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.

And it be Bwonsamdi.

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 StraataUther is...a cursed Forsworn? NOOO! PallyTaur's heart is breaking....Commento di shadowedscholar"also don't like the implications made about the titans and how the blizzard writers have this fixation on everything having to be "morally grey" -_- news flash: there can be beings that are plain evil or plain good, nothing wrong with that."Commento di shadowedscholarSure the first death was a setback, and the second was an embarassment, but I'm not one to let death stop my rise to power. None shall stand against Kael'thas the Immortal!Commento di AmetrineHm... blue... Uther...

BLUTHER!
(distant sound of panicked horses)

:DCommento di SoifonAt this point story hype is dead. WoD , Legion and BFA murdered everything I cared for. Unless Tyrande dies and Malfurion becomes the badass he used to be or Tyrande lives and Malfurion becomes the badass he used to be.......my focus will stay on gameplay only. They killed Varian , killed Vol'jin , butchered Malfurion's character , butchered WoD storyline where we were supposed to face Grom Hellscream(I was so looking to it) and pissed on the Lich King. That was a long and hard hitting combo. No , for me.......the story is dead.Whatever this thing is now is like the plot in pron.....expected to be there but useless.Commento di VanderzGod I hope the Forsaken don't get lightforged. I like the way they're morally ambiguous to evil. What with all the experiments and blight manufacturing. That's why I always play Forsaken. I don't want them to specify them as good and ruin their racial character.Commento di hotaru251"Sylvanas' loyalists have abandoned her"

So it was all for nothing after all? Why am I not surprised?Commento di IncandioThe real question is what will happen to the creatures inhabiting the world once that titan is born; will the titan contained within merely emerge, or will the entire planet be torn asunder in the process?Commento di TheWiseDwarfMan after having read all this, it feels like Shadowlands is going to be one of those expansions with its completely own story and no lore to continue working on once it ends. As if Blizzard just had a fresh brainstorming session instead of continuing with existing lore. Sure there are a bunch of famous characters and what else not, but it just feels like "Let's randomly resurrect a bunch of famous dead characters for nostalgia sake and see what we can do with them". It feels like you won't miss out on anything if you'd skip the Shadowlands expansion and wait for the next one to come out. Then again, I'll be playing it nonetheless and who knows what's going to happen during the expansion... But anyway, so far it sounds mostly dull, extremely random and nonsensical to me.Commento di KaerfemagshI want to know about arthas! he better be in this xpac...Commento di Elyseon"Sylvanas' loyalists have abandoned her"

So it was all for nothing after all? Why am I not surprised?Commento di Scilic"Sylvanas' loyalists have abandoned her"

So it was all for nothing after all? Why am I not surprised?Commento di AarkanYou know what lore moment I've been waiting for? Firing the Bilgewater Cannon. At Blizzcon a few years ago Alex Afrasabi said they'd be firing the cannon in BFA. The cannon was not fired!Commento di HugoCostaWhat about King Varian Wrynn? Hope we can see him playing an important role in the Shadowlands.Commento di aernath"~~Sylvanas' Loyalists have abandoned her~~"
This has not been said anywhere on any interview.
The only precise thing said was: "There won't be choices in story anymore."
Clearly there are unexplained steps yet, also we don't know the plot of 9.0 so please, let's not manipulate assumptions and create needless drama.
Then people will start harassing writers and devs, so, sincerely, please Wowhead and anyone who's reporting or summarizing stuff:
Be responsible, objective and unbiased.Commento di matthewgeraldfreI will play Shadowlands, but I still dislike what they did with Sylvanas. Also, Calia better not lead the Forsaken. I would be comfortable with Voss.Commento di AussGive me the blood-verdant spheres as Revendreth covenant back-appearance for becoming besties with my Prince Kael and you'll have me kissing at Blizzard's feet with thanks, lolCommento di GrimbeardHow about this:

Silvanas' plan is to recover her Soul from the Maw, sent there by Frostmourne as she died the first time.

Once she has it, we confine the Jailer in a reforged Helm of Domination or smth similar.
