Logos Of Azeroth: What Are They Telling Us
This makes total sense, if it doesn't happen I'll be very shocked. What I want to see is Anduin give up his father's blade and use a shadow version of Light's Wrath as a Shadow priest, After destroying the Scarlet Crusade in the raid that is ;)
That would be pretty cool to see as well.
The rings around the globe are a Titan containment device, like the toy you get at Tyrhold. It's also covered in runes, runes are domination magic used to control power. 'This world is a prison' For us and our Old gods ;)
Something that confuses me about Y'shaarj, is didn't he get ripped out long before 'the sundering'? The black empire was a VERY long time ago right? Or did the sundering only create the main continents and not Pandaria? Also isn't the blood of N'zoth all throughout Azeroth's oceans? And C'thun's blood draining into the land? And Yogg'Saron has buildings and armor made from his blood? The old gods are everywhere >->
Yes, Y'shaarj was ripped out before the sundering, at the time he controlled the largest part of the world and was likely the largest old god as well. His removal is what created the well of eternity. Being ripped from the planet would have caused his blood to rain down over a large area. Possibly much of the continent. The sundering then broke the one supercontinent into the four main continents of Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend, and Pandaria. As for the blood of the other old Gods, Yogg'Saron's is the most prevalent in game, being everywhere in Northrend. I don't know of any references to N'zoth's or C'thun''s blood, but logic would dictate that yes N'zoth's is probably diluted in the ocean and C'thun's is seeping into the sands of Silithus. Additionally, Y'shaarj was the only one who was outright killed by the Titans, the others were just defeated and then imprisoned so in theory less of their blood would have been spilled until adventures came along and finished them off.
Awesome video! Big fan of the story. Haven’t read chronicles yet but I own it and I was wondering which page does it mention y’shaarjs scattered body?
Chronicle vol 1 page 36, and Chronicle volume 4 page 14 are the two versions of the story

I am not an expert but by what i know/understand WoW's game engine dose not support these features ....aka is basically impossible to implement them unless they redesign a new game engine from scratch ..
They are constantly updating and changing the game engine as is evidenced by things like the addition of warbands. Its possible, just more a question of if they want to dedicate the resources to it.
Thats a great quick lore update vídeo, you should definately turn this into a YT Shorts format!
@@PreacherGames thanks. Originally I was gonna but it was a bit too long.
Voidknight - i mean, why not as a hero tree. but for a new class its to -notnew-
@@nataschajordan6053 I'd be happy with a hero tree too. That would be a good alternative to a full class.
No reason a priest can't become a paladin. Lady Liadrin was a priest before she became a Blood Knight (Paladin). Think there was another priestess that became a paladin. Part of the Paladin Order Hall storyline in Legion I think.
@@Kithhurrn I never did the paladin orderhall, that's cool to know.

Thank you for the 💙
ESO Housing System but in WoW would be amazing. Houses physically in world as part of the world itself, instanced so everyone can unlock it and use it, freely accessible across all alts, furniture can be freely crafted and bought (and easily exchangeable across all unlocked/owned houses), with recipes discoverable by doing content. You can even have assistants roam, and you can even set the pathways for how the AI paths around the place. To get a house, you just need the gold to purchase and there is no stupid auction economy, or neighborhood, tied to it. Its just Breezehome, but its your apartment in the middle of Stormwind and you can freely walk to it after spending time at the auction house selling or buying the latest haul or drinking in the inn after the 50th raid wipe. Absolute bliss. What is better is Blizzard already have the perfect system to implement in-world instances and the environment/asset art team will have more cool stuff to design for world building in future expansions, plus new content people can grab from the trading post.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention the trading post, that would be another great way to give stuff for housing.
Anywhere in the world, yes, and on a floating island. Alts living there as well is a really cool idea! Blizzard, pls make this happen!
@@Iggypox alts, pets and mounts for the win :)
These are some amazing points and ideas man! This is definitely how I see housing being implemented if they ever DO decide to do it. In terms of how the house is designed and decorated, I for sure think that a "Sims-style" outlook should be how it's pulled off. You're given a plot of land to which you design the shape and height of the house and having themed wall/floor/roof/interior skins that are earned through reputation.
@@louieflingem housing skins from reputation just makes the most sense at least for the race/faction specific styles.
i love you are trying but for blizzard to see this, or even think of implementing this in your vission. Well buddy you would have more luck getting hit by the same lightning twice
Oh yeah I'm pretty sure this will never get seen by blizzard, but I still like doing the thought exercise and contributing to the conversation
So like the gw2 housing that is about to release this august?
