Today, I investigate what's going on with Azeroth, and what's really going on with the Titans.

You're a Warcraft and video game channel, do you know your audience? Why are you pushing this crap that has nothing to do with either? This doesn't make sense are you trying to not have your sponsors get sales?
Rid the data issues by giving your data to one company to deal with it. So they may sell on the data and then “remove” it.
I enjoy diving into the Lore more now then ever before, Pyromancer, yourself and others have done such a phenomenal job since Blizzcon developing the interest of so many people. Truly the resurrection of Warcraft!
I could not agree more! I even came back to retail thanks to all the lore speculation
Ok lady. 😂😂😂
Looking forward to the flaming in raids 😂
I think you are 100% correct about colors being the indicators of influence. Azerite itself was a hint, with the pure gold of Azeroth contaminated by the blue of the Titan's version of Domination Magic. When we see the world soul, it looks like a sun of gold caged in a nimbus of blue. And all this because the Titan's have seen the future and influenced the timelines so that the only one that can exist is the one in which they succeed, hence whey they likely have control of Nozdormu (blue eyes instead of the yellow of his flight).
Maybe that's why the infinite dragonflight want to make murozond to stop the titans using him
Obviously alliance colors 😂
murozond (slain / dying at End Time): amon'thul... what have you done...
Thank you for being our Deckard Cain of WoW, explaining legends by the fire and casting prophecies for the future.
Appreciate the time, and effort you put into these videos. I’ve been subscribed since a young teen. Til this day your videos are still 🔥
I think the best way to describe how the Titans see us is as the Immune system of somebody they'd care about. Cause to a degree we work as Azeroth's immune system from how the titans would see us.
the titans dont care about azeroth in a good sense, they are keeping her imprisoned
@@sneaksies8931 they clearly care about Azeroth not being corrupted, which as an immune system of the planet, in the titans eyes, we've done a damn good job preventing, but despite that they will see us as nothing more then an immune system.
Pretty much my thought, expanding out further the world soul saga will likely be us fighting for the independence of azeroth to be a sort of different being , separate, rather than a titan or void lord.
It’s interesting to think that the humans and dwarves are extended creations of the titans too (to create order?). Whereas Trolls and Protodragons are true natives while night elves are natives contaminated by Titan healing magic. So who should the humans fight for?
Amanthul allowed Eonar/Freya to experiment with life on Azeroth in exchange for her binding magics that keep Azeroth asleep. She knew that the chaos of life would cloud Amanthul's vision of the inevitable future: that life would eventually claim sovereignty over and free Azeroth.
Think we will ever find out what happened to Argus, AFTER going to the Shadowlands and hitting the Arbiter?
Did we ever find out? I mean wouldn't the Jailor have wanted to use such vast power more than just taking out the Arbiter?
Maybe something we will go back to? Maybe later on Argus reforms in the Shadowlands becoming an issue? Maybe he just dispersed like Arthas?
If I remember correctly he was put into the body of the new arbiter. Then we had to destroy him and somehow that made it necessary for Pelagos to become arbiter and fuse with the now depleted body of the new arbiter.
Yeah, in the zereth mortis campaign the dreadlords try to make a new arbiter with Argus’ soul but we kill it. So Argus is super dead and his soul is in the super shadowlands now
@@eggshapedisraelioperative6317 which we will have to visit to stop the plans of the Super Jailer, the thing the regular Jailer feared! And we'll find out it has always been the plan of the Super Jailer to have Argus die in the Shadowlands so his soul can kickstart everything in the Super Shadowlands.
@@josejuanandrade4439 great, that means having to endure an expac with super sylvanas, my least favourite antagonist, followed closely by regular sylvanas
@@eggshapedisraelioperative6317 To be fair, we have bigger problems then Super Sylvanas, such as the super grind for super anima to keep the super borrowed power systems fueled!
Uldis is one of those places that works so well for me in terms of worldbuilding. Massive and shrouded in mystery, not explained by exposition spouting NPCs.
If one day they uncover it's purpose I hope they leave enough other/new mysteries around to keep the world truely undiscovered.
I think that ultimately, Azeroth will reject the Titans and choose not to awaken and rise as a new deity - she will remain as she is, the Worldsoul, sustaining our world indefinitely and rejecting all the cosmic powers efforts to exploit her.
The team has mentioned they plan on waking her up, itl contribute to the next 20 years of warcraft w.e
I think she is not needed to sustain the world, seeing that Draenor allegedly didn't have a world soul. And when it's awakened, I think she can leave the world without shattering it.
@@ShadowTheHedgehogCZ do you think if it had one that it couldn't have shattered?
potentially unrelated: if a worldsoul has a class spec, is Azeroth heals, tank, or dps
@@starshinewindlord2716 more likely it would shatter anyway and the soul would die.
