... see, I be findin' out dat Mueh'zala be takin' ya loa away.

Kel'Thuzad, except that the spirit of the Arch Lich and former master of Naxxramas has made its way to Maldraxxus. Based on datamined scenario steps, he's continued his treacherous and manipulative ways.

Alexandros Mograine and Lady Vashj (now called Baroness Vashj) are being tested within the House of the Chosen. The scenario steps would imply they're allies, despite their varied past.

Kael'thas Sunstrider returns yet again, seeking vengeance on an enemy from his past while confined to Revendreth for the crimes he committed in life. He is also listed as a boss encounter within the Castle Nathria dungeon, although it would appear that we attempt to save him from Denathrius', rather than defeat the Prince of Quel'Thalas yet again.

Rezan, the Loa of Kings who was killed early in Battle for Azeroth apparently made his own deal with Bwonsamdi, which means we may not have seen the last of him either.

From a story perspective, it is the base of the Jailer's power within the Maw, meant meant to hold the most dangerous creatures within the cosmos, but has now become a prison for many of Azeroth's greatest heroes who would threaten the Jailer's plans.

From a gameplay perspective, it serves as an infinite dungeon with roguelike progression, changing each time players enter and rewarding the materials used to craft legendary items at the Forge of Domination.

Commento di GrimoraRecovering Tyrande Whisperwind, as follow her through Torghast, fighting off various minions of the Maw and culminating in a battle against tortured Night Elf souls.

Seriously? Them being murdered and undeservedly tortured isn't bad enough? Now we have to fight them? You can't possibly be serious!Commento di vultrazFunny, I had a speculation about Rezan being behind Vol'jin's adventures several months before. I guess that the Winter Queen is the boss of Bwonsamdi, whose role is to deliver important spirits (like loa) from Azeroth to her for rebirth. Also he somehow has taken his troll brethren into care in his own pocket dimension (some people have put De Other Side in a sandbox, and it looks more like a bright and sunny troll heaven rather than Bwon's Necropolis).Commento di SultrySweet"Sylvanas' loyalists have abandoned her"

So it was all for nothing after all? Why am I not surprised?Commento di AzraelUltimaThe second Ardenweald in Tyrande's description is missing the second a. Also, there's a random Revendreth line in Bwonsamdi's text.Commento di ArakaraAnd her fans are still like "Yas Queeeen, ya have a plan! slay me!"Commento di AlakeiThancanKael'thas Sunstrider returns yet again, seeking vengeance on an enemy from his past while confined to Revendreth for the crimes he committed in life. He is also listed as a boss encounter within the Castle Nathria dungeon, although it would appear that we attempt to save him from Denathrius', rather than defeat the Prince of Quel'Thalas yet again.Commento di tupolew519Tyrande in thorgast? No way!Commento di fpcompany"Sylvanas' loyalists have abandoned her"

So it was all for nothing after all? Why am I not surprised?Commento di IllanyssIn one of the many datamined scenarios, Relive the last moments of the Night Warrior, implying that Tyrande (or at least her connection to Elune's vengeance) is defeated within the Shadowlands.Commento di LukomI've been playing WoW since early Vanilla and I have to say that I welcome these changes. While I still have much to learn about the lore, I find the lore to be my favorite part of the game. I just can't wait. I've handled many cons up to this point and just want to look forward to the pros. I'm so hyped!Commento di MordecayUsing "Gorribal" is misleading since that name and sword come from RPG. In canon, the Silithus sword hasn't been given that name.Commento di TheMightySaurusthe spirit of the former Warchief and Bwonsamdi head into the Shadowlands to unravel the mystery, coming into conflict with the Sandfury Loa of Death, Mueh'zala, and coming to the attention of the Winter Queen, leader of the Night Fae in Ardenweld.Commento di hrlqnFunny, I had a speculation about Rezan being behind Vol'jin's adventures several months before.

The more stuff is datamined from the Alpha, the more I think Denathrius is Arthas. The crown (which very much looks like the Menethil crown, which has been said to have disappeared from Lordaeron), the sword, the long white hair, being an enemy of Kael'thas ... In another tidbit of datamining we also know that Kael'thas is pursueing an "enemy from his past", and it's more than likely that it's Denathrius. What if Blizz hasn't said anything about Arthas because they're hiding him in plain sight?no oneCommento di Schattensang
Some people are convinced that Sylvanas knew we would beat Azshara and get out of it safe, but then, why tell Azshara to kill us?
Why even make the deal to begin with?
So Azshara would have the dagger? How does that even fit with Sylvanas' plan?

Her wonderful plan was to kill as many people to feed the Maw and get more power out of it. That's it.
Azshara and N'Zoth were just a distraction, it seems... but how could she have known what N'Zoth was going to do once free? How could she had known we'd be able to defeat him? In all honesty, the way we beat N'Zoth seemed like a big gamble, in-Lore.

All of this is SUPER SKETCHY.