Lol is it? I haven't looked at how they are doing it yet. Guess I'll have to go look at that
Blizzard... PLEASE!!!!
Maybe if enough people ask 🤞
The garrison was a hot mess. it had it good parts but it was most bad because once it was over. it had little use. I mostly use it as a port because it is free. It saves you money here and there but not as much now. It was gold when crafting was real stupid and before the nerfs.
Yeah the garrisons were not what we were looking for. They isolated players and didn't allow for the fantasy of building or customizing your own space.
@@RooksTavern Still it could be use for a base to start from for player hosing. It had a a lot of functions that were nice.you seen your battle pet run around . You had a stable to see your mounts in . To bad they had nothing for armor sets on display like they had in some class halls. "trophy' on display is a must have for player housing.
@@blackgriffinxx yeah the battle pets and mounts were good and I think should be included in any player housing. I think having access to mining and herbalism without needing the professions was a bad idea as it reduced the need to interact with other players.
Just stumbled upon this video, that’s actually really good
Thanks. 😀
You need to leave the house.
It would be domination magic, not shadow. He was the literal vessel for the jailer.
Are you saying you think he will become a Domination Paladin? That would certainly be an interesting twist. But given how much he struggled with his experience of being dominated, I can't see him turning around and using that on others.
@@RooksTavern He may be able to control it as he was able to break free of it. If he can control it he does not need to dominate anyone he can simply use its power when he needs it. Meaning the Demons of the maw are at his call as he is now the new Jailer. Would be an interesting twist indeed. But something tells me that role now falls to Sylvanas she may be the new jailer making things right releasing souls that do no belong and keeping those that do in the maw.
@@grimspur Okay I can dig that.
its almost certainly just down to the logo art team and cutscenes team using completely different assets to make the logo, with the goal just being having the same effect (or to accentuate certain locations on the animated one) over being 1:1 identical to each other
Thats really cool, i wonder if they're titan facilities?
That's a good thought, we know of titan facilities in silithus, ungoro, and uldum. There could be one in desolace that we don't know about.
@@RooksTavern I am going to re read the Chronicles, I sense there will be a clue! I will return with answers soon
@@BenchwarmerWoW Probably in the new one coming out next month. ;)
Just found this video, looks like at one point there was a titan vault in Desolace, ua-cam.com/video/mg2PiW8KMkI/v-deo.htmlsi=KEG07qZ2RcmW281C
@@RooksTavern oh if that's true then it definitely leans into the cracks are from titan facilities. It all aligns! This kind of lore makes me so excited for wow!
The leylines! The nexus in Coldarra was supposed to have one of the highest concentrations of arcane energy from the leylines where a large crack was forming
Oh nice catch I didnt think of that. And Desolace has Maraudon, which is full of elemental and life energy, so wouldn't be to surprising if it's on a leyline nexus.
i just noticed too, that the ring with the runes has 4 cracks on it, almost like a dragon grabbed it and squeezed
Yes, and they seem to get worse in the midnight logo.
Probably iridikron
You do realise the globe in the logo actually rotates, like a normal planet would do? It just pauses when the logo is done "loading". Pretty bs video.
That may be true, but it has stopped on the same spot in the eastern kingdoms for every expansion. With the exception of Warlords of Dreanor where it showed Dreanor instead of Azeroth. This is the first time it has stopped somewhere else.
He's sharing something he thought was interesting with us, cut him some slack will you? Honestly.
@@JossRyan1991 no
@koenvandeneede1706 You do realize that it's a not a real planet rotating so anything it lands on was scripted and someone could see intent, especially given a difference that hasn't been there on most other cinematics. I hope you realize that. Realizing things is very important. Pretty bs comment.
@@JamesAlbertBrown uhu okay? So what is your point?
I feel like warbands should be kept out of dungeons above heroic and should not have any part in raid what so ever unless they add them to the story raids. I also feel like delves should be m+ for solo players with bran bronze beard being the only other “player”allowed. I feel like trying to balance “followers” around m+ or raids would be a nightmare they would either be too good and people would min/max the amount of followers or they would be garbage and having to use them would be to big of a burden. There also the idea that if the followers are as good as an average player does the player base start getting split between player groups and follower groups, and will that start causing group queues to get even longer than they are now?