And maybe it did happen. I think the info that Draenor didn't have world soul might have come from sources outside of the game, unreliable sources, or both.
@@ShadowTheHedgehogCZ Given how unreliable in real-world terms some of the leadership at Blizz turned out, I think you're right.
I am glad when they leave out minute-to-minute details on some backstory, because that flexibility lets our player imagination have some time in the game too.
"Symbology" always reminds me of Boondock Saints :D Love your stuff, watch it even when I'm not playing WoW
Bellular always love to trigger players' PTSD. The Fel Reaver sound and now the SL cinematic 🤣
Appreciate the large pump of content before the New Year!
Now this was really cool video.
Must have taken a lot of effort to make just like many of others.
Sylvanas: This world is in prison.
Player: Oh, the world is a prison.
Sylvanas: (-_-)
She says "This world is a prison."
I am a simple man, and I appreciate clean instructions 💨
Now, please proceed, sir.
Audio drama was so good, thanks for bringing attentiont to that. Hope they do more of these!!
"Bro, do you know what weeds are?" Got to love Aman'Thul! (and Bellular, of course.)
I am reminded of a quote from The Boondock Saints. The word you're looking for is Symbolism. The use of symbols to convey meaning vs Symbology, the study of interpreting symbols.
there has always been a Ring around the Logo, just not Another Ring Floating around it. so if you check every expansions logo it shows a circle Rune around the Planet.
Didn’t take a fat enough rip to prepare, had to go back for seconds half way through
Hey, Shadowlands had some cool moments. It's problem is that it had moments - instead of an entire landscape of excellent experience.
Having played War Within quests, I do think what would be that final twist.
Azeroth does not want to wake up, in order to keep her inhabitants safe, and the titans shall force her to do.
I think Azeroth is, like in the cosmological map, "Reality" itself.
It is the most powerful one but the most passive one as well, and is only contained by the Balance of the cosmological forces.
I guess once we have an expansion where one cosmological force overpowers all, we'll get to the "End Times" of WoW.
i am the lorax and i speak for the trees
But you need a new thneed
I am sylvanas, burn it
id thneed so hard if i could@@randykemper1
The Lore-ax.
ive pissed myselnf
s
I've got an alternate theory that might explain the Titan stasis rings: they're actually being used to keep the world from completely breaking apart after Azeroth awakens and bursts forth from it. Basically stabilizing the world so its mortal races still have a home after she's "born."
😮I am shocked it starts with Sylvanas being correct. Like a band-aid torn off and me thrown to the frypan. Next the Aspects are actual family, and that's all they need to beat their enemies in the end. Regardless of me joking, I am interested in seeing where the story goes next - for better or worse.
I expect *both* parts of that quote to be true, that the world is a prison and she will set us all free. The Last Titan will likely see her return with the reunification of all the other elves, probably with some bit of knowledge that her years (perhaps centuries of subjective time for her) of wandering the Maw uncovered.
Sylvanas was right by accident, as she knew nothing of this. If she knew, it would be only because Zovaal told her. But if he did, wouldn't Sylvanas then tell us once her soul was mended and she tried to redeem herself? Would she not think it important to tell us about the imprisoned world soul and what Zooval wants to do with it? Seems rather important.
I'd say she knew nothing, and she was only talking about how the world of the living is a prison, or how life in general is a prison because it's unjust. But she never ever talked about the world soul stuff to any character on screen from what I can recall.
love these videos, bell. They're great to listen to when I'm worldquesting after all this time away.
I would argue with you @Bellulargaming in the boss fight against Argus, he splits into 7 "blue constellars" Constellars themselves are mysterious and we've seen few so far, once in the realm of desth, one in ulduar, and one ferrying in Helya's domain, but they are something of an order dynasty.
Azeroth's world soul may be yellow or gold but on the outside there is a blue Hue, maybe loke Argus might be green mainly of death but still has that blue constellar form, like Arcane. Like Argus, Azeroth still has a majority Titan Influence and the Titans might be the main bad guy in the end. I can see Amanthul killing the rest of the pantheon like Freya and stealing their power to become whole again, the end goal is balance with the light, with void, with death, with order, with life, to create a cohesive peace, not to end every fabric that makes up our reality.
i've long held that the world souls are neutral, until discovered/touched by whatever faction which then starts bending the shaping that entity to their ways. they only become arcane titans if the arcane titans claim dibs and are able to complete the 'adoption process' :)
I have a question. Can we even consider this hypothesis of colors and magic? The monks also have green magic and yet they don’t seem to be connected to the realm of death.
And Druids. They might be different shades tho, fel green & death green are pretty distinctive
So I grab a spliff, pull out my phone, hit play and flick my lighter...
You scared me bro, I thought I'd started hallucinating 😂
12:40 Yet another non-sequitur. You do "NOT" know that the fiery thing shown in the WW cinematic is a world soul of azeroth...... AT ALL. They even go out of their way to include dialogue where Thrall does "NOT" confirm who the voice is. Thrall, who has heard azeroth before when he was doing an Earth spirit journey.... does "NOT" think it was the same voice. All he is willing to say is that the sword was pointed at something.
You've got to stop doing the same logical fallacies that made you falsely assume Yrel was doing any forceful light conversions at all.... despite all the evidence in that scenario showing she did no such thing. It is getting ridiculous.
I'm telling you man... Azeroth was a captured void lord they partially succeeded in converting to their order!!! They imprisoned Azeroth to do this, then the old gods tried to free Azeroth under their rule as the Black empire, but ultimately failed!
Fascinating analysis, I think you may be onto this earlier than anyone
This video was so flavorful; I’ve been doing lots of thinking as well about what Azeroth really is. I don’t believe she’s just a titan. I think she’s so much more. Is she even a titan? That can be debated as well. Thank you so much for delivering this video.
Did you just assume Azeroth's preferred pronouns?
the wife and i really appreciated the rip warning at the start. taking it now hope its good will update after.
Edit: your videos are soooo fuckin good
I am stoked to be going back to Ulduar.
I was always under the impression that Argus' soul went to the Shadowlands because the Mawsworn Kyrian collected his soul.
Learning colors with Bellular, world soul edition
has there ever been a reason given for the revendreth theme playing in one random tower in the lost ruins in the azure span? it's the northeast tower northeast of camp nowhere.
Thanks for the video and info on your sponsor!
I believe after the last expansion WoW will have a reality reset/rewrite/remake sort of like what Final Fantasy did
I missed Bellular's lore videos! Glad I caught this one. It made me slightly consider cranking up my WoW account again. I do wonder (and hope) that Blizzard is taking resources and creating a NEW type of game that will embody the best elements of WoW, but with revamped graphics (can be done) and a new story arc. Warcraft has had it's time....
When you said symbology, I couldn't help thinking of agent Schmecker from Boondock Saints
I wonder how this final expansion for World of Warcraft will end. Will the Titan Azeroth become born and end up becoming the leader of the Titans? Will Azeroth destroy the Void or push it back since the galaxy needs balance with the whole Light vs Dark thing? Will the planet Azeroth be destroyed if the Void Lords succeed in their mission or when the Titan Azeroth is born? Will both the Horde and Alliance disband and focus on trying to rebuild their nations after the Void Lords attack? What will happen to all of the important characters through this series? Will the races of Azeroth band together or become even more divided? What about the other planets such as Argus and Outland? Will the Titan Azeroth restore Draenor back together? Will the Titan Azeroth cleanse Argus of its corruption? Will World of Warcraft end with a triumph like Lord of the Rings or end with a whimper like Game of Thrones?
Oh my, I never get such an invitation at the start of a video! Don't mind if I do~
We should use 'Order' as a verb to refer to the phenomenon you describe the Titans doing to beings like the dragons and Azeroth itself.
Could you argue the Titans 'Ordered' the Trolls into Night Elves?
I suspect that the black blood corrupted Titan facility we’ll see in Undermine is in fact Uldaz or the facility that MOTHER said she didn’t know of.
The thought of the Pantheon being evil completely sucks.
But, stabilizing into what? That is the big question. The Old Gods failed to learn the secret. Sargeras met too much resistance and failed. What will Azeroth become?
Small Detail: Aegwynn defeated the Avatar of Sargeras in the wastes of Dragonblight. She only imprisoned it in the temple of the moon afterwards.
thanks for uploading
Rogal Dorn approves this message of fortifying a position.
Probably not a popular opinion but, the Last Titan will be WoWs last expansion. It explains why Chris Metzen came back amongst other things.
The additional titan facility that is unkown is Uldeez.
uldeez what?
All I know is Aman'Thul is bad and were fighting him in The Last Titan. I don't know about all the other Titans though, I think Eonar will be on our side, but maybe will kill all the others too. I think Sargeras will have a redemption arc too like Illidan, but I think will still kill him, maybe he becomes Void corrupted or sacrifices himself or something. Since he's the only fully powered Titan left besides Azeroth which will awaken, and I think when Sargeras stabbed Azeroth he destroyed or damaged Azeroth's titanic prison, which is why she bled Azerite.
I’ll never be able to tolerate playing this game again but I enjoy hearing the lore from you
I immediately paused the video stuffed my bong to the brim and took the fattest rip I could. I’m ready
..... I think this is why I liked MISTS and DF, cause its easy enough to follow inside its own expansion
All these years and I still don't understand why when stabbed in silithus the only places azeroth bled were Zandalar, Kul Tiras, and random islands only tryhards went to started bleeding. that's like getting stabbed in the chest and only your hands and fingers start bleeding. sorry mention of the blood brought this back to mind. the story in wow is so fractured I'm not sure even Chris can get it all to make sense.