My thinking on the warbands in dungeons is that it would be a separate system than the LFG/ Mythic+ System with its own set of rewards and would progress the outdoor track of the great vault in the way that the Delves do. If you did that, it would keep it separate enough from the main dungeon ecosystem that you wouldn't run into as many issues. As far as allowing followers in raids, the main idea is make it so more people can see the content. If the rewards were reduced for each spot filled by a follower then those wishing for the most optimal play would still be funneled into the normal systems. In the same way that LFR and normal mode Raids are two different ecosystems, and serve different portions of the player base, I envision follower dungeons and raids serving a different player base than normal/heroic/mythic raids.
the campfire cusomization would be nice, so the login screen can have different themes.
I agree. I'm gonna talk about this more in my video on how they might be able to do player housing.
Bro player housing :') how can WoW be the biggest mmorpg with the worst implementation of player housing ever. I'm not even a retail player but these are great ideas, I'd love to see it
Maybe good things come to those who wait? 😉
@@RooksTavern Garrison was the attempt of player housing, with my guild we waited and were ready to player housing back in Cataclysm. It's just another thing Blizzard will never add again.
If you count the farm in Mists of Pandaria they have tried player housing 2 times so far. There were aspects of both systems that were good but ultimately they both failed because it wasn't what the community was looking for. The biggest down fall of both the farm and the Garrisons was that they reduced the connection between players. I think for player housing to work it needs to be a system that brings players together. One of the ways to do that would be adding crafted items to each profession that could be used to decorate the player housing.
That actually sounds really nice
They seem to finally be starting to listen to their community so here is hoping we get something even close to this. They keep saying Warbands is about ease of play, love to see them really back that up.
No. Just no.
Why not? Do you prefer light Anduin?
It'd be really cool to see a shadow paladin, it'd also be a perfect way for blizzard to introduce that class. That being said blizzard drops the ball all the time when it comes to things the community wants
I'm still hopeful they will listen to feedback and at least let us run follower dungeons with our warband as the support npcs.
@@RooksTavern hopefully, we do seem to be seeing an era of gaming where companies are actively communicating with its players. So maybe blizzard will wise up.
there is void elf paladin now aswell
It would make perfect sense for a void elf paladin to use shadow.
No pls. Its already turning into a bad fanfic with Friendship is Power Horde/Alliance BS and literal demons being redeemed and characters sucking up void juices that corrupt titans and dragon aspects being set up as saviors while having no side effects.
You know the motto, it is canon if it makes money!!!
I think he'll be a Paladin of Eclipse from the Riftwalkers area.
I love this. I didnt know about the eclipse Paladins but that perfectly encapsulates what I hope they do with Anduin. Embrace shadow now but then embrace balance.
This ideas so cool.... blizzard arent that clever though.
True enough we're getting data that he's returning to the light instead. One-sided writing as usual
Yeah I was a little saddened when I saw that data from the alpha.
This would ruin the story id much rather him reconnect with the light via arathi everyone loves evil....
boring.
Blizzard has been establishing for a while now that shadow is not evil and light is not good. Good and bad exist in both. So embracing shadow is not the same as embracing evil. Light and shadow are two sides of the same coin.
Everyone's 'Evil' from a certain point of view ;)
would be cooll to have a DPS plate that scales with INT. Heals/dps/tank.
thats a cool theory! im excited to see the andiun story continue for sure in tww =)
Yes, I know there is data coming out of the alpha that points to Anduin returning to the light instead of embracing shadow, but I still like the idea and I wrote this script before that data came out.
Maybe a new spec for whatever class Bliz has decided Anduin is?
Let me know how many you have found!
Ever wondered why it always overcomes dark? Creates life. Brings warmth. You pick like 3 things that offend you but forget about the rest. Never seen dark bring any good thing into the world. Whether a game or real life. Flip on the light and poof your dark is gone. 🎉
I'm not trying to say that light is all bad, I'm saying that it's not all good. Sure it Brings warmth and life, but without the reprieve of night, that warmth would just as easily scorch the life it nurtures. Many animals hunt at night and some plants only bloom at night. Without both, the world doesn't work.
The backstory of my lvl 1 dnd character
It's a good tragic backstory that gives lots of great character motivations.
Tltl
I'd personally rather see Azshara team up with Zalatath, than get a redemption arc.
Man I hope it's the Naga being restored that would be amazing.
Good questions indeed
There is actually a decent chance that the Titans are keeping Azeroth imprisoned somehow, as I believe Bellular has pointed out. The (fairly limited) amount of art for The Last Titan has the same prison rings as the ones that trapped the Incarnates. They might want to control or use it for their own ends as much as everyone else does. It's a huge cosmic free-for-all where everyone wants this huge source of power.
Yes, either already imprisoned or will be imprisoned/reimprisoned when they return.