That was pretty good. Thanks bellular
Is Azeroth really a titan, or something more related to the black empire as its original ruler, imprisoned and hidden inside the planet? I wouldn't surprised if Azeroth was the most powerful old god ever created or most ancient demon.
So many pictures and words that remind me of CERN and the end of the world as we know it.
I just want to know if that one weird void coin from the adventure guide is going to come into play
Yes! Why is nobody talking about that? I thought it was creepy as heck that she has been spying on me personally for so long! 😂😂
I feel like Azeroth is a titan but an elemental/primal titan. This might be why no one has controlled her so far because she ‘is’ primal magic. Hence the primal dragons etc. so whoever (cosmological force) can ‘control’ her they would be unbelievably powerful
I love your lore videos Bell!!
Azeroth looking like Golb would go hard
This is, without a doubt, the warcraft video of 2023
I haven't played World of Warcraft, or really kept up with the story since Warlord's of Draenor, so you seem like the right kind of person to ask this question of.
Where is a good place I can go read up on the story lines for each expansion, and get thoroughly caught up on the last decade (and in reality, at this point I might as well just start at the beginning of World of Warcraft) of story and lore?
I personally like Nobbel87's videos on wow lore. He has a ton of them.
in addition to nobbel, look up lawllin and find his playlist on WoW lore. He has a very nice series summarizing the lore of each expansion in order
The primals got imprisoned before the sundering. Maybe the vault was closer beforw the world shattered
Bell: “I want you to take the fattest rip of whatever the hell’s going to help you survive this video.”
Me at the end of the video: I’m just going to pour me a double scotch… this man was cooking…
Just so long as Metson doesn't try to get everyone to chant "Geek is!" again.
17:20 That is false. Velen never knew what a Titan was before Sargeras arrived. The planet Argus had "NOT" been ordered by titans at all. The facility in antorus was built by Sargeras. The only powerful beings that had visited Argus before Sargeras that we know of are cosmic team Light, with the atam'al crystals. Argus was bound either by Sargeras or by Light.
I wish they made old content more fun to play. All the nerfs make old content mindless, but new content is hard to get into cuz you don’t have context.
Batman levels of detective work, well done!
I didn’t understand a word you said. All I’m trying to do is reclaim Lordaeron for the Alliance.
I really dosen't like all this Titans are bad stuff. I mean last time we saw them they literally sacrificed themselves to protect us and Azeroth from Sargeras. They even revived us when Argus kill us all. Ik its trendy to lf the big bad white man at the top but in a universe where the void exist do we really need to make the Titans and Order the next finale boss?
symbolism is use of symbols.. symbology is the study of symbols.. love your videos! long time fan
that shadowlands cinematic was fire though.
Everybody who make it to Unkem Country got the Golden Ball Power.
Great video. loved it
So why is there a Titan Keeper that was called to Karazhan?
I think we may have our answer.
I haven’t watched the video, so can you tell me why?
The lore got so confusing that I kinda lost interest in the 'retail' and dove into classic. While I still can't quite follow WTH has happened, you do a great job of getting into it all.
I agree with you. But why Sargeras stabbed the planet? He was scared of the Titans hold ?
I would love it if one day l blizzard devs came out and said that they actually wrote lore based on videos like this because it makes more sense than what they came up with.
Nice that people are finally catching up xD
Why such stories are not in game in one digestible way?
Turning the Titans evil I don’t really like. Considering Sargeras turn to devil doesn’t make sense if Amanthul was even worse
theyre not evil but theyre not heros either
What if Uldaz is the titan name for the Tomb of Sargeras? And the unknown facility is under Dorn in the TWW expansion?
Since we can assume the titans and their lackyes didn't get to the other side of azeroth, so they couldn't build a facility there.
yes sir! sparking up now
You also find those rings in Sepulcher I'm pretty sure.
I have an odd feeling Blizzard will figure out a way to keep WoW going.
I left just before Lich King and was thinking about checking things out again & I've been at it for an hour, no more pvp servers? Very confusing what expansion I'm supposed to choose. If I get the newest expansion, do I get the previous expansion? I'm kinda about to say screw it & looking at your game play video, I don't see much of an improvement in graphics since 2008 which seems insane.
I don't know if I'll ever recover from that surprise Shadowlands MP4 without my consent. My entire day is ruined.
Zereth Ordos is nos the plane of order, it's the factory where it was made. Like Zereth Mortis was where The Shadowlands were made.
Those are a great pair of glasses on Bell. Very Acme Bureau lol
Wait a minute, did he imply that Steve Danuser is gone??? Please say yes
"Bro. Do you know what weeds are!?"
